Washington Observations
Divided CounseIs on American Foreign Policy
Spurred HitIer's Czech Adventure

Nation from its dream that no
matter what takes place across the
Atlantic, it can't happen here. Let
no American forget that, in this
supreme hour of his career as the
Dillinger of international politics,
Adolf Hitler ranks Uncle Sam as the
Reich's Enemy No. l. Undoubtedly
the Nazis today would rather hu-
initiate the United States than any
other country In the world. When
ever the Fuehrer decides to crafty
his venom against us, he will prob
ably not strike at these invulnerable
shores, but in the direction of South
America. Recent official utterances
In Berlin openly breathed hatred
and defiance of our undisguised
plans to knit the democratic hemis-
phere into an economic, defensive
and theological unit. When the true
inwardness of the Brazilian-Ame
can financial alliance dawns upon
Berlin, an anti-American explosion
perhaps even some kind of a pro-
vocative German move in Latin
America-may be looked for.
X X X X
Some authorities in Washington
think the Czecho- -Slovakian COUP
was timed, in part. as a reprisal
against the Catholic Church for
electing Pope whom the Nazis op-
posed, and also as fresh blow at
the Jews and their friends abroad,
notably in the U. S. A., who are try
ing to ameliorate the fate of refu-
gees. Imposition of the Nuremberg
anti-Semitic laws in Moravia, Bo-
hemia and Slovakia automatically
brings another half million Jews
within the scope of Nazi tyranny
and adds correspondingly to the
battling problem of what the world
is to do for and with these hordes
of homeless and helpless humans.
-
BY no means the least of the swag
that Hitler bags by his latest act of
international gangsterism is the
acquisition of the great Skoda mu-
nitions industry at Pilsen, Bohemia
the Czech Krupps. Skoda and
allied concerns are said to have
munitions-making capacity greater
than that of all Italy put together.
Their potentialities will almost
double Germany's existing plant for
production of guns, shells and
bombs. Certainly for making
purposes, Skoda is far more valu-
able for Germany than the gold
reserve and foreign exchange that
fell into her burglarious hands at
Prague. + X
Loss Of his country's independence
comes home with special poignancy
to Vladimir Hurbin, Czecho-Slovak
Minister to the United States since
December, 1886. for he was one of
the real founding fathers of his un-
happy country. The soldier -diplo-
mat was in the United States in
1917-18 with the late Thomas G..
Masaryk, first president of Czecho-
Slovakia. and collaborated closely
with him in writing the charter of
the late republican event, by the
way, which took place in a humble
home at Washington.

as in the cases of Austria and
Munich, Britain and France would
do nothing but view with alarm.
Then, on the very eve of the rape
Of the Czech state, the Fuehrer
received what he considered an as
surance that Germany need fear
no more from the United States than
from the European democracies.
The Nazis did not expect American
armed forces would ever be sent
across the ocean to check Hitler.
But after President Roosevelt indi-
Gated that the moral sympathies
and material resources of this coun-
try would be ranged against the
relationships in a showdown with
the totalitarians, Berlin knew that
aggressive war would be dangerous
gamble. There was reliable evidence
that Washington's attitude gave the
Nazis food for serious thought and
temporarily damped their enthusi-
asm for fresh adventures.
Thereupon, in the course of en-
suing debate over the French air.
plane deal and the defense bill, the
Senate proceeded to present to the
world picture of bitterly divided
American counsels. To Europe and
Asia-to Germany and Japan in
particular-went graphic accounts
of how the President was being
raked fore and aft in Congress, not
only by his political opposition, but
by members Of his own party, for
action that aligned him with the
enemies of Nazi-ism and Fascism.
The inevitable consequence was that
Hitler, Mussolini ct al. jumped to
the conclusion that while Washing
ton might bark, it could not bite,
because the branch of Congress
chiefly concerned with external
affairs was in rebellion against the
Governments foreign policy and
was ready to thwart it. Hitler
marched. He had other incentives,
Of course. than the encouragement
that radiated from Capitol Hill. But
when the history of this black week
is written, this observer risks the
prediction that the refusal of the
United States Senate to halt politics
at the waters edge at a critical
moment played its miserable and
unhappy part in encouraging Adolf
Hitler to perpetrate the crime of
1899. X X **

OF Hitler's seizure of Czecho-

secretary, hailed the coming of the
golden age" with peace among ma

rumors of war" This was to be
brought about by the Nominations
Committee inviting the dictators
into the British Club. These heads
OF continental states were rather de-
cent chaps, it seemed, even If they
hadn't gone to British public schools.
That brought deep, hoarse
belly-laugh from the Voelkischer
Beobachter, and the next day there
began Hitler's first overt subjuga-
ton of non-German peoples. On
January q of this year, Sir Samuel
said: "On no account must we fall

which the world was lifted by the
Munich peace" One seems to hear

Sir Samuel. however, if news ac-

ulting over the Munich peace, and
thinks everything was arranged
nicely with the guaranty of Czecho-
Slovakia's borders.
Sir Samuel is lean, precise man

and perhaps the most aristocratic
