the League invitation rested with
Chancellor Hitler, and with him

with the Reich's accepting.
If the invitation is accepted,

ity in European dominance from
Paris to London as the powers
were informed the League of Ma.
tionS Council would not meet in
Geneva, but in London to settle
the graveSt dispute between France
and Germany that has arisen
since the war.
Troops Still Moving
The dispute is still fraught with
disastrous possibilities, because
German troops, originally called
mere symbols" by Hitler, are still
pouring into the Rhinela1d demili-
tarized by the Treaty of Versailles,
and because French troops are still
pouring into Frances vast sub
terranean line of frontier fortifica-
tions.
Anything can happen along that
line. but now arbitration appears
possible, because the British in
duced the French to consent to
shift the venue of the court from
Geneva, which Germany consider
ed impossible, to London, where
Germany might consent to be
heard, might even consent to ap-
pear.
The court nominally will be the
council of the League. Really it
will be Britain. especially now that
the council has been called to
meet in London Saturday for the
first time in is years.
Britain In Key Position
France charges that Germany
violated the Locarno and Yer
sailles treaties by sending troops
into the Rhineland and repudiat-
ing Locarno.
Germany's defense is that
France first violated Locarno.
The treaty of Locarno meant
that France and Germany were
mutually pledged never to at
tack each other. Germany says
that when France signed the
Franco-Soviet treaty. she prom.
ised to attack Germany if Ger
many attacked the Soviet Union.
and therefore France nullified
Locarno.
Britain is judge. because she
is so powerful that both France
and Germany want and need her
before either can act against
the other.
In Role of Court
Britain says Germany did vio-
late Locarno by sending troops
into the Rhineland, but in equity
Germany had the right to do
so, because the Rhineland is
her own territory.
Thereby Britain, having equally
placated and antagonized both
sides, becomes the perfect court,
and it is her purpose in London
to achieve compromise that
will keep peace in Europe il
only for a few years.
Expansion In East
The British task in the London
conference is to convince France
that Britain will stand with her
against any German aggression
and at the same time persuade
Germany t. accept terms which
would not seem to curb her ambi
tions in the East, but which
would effectively do so.
This is based on the assump'
ton, fostered by Nazi literature
that Germany intends to expand
by attacking the Soviet Union
and this il turn is the whole
background of the Franco-Ger
man dispute. since no Frenchman
believed Germany would always
consent to demilitarization of the
Rhineland and no Frenchman
thinks Germany wants to make
war on France today.
