of Great Britain and France,

the greatest war scare since the

But barring unforeseen develop

that despite the gravity Of the sit

result in a major war was remote.
The chief reason for this conf

England nor France will go to war

eventual European upheaval.
Hitler's coup altered the diplo-
matte equilibrium Of Europe and
Is likely to have number of far
reaching results. Coming just at
the moment when Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain Of Great Bril-
tain has embarked upon a policy
of rcapproachment with the die
tatorial countries, Hitler's action
deals body blow to Chamber
lain'S scheme for continental APP
pcaSemcnt.
The reaction in Britain as evil
dcnccd by the press is so bitter
that Chamberlain will scarcely
dare, even if he is 50 inclined af-
ter Hitler's defiance Of Britain's
protests against the ending of
Austrian independence, to pro-
coed with his IDEAL with dictators"
policy.
Thus Britain and France are
certain to be impelled to even
closer cooperation in the diploma
tic field.
Mussolini must be chagrined by
Austrian developments. 1t is high
ly significant that the Italian
press, always under the thumb Of
the government, for the first time
since the formation Of the Berlin
Rome axis, failed today to fully
and promptly endorse any inter-
national diplomatic action under
taken by Germany. Well inform
ed sources in Rome detected other
evidences that Mussolini had been
taken aback by Hitler's aggressive
policy toward Austria.
In view Of this development, it's
in the cards that Chamberlain will
now make strong effort to break
the Berlin-Rome axis or badly
bend it by seeking a broad reap
proachement with Mussolini.
