These would mount 16 or 18-inch

prospect is the fact that
Czechoslovakia has but two
allies-France and the Soviet
Union. At this moment
France is suffering from
several internal divisions
while it feels itself increas-
ingly menaced by Italy, in
deed to such an extent that
pessimists doubt whether the
French army would move to
maintain treaty obligations
were Czechoslovakia at
tackled.
At the same time the Soviet
Union is now so threatened
by Japan that the Czechs
themselves do not await aid
from the red army. The posi-
tion therefore on the whole
is less favorable to Czech
defense than perhaps at any
time since the World War.
The present purge is fur
ther proof of Hitler's polit-
ical genius although the final
outcome cannot yet be fore
seen.
OLD ARMY DECEIVED
In June, 1884, Hitler with
the army wiped out his own
:brownshirts who had brought
him to power but under Cap
tain Ernst Roehm had be-
come ungovernable. Thereby
Hitler allied himself irrevo-
cably with the army whose
leaders, eminent am ong
whom was Won Fritsch, felt
they could always manage
the fuehrer.
They have now discovered
they we're just as wrong as
was Roehm who, however,

Of definite information Of Japan's
intentions. Britain addressed one
note to Tokyo without receiving
a reply.
In the American note today, the
offer is made to enter into a new
discussion on the upward limita-
ton to be placed on battleshipS.
Significantly, however, in view OF
Japan's prior reluctance to give
any information whatsoever on its
intentions, the date for a declarar
ton of intentions is placed at
February 20.

ing to follow the lead given
by the Fuerhrer without criti-
cism.
The position of those con-
servatives already had been
weakened twice. First, by
Hitler's reoccupation of the
Rhineland against the gen.
eral staff's advice, but with
such notable success he was
able to demonstrate he
knew far more than Prussian
army officers about how to
guide the Fatherland toward
glory.
HIT BY STAIN PURGE
Second, the general staff
was badly hit by Stains
execution of those very Red
army officers upon whom
German military leaders de-
pended for eventual achieve
ment of their hopes of unit
ing the military and eco
nomic resources of vast Rus
sia with potent Germany,
with the eventual aim of
carving up Europe between
them.
Hitler's ability to carry
out a coup against the army
depended primarily upon the
fact that on the day of Won
Hindenburg's death, every
member of the German
armed forces swore a per-
sonaI oath of loyalty to
Hitler.
Because of Prussian mill
tary tradition and loyalty to
an oath. Hitler was able to

suffered a more violent end.
Evidence that the situa-
ton in Germany is not yet
stabilized is the fact Hitler
finds it necessary in the
interim to take over immedi-
ate administrative command
of the armed forces. Goering
might not have been able to
quell the rebellious feelings
of Prussian officers at the
indignities offered tn cir
chiefs.
But the magic of Hitler's
name is still sufficient to OBJ
tain an automatic salute of
obedience from that vast
army and air force and
growing navy before which
Europe trembles.

LEADERS RADICALS
Il have no doubt IS per cent
of the seamen are dependable
persons. but unfortunately in
the leadership of the disturbing
union two-thirds of the leaders
are Communists. The testimony
I have heard convinces me that
the present objective of the
Communists is to create dissen-
sion and discord in the maritime

What the ultimate objective
is, is problematical, but if that
group gains control of our ships

cific information concerning his

Miss Perkins appeared before
the committee yesterday, but it
was discovered the Bridges files

information desired by Copeland
and Vandenberg.
The Washington times., 1938-02-05

On one hand, the French
and other potential adver-
saries of Germany point out
that removal of Won Fritsch
and his companions must
cripple the German general
staff in the same way that
execution of the Red army's
chiefs must have diminished
the Soviet Unions striking
power.
RADICALS IN SADDLE
On the other hand, some
observers note ominous signs
that in the case of both mill
tary and economic changes,
men known as radicals have
displaced conservatives.
Meaning that those likely
to concur in an adventurous
course have taken positions
formerly occupied by those
favoring a more cautious
policy.
Thus Joachim Won Ribhen-
trop, the new foreign min
lister, is known to be far more
likely to concur in policies
involving h hazards s than

ASSURANCE SOUGHT
9 As the japanese govern
Oo ment will be aware, the
naval treaty gives the Ameri-
can Government a right Of
oscillation in the event Of

not a party thereto. There
have for some time been per-
sistent and cumulative re-
ports, which, in the absence
of explicit assurances from
japanese government,
that they are ill-fOunded,
must be deemed to be authen-
tic, that Japan has under
taken or intends to undertake
construction of capital ships
and cruisers not in conform
ity with the aforementioned
limits.
The American Government
has, therefore, decided that 1t
will be necessary for it to ex-
ercise its right Of oscillation
unless the Japanese govern
ment can furnish the afOre-
said assurances and can sat
isfy the American Govern
