1t Is Enough to Know

HuII's Aide Says

NEW YORK, May 3.-Propaganda
attacks, designed to break up the
unity Of the Americas, need not be
taken too seriously, Adolf A. Berle.
jr., Assistant Secretary Of State, told
the Academy OF Political Science to-
day.
'The actual fact is, so far az I can
see," Mr.. Berle said, neither the
Communist nor the Fascist propa-
ganda has made a great deal Of
headway in South America; the
dangers Of one or the other are too
often magnified in the United States
for purposes which are by no means
set forth on the surface. 80 They
have not had great success, and
there Is no particular occasion to be
unduly frightened about them.
For our purpose 1t is enough to
know that these movements do
exist, and that they do represent
very real attempt, first, to break
up the unity Of the Americas, and.
second, to make possible the re-
opening of this hemisphere to the
modern form of imperialism, which
is little more than new form Of
the 10th century imperialism whose
attacks on the continent were sue
cessfully resisted as pan-American.

department Is responsible for terri
tory only as far as the high-water
mark Of the Virginia shore line.
Capt. P. J. Carroll of the United
States park police declared the Fed

Suit Filed in d. C. Court.
Commonwealth's Attorney Law
renee w. Douglas advised Arlington
County police not to consider the
barbecue within their jurisdiction
pending the outcome of a suit filed
last fall in the District Court OF
Washington. The suit was filed by
Harry Riganis, proprietor of the
Bluebird, and seeks to restrain
Arlington County officials from en-
forcing Virginia Alcoholic Beverage
Control regulations. Mr.. Riganis
alleges that his property is within
the original high-water mark Of the
Potomac River and 1t is within the
District of Columbia.
The situation Is blamed by some
on Congress failure to settle the
boundary dispute between Washing
ton and Virginia. It was recalled
that a serious question Of police

Baker murder case because Of the

Call for Police Reveals
'No-Mun's Land Near City

A no-man's land, over which there
is no police Jurisdiction, exists just
across the Potomac River from
Washington.
This situation was determined to-
day when three police departments
disclaimed responsibility for not an
swering frantic calls for aid at
Harry's Bluebird Barbecue yesterday.
The establishment is just south Of
the Highway Bridge, adjacent to the
Washington Airport.
Metropolitan police records show
that at 5:45 am. yesterday a radio
broadcast requested Arlington Coun-
ty police cruisers to 60 to the estab-
lishment to stop a fight. Arlington
authorities did not respond because
they have received instructions that
the establishment is out OF their
jurisdiction, at least until a definite
decision is determined in suit
pending In the District Court.
Telephone calls were made to the
metropolitan police and the United
States park police, but each of these
departments also denied they had
jurisdiction.
Woman Calls Police.
A woman on the phone, who called
Arlington County Sergt. A. D. Lang
ley, said she was at the Bluebird.
She Is believed to be the same person
who called Alexandria police for
assistance little later. Sergt. Lang
ley said the woman told him there
was "a terrible fight" In progress
and that she had been dragged from

Meanwhile, Hungary fervently
| hopes that Poland. through Foreign
Minister Joseph Beck's speech to
Parliament Friday, will prove "rea-
sonable." She has reason to believe
that Premier Mussolini Is urging
moderation upon both Poland and
Germany.
AS to Slovakia, the Hungarian
dream of seeing it incorporated in
a greater Hungary still persists, but
at present difficulties of realizing 1t
are so great that it is the part of
wisdom not to press 1t.
Hitler Takes Initiative.
Hitler himself apparently took the
initiative In the offers to the Scan
dinavian nations.
Identical notes offering non-ag-
gression pacts were delivered to the
ministers of the four Scandinavian
countries, it was said, and the en-
voys Immediately forwarded the
notes to their governments.
Hitler apparently had determined
to give the world proof Of his desire
for peace.
Chance of Success Uncertain.
The chances for success of Hit
ler's move could not yet be fore
told. Generally speaking, as one ex-
perienced diplomat pointed out, any
small nation is glad to have her in
volatility guaranteed by a formid-
able neighbor.
For small nations there is big
proviso, however-namely, their
aversion to obligations Of a nature
which would severely restrict their
independence of action in event the
big nation guarantor became in
volved with third powers.
For instance. considerations of
this kind prevented Denmark in
1884 from following the suggestion
of Poland that she sign pact with
Germany similar to the 1884 10-year
?olish-German non-aggression ac-
cord-an agreement which was de-
nounced last Friday by Hitler.
Polish Demands Termed Insane
The German propaganda machine
today was emphasizing to Warsaw
that suggestions in the opposition
press there of q Polish protector
ate" over Danzig were regarded in
Berlin as insane"
Signs which appear when Ger
many has diplomatic irons in the
fire turned up in profusion in the
press, which prepared the public for
whatever the Polish foreign minister
may have to say Friday.
Newspapers were laden with ed
itorials on "phantasies about Dan
zig"
They called the idea of a Polish
protectorate over the one-time Ger
man port, now a Free City for
Poland's trade, European well
poisoning" and catastrophe ig-
norance."
The provincial press contributed
to the campaign, and long dis
patches from Warsaw described
what the Boersenzeitung called q
program of megalomania.
