BY EBERT d. THOMAS,


Hitler's way may not be our way,
but with all feelings aside, in the
light of historical past and present
circumstances, let us appraiSe his
latest act and words. Assuming that
peaceful processes through some rec
ognized international control are bet
ter for the world than warlike acts,
we may Judge what has happened in
terms of the good and the bad. In
this we are justified, for war is a
thing of concern to the whole world.
l. Hitler asserts that the French
Russian agreement ends the Locarno
pact. In a sense he is right Russia
In Europe, as in Asia, was outside the
collective action scheme. Russia s
entrance into the League, therefore,
gave her, comparatively speaking, in
relation to both Germany and Japan,
certain advantages, without corre-
spending obligations, thus. Hitler uses
the same excuse which Japan implied
when she denounced the Washington
conference treaties. This should lead
to readjustments with Russia as a
party to the new agreements. That
will be gain for world peace.
May End Self-Pity.
2. If the symbolic" march into the
Rhineland is merely what Hitler says
it is, it will end Germany's long as
sertion of unfair treatment. This
will be good. A nation that feels
injured never thinks straight about
itself or its neighbors. If the sym
bolic" march is maneuver for a
position from which to begin new
demands it is bad for world peace.
3. Germany's readiness to re-enter
the League is good.
4. The suggestion. of 25-year nom
aggression pact, if viewed in the
light of a continuation OF the spirit
of Locarno, with Russia as a party
to the negotiation and to the pact,
the results will be good. Especially
will this be the case If such pact
is also concluded with Lithuania.
S. Germany's readiness to establish
with France and Belgium mutual de-
militarized zones seems harmless, but
it is the most dangerous of all the
proposals, because there is in it a chal-
lenge to French security. France suf-
fers from the "jitters" whenever her
security is mentioned. This proposal
is very bad for world peace. The
quicker it is forgotten. the better.
Air Defense Sanctions.
6. The recommendation for an air
defense treaty, on the basis of joint
collective action against the aggres-
Sor, is a suggestion of sanction OF
the harshest kind. When we note the
difficulty of the enforcement of mild
sanctions, We wonder about the harsh
ones. A universal league may be the
first essential to success of that pro-
posal. If sanctions succeed against
Italy and the worlds non-recognitior
against Japan in regard to Man.
chukuo, and if Russia and Germany
are both in the League, and if Italy
remains in. that proposal may become
the stepping stone to an international
peace force concerning which so many
have dreamed. Personally. l think
that ultimate peace must rest on NOR
ais and not on force. therefore I am
not enthusiastic over this suggestion
z. Hitler's discovery that woodrow
Wilson was Germany's greatest well
wisher is good The effect of this will
be clearer thinking and less i'll feeling
on both sides of the Atlantic.

present governmental regime is for

ing meeting of the League of Nations

understanding about our position as

tackled"
AS Eden made this declaration. the
House of Commons was silent. Every
member and every other spectator
leaned forward. straining to hear
every syllable of the pronouncement.
Precedes Arms Debate.
Eden's address preceded two-day
debate on Britain,s rearmament. with
the government gravely concerned over
Germany's unilateral denunciation of
the Locarno pact, but at the same
time noting the pacific offers Hitler
made last Saturday in his ReichStag
address and his memorandum to for
eign powers.
The British government already had
informed the Reich that it took a grave
attitude toward Hitler's abrogation of
the Locarno pact and the military
clauses of the Versailles treaty by
sending his troops TO the left bank of
the Rhine.
Fighting Services Unworried.
With Britain bending its every effort
to peace rather than war. however.
military experts said the British fight
ing services were unworried over the
fresh crisis.
The battle cruiser Hood was reported
sailing today from Gibraltar for an
unannounced destination and the
cruiser Diomede was due to return
from the western entrance to the
Mediterranean. but all was quiet at
the Portland home feet base.
A war Office official said, 1.-The war
department is proceeding as usual"
The Rhineland developments figured
prominently, however. in the forth
coming defense debate during which
Baldwin-seeking q vote of confidence
for his governments policy of in
creased national defenses-was ex-
pected to refer to Hitler's denunciation
Of Locsrno and its repercussions.
The Laborite. c. R. Attlee, leading
the opposition, was expected to use
Hitler's proposals for a new security
system as justification for a more
pacific policy.
News posters, proclaiming in heavy
type. lit must not be war" seemed to
typify the view of the average Briton,
who appeared little disturbed by the
sensational events across the channel.
The press united in stressing the
need for calm, condemned Germany's
action, but pointed out that there was
little danger of war If sane views pre-
dominated.

 While it can never be known ex- actly what caused the wreck it IS believed that Denny took the wrang tuIn and missed the passage which can be negotiated by those faniil :. far with the water there, hitting Nesbitt reef, where many boats have struck and been pounded to pieces during past years. Most of the gasboat men avoid the reef by steering a course outside the angle of the reef and do not attempt the passage, even though their boat is small enough to make it safely.
 Ali Peterson, who has known Denny since 1921, states that he was 36 years old. He enlisted in the World War and served part of his time at St. Michael, Alaska, where he remained until 1921, He spent winter trapping on the Little Susitua river and in 1929 came to Southeastern Alaska, liv- ing first at Ketchikan and then at Wrangell and Cape Pole.
 Mr. Denny is described as a very likeable young man, popular with those who knew him He was of tn adveDturesome nature and took keen pleasure in battling difficult situations. He is survived by his parents and two sisters at Winfield, Kansas.
