HITLER FORCED TO
DETERMINE POLICY
Dictator Must Either Accept
AngIo-French Proposals or
Arm for Trouble

Berlin, Feb. 11.-R-G Germany,
faced with the alternative of cooperat-
ing with her former world war enc
mics In the cause Of European peace
or rearming against the possibility of
another war, stood at the crossroads
Of her foreign relations policy Monday.
While Reichsfuehrer Hitler studied
his course, observers won ere
whether he would accept the Anglo
French proposals for mutual defense
or turn toward program Of armed
isolation.
Reliable sources said Hitler had re-
ceived unmistakable representations
from the French and British ambassa-
doris that only by his acceptance Of
the London proposals could he hope to
avert Germany's enlightenment by a
ring Of unfriendly powers.
The Fuehrer,s ultimate decision may
hinge to large extent on his attitude
toward the eastern Locarno past spon-
sored by Russia and France. II he
should feel compelled to repeat the
opposition he expressed toward east
ern Locarno last September, Germany
probably would consider it necessary
to take extra military precautions
against possible Soviet attack.
Sources close to the Reichswehr
standing army said q decision to
adopt q course Of non-cooperation
with the London program would entail
Germany's equipping herself with Of
fensive as well as defensive weapons
It also would undoubtedly involve
these sources said, immediate adop-
ton Of q plan for universal military
training.
