LONDON, Nov. 3. (UP)-ltal-
ian and German anger against
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
as result of his warning to Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini to keep out
of the German colonial controver-
Sy, last night led to diplomatic
predictions that Germany is pre-
pairing - with Fascist support -
to repudiate the last shreds of
the Versailles treaty.
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler was un-
derstood to be considering repudi-
alton of the mandate system un-
der which her vast war-lost col
onies were distributed among VIC
toriouS Allied powers.
Many diplomats believed Hitler
would announce the reputation
before a special session of the
Reichstag and that Italy would
give official recognition to Ger
many's defiance.
Dispatches from Berlin said
Hitler probably would base his
reputation on a contention that
present administration of the for
mer German colonies un d e r
League of Nations mandates is
not legally valid.

JAPANESE NAMES
DIRECT TRUCE TERMS

BRUSSELS, Nov. 3.-(UP)--
Japan is willing to discuss peace
terms with China but will reject
any interference" by outside
powers, Saburo Kurusu, Japanese
ambassador to Belgium, said last
night on the eve Of the Far Eas-
tern peace conference.
Japan's terms for direct truce
with China, Kurusu said, contain
two "unalterable" conditions:
China must halt her anti
Japanese propaganda.
2-China must stamp out COM
munism.
The announcement appeared to
shatter hopes held by the dele
gates Of 19 nations attending the
conference that Japan might ulti-
mately be persuaded to consent to
an "armistice" plan which may
emerge from the Brussels delib-
erations.
Preliminary conversations last
night among Norman II. Davis,
leader of the United States dele
CATION heads revealed a general
agreement to concentrate on me-
diation efforts and avoid any SEM
blance of pressure against japan.
AS result, the conference prob
ably will send another invitation
to Japan later in the week after
the plenary speeches are out Of
the way.
Only the Chinese delegates OPP
posed further mediation efforts,
contending that nothing could be
accomplished along such lines un-
less Japan were represented III
the discussions.
Japan, the Chinese delegates as
serted, is in mo mood to consider
peace"

Nazi Reputation OF Last Shreds

ed Eden for the latter's attack on
Mussolini's' recent Fascist "birth-
day" speech in which II Duce as
serted that a lasting European
peace depended upon restoration
of the former German colonies in
Africa.
"Mr. Eden eventually will have
to put up with the existence OF
the Rome Berlin axis" the news
paper warned graphically.
The Italian press announced
that "Italy did not participate in
the division of the colonial booty
under the Versailles treaty" and
that "Italy does not possess even
a square inch of African land
that formerly belonged to Ger
many"
The Italian newspaper II Mat
tino said that Germany does not
want merely colonies =. she
wants the colonies that were ta-
ken away from her at Versailles.
Eden seems to have forgotten
that when the colonial booty was
divided, Italy obtained onl y
