was considerable doubt as to the ability of the French, to force an agreement with the other Locarno powers on a common program, tn- cluding sanctions.
 Britain Is Understanding
 Foreign Minister Flandin ex- pressed confidence that the British government was coming closer to an understanding of the reasons why France is adoping to firm position against Germany's Rhineland reoc- cupation.
 It was learned that Premier Albert Sarraut in the name of the cabinet put pressure on Flandin and Min ister of State Paul-Boncour to speed up league council juridicial action in declaring Germany guilty of treaty violation.
 Paul-Boncour telephoned Sarraut for Flandin, explaining that prog ress must necessarily be slow. Sar- raut has complicated Flandin's po- sition by his two speeches to the country yesterday, insisting that there must be no negotiation at all with Germany before the Rhineland is evacuated. Some French circles here predicted cabinet changes be- cause of this unqualified stand.
 Flandin Will Quit
 Flandin left no doubt of the firm ness of his own position as regards Germany's attitude. T will leave London and the league meeting rather than discuss Hltler's plan on his present terms" Flandin told the United Press. T came to London to attend a meeting of the council at which formal notice would be taken of German violation of treaties-not to enter into negotiations. If they try to force me into negotiations on Germany's conditions I'll leave Lon- don.
 Hitler, Rest of World
 "Hitler's insistence that his peace offer be considered regardless of any other factors makes the situation one of conflict not between France and Germany but between Hitler and the rest of the world-whethe Hitler makes laws for the world to conform to the needs of the German people or whether the world contin- ues to function by international law"
 It was learned that he intends to ask-in the absence of any com- promise that may yet be worked out that the league council proceed with @ program of penalties under the resolution which was adopted in April, 1895, asserting that treaty N- olations ought to be punished by H. nancial and economic penalties.

 Berlin, March 16-(UP)-Ger- many's conditional agreement to participate in league council discus sions on the Rhineland crisis did not demand consideration forthwith" of Adolf Hitler's peace plan, 1t was said authoritatively today.
 Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler's rowing ambassador and adviser on international relations, was waiting to rush to London if Germany's of- fer was accepted, 1t was learned.
 Ribbentrop is ready to leave at once if. formula for German ac- ceptance is found.
 Hitler Will Speak N
 As the government awaited official news from London, Hitler, preparing for a speech at Frankfurt in the Rhineland tonight, marked the first anniversary of his compulsory mili- tary service decree by ordering new banners for the regular army throughout the country.
 The glorious past of the old army was ended by the events of 19l8," his order said. But the martial spirit, valiant and tried through the centuries, though it may be sup pressed during times of national misfortune, can never be conquered.
 May these banners be a token of that"
 Hitler left it to Gen. Werner von Blomberg, minister of war, to ar- range details of the presentation of banners.
 To Review Troops
 Blomberg will review troops at an army tattoo tonight in Hitler's honor at Frankfurt, just before the fuehr- CTS speech. In deference to the sensibilities of other nations during the present negotiations, Hitler can- celled plans for a big army demon- stration in celebration of the anni- versary of his first great blow at the Versailles treaty when he announced plans for the new army.
 The day was observed quietly here and elsewhere. but with much of the old army tradition apparent. In many parts of Berlin small detach- ments tramped along in the "reveille parade" to old Prussian marches. One garrison paraded through Un- der den Linden and the Friedrich strasse.
