European War Is
 Predicted By Nations

Here is a composite of authorita- tive opinion on why recent events abroad have created a war threat graver than the one which ended at Munich
 Just Escaped War Earlier
 During the Czech crisis in Sep tember Europe escaped war only be- cause of the willingness of the Brit ish and French governments to &C., cept disagreeable terms. Their people were psychologically unpre- pared to cope with sudden attacks by air, and Democratic statesmen clung to the hope that peace could be stabilized by negotiation. Aside from the principles involved, the Czech crisis was a test of the un- natural barriers which France had erected after the World war to keep Germany weak. When the show down came, France had no desire to fight to maintain them.
 Since Munich the situation has changed, especially in fundamental factors that led to past wars. Britain ard France have armed and sought allies. Their peoples have been pre- pared. Public anger has been aroused.

 Senator Culhane, it is understood. will oppose any move to consider the referendum bill under suspension of the rules.
 Senator Anthony Rich, Republi- can leader, is also said to be against rules suspension.
 Senator Culhane today said he was not prepared to disclose what action he will take when the bill does reach the floor. It is expected that he will either oppose the bill in its entirety or seek to have it amended.
