League Dazed;

Be Summoned

By United Press
GENEVA, March THE League
of Nations, stupefied by Adolf Hit
ler's denunciation of the Rhineland
clauses of the Versailles Treaty and
his abrogation of the Locarno Pact,
was expected to call its council into
session next week to consider Ger
many's act.
France is expected to appeal to
the council invoking Article II of
the League Covenant as it did last
March when Germany repudiated
the military clauses of the Ver-
sailles Treaty.
(Article IL provides that "any war
or threat of war =. is declared a
matter of concern to the whole
League and the League shall take
any action that may be deemed wise
and effectual to safeguard the peace
of nations.")
The League is the guardian of
both the Versailles and the Locarno
Treaties.
No less surprising to League Off
cials was Hitler's announced readi-
ness to re-enter the League under
certain conditions. Not one hid ex-
pected Germany to make friendly
gesture in this direction &C this

Pierre Etienne Flandin, foreign
minister, called Sir George Clerk
and Vittorio Cerruti, the British and
Italian ambassadors, into conference
at the foreign Office as fellow sigma
tories of the Locarno Treaty that
guarantees the German French
Belgian frontiers.
Flandin Asks Reply
Flandin urged that Britain give a
speedy reply to Frances recent
question as to what it would do if
Germany sent troops into the
Rhineland.
A foreign Office spokesman said in
curt sentences:
Germany signed the Locarno
Treaty of its own free will in ex-
change for the premature evacua-
ton of the Rhineland. Therefore
France intends to do its utmost TO
force her to respect her signature.
1--WE will take the matter before
the League and if necessary invite
The Hague Court to hear Germany's
pseudo complaints about the
French Russian treaty.
I'm any case France will not sac
rif1ce its security, but will fight to
the limit alongside Great Britain
within the framework of the
League to force respect.
Report Made to Eden
Hitler repeatedly after the Saar
plebiscite said that no point of diff
ference remained with France.
Therefore France does not under
stand this tearing up of the

held in an attempt to fix the at

ward the German stand. The coun-

The United States govern

strictly aloof from any Euro
pean controversy resulting
from Germany's remuneration
OF the Locarno pact and re-
occupation of the Rhineland.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull

GENTLY complete to justify comment.
Asked if Germany's action violat-
ed any legal agreement with the
United States, Hull said the treaties

did not require elucidation.

official had pointed out that part

ing, called to hear him. 1t was a
speech that matched any in his
silver-voiced career.
Outlines His Memorandum
His voice fell in appeal, rose in
determination, flashed in anger at
injustices he alleged had been piled
upon Germany as he faced the
Nazi uniformed Reichstag deputies.
He reviewed q Germany's hard
ships, spoke of its rights and its
powers, and at the end read to the
deputies the memorandum handed
to foreign ENJOYS, embracing his
momentous announcements.
These were:
/. Germany at noon today, when
the Reichstag met, sent into the
Rhineland zone symbolic force OF
troops, a few battalions only, in
token of the decision that Locarno
is dead and that Germany has the
right to militarize it despite the
specific ban of the Versailles Treaty
2. Now that Germany is on full
equal terms with all other great
nations, rearmed and free, she is
ready to re-enter the League OF
Nations from which she resigned
Oct. IA, 1888, because she believed
she was not being treated as ar
equal at the world disarmament con-
ference.
Ready to Make Treaty
3. Germany is ready to conclude
a 25-year non-aggreSsion pact with
France and Belgium, whose frontier
the Locarno Treaty protected.
4. Germany is ready to negotiate
a non-aggression pact or pacts with
all her neighbors, east and west, in
cluding Lithuania.
5. Germany is ready to establish
with France and Belgium mutual
demilitarized zones as deep as those
countries wish.
6. Germany urges the negotiations
of the long projected western Eu-
ropean aid defense treaty, by which
the principal powers would pool their
air forces to blast the territory of
any aggressor with bombs.

But in this final defiance of

Then he called an election for

COLOGNE, Germany, March T.
German troops crossed the river
Rhine today for the first time in
nearly II years to occupy key cities
as symbols of Germany's complete
emancipation from the military
clauses of the Versailles treaty.
They appeared, battalion after
battalion, in cities where no German
soldier under arms had been per-
niitted since the Versailles Treaty
was signed in 1919.
Along country roads, on railways,
they approached the 30-mile forbid
den strip on the German side of
the Rhine. They crossed the line
and some of them went on to cross
the Rhine itself.
Promptly at noon, as Adolf Hit
Ter assembled the rostrum of the
Reichstag in Berlin, a battalion of
anti-aircraft artillery crossed the
to be followed by convoy of army
motor trucks.
And while Hitler's voice an
nounced through loud speakers that
Germany at last had attained COM
plete military freedom, battalion
of young infantrymen marched into
Coblenz.
A battalion of infantry arrived
at Mainz early in the afternoon
and marched to the old garrison.
One battalion entered Trier. An
other crossed the Rhine by rail-
road to Saarbrucken, returned to
Germany last year. It was ar
ranged for a battalion to enter
