EUROPEAN DIPLOMATS ARE
OF OPINION THAT PEACE OR
WAR STILL OPEN QUESTION
tBY ASSOCIATED PRESS

European statesmen believe that
the paramount question of war or
peace has been affected little, i
any at all, by Chancellor Adolf Hit
ler's speech before the German
Reichstag. made on Friday.
Diplomatic circles in London and
Paris. and the countries OF Central
Europe. closely studied every SEN
tence of the speech for some mixing
of Hitler's plans toward Europe.
Hitlers rebuff to President Roose-
welt was of only minor Importance.
Europe was concerned more with
the tone of his speech and what eff
feet it would have on the continent
already strained to the breaking
point by fear and suspicion.
General Conclusion
The general conclusions in Lon
don and Paris were these:
First, there is little hope that
differences between the rival Euro
pean camps can be settled now by
negotiation. Hitler made no offers
to negotiate and he reaffirmed his
TACK OF faith in the conference
aethod.
Second, most diplomatic experts
feel that the situation has gone
too far to be saved by diplomacy
unless it be last minute diplomatic
surrender to Germany, such as the
Munich settlement.
Third, both rival European camps
will speed up their efforts to OBJ
tain allies in Central Europe and
also in Eastern Europe. Announce
ment OF the Soviet alliance with
Britain and France may come next
week
Fourth, Europe feels that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not possibly
claim to be fully justified in giving
greater American aid and encour-
agement to Britain and France.
Fifth, and most important, POLAND
becomes the next danger spot OF
the map Of Europe.
Summary
The speech was one Of Hitler''
| longest.
Here is a bitter summary of it:
main points:
One-Germany denies the mora
right OF President Roosevelt to in
terfere in Germany's affairs IL
Europe. Germany doesn't interfere
when the United States takes any
action IN American Republics like
Haiti and Nicaragua.
Two-GermanV has not found an.
ration which feels herself threat
ened by Germany. However. Ger

sion pledges t. a1y of the nations

Urging women to make an intelli-

Church, wife of Representative

pressed the opinion that their indif-
ference may frequently be attributed
to ignorance.
Mrs, Church, who addressed the
League of Republican Women of the
District at club headquarters, 1901
Seventeenth street NV, gave a
frank analysis of the weakness of
women in politics, at the same time
giving credit to women who work
sincerely and intelligently toward
the goal of better government. The
undivided attention OF her audience
was marked throughout her talk.
Mrs. Church urged women to form
their own judgment in politics.
Party Affiliation Urged.
women are apt to act too quickly
and be influenced too greatly by the
spoken word," she continued. Il
think every woman should be a
member OF some party. 1t is better
to be member of even the wrong
party than no party at all, as prog
ress comes through party member
ship" she continued.
Before entering political life ac-
lively, however. Mrs. Church ad-
vised that women first see that their
own houses are in ORDER
Work out the standards of de-
mocracy first In your homes" she
added, for national standards can
not be greater than personal ones"
Mrs. Church advocated not only
the depontation of undesirable aliens
and restriction of immigration. but
also the assimilation of resident
aliens with intelligent and construc-
tive education.
Mrs. Gam Presides.
That there is a place in public
work for every woman was another
point emphasized the speaker.
Even the woman who likes to talk
over the telephone can be made USE
full in party work" she laughed, re-
calling the case of a talkative club
member who was of great value in
telephoning messages and informa-
ton.
Mrs. Edward E. Gam, president of
the league. presided and introduced
the speaker. Among those attending
