Toward England, however, Ger
many expresses nothing but bitter
ness. The Germans charge Britain
with having egged the Poles on to
make war.
AS for Poland, German spokes-
men have intimated clearly that she
would get better peace terms If the
Western powers were willing to call
off the war on all fronts. 1t is noted,
of course, that Poland can't make
peace alone, because of her mutual
aid pact with England.
Out to Smash Hitler.
There Is some discussion that
Germany is trying to get Poland to
surrender and beg her allies to ac-
cept German dictated peace.
This would put the Anglo-French
team in the position of continuing
the conflict against Poland's wishes.
Well, Prime Minister Chamber
lain has made it clear that he is out
to smash Hitler and the Nazi
regime.
Britain hasn't said she wouldn't
make peace with some other form
of German government besides Nazi-
ism. We then see that this fits In
perfectly with the unconcealed allied
efforts to cause a revolt of the Ger
man people against their govern
ment.
England, in effect, is inviting the
German public to throw Hitler and
his doctrines out and establish a
government with which the allies
can treat. To this Field Marshal
Goering says to Mr.. Chamberlain:
You can have war if you want
it and in any form you want We
want peace, but giving up the
Fuehrer. as others think we might,
is too big a price to pay for peace

uncertain, it is more likely than not
that they will stick to the non-ag-
gression pact and let it 60 at that.
Mussolini on the Fence.
The Italians are neutral. Musso-
lini is on the fence. For almost
two weeks he has been submitted
to a terrific barrage of diplomatic
proposals He is after one thing:
Obtain more territories in Africa
in which to settle the increasingly
growing Italian population.
If the allies can offer him this
without strings-he may be induced
to open the Adriatic to British
French naval and military forces on
the basis of strict neutrality. The
Adriatic does not belong to Italy.
The country controls it because it
has a stronger navy than Yugo-
slavia.
A refusal on the part of II Duce
not to interfere with foreign ships
transports of men of war-going to
Yugoslavia would not mean, tech
nically, a breach of neutrality and
would increase the victory chances
of the allies by at least IS per cent.
And that is what the British and
French are playing for in Rome
today A further slowing down of
the German military activities in
Poland might cinch the deal; this
seems to be the unanimous impress
sion in diplomatic circles where the
activities in Rome are known and
followed with a keen interest.

French Reach Saarbruecken,

French ReaCn SaarDruecken,
The French are said to have
reached the industrial city of Saar-
bruecken, about 10 miles inside the
German border, after fighting their
way through the perils of the myriad
German advance defenses. This
has drawn fierce opposition from
the Germans.
A little farther to the northwest,
near the Luxembourg border, where
the French also had pushed through,
the Germans have been making
heavy counter-attacks. All this
activity is supposedly preliminary
to a major allied assault on the
Siegfried Line.
Meantime, of course, the British
are concentrating on their cam
paign to sweep the seas, starve the
Germans out, and create revolt
among the German people. The
allies are banking much on these
weapons.
Two Ideas of Peace.
Germany seems to continue to
Wlg-Wag Tor peace as soon as it
has finished smashing Poland. But
peace as envisaged by Der Fuehrer,
and peace as envisaged by his pet
aversion of the moment-British
Prime Minister Chamberlain-are
two very different things. The ap-
proach to the subject by these two
major figures of the European war
is both interesting and illuminating.
Hitler still is pursuing his policy
OF trying to gain Frances good
will by refusing to take the offensive
against the French on the western
front. The only fighting the Ger
mans have done thus far in this
theater has been forced on them by
the French themselves.
