the widely circulated NaZi magazine
Of Munich, and won his case. The
regent newspaper blackliSting was sup
posed to be due to his refusal to allow
the use of the Hindenburg and the
Graf Zeppelin for advertising ships
in the Reichstag elections.
He is big blond Viking, born on
the northern border of Germany, and
is supposed to have touch of Scandi-
navian in his ancestry. His father
was wealthy dealer in tobacco leaf.
At the Universities of Muenchen, Ber-
lin and Leipzig he was educated in
liberal arts, not in technology or engi-
neering.
His degree is that Of doctor Of
philosophy. In the old Germany, a
philosopher worked at his trade. That's
what DR.. Eckener did, as a prolific
writer, liberal lecturer and contro-
versiallst. One thing that stirred in
him a contentious mood was one Of
old Count Zeppelin's first erratic gas
bags. DR.. Eckener thought it was
mainly exhibitionism and fooliShneSs.
Sensible men kept their feet on the
ground. He called the airship the "Air
Counts Air Castle"
In 1906, he met the old count at
a garden party. He wanted to argue,
but the count engaged him in a chess
game instead. Between moves in a
chess game, there is time to settle
almost anything. The count indoc-
trinated the philosopher with the idea
that maybe some day airships could
be made manageable and useful, but
with no hint of the preposterous
thought that they might some day
fly oceans. DR.. Eckener did a little
back-seat driving in one of the counts
sensitive and faltering balloons and
became an airship fan.
He was past 40. Nearly half his
working life had gone to letters, the
arts and public affairs. He joined
the counts organization as press
agent, later as technician, navigator,
! designer, builder and executive. Still
zeStfull and diligent as he nearS 10,
he arrives on the Hindenburg, still on
the uptake In spite of his apparent
political eclipse. He has been q
magnificent flying exhibit of the cul-
ture and integrity of the old Germany.

halfway measures In the shape oi

half-w measures In the shape Of
economic sanctions.
Great Britain also, months earlier,
when Lord Londonderry was still air
minister, greatly under-estimated the
strength Of the German air force.
Now the Europe in which kind words
are more than bayonets and simple
faith than boiling blood Is no more.
The kind words may 60 on, but be-
hind them force will negotiate silently
with force. So far in history this pro-
cedure has had but one outcome.
Germans Questioned.
Meanwhile, the British government
has addressed o memorandum to the
German government, asking further
details about the program which Hit
Ter grandiosely proposed some weeks
ago for the reorganization OF Europe
and the sterilization of peace. 1t
will be interesting to see what hap
pens to the British QUESTIONABLE.
A dispatch from Berlin yesterday
indicated that the Germans were
pleased by its conciliatory tone, that an
answer will be made Gin due course"
that the German position is "that no
substantial approach is possible until
the aftermath Of the Ethiopian con-
quest is cleared away" There is
something ominous in this, IN the
light of what happened to the 1885
proposals from Germany. For, 1t
must be remembered, Hitler also pro-
posed peace measures last year which
included an air pact and an Eastern
pact.
The course of the negotiations has
recently been exposed in British
blue book, which traces diplomatic ex-
changes between Britain, Germany
and France, from June, 1884, to March,
1896. 1t is an amazing document.
And It shows, that having fred
propaganda bomb into the air, the
German government proceeded on
course whose whole result was to sa-
botage any definite agreement or
even any eye-to-eye discussion.
Delay Excuses Found.
First, the Comintern conference in
Moscow made negotiations inadvisable
Then the Italian Ethiopian war made
postponement necessary. Then the
Franco-Soviet military alliance did
not allow the discussion of European
air pact. Then, again, the war in
Africa led to the polite dismissal Of
Sir Eric PhippS' renewed proposals
for discussions. And in the end,
Hitler sent his troops into the Rhine
land, destroyed the Locarno Treaty,
and offered again brand-new pro-
gram: An air pact in the West, and
non-aggression treaties in the East
To make a grandioSe offer but post
pone negotiations which might make
the offer more than words-until the
next fait accompli-appears to be a
German tactic.
y y
Well meaning liberals, particularly
in England, continue to regard Ger
many as though she were not revolu-
tionary country which has taken over
from the Third International the very
tactics which, coming from Russia,
she so deplores.
The policy of drift can go on. But
it is likely to end with Germany on
top Of Europe, or, as in China, as in
Africa, in war.

Grand Council and the Council OF
| Ministers will meet in quick succession
| at the Palazzo VeneZia.
The two sessions will bring formal
annexation of Ethiopia by Italy and q
new definition of the Italian kingdom
as an empire" well-informed sources
said.
Harar Is Occupied.
To add to the reasons for celebra-
ton was the oficial announcement
that Italian troops had entered Harar
shortly after noon yesterday, under
the reconnaissance of 80 airplanes
commanded by Gen RAMA.
The soldiers found the city, second
largest in Ethiopia, sacked by looters
Guards were Immediately mounted
over foreign consulates and detach-
ment was started out to make contact
with the italian forces at Diredawa, on
the Adds Ababa D jibouti railroad.
The government-control press
prepared the populace for these an
nouncements. Students cheered King
Victor Emmanuel as Emperor. Fascist
headquarters sent Mussolini congratu-
lations on the occupation Of Adds
Ababa, terming him founder of the
Empire"
II Duce himself ordered foreign
consular officers to issue Italian visas
on passports of persons wishing to visit
Ethiopia.
First Empire" Day.
He directed also that Sunday-al-
ready being designated as the first
day of the empire"-should be cele-
brated as a national as well as re-
ligious holiday.
The calling Of the sessions Of the
Grand Council and the cabinet sup
ported popular belief that Italy's
long-desired acquisition of a region
for expansion has naterialiZed.
Fascist machinery requires the cab
met to work out details Of such meas
ures after the broad outlines have
been decided upon by the supreme
executive body, the Grand Council.
Both had an opportunity to do 50
tonight.
Some unconfirmed reports indi-
Gated the Chamber Of Deputies would
be called to pass on resolutions Of
annexation of Ethiopia in respect for
the last vestiges of parliamentary au-
thority left in Italy.
Informed sources said today's
formalities were considered necessary
to counteract future European devel-
opments.
The Fascist intention was to face
Britain, France and other countries
which adjudged Italy the aggressor
in East Africa with italian resolu-
tions to designate the irrevocable
form and conservation in political
history of the conquest of Ethiopia"
