German Nazis brought sudden ten
sion in relations between Germany
and Poland.
First the official German DNB
news agency, IN dispatch from
Danzig. asserted that 100 Germans
had fled from Polish terrorism in
the Polish corridor between Ger
many proper and East Prussia.
second came an official an
nouncement at Warsaw that q
German Nazis''. including some
women. had been arrested in west
ern Poland on charges of lncitine
against the state, insulting the
Polish army or organizing or be-
longing to an organization similar
to the Hitler Maidens of Germany,
Third came the news that DAN
zig's Nazi government had pro-
tested to the Polish diplomatic rep
resentative gainSt distribution
from Polish trains crossing Danzis
territory of an ant-German song,
Il was regarded as noteworthy
that this protest followed the COM
plaint Of terrorism
Until the protest was made. 1t
was understood. there had been a
OF discussion for several
days of routine small incidents and
problems affecting relations OF
Poles and Danzig people.
Official quarters at Berlin and
Warsaw continued to deny reports
published abroad that Germany
had sent new demands to Poland
as regards Danzig, the Polish cor
ridor or establishment of a STRAIT
agic motor road zone connecting
Germany and East Prussia. 1t was
denied also that there had beer
any extraordinary troop move
ments in German territory near
Poland.

the eastern holdings would be
needed. The Courtright-HeWes cru
sade to Wall street followed and
its success quieted fears that east
ern holders would not react kindly
to a Bank of America official. This
fear was based on the reports that
Wall street has failed to dominate
Pacific coast financing largely be-
cause of the Bank of America, OF
which Courtright is a high Official.
Courtright and HeWes, however
appear to have turned what might
have been a handicap into an ad-
vantage. because among eastern IN
stitutions pledging securities were.

Germs as the City Bank, Bankers
Trust, Central Hanover bank, Chase

that solicitating scattered holdings

ia ltlf dlT Is now IN bnclI laNOl
and growing more favorable daily.
The five major powers-Britain
B France, Germany, Italy and Russia
have among them more than 3D.
100000 men either under arms or
in reserve-the greatest potential
armies ever ready for action in
history.
Russia has $4,000 900 trained re-
serves and men in active service,
France has 6,25O0 Italy $500 900.
Germany 100000 and Britain
. $4,000.
Allied with the democracies and
the dictators are 5000. 600 seasoned
troops of secondary powers. which
means that if war comes-states-
men insist IL is still no certainty
Al 100000 men will be available
for action.
Europe is speculating on where
a war will be fought if it does
come and how the theological blocs
will line up at the start. Eventually,
there seems little doubt that nearly
all the nations would be forced in.
In event of a conflict, military
of war would be the Mediterranean.
North Africa and possibly north
ern Italy. The French Maginot and
German Siegfried lines are so
strong that possibly neither coun-
try would risk sacrificing a mil
lion men in an attempt to break
through there. France might try
TO penetrate northern Italy through
the Alps and strike Germany thru
the Brenner Pass and Germany
might attempt the same thing in
reverse. A major feature Of the
war would be action at sea and in
the air
In event of a general outbreak
of fighting. there would be pros
poets of military action along the
traditionally "untouchable from
tiers" of small nations from the
North sea to the Red sea, the ex-
perts agree.
The Alps have been barrier
Imperial Valley press., 1939-04-13

to invasion between France and
Italy throughout history, although
Hannibal and Napoleon both got
through, and France might attempt
it in the southern Alps.
France has formidable fortifica-
tions in the Alps and Italy like
wise on her side.
On the only other common from
tier between French and italian
interests-the l00-mile long from
tier across the sandy desert be-
tween Tunisia and Libya. French
engineers have built the Mareth
line as a miniature reproduction
of the Maginot line.
Hence experts doubt that there
will be any attempt by the major
powers to strike direct blows. That
explains the anxiety among the
three smaller powers which have
the geographic misfortune of being
natural corridors used for centur-
les by invaders-Switzerla Hol-
land and Belgium.
Proof of the determination of
the smaller powers to MAINTAIN
their neutrality and defend their
frontiers is furnished by the
Dutch threat to cut their dikes and
flood one third of the lowland5,
the Rumanian menace OF setting
fire to their oilwells TO prevent
them from falling into German
hands. and the Swiss readiness to
explode mines planted along the
frontiers and blow the Alpine cliffs
INTO the valleys TO block invaders.

Enrique Jurges. former secretary
to German Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels, whose re-
cent letter TO President Roberto M
Ortiz started Argentina's investiga-
tion of Nazi activities, admitted
today that revenge was the motive
for his disclosures.
Jurges. a nervous little man with
stiff leg resulting from World

against Chancellor Adolf Hitler
and the Nazi regime after his wife
died because of treatment received
in a concentration camp, and his
mother-in-law was killed, allegedly
by Nazi police.

always will be-" Jurges said during
an interview in a small room he
rents here. "Rut / will never be a

Revenge Motive

letter to President Ortiz started the
Nazi inquiry.

of the investigation) and Federal
Prosecutor Paolucci Cornejo will
fathom the Hitlerite infiltration in
all its ramifications," he said.
Pointing to trunk in the corner
of his room, urges said it contain
ed more compromising Nazi docu-
ments that he had offered to the
authorities once the investigation
was opened He said that one of
the chief reasons for sending the
letter to the president was the

residents by the local branch of
the Nazi party whose membership
in this country, he alleged, is only
5.274.

The waning social season will sky
rocket with interest during the COM
ing week for the arrival in the city
of their royal highnesses Crown
Prince Olav and Crown Princess
Martha of Norway will be the i'm
petus for a round of festivities.
Many who usually leave WASH
ington when the warm days descend
upon the city have fingered on in
order to meet these interesting visi-
tors from across the sea. But when
the curtain drops on this last visit
OF royalty scheduled for this year
there will be wholesale migration
to cooler places, both in this coun-
try and abroad. Then, the Nations
Capital will settle down to a quiet
few months, that is, quiet" as far as
any formal entertaining is con-
cerned. OF course, the social calen-
dar in Washington is never COM
pletely devoid of parties and so
throughout the summer period there
will be the customary informal get
togethers of those who, because of
one thing or another, are forced to
remain on the scene regardless of
the intense heat.
