LONDON, April 12.-By throw,
ing off the Versailles Treaty
straight,iacket, Germany has re-
aligned Europe into a new politi'
cal and economic triangle.
European nations may be
roughly classified into three
groups: ro-German; pro-Russian;
and democratic; with overlapping
tendencies in certain places.
Britain and France are the
economic and political leaders OF
the democratic group which in
cludes Holland, Switzerland, Bel
GUM, Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and Finland. They preach q
common economic policy-reduc-
ton Of trade barriers, and there
is q monetary agreement among
five Of them.
~. HitIer's Aims
Germany, Italy. Hungary and
Austria, plus outlying Japan, form
the core of the current German
bloc.
Poland and the Little Entente
(Rurnania, Jugoslavia and Czecho.
Slovakia) fall within the orbit OF
French influence through their
military alliances, although Poland
and Jugoslavia are flirting respec'
lively with Germany and Italy.
Hitler's foreign policy includes
the following major aim:
To break up the Russian-French
military pact.
To win Britain and the rest OF
Europe into a united front against
BolSheviSm.
To encourage the neutrality OF
England in case Of q European
war.
To wean Poland away from
France.
To split UP the Little Entente.
Political Equality
In the last year, Hitler has re-
gained political equality in Europe
due to his rapidly built new wal
machine.
Hitler's most apparent diplo
matte success was the German
understanding for a European set
Element reached with MusSolin1.
However, Germany'S under
standing with Italy and Japan
has caused Britain to draw closer
to France than any time since the
World war. England is now tied
up with France through the none
tary agreement, has loaned $780,
100000 to French railroads; and
stands guarantor Of French terri
tory against aggression.
The major colonial awards url-
der the Versailles Treaty went to
Britain and France and Italy
moved out of the land-poor class
with her seizure Of Abyssinia.
Germany Left Out
Nazi leaders assert Germany is
left as the only great European
power without colonial suburbs.
In Germany's persistent cry for
restoration of her colonies, the
matter of prestige is therefore
strongly linked with her economic
arguments.
Germany says if she isn't given
room to expand and secure &C
cess to raw materials through
restoration of her colonies, she
must explode.
British and French appear more
willing to discuss economic con-
cessions rather than outright
gifts of territory. They are bas.
ing their hopes for a European
settlement mainly on the econ

UNFURN. HOUSE
Yuma st. N. W.
Personally have Spring fever
in the worst way; want to get
out, dig in the garden, Snooze in
the sun and do all those entic1ng
things. but it can't be done, so
the next best thing I can do is
to help you find a place to do
the things you want to do. Here
is a house that combines all the
livable features you want at a
price the average family can
stand. 1t has a yard where you
can putter around; is detached,
and the rental is only $50. There
are three larger than average bed
rooms, a glass-encloSed sleeping
porch, a well-proportioned living
and dining room, and a complete
kitchen, bath and lavatory. TAX
ing into consideration its many
possibilities for real living and
the fact it is located in an ex-
elusive yet convenient neighbor-
hood, I feel very secure in recon-
mending this as an outstanding
find.
GIRLS CLUB, DOWNTOWN
The general idea of this new
downtown guest house is to run
a girls club, catering to a group
of young women. The manage.
ment has fixed up the house in
an attractive manner. and has
furnished a large drawing room
where her guests can entertain
their friends as often as they wish.
All Of the rooms are huge, some
having three and four single BEDS
in them. The finest Of meals Will
be served, and the motto OF the
place is SERVICE"

AMELIA EARHART
 PUTNAM WAITS
Storms Have Prevented Her Take.Off on Flight
 Around World

Oakland, Calif., Marchy 16-(Up)
 Amelia Earhart Putnam was ready to the point of packing lunch and filling the thermos bottles for her flight around the world today but Q storm of the Pacific coast threat ened to delay her until Wednesday. Meteorologists said the storm would lift by tonight, but the probability of soggy runways plagued the woman flyer and the three men who will accompany her part of the way. Several soft spots had been re- paired, but an approaching storm may soak them again. The idea of taking the $oO,OOO plane to San Francisco and using the 3,OO0-foot paved runway there was abandoned. Start from Los Angeles
 George Putnam, the flyers hus- band, who is making the arrange. mentS, said 5000 feet was not enough. He said the start may be made from Los Angeles. Paul MintS, Miss Edrhart's technical adviser, was in Los Angeles today surveying the situation. Mintz will go as far as Honolulu, the first scheduled stop and 2,400 miles away. From there. only Captain Harry Manning, navi. gator, will be with her. He will leave Miss Earhart at Darwin, Australia, and from there she will continue alone on the 27,000-rnile trip around the earth at the equator and touch- ing every continent.

