what the Versailles treaty calls "a
hostile act" by sending troops into
the "demilitarized" Rhineland
Official sources were assured that
the Germany Army was taking up
positions at Coblenz, Mainz, Cologne
and Frankfort, where allied soldiers
were garrisoned for the seven years
following the World War.

Such action is specifically prohib-
tied by the Locarno treaty.
Germany's reputation Of the de-
militarized zone wrecks the last of
the military clauses of the Versailles
treaty. the others having been re-
pudiated by Hitler when he re-estab-
lshed compulsory military service,
rebuilt an air corps, and constructed
new submarines-all acts prohibited
by the Versailles convention.
French military experts said the
French Army already is outnumbered
by that of Germany. They said France
had 100000 in military service, but
that only 100000 of them were in
France, while they estimated the Ger
man Army at 100000 men.

military class would not be called to

any of the recently demobilized

The government asked that Ger
troops would go into the $50 miles of
fortification along the German from
tier on full war footing.
Not only were the Notifications be-
ing filled, but the gaps between the
famous steel and cement pill boxes
were being filled with troops.
A government spokesman said Ger
many's occupation of the zone was
not simply symbolic" and that Ger
many's forces in the Rhineland were
equal to those on the French side of
the frontier.
Await Formal Pr0nouncement.
The spokesman said its military
measures would not be increased "un-
til after the League Council shall
have formally pronounced Germany's
violation of the treaty"
French officials said the word "ut-
most" meant everything that the
League and the Locarno treaty sigma

were found necessary after all other
means failed.
The government announced the

1t was announced that Premier Sar-

case be presented to the League Coun-
Gil as a violation Of the Locarno and
Versailles treaties.
The leaves of all members of the
army were cancelled and the soldiers
were ordered to report to their posts
at once.
Foreign Minister Flandin told Great
Britain, Belgium and italy as CO.
signatories of Locarno, that Reichs-
feuhrer Hitler had violated that treaty.
He made this declaration through
the three nations ambassadors to
Paris and asked them to submit 1t
Immediately to their respective gov

Hitler Held Double Dealer"
Flandin accused Hitler of double
dealing" in promising on March 2
that he would negotiate treaty of
friendship with France, and then an
nouncing the Locarno denunciation

The foreign minister said Francois
Poncet, French Ambassador to Berlin,

made of the best way to insure

George Lansbury. former parlia-

statesman of importance to comment
on the German actions, declared: mo

The hub of European diplomacy to-
night was Paris, where constant pro-
cession of diplomats called on Foreign
Minister Flandin.
The man in the street there ap-
peared to be unalarmed, despite the
cancellation of army leaves. No DEM
onstrations were reported anywhere in
France, even on the eastern frontier,
where the population could look across
the border and almost see the march
of the forbidden German troops.

Italians Are Elated.
The average Italian was reported to
be elated, although Germany's offer
to re-enter the League when Musso-

astonishment and confusion.
The Netherlands government, it was

to Hitler's proposal for a 25-year non-

a few foreign workers have returned

LONDON, March 7.-Neutral diplo-
matte circles, after a careful study
of Adolf Hitler's memorandum, be-
lieved the situation created today by
the German remilitarization of the
Rhineland Is far from desperate If
France remains calm and does not
demand forceful action.
This is no time, diplomats agreed,
for snap decisions.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden dis
cussed the situation at the prime min
ister's country residence after Eden
had talked over Hitler's bold move
with the French and Italian Ambassa-
dors and the Belgian charge d'affaires.
Attempting to set an example by
avoiding snap judgments. the cabinet
put oil its meeting until Monday.
Britain Unprepared.
Military observers generally agreed
Hitler's action came at a moment EN-
barrassing to Britain, automatically
and militarily, because of the Italo-
Ethiopian precautions.
With about ITS war craft in and
near the Mediterranean, together with
between 800 and 400 airplanes and
between 10000 and 10000 troops in
Egypt, Britain Is in poor condition
to assert its voice in Western European
affairs, observers believed.
If any OF these ships, planes and
troops were withdrawn, 1t would likely
give Mussolini freer hand in Ethiopia
and perhaps endanger the vital Suez
Canal Link to the Far East.

pressed the belief that Hitler's speech
would find a sympathetic audience
in Japan, since Toxic shares Berlins
dislike for the Franco-Soviet pact of
mutual military assistance.
Geneva was understood to see both
tion, which was considered as throw
ing down the gantlet to France and
Britain, but nevertheless partially rec
onciling both by putting forward
peace proposals.
The importance Of next weeks
League Council meeting to consider
oil sanctions against Italy faded into
the background because of the grave
threat Of trouble in the heart of
Europe.
Officials throughout Europe appear
ed to have taken the cue from Hitler's
own exhortation to avoid snap judg-
ment and were trying to keep the
flame from reaching the powder keg.
It was generally admitted that Hit
ler's abrogation of the Locarno pact
and his remilitarization of the Rhine
land was executed at the most oppor-
tune moment from his viewpoint.
Although Europe has known for
long time that Gemany's move in the
Rhineland was only a question of
time, British authorities have pro-
fessed to believe up to the final mo-
ment that it would be put of for few
months, at least until after the Olym-
pic games were over.
Some London observers felt that
Frances decision to appeal to the
League for support of the Locarno
pact was the sanest way out.

thoughts of millions of British in his
