those German populations over
whom Der Fuehrer has proclaim
cd "protectorate."
Russia's interests were conferred
in Lithuania because under treaty
the Soviet has pledged its protee-
ton.
The developments made a deli
cate situation for Hitler. On the
one hand friendship with Poland
and support of any foreign politi-
cal action Poland may undertake
hitherto has been one of the
axioms of Nazis foreign policy. In
addition, Germanys' relations with
Lithuania have been decidedly UNI
satisfactory.
On the other side Germany can
not be Indifferent if the Memel
statute is modified without con-
sultation with the Reich.
FIGHT WOULD TEST
BERLlN.WARSAW AXIS
If an open conflict should
break out between Poland and
Lithuania the regulation of the
Memel question, it was believed,
would be a test for the so-called
Berlin-Warsaw axis almost the
same way as the Austrian issue
taxed the Berlin Prone axis.
In any event, it was said, to-
days decisions virtually will force
Hitler to take sides in the issue,
thus presenting him with a most
delicate problem.
Well-informed sources told the
United Press that in yesterdays
diplomatic conversations the gov
eminent told the other powers
that for 20 years all normal meth
DDS to induce Lithuania to restore
normal diplomatic relations with
Poland were fruitless.
As a result, it was added, the
! government felt that other mea-
| Sures were necessary.
