Gern,unvs Demands We're Fep

ESS than a year ago Baron Konstantin Won
IL Neurath Reich minister for foreign affairs, who
will sit in with Sir John and Reichsfuehrer Hitler
told the writer that while Germany intended to pro-
vide herself with that degree of ornaments which
her national defense requires she was willing to con-
fine it within certain limits.
Germany, he said did not seek offensive weapons.
She wanted no heavy artillery. The biggest gun
she asked he specified IS centimeters- about
six inches Other powers have them up to 10 inches
The Reich wanted no heavy tanks. Tanks up to
six tons would be large enough. Other countries
have cotton tanks. She would also have to nave
airplanes. 1t was suggested she would be satisfied
with short-range military planes, in number about
30 per cent of the combined strength of her neigh
bors
1t was also understood she would be satisfied with
a short-term military force of 100000 equipped with
ant-aircraft, ant-tank and other modern phara-
phernalia.
