should support her, then they will be
drawn into backing that support, willy
nilly. For the new alliance is the most
formidable thing that this generation
has seen. 1t really amounts TO eStab-
fishing common army, common
command, and a common foreign
policy.
Some students of the situation be-
lieve that Britain will demand, in re-
turn for this, that France give up the
French Russian pact. But II the
French treaty with Czechoslovakia is
to stand and even be fortified, then
one cannot envisage France doing any
thing SO defeatiSt as abandoning her
agreement with Russia. And, perhaps
even more importantly. it is probable
that any French government which
proposed to do any such a thing would
face terrific revolt at home. The
French workingman believes in the
pact with Russia. And so does the
French Army
Would Unite Reich and Russia.
Furthermore. the abandonment of
the SOvietS by the Western powers
would almost certainly, sooner or
later, draw Russia and Germany to-
eether, and if that happened. with
the obliteration of the small Central
European powers, it would be a social
and theological event Of the first mag
nitude Then the Western world
would really have something to fear.
What the NaziS will do now is a
matter for speculation. Most observers
think that Germany Will certainly not
take on Czechoslovakia at the risk of
a European war First Of all, though
CZechoslovakia IS a small country OF
about Is million people, she has one
of the best armies on the continent for
its size. AS Winston Churchill recently
pointed out, it is almost twice as large
the British Army. Officially it has a
normal strength Of $4,000 men, but
for months past it has stood at around
a quarter million, and proba bly, three
million men could be quickly mobil-
lied It's equipment and material are
first-rate.
Czechoslovakia will be asked to make
every concession to the German mi
norities compatible with her national
honor If Czechoslovakia would
abandon the Russian-French alliances.
my guessS is that Mr.. Benes could have
the Sudeten Nazi leader Henleins head
on a German charger. But with
France prepared to stick to her guns,
that is unlikely. CZechoslovakia might
be either the Bosnia or the Serbia of
the next war, depending on how nearly
imminent it is.
Possibly Hitler may now turn his
eyes in another direction. Perhaps TO
Danzig. Perhaps to the Polish corri-
dor. 1t is not at all likely that the
tI2==55ians, at least. would defend
Poland. They might, some day, COL
laborate to divide her.

All in all, one cannot see that Hitler's
