Peace Farley Likely
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIIMS
scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

scripps-Howard Foreign Editor
PARIS, April Am epoch-mak-
ing European peace and arms limi-
tstion conference is not unlikely for
late spring or summer, despite I'M
acceptable features of Adolf Hitlers
proposals.
Britain is using all the diplomatic
pressure possible at this end in the
hope that existing differences can
be ironed out. Her argument is that
Germany must be brought into a
system of European peace and arms
limitation pacts at almost any cost.
AS the alternate she sees intensive,
uncontrolled armament and cease
less pickering. ending in certain con-
flict.
There Is no use trying to prevent
Germany doing anything she wants
on her own soil, London holds. The
only way to prevent her would be
to fight.
Fear Loss of Faith
The French thesis is that to back
down before Hitler'S fait accompli
would destroy all faith in present
or future treaties-and, therefore, in
collective peace.
The British position is that Ger
many apparently intends to refortify
the Rhineland under any circum-
stances. Germany already has %
airdromes in the forbidden zone,
and these are now being improved.
They are less than two hours flying
time from London and Paris for
the slowest bombers.
The question is: Shall Germany
proceed as lone wolf, outside any
and all control, or shall she be
brought within international regula-
ton along with others?
Impressed by Air Proposal
Britain is particularly impressed
by Hitler's proposed air pacts. She
is convinced that network of mu-
tual non-aggression and mutual
e1d pacts, backed by an aerial Lo-
carno and an agreement to limit
arms, would come nearer giving
Europe comparative security than
anything yet devised.
She points out that Germany
might indeed bomb Paris or London
within two hours. but that if she
did so her cities would forthwith
find themselves under British.
French, Belgian, Polish, Russian
and Czechoslovakian bombs.
Such is understood to be the gen.
eral tenor of London's argument.
Meantime. Britain is assuring
France and Belgium of full military
support in line with the existing
Locarno commitments in the event
of aggression before new pacts are
concluded.

INJUNCTION IS HIT
Radio Station Asks Supreme
Court Review of 18-Hour
News Broadcast Ban.
BY the Associated Press.


The Supreme Court was asked yes
terday to review an injunction granted
by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
enjoining Radio Station KVOS at
Bellingham, Wash, from broadcast
ing Associated Press news until Is
hours after publication.
An appeal filed by the radio station
asserted "the Circuit Court has erro-
neously and improvidently usurped the
functions of Congress" in granting the
temporary restraining order.
Newspapers" its petition said, "are
entitled to protection up to the time
of publication, but no longer; they are
entitled to protection as long as news
events remain confidential and within
their own circle, as against competitive
news gathering agencies and others,
but never past the point of publication,
and in no case, after distribution and
sale"
The litigation was started by the
Associated Press, which contended the
radio station was "pirating' news dis
patches from the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer, the Seattle Times and the
Bellingham Herald, all Associated Press
members.
The Federal District Court for West
ern Washington dismissed the press
associations bill of complaint, but was
reversed by the appellate court.
The Supreme Court probably will
announce within a month whether II
will review the controversy. If it will
not pass on the injunction, the action
Of the Court of Appeals will remain
In effect If a review is granted, ar
guments will be heard during the term
beginning next october, with a final
decision a few weeks later.
