France Did Nothing
The patchwork quilting of
events began on that blustery
March 7, 1886, when Hitler's
troops marched into the forbidden
Rhineland and tore up the YER
sailles treaty. According to ma
tural law, France should have
pushed them back. But, oddly
enough, nothing happened.
Mussolini steamed right under
the nose of the British lion guard
ing the Suez, and took Ethiopia.
Nothing happened, except a fiz-
zling League of Nations boycott.
From then on out, it has been a
case of one entangling event after
another, with nobody combing
hard enough and fast enough to
untangle the matter skeins of his
tory.
A fellow by the name of Franco
started a one-horse revolt against
the Spanish government. In no
time he had run his stake into a
civil war with most of Spain in
his power.
His nationalist army, and the
army of the opposing loyalist
provinces, were backed by the
war machines troops and brains
of the other armies of Europe
Germans, Italians, Russians,
Frenchmen, even Englishmen.
Then Hitler took over Austria.
That, the experts will tell you,
was the adventure that jerked
Europe's tangled diplomacy into
a. hard knot.
The Dizzy Whirl
1t was simply time to take a
breather and look to the loose
ends. Since that spring day this
year, the nations Of Europe have
been trying to reach a trial bal
ance, weighing their chances in a
possible war. That's the ledger
the experts are using when they
figure the odds against war at 6
to 4. On the one hand are the
reasons why war should break
out any minute; on the other, the
amber lights of caution.
Reasons for unrest:
Germany regards her destiny
as the domination of Central
and Southeastern Europe from
the Rhine to Constantinople. 1t
lured her into the World war, and
it has Hitler and the German peo-
pie hypnotized again. The quick
est path to power lies through
stubborn Czechoslovakia, that
war-created state of many ma
tionalities. Backed by treaties
with France and Russia, the little
republic is ready to fight.
Germany has modified a mil
lion men in trial maneuvcrs to
test her strength, increasing the
filters throughout Europe, and
furnishing the kind of excitement
that leads to war. ~. "A.
The French cabinet has risked
a labor revolt by talking about
scrapping the !. 40-hour week.
"War-like conflicts are the pre-
dominating concern of peoples

arguing that France must go back
