[ preaching her. The alternative was league action against Germany when the council meets tomorrow.
 Frances hand was strengthened hourly as league council delegates of nations allied with her added their voices to her angry protests of German treaty violation.
 Important British conservative leaders urged firm government sup port of France.
 Ready for Emergency
 All British cabinet members can celled week end engagements to re- main in London ready for an emer- gency meeting if the necessity arose.
 Secret reports from Germany added to the anxiety of delegates. The opinion was growing that F'uehrer Adolf Hitler intended ulti- mately to increase his military strength in the Rhineland-already estimated at 6O,00O--and to start building Qualifications.
 A meeting of Q subcommittee of the four powers left in the Locarno framework since Germany stepped out-Britain, France, Italy and Bel- gium-met at 1l:30 a. m. (6:30 a. m. EST) to discuss informally proce- dure to be recommended to the league council.
 Stanley Bruce of Australia, presi- dent of the council, conferred in- dividually with council members
 Others to Meet
 Latin American council members Argentina, Chile and Ecuador planned a meeting to agree on joint action.
 As soon as substantial progress was made, 1t was understood that the Locarno subcommittee would call a full four-power meeting to recom- mend action at the session of the council at Il Q. m. tomorrow at St. James's palace.
 A plan to postpone this meeting until Monday or Tuesday was aban- doned because of Germany's refusal to concede an inch.
 Germany has threatened that even if she is but formally condemned for violation of the Locarno and Ver- sailles treaties, she will withdraw the peace plan which she offered while her troops marched into the Rhine- land, and continue the policy of iso- lation she has pursued during Adolf Hitler's three years in power.
 Speech of Hitler
 The speech of Adolf Hitler at Karlsruhe last night contained peaceable sentiments, but in that, in the rebuff of the British appeal for conciliatory action, in the long declaration" issued by the German official news bureau, there was noth- ing on which to base an effort at compromise. Added to all this was the speech made at Loenigsberg, East Prussia, by Gen. Hermann Goering, air minister, premier of Prussia and president of the Reichstag. While Hitler was talking of the possibility of an European agreement, he said:
 German soldiers will remain standing where they are today. The Rhineland occupation is not dis putable fact. The military tramp to Berlin is no longer possible either on land or through the air. We are strong enough to resist successfully every attack by land, and our sol- diers of the air are steeled by the spirit of Richtofen."
 Richtofen was the great German war ace. Goering, a World war hero himself, succeeded Richtofen in command of his squadron.
 Whatever good the Locarno dele gates found in Hitler's speech, was offset by Goering's.