Boston, March 16--(UP) --Rela- tives of an elected city official, a school principal and & high-salaried city employe were among 50 un- worthy cases dropped from the well fare rolls since he assumed office a month ago, according to Welfare Director Patrick J. Moynihan.
 Elimination of the 50 cases saved the city $400 week. Moynihan told the city council late yesterday.
 The city cmploye, who received $4,6O0 a year. already has been forced to pay back $40 given his mother as old age assistance.
 The mother -in-law Of the elected official. receiving $2.00 On year from the city and $4,900 a year from the state, also has been dropped.
 The case in which the mother of a Brighton school principal receiv- ing $4,000 year was given old age assistance was described by Moyni- han as 'paipably wrong and one which never should have been on the welfare rolls"

TOWNSEND TEST
 MAY BE SPOILED

Greenfield, Mass, March l6- (UP)--Souvenir collectors may spoil the casts first Townsend test, Greenfield Townsendites feared to- day.
 Mrs. Carrie E. Saben has spent all but SLID of the $200 given her March l for 30-day test of pr. Francis E. Townsend's old-age re- volving pension plan.
 Each of the dollar bills bears a certificate asking that whenever it changes hands. the new holder pay a two-cent transaction tax to the club. Thus 1t was hoped to prove the feasibility of pr. Townsend's plan to finance his pensions by n two per cent transaction tax.
 The first weeks collection of $6.25 in taxes pleased Towiisendites, but when 1t was found yesterday that only 9S.Si had gone Into the tax box during the second week despite in- creased spending by Mrs. Saben, some Townsenditss feared souvenir hunters were taking the bills out of circulation.

Judge Finn in his memorandum of decision states that the defendants claim that the deceased was guilty of contributory negligence is not proven. that the man had crossed at the safest place in the district, and that he was not intoxicated.
 Cause of Accident Judge Finn contributes the cause of accident to Dechand's excessive speed and dim headlights. Accord ing to the memorandum, the speed was brought out by witness who testified the great distance Dechand travelled before stopping. Judge Finn comments that the road was well lighted. straight, and that the driv- CTS view was unobstructed. Even without headlights, he should have seen the man in the raod, accord ing to the decision.

 U. w., and Richard T. Franken- st. n, organizational director, hur- ricd Lere from Cleveland last night fo" a conference with Murphy. But tn / disappeared when the governor l.. icated that he would not come to 4. ctroit to meet with them until to- day. Both union officials had de- clare dthat their trip was made at Murpny's request, and that 1t was t.i ,ir understanding that confer- CT e was to have been held immcd- lately.
 The governo: was said to feel that Mnrtins presence was desirable ill l. ichigan because of the strikes th:t have crippled production &C., tiv,ties of Chry3ler, the Hudson Motor car company and the Rec M tor Car Company, and have forc- ed several feeder" concerns which re upon the larger companies for hl,-ness, to shut down.
 Murphy met with seven state and cornty law enforcement officers at Lansing to discuss permanent plcn for settling labor disputes. He declared that the state government would not be drawn into the ChryS- Ter dispute.
 Debate On Slt-Down
 Hartford, Conn, March l6- (UP) Both Gov. Prank Murphy, Mich iga:,, and the federal administration ws.e seen today by Prof. o. Glenn Saxon of Yale University as "opcn- ly fostering the illegal technique of the sit-down strike"
 Gov. Murphys refusal to evict General Motors sit-down strikers, Prof. Saxon said in debate with Dr. Hornell Hart of Hartford Scm- inarv' Foundation last night, was based on the fear of bloodshed.
 But there need be no bloodshcd in enforcing tho law" Saxon said. "A..lc2e need be only courage, the c c.uragc to obey the governors oath Ci office"
 D.. Hart, defending the sit-down strike, blamed them on the inter- lorking dictatorship of many corp orations, saying:
 "Thesc dynasts, these princes, the rgans, the DuPonts, the Fords, pass down their powers. They see it, by campaign contributions, by co..trol of means of shaping public opinion and by other methods, that the fundamental laws arc based on F operty rights.
 And the workers have seen all th ,sc things, and they have said: tho time has come for us to defend our rights, to use any and every rcanS available to attain a real de .,ocracy. We propose, If neces- say, to die in their defense.
 The sit-dowa strike is the re- sult."
