Hopes were founded on the view
that he might instead indicate a will

Anti-German Bloc
OF Britain Waitinq
On Poland and Italy
Impotence Manifest in
England With Delay
In New Policy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 25.-Britain's at
tempt to build new ring of steel
around expanding Germany waited
today on Poland and Italy.
It waited on Poland to decide
where to seek to bolster her threat
ened security and on Premier Mus
solini to show how much he still
counts on the Rome axis to
give him belated rewards.
Growing impatience. meanwhile,
was manifest in political quarters
at the governments delay in bring
ing out vigorous new collective
security policy to replace Prime Min
lister Chamberlain's discarded ap-
peasement program.
Reasons for Delay Cited.
Critics of the government blamed
delay in constituting the proposed
anti-aggression front on it's appar-
ent unWillingness to take these steps:
l. Give definite military commit
ments to Eastern European coun-
tries to gain adherents for stop

2. Impose some form Of conscrip-
tion Immediately to show Britain S
intention to play full part in re-
sisting possible aggression;
3. Broaden the base of the ma
tional government to bring in minis
ters with strong convictions about
collective security, such as former
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and Winston Churchill.
While Soviet Russia, after the
first hesitations, appeared ready to
join Britain and France in an anti
aggression declaration, Poland held
out for more concrete proof of mu-
tual aid. Now poised in the jaw OF
expanding Germany, Poland refused
to invite Nazi hostility by signing
an unfriendly declaration which was
not backed by military support
against German attack.
The British cabinet was believed
divided on the issue whether to en-
bark on course involving a promise
to launch hostilities against Ger
many on the west in event of an
attack on Poland.
Many collective security advocates
both among conservatives and the
opposition in Parliament, urged the
government to take such a risk a.

will say in fairness they cannot
under the circumstances make use
of this material or make it the
issue. I will give some facts in sup
port Of my contention.
When Japan seized Manchuria
and our Government asked that
Great Britain join in a protest, the
British government sent one of her
ablest men to Geneva and, in the
face Of two treaties, defended the
lawless act Of Japan. It was ar
gued that British interests would be
better protected by Japan. This
seizure Of Manchuria and its sue
cess laid the foundation for the
present war against China.
Germany Given Encouragement
In Austrian Crisis.
When Hitler was preparing for
the taking over Of Austria, repre-
sentative Of the British government
let Berlin know that it might be we'll
for Europe If Austria passed into
stronger hands. AS the time drew
near for the use of the political gull
lotine on this weak nation, Ribben-
trop, Hitler's special friend and rep
resentative, visited London, arriving
March 8, and spent several days with
the members of the British govern
ment. He dined with the King,
with Mr.. Chamberlain, Lord Hall
fax.
On March II, after the pre-
emptory ultimatums of Hitler began
to pour in upon Austria, Schusch-
nigg, Austrias prime minister, in
his desperation, began a hunt for
friends among the democracies. He
used the phone. He called up Paris,
but no member Of the government
could be found. He tried London,
but he could not contact with any
member of the government. 1t was
at this time, this very time, when
it was fully known what was trans
piring, that the representative of
Hitler was visiting with the King,
with Mr.. Chamberlain, Lord Hall
fax, and others. 1t is reported that
the Archbishop of Canterbury was
among them. There was no voice to
be found here against the seizure
OF Austria or in behalf of democ-
racy.
During the dismemberment of
Czecho-Slovakia. no mention was

antipathy, to Nazi-ism, as such, dur

U.S.. Warned to Heal Own Sores; Europe
Held QuorreIing Over Trade, Not Principles

The tert OF Senator Borah's speech
last night on the European situation
and proposed changes In the Neu-
trality Act tollo,Ds::
What would happen in this coun-
try il we should permit ourselves to
be drawn INTO a European war?
1t is legitimate question to pro-
pound and about which we ought
all to be thinking, for powerful in
f1uences at home and abroad are
seeking by all kinds of methods to
bring us to that end, to involve us
in all the racial, territorial, and
financial problems of Europe, and
ultimately, in war. What will hap
pen to the American people, their
homes, their children and their lib
erty? What will happen to this
Republic? For war, of all things
on earth, is freedoms greatest
enemy. We are told that we may
have to 60 to war. Nevertheless, 1t
is proper to ask: What will happen
if we do? If we reflect sufficiently
upon these matters, it will at least
help us to weigh carefully-and may
I say, prayerfully-the steps by
which we may be led into these Eu-
ropean controversies and into Eu-
ropean wars.
First, what are the conditions in
these days of peace, the conditions
which will confront us, if war
comes, for upon these conditions we
will have to build for war. We now
have a national debt, including
obligations underwritten for $45, ,000,-
100000, budget of something over
$40, ,000. 100000, a deficit somewhere
around $500, 100000. We have a
tax burden so heavy that it is break
Ing the spirit and paralyzing the
energy Of millions of our people. Do
these things have anything to do
with preparedness for war? Do they
have any bearing upon the stability
or perpetuity of this Government?
We also have 1000 900 unemployed
| and we have the Squalor and the
misery, the sorrow and the dis
couragement which come with such
unemployment. We have one-third
of our industrious, law-abiding citi-
zens, it is estimated, men and women
anxious to win back prosperity and
a decent way of living, to rear in
respect and happiness their chill

of life or upon charity.

Lesson to Be Learned
From Last Conflict.
Twenty-Five years ago we laid the
conscriptive power of this Govern
ment upon the youth of our land
and took them across the sea to
fight and die in an effort to adjust
other peoples problems. I have no
intention Of rejecting upon either
the wisdom or the patriotism of that
sublime adventure: But has 1t no
lesson to teach? Do we not now real
ize how toughly engrained and how
inherently imbedded in the whole
structure and civilization of Europe
are the ambitions of rulers, racial
antipathy, intolerance, and, most Of
all, the belief that only by force can
such matters be dealt with?
We entertained the hope then that
IN the presence of the power Of this
Republic, these things would give
way, governments would become
more liberal, and liberty more Sc
cure, and, above all, the people would
have a happier outlook. We re-
turned home, leaving our dead in
foreign soil, bringing with us the
manned and the insane. leaving be-
hind Europe poisoned and torn
with bitterness and hate, the breed
ing ground of many wars, and sat-
urated with more imperialistic
schemes and personal ambitions
than have been known since the
days of the Caesars. All these things
were embodied in so-called peace
treaties to be preserved, fostered and
nurtured until the time should ripen
them for action. Not since the Hun
dred Years War was Europe so en-
bittered and impoverished as it was
the day the Versailles treaty was
signed and the great Frenchman,
Clemenceau, truly said, in SUBJ
stance: This is a continuation OF
the war"
About the only treasure we
brought home was the story Of en-
durance and undaunted heroism of
the unframed American boy, taken
from the factory or the farm and
thrown almost overnight into the
hell of European battlefields-a story
without precedent in all the annals
of war.
