break Italy's morale; the other is
through violating the neutrality of
Belgium and The Netherlands and
enter Germany through the un-
fortified region which forms the
Dutch German border.
Both the British and the French
governments are reported to be most
anxious to avoid anything ''uneth-
ical' in the prosecution OF the new
war. They are most concerned over
what the American public thinks
and are worried lest something which
might be interpreted in this coun-
try as contrary to the code of honor
might set American public opinion
against the western allies.
But, it is reported in reliable mill
tary quarters, in the event that the
situation requires immediate action,
such considerations might be over
looked by the general STATS of both
countries and Holland and Belgium
might be urged to permit the viola
ton of their neutrality. In these
quarters it is believed that both neu-
trail kingdoms. after protesting weak
ly against the violation of their ter
ritory would welcome French and
British troops. In support of this
theory it is pointed out that Belgium
and the Netherlands feel themselves
menaced by an ultimate victory of
the Reich. Last winter there were
reports in Holland-which were later
substantiated-that Germany in
tended to enter Dutch territory in
the event of war with France.
Britain Ready for Long War.
The Dutch and the Belgium gov
ernments, while officially maintain
ing a strict neutrality, are report
ed to have indicated that, in case
the allied troops must pass through
their territory to attack Germany,
they would merely protest against
such violation but will offer no
resistance.

ters that Britain would conf1ne her
assistance to Poland by a blockade

from London show that Britain is
getting ready 'for long war" in

Of the present struggle, it is believed
in responsible quarters here that

Hitler Playing Astute Game.
All information from London and
Paris indicate that whatever the
opinion of the leaders may be the
public in both countries will demand
war to the bitter end.
1t is pointed out in well-informed
official quarters that Hitler is play
ing an astute game. He wants Brit
ain and France to believe that as
soon as he has finished up Poland
he will be ready to sit down with
the other powers and discuss gen.
eral settlement which will bring
permanent peace in Europe" This
point of view of the Fuehrer is
disproved by what is known to have
happened at the Salzburg confer
ence between Baron Won Ribben-
trop and Count Ciano. According
to well-informed reports from Lon
don-Italian officials are frequently
talkative-the German foreign min
lister has assured his Italian COL
league that the march through Po-
land will be short one. Italy would
have to remain neutral unless she
were attacked by France and Great
Britain. But, the Germans believed
then, neither of these countries
would participate actively in the de-
fense of Poland. After Poland has
been liquidated both Germany and
Italy would make their final de-
mands for a colonial readjustment,
and If the French and British were
unwilling to show some common
sense" Italy and Germany would
attack France.
These terms are well known in
Paris and London. In diplomatic
quarters here which are as we'll in
formed as possible, thanks to fire.
quenE communications with the Eu-
ropean capitals, it is believed that
France and Great Britain will not
be lulled into a feeling of security
because of 1taly's neutrality.
