have been made for rearmament and
for more effective military succor in
case Of need.
Again, II one seeks an explanation
of the change, 1t Is to be found In the
same quarter. External pressure has
forced internal union. Rearmament
in Germany and the language of her
leaders is menacing, but the uncer-
tain character Ut her foreign policy
has cemented and renewed friend
ships which. in recent times. had
somewhat cooled. The truth is that,
while Hitler continues to scatter as
surance Of the peaceful intentions of
Germany, the acts of his government
lily second his words. upon which. in
deed, they offer an ominous COM
rnentary.
Reich Raises Demands.
As Germanys strength grows, the
language Of her spokesmen becomes
more menacing and the attitude Of her
rulers more uncompromising. Her de-
mands increase and the goal which
Germany must reach before she can
consider herself or be considered by
others a satisfied power" to use a
recent phrase Of Mussolini's, con-
stantly recedes, as, by new conces-
sions or acquiescences, we approach its
original position.
The demand for return of the for
Der German colonies, agitation for
which was until recently q movement
which with dificulty was kept alive,
is now proclaimed as a definite con-
dition sine qua non of Germany's
friendship with the British Empire.
Before the war, German naval RI
valry was one Of the main causes, II
not indeed the chief cause, of tension
between the Reich and ourselves.
When we thought danger of q new
rivalry in this sphere had been con-
jured by the London naval agreement,
the restoration Of mandated terri
tories was hoisted into the place
which it had occupied in pre-war
years. Possession of colonies, we are
told, Is question of honor. and
honor, in Germany's eyes, like neces-
ity. knows no law. overrides all treaties
and absolves from all engagements.
Pretext for Big Fleet.
Defense Of German oversea inter-
ests was the pretext for creation of q
great German feet. The London
agreement was to last in perpetuity.

posed needs Of restored German
colonial empire? Scarcely as long
