Officials Declare.

BERLIN, March 3.-Authoritati tive
quarters today confirmed that the Rev.
Martin Niemoeller, vigorous opponent
OF Nazi church policies. had been ar
rested last night Immediately after his
release from jail.
The pastor was given technical
freedom after conviction Of speaking
against government leaders and vio-
lating pulpit regulations.
1t was explained authoritatively,
however, that it was necessary to place
the Protestant pastor in protective
arrest" because there is considerabl
public excitement over the lenient
sentence Of the court with every likeli-
hood that demonstrations against him
would occur"
Foreign observers noticed no partic-
ular excitement among the populace
yesterday-except among members of
Mr.. Niemoeller's congregation-but it
was soon apparent that the verdict had
aroused irritation In Nazi circles.
There was some likelihood that Nasi
groups. with or without official en-
couragement. might have reacted vio-

NAz|S IN AUSTRIA
!. Warned BY CHIEF
Seysz-Inquart Advocates
Peaceful Spread of
Hitler Doctrine.
By the Associated Press.

VIENNA, March 3.--Austrias Hit
ler-approved minister Of the interior,
Arthur seysz- z-Inquart, urged Nazis to-
day to work peacefully and legally TO-
Naziflcation of the country.
Violence must be avoided, he ad-
monished.
Rather than insist now upon recog-
milton as members of legal political
party. eysz-Inquart advised the Nazis
to work for their program within the
framework of the Fatherland Front
the only political group acknowledged
by Chancellor Schuschnigg.
Germany'S Fuehrer Hitler, who ap-
proved his entrance into the Austrian
cabinet and received him In Berlin
Immediately thereafter. counseled him
ito take the National Socialist course
in easy stages" Seysz-Inquart said
today.
Hopes for Workable Compromise.
Returning from Gratz, Styria pro-
vincial capital and hotbed of Aus
trian Nazidom. Seysz-Inquart ex-
pressed hope there soon would be a
workable compromise between the
Nazis and the Fatherland Front.
He apparently satisfied demands Of
the moderate Nationalists during a
round of conferences in Graz, after
Nazi demonstrations there and jam
boree, for which the army was called
out to preserve order.
The more radical Nazis, who de-
mand political union with Germany
right away, were not. however, so we'll
pleased with the counsel to modera-
ton.
Takes Middle Road Course.
Seysz-Inquart, nevertheless. seemed
to think he had struck out on a mic-
die road, by which he was true to his
responsibility both to Germany and
Austria.
Asked whether such diverse ele-
ments as the extreme Nazis and rigid
clericals could cooperate inside the
Fatherland Front, Seysz- Inquart said:
Il hope so.
1--WE do not propose to start in 4
fighting mood.
AT the beginning we will not touch
problems on which we differ from
other factions in the Front.
I'VE will tackle problems in which
we have 4 common interest, and Ger
man culture offers many such pos
Sibilities"
Demands Of Leader at Graz.
The Graz Nazi leader, Dad;eu, ac-
companied the interior minister to
Vienna to press for concessions to the
Syrian Nazis. Chief Of his demands
are insistence that Nazis be given
public posts in proportion to their
strength. that the police militia be
permitted to join Nazi organizations
and that youth movement be estab-
lished.
Seysz-Inquart, during his confer
ences in Graz, granted Nazis permis-
sion to wear swastika enblems in
schools and public Offices
Issuing strict orders for discipline,
he said:
II have found overwhelming en-
thusiasm in Styria Province and
also know by now that my orders will

BRITAIN INCREASES
ARMS FUND AGAIN
Announces 23 Pct. Boost
in Army Appropriation
for Coming Year.
Ey the Associated Press,

Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 3.-Great Britain
today handed her potential enemies
abroad-and her taxpayers at home
another jolt by announcing a 70 per
cent increase in army appropriations
for the coming year.
The army's share this year in Brit
aims colossal fve-year rearmament
plan will be f1O6, 10000 or 1892, ,5o0,.
600. an increase of $l21, $50, 900 over
the previous year.
Estimates for the air force announced
yesterday called for $557.510Ooo to be
spent in the fiscal year beginning
April l, the second of Britain's $780,
600, 900 f1ve-year rearmament program
Original Sum Held Insufficient.
The government. in an official re-
port yesterday, said this $500, 100000
would not be enough in view OF the
epidemic of wars and higher costs re-
sulting from continuous development
OF modern armament"
The admiralty will present its esti-
mates for the navy tomorrow.
Because of the vast expenditures the
British people face the prospect of new
and increased taxes.
The difficulties Britain is having in
recruiting man power for the huge
war machine was reflected in today'e
memorandum by War Minister Leslie
Hore-Belisha.
His report placed the strength of
the regular army at 10000, compared
with 1853 900 in 1887
f83,843 in Actual Service.
It showed total of 483,843 men in
actual service or receiving some form
OF training.
In addition to the regular army,
this total includes: An army re-
serve-men who have spent five years
in actual service and are subject to
call If needed-of about 100000;
supplementary reserve of $4,000; a
territorial army-corresponding to
Americas National Guard-of 158,843
which showed an increase of 1880
during the year.
Analysis of the defense figures, to
be debated in Parliament on Monday
with a government majority almost
certainly assuring their acceptance,
indicated that Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Sir John Simon may have to
provide for 100000 new revenue
when he presents the 1s38-39 budget
next month.
Last Years Defense Cost.
Defense costs last year were 81 $780,
100000, The estimate for this year is
$1,758, 100000.
The government intends to borrow
about $450,O00,0O0 this year, as
against s40O00O,00O last year, but
there still remains about $275 5,O00, 900
to be raised.
Income tax collections currently
are 13 per cent ahead of a year ago
and the new national defense tax on
business probably will yield about
$100. 100000 next year.
Both gains, however. are expected
to be absorbed by mounting armament
and civil government costs.
While some financial experts
thought the government might get
along in 1889 without new taxes,
they said higher assessments surely
would be needed i'm 1939-40, when
rearmament expenditures are to reach
their peak
