BY MICHAEL WILSON

PARIS, March II Q.N.S0.-The
threat that France alone will try
to drive German troops out of
the Rhineland was implied today
in a declaration in the newspaper
Matin that the French Cabinet is
"in complete accord" on Foreign
Minister Pierre -Etienne Flandin's
threat to quit the League Council
if she receives no satisfaction in
London.
Moreover, Matin says forebod-
ingly, "in that case France will
take it upon herself to demand
respect for signatures"
Flandin is expected to return
to Paris Thursday. where he and
Premier Albert Sarraut will make
French policy during the last
crucial fortnight a question OF
confidence in the chamber Of
deputies.
Parliamentary elections were
set for April 26 and May 3,
when the government will ask
to be returned to power on the
basis of it's foreign as well as

ritory in the Rhineland no mat
ter what court orders 1t.
British Impressed
Nevertheless, Hitler'S speech re-
iterating a desire for peace and
his cancellation of military pa
radeS made good impression on
the British and increased their
desire to put his breach of the
Versailles treaty behind them and
get ahead with construction of a
new set of treaties which would
be unique in having Hitler's own
signature.
The British first want to get
Germany into the discussions and,
secondly, to bring Germany and
France to negotiate.
If Britain fails on the second
point, she has got one strong
trump for peace. 1t is suggested
now in responsible quarters that
Britain may arrange mutual Sc
curity pacts between herself,
France and Belgium on the one
hand and between herself and
Germany on the other, at the
same time trying to promote SINH
lar mutual security pactS between
Germany and her neighborS, in
cluding, Importantly, Austria, Lith-
uania and Czechoslovakia.
Basis For Agreement
Meanwhile, unless France
blocked it, Germany's return to
the League could lay basis for
bringing France and Germany to-
gether, particularly after their re-
Spective elections were over and
the passage of time had allayed
passions aroused by Hitler's sud-
den move into the Rhineland.
Considerations such as these led
to a general feeling today that at
any rate the present crisis now has
been advanced beyond the point
where, barring unforseeable in
cidents, war could be its outcome.

NEW YORK, August IA few spe-

stock market session, but most Of the
leaders slipped into fractional seclu-
sion.
The proceedings were generally aim
less throughout. The ranks of both
bulls and bears were decimated by an
exceptional number Of holiday absen-
tees and those who mustered up energy
enough to visit the board rooms
showed little inclination to step out
very far in either direction.
Earnings and dividend news contin-
ued to bolster market sentiment, al
though this failed to whet buying ap-
petite to any great extent. The Span
ish civil war apparently was still a
negligible influence.

the opening. Then the farm imple-
