French military circles for frightening
the French enlistment period, and the
future course of Russia. In any event
he will make an attempt to separate
the proposed air alliance from the in
elusive security agreement worked out
by the British and the French.
The London plan, reich officials have
bluntly stated, is not acceptable in it's
present form, and Germany will not
join any new general pact unless some
of her colonies are returned. European
boundary changes which Germany

Danzig, cut off from the Fatherland by
the Versailles pact.
Objections are also seen to the pro-
posal that Germany join the Eastern
pact urged by France and the Franco
Italian treaty guaranteeing Austrian
independence.
The air alliance, however. is viewed
differently by the Nazis, since it would
give them either the chance to build an
air fleet or get recognition of the fleet
that it is generally charged they have
already built; Germany would be ac-
copied as an equal partner, touching
Nazi pride and thirst for prestige; and
the reich has hopes of regaining Brit
aims waning sympathy since the pro-
posal emanated from London.
Italy, the first nation to reply to the
proposals drafted at London, officially
stepped into line for an inclusive west
ern European security agreement,
affirming her adherence in principle,
although making a special exception
of the special situation of Italy with
regard to Great Britain. and vice
versa" The communique declared that
Italy believes the Anglo-French propos-
ais contain the possibility of an ac-
cord with Germany and therefore the
beginning of a period Of collaboration
among the interested powers"
