EUROPEAN POT IS NOT so
NOISY RIGHT NOW Butts
BUBBL|NG JUST THE SAME
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 8. The
visit of King George and Queen
Elizabeth has given this country an
excuse for a period of ''watchful
waiting" while the air clears in
Europe.
Domestic affairs, the royal visit,
and third term talk have crowded
the European business aside for a
time, but the inner tension is no
less, perhaps even greater. One in
formed source says the British pro-
gram of encirclement may have
been a serious diplomatic blunder
that may be remedied only by a
backing down on the Polish guar
lantees even if that will work.
That view is based on such con-
ditions as these:
1.-During all his expansion pro-
gram Herr Hitler has kept in mind
that he must avoid war with Eng
land. He explained that position in
Mein Kampf. Diplomats who have
watched his course minutely have
accepted that statement in the Hit
| Ter book as gilt-edged-until lately.
! at was generally accepted that
Hitler would limit himself to claims
in which there was at least sha-
dow of equity. That was considered
the case in the Saar Basin, geo.
graphically part of Germany, as
with the Rhineland withheld by the
Allies after the war. That was the
case with Austria, since they were
racially one pople. The same covers
the Sudetenland. AS for Germany's
Iclaims on Poland, it is pointed Out
that most people in Danzig are
German, and a German road across
the Polish corridor would connect
two segments of the Reich.
