GERMANY'S ARMS PLAN DISCUSSED
BY UNITED PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Germanys army numerically will
be the biggest in Europe, outside
of Russia. Within a few years, it
will be the most powerful in mill
tary value on the continent, be-
cause it possesses the greatest
industrial organization, the finest
indsutrial organization and the
most efficient and largest CONNER
cial air force.
@. What will Germany's decision
mean diplomaticalW? A. 1t is like
ly to heighten the understanding be-
tween France and Soviet Russia.
It also would tend to draw Eng
land and France closeN together.
as we'll as France and Italy and
France and the Little Entente
(Roumania, Czechoslovakia and Ju-
goslavia. -.--,..
@. What else does it mean? A..
The ornaments race already start
ed will be intensified. What little
reliance the nations placed on the
leagues treaties and agreements
for peaceful settlement of disputes
will be diminished greatly by Ger
manys reputation of the Yer
sailleS treaty. Resumption Of the
pre-war system of the division Of
Europe into hostile camps and mil
itary alliances will be accelerated.
@. Why did Germany decide to
announce at this time her rearm-
ament program? A. Rearmament
was one of the original planks Of
the Nazi platform. Hitler seized
this moment because England an
nounced a general increase in arm
aments and France announced an
increase in her conscript army
term. Hitler's sudden announce
ment was designed to cut the
ground from under England and
France, who planned to extract
extra concessions from Germany in
return for their recognition of Ger
many's present rearmament pro-
gram, in an effort to limit it.
English Leader Quoted
@. What is Germany's reason
for rearming? A. Hitler quoted
Stanley Baldwin, British conserva-
tive leader, in a speech defending
the recent British white paper: "a
land which is not willing to take
the necessary precautionary meas
ures for its defense will never have
power in this world, neither moral
nor material power" Hitler wants
both. He wants to regain a place
in the concert of nations commen-
surate with Germany's potential
power. He wants to efface the post
war inferiority complex. He wants
to be able to impose the national
will. He has the examples of TIA
ly's and Russia's success to that
effect.
@. Will Germany get away with
it? A. Undoubtedly. For while
relations with its neighbors prob
ably will not be pleasant. But
when it is strong militarily Ger
many is likely to find friends as
did italy and Russia in similar cir

BONUS BILL To
BE VOTED ON
BY CON GRESS

WASHINGTON. March is. Ulp-
The house rules committee favor
ably reported today a rule which
brings the soldier bonus issue before
the house tomorrow and assures the
inflation-bonus bloc vote on their
Ngreenback" proposal.
The rule provides 10 hours of gen.
eral debate on the whole contro-
versial issue of how to pay the S2,-
O00.o00,000 bonus.
It enables advocates of initiation,
lottery and bond issue methods OF
payment to offer their proposals for
a vote
The rule should be fair to all bo-
nus blocs," said Chairman John j..
O'Connor. "and while it is a de-
parture from regular rules, the sit
nation is unprecedented"
Under the rule. the Patman in
flation bill. or the Cochran-TydingS
measure. can be offered as a substi-
tutes for the Vinson American Le-
mon measure. Teller votes will be
taken on the substitution motions.
The Vinson bill was reported IA
vorahly by the ways and means
committee, but the rule fails to pro-
tect that anh-inflation measure
from amendments.
The Cochran-T -Tydings bill calls for
payment of the bonus in negotiable
bonds. Its advocates have held the
President would never consider such
a proposal, but was certain to veto
either the Vinson or the Patmsn
bills if they go to the White House.

LONDON, March 18.-Etirope is
preparing for war.
That is a sad word to write, less
than 20 years after the greatest
catastrophe of history. Yet it is
true.
The blinds have been lifted and
there can be no further -pretense.
Adolf Hitler, whatever. his follow
ing among his countrymen and
his reputation abroad. at least has
the distinction of bringing the is
sue into the open. The hope among
advocates of peace now is that the
showdown will bring general rec
ognition of the futility of war and
lead to peace.
All nations are rearming, and
have either admitted or boasted
of it. The Allied powers, under
the Versailles treaty, agreed to
disarm after Germany had scrapped
her amendments. Germany's ar
gument today is you defaulted on
your pledge, we fulfilled ours. You
have scrapped the treaty, so why
shouldn t we prepare to defend out
SelveS?'
Millions in Europe are asking
questions about the next war. They
cannot be answered, but the writ
er, on the basis of his observa-
tions of European trends during
the last 16 years. makes the. fol-
lowing replies to various questions.
G. Is a European war coming
A. 1t seems inevitable eventually,
barring a miracle. That is the
reason why every European ma
ton is arming on an unprecedent-
ed scale. The rulers of the va
rious countries are convinced war
is coming.
@. How soon will it come? A.
My guess is not sooner than five
years, but probably within ten. H.
G.. Wells guessed 1910. Gen. Eric
Ludendorff, suggested as command
er of the new German military
machines, says within a. year. David
Lloyd George thinks within 10
years. Edouard Benes. veteran
foreign minister of Czechoslovakia.

Clarei.
Hyland, a former Stanford foot

Fiermonte evidently was not the
type as no contract was forthcoming

panied him back to New York in an
automobile.
This trip is the center of contro-
versy in the hearing before Super

land charges the couple stopped at
hotels in various cities, enroute
east.
Testifying today. Hyland said his
former wife telephoned him just
before the first hearing of the trial
a week ago, telling him of her love
for Fiermonte, who now is enjoy
ing a second honeymoon" with
his present wife. They are abroad.
Hyland quoted Miss st. John as
saving she "would be a fool to give
up the happiness Fiermonte gave
her,

with improper persons. Who passed
bad notes and who had deserted his
wife and child,'' Hyland said.
Miss st. John denied this con-
versation.
Under questioning by Hyland IS
attorney, the writer said she and
Fiermonte occupied adjoining rooms
on their transcontinental trip. In
/ the course of her newspaper work,
she said she had been forced to
associate with men to a great ex-
tent and that she had held adjoin-
ing rooms with them throughout
