BY ANTHONY LANE.


BERLIN, October 10.-German gov
ernment spokesmen are persuaded that
in q very short time-perhaps within
weeks-an agreement will be reached
with the Allied powers to restore some
of Germany's former colonies to her,
or to grant her other colonial terri
tories. .--.
In return for such concessions Ger
many, it is declared, will be ready to
resume her place in the League of
Nations and to enter into new peace
agreements that might even include
guarantees toward Soviet Russia.
It has ben known that converse
tions on this subject have been going
on among diplomats Of the various
countries concerned for . long, time,
and that within recent weeks there
have been indications from more than
one source that they showed promise
Of getting somewhere.
Return to Geneva Sought.
Both England and France are ex-
tremely eager to have Germany back
in the League Of Nations, and the
fact that Italy, in spite Of the "af-
front" given her In Geneva when the
Ethiopian delegation was seated, has
refrained from resigning from the
Geneva body, doubtless In the belief
that Germany will eventually return
to it. is another sign pointing In the
same direction. =
The great obstacle to an agreement
on the colonial problem, as it con-
Germs Germany. Is the reluctance Of
the powers to part with any Of their
colonies or mandates. This reluctance
is not mere selfishness. Transferring
. colonial territory from one SOW
ereignty TO another Il an extremely
delicate and complicated business On

opinion inclined to the side of Ger
many in this matter. That was in
March of this year.
In the Fall of last year public opin-
ion supported the pro-League, pro-
French group and led to the reversal
Of the Hoare-Laval policy of partition
ing Ethiopia. This same group in the
British cabinet has so far prevented
any open declaration in favor of re-
storing the former German colonies.
But that is not to say that the more
powerful group, with its dominating
inner circle in the cabinet, has not
made this privy understanding with
similar group in Germany.
Here is some. of the evidence.
There is a subtle change visible in
certain powerful organs of the press,
notably the London. Times, which
normally represents foreign Office
opinion. These organs of public
opinion" are becoming anti-Russian
and pro- German. They have done
all they can or dare to uphold the
position of Herr Schacht, the finan-
cial dictator in Berlin. Some of the
German arms have been made from
raw materials bought with British
money.
Naval Agreement.
Last year the admiralty-which for
generations has been the most power
full ministry in the British system,
and has frequently pursued its own
foreign policy-made the Anglo
German naval agreement behind the
back of the French government and,
for that matter, the American Gov
ernment. This was actually brought
about by Lord Monsell, one of the
closest and most intimate friends Of
Prime Minister Baldwin, for years
his chief whip, both in office and
in opposition, and at that time first
lord Of the admiralty. He has now
retired. but the tendency Of policy
remains.
At the Dardanelles conference at
Montreux last Summer, the British
delegation fought hard and single
handed for the right of entry into
the Black Sea for q hostile fleet In
time of war. This right would have
advantaged Germany more than any
other nation; and Germany was not
even party to the negotiations. The
British were opposed by the delega-
tions of France, Russia, Turkey and
Rumania, the three latter the Black
Sea httoral powers. So far as the
British attitude was concerned, the
League of Nations might not have
been In existence at all. Eventually,
the British delegation had to give
way; but not before 1t had exposed

the strength Of q mandate, for ex-
ample, natives of the inundated coun-
try have settled there as colonists,
investing their money in land, cattle,
etc. Business firms have established
themselves. capital has developed
natural resources.
In addition to this a civil admin
istration has been built up by the
inundated power and. a military
establishment also. But all these in
stitutions do not constitute the hard
est part Of the problem. There are
also the local populations to be con-
sidered.
Problem Of Natives.
For many reasons connected WIN
Germany's past as q colonizing power,
there are few places where the ma
ttves want German rule. There have
been plenty Of abuses committed by
England and France against their
colonial subjects In the past, but, on
the whole, they have both developed
humane and progressive colonial ad-
ministration. In some cases large
measures Of home rule have been
granted.
Neither England nor France can
very easily say to . subject people:
We have decided to use you as cur
rency with which to buy Germany's
good win. Henceforth you will owe
allegiance to Hitler instead Of to King
Edward or the French Republic" II
that were attempted, serious resistance
would probably result In many cases.
In other words, there viii have to be
consent on the part Of. the natives be-
fore any such deal can be put through.
And, In addition, there will have to
be compensation for colonists who

in efficiency, power and, above all,
numbers of the airplanes available to
attack her have altered the whole
position Britain feels herself threat
ened also in the Pacific by an aggres-
sive, clever and deSpotically ruled
Japan, pursuing a settled plan which
will lead her to the Malay States,
under British protection, and thus to
the gates of India. So much for
strategy.
But the governing classes in Britain
society, finance, the upper class
generally-are terribly afraid Of what
they call communism. In the eyes of
these affrightened people the present
French government and the Spanish
Loyalists are communist as much as
Russia is.
Half the British aristocracy and their
followers and the "City"-the Wall
Street of London-are strongly pro-
German because of the supposed men,
ace of Communism. There are other
forces at work also. On the whole,
German influence in Britain is in the
ascendant.
The result of all these pressures and
counter-pressures is that there is q
split in the British cabinet on the
most important question of policy Of
the day. There is section, roughly
corresponding to the innei circle
around the prime minister, which
would make terms with Germany and
buy peace at any price. The other
section believes that it Is impossible to
satisfy Germany in any case. This
section still believes in the traditional
British policy, pursued consistently for
four centuries, of maintaining the bal
ance of power in Europe-that is, OF
always supporting q combination
against any strong nation seeking
hegemony. In its present-day mani
festation, balance Of power" means
working with and strengthening the
League Of Nations.
Pro-French Section.
This section, which I may for con-
venience call the pro-French section,
believes that it is representing the ma
jority of the British voters in support
ing the League. In this contest be-.
tween the two groups sometimes the
intentions Of one group prevail; some
times the other.
The breach of the freely entered into
Locarno treaty, when German troops
reoccupied the demilitarized Rhineland
zone, drove q wedge between the Brit
ish and French foreign offices.
Britain sought to condone the breach
of treaty, France to condemn it and
force the withdrawal Of the German
troops. No section Of the British cabi-
net or government was privy to the
German breach Of treaty, but Herr
Hitler and his advisers were wen ad-
vised Of the probable British action.
