Berlin, April lS.-Nad Germany
looked to Reichsfuehrer Hitler Thurs
day for . prompt and defiant retoRt
to the League Of Nations councils
condemnation Of the feich'S abroga.
ton Of her treaty obligations.
Mani leaders forecast that Hitler,
stung to the quick by the councils &C.
ton, might adopt any or oil Of these
courses:
!. Refuse to enter any peace pact
proposed % far.
2. withdraw his offer to Join In
the western European defensive air
pact.
3. Flatly refuse to return to the
League Of Nations.
It was admitted, however, that the
reichswehr, fearing . chain Of anti
German military alliances, conceiv.
ably might influence Der F1lehrer to
continue negotiations to keep Ger.
many from total isolation.
May CAN New Plebigcito
The possibility also was seen that
Hitler might call for . new plebiscite
asking the nation to. endorse hts for
eign and domestic policies. The Lea
gue's criticism was particularly re-
sented because It was regarded @
treating Germany q an inferior na-
ton and thereby shaking the founda-
tion stone Of Mani foreign policy
equality In the family Of nations.
The reichsfuehrer, who has been ct
hts 6avarian mountain retreat, was
expected to return to Berlin Thursday
to decide on his course Of action and
60 into immediate consultation with
his cabinet.
Wilhelmstrasse officials were par
ticularly chagrined ut Poland's action
In supporting the tri-power resolu-
ports, however, that Poland still in.
tends to remain friendly with the
Naxis. encouraged officials to believe
that Hitler for this reason would be
prompted to express himself with
especial vigor when he replies to the
Geneva resolution.
Raise Deception Claim
One fact stands out In all the COM
ment: Germany feels she was de-
ceived In her negotiations with the
three western European powers and
that, therefore, Great Britain's pres
tige as . mediator on the continent
has virtually been destroyed.
A strong intimation was made In
official quarters that the smaller
powers on the League council were
'blackmailed" into voting for the go
called erganlserS Of international
peace."
"They voted against their con-
sciences" was the opinion expressed.
It was even suggested that Foreign
Minister Beck Of Poland may have
struck . hard bargain with Pierre
Laval, French foreign minister, In
exchange for polands ballot.
Hitler's personal organ, the Voel-
kischer Beobachter, said, Geneva
has become the platform for world
Bolshevism."
The government controlled press
directed It's attack particularly against
the Bolsheviks, terming Maxim Lit
