put under the heel of the Italian conqueror.
 By the implied threat of the Bren- ner Pass and the situation of the Tyroleans, and by the bait of the loot Italy can attain by allying her. self with Germany, Hitler has di- rected Mussolini's recent policies. FASCISTS ADOPT
 NAZI POLICIES
 Those who accept this theory point out:
 CD That after having often de- clared anti-Semitism had no place in the Fascist scheme of things, Mussolini about year ago adopted most of the Nazi racial theories and eliminated non-Aryans from the army, navy and colleges. The chief reason was that Germany's leaders did not think Italy could stand wholeheartedly by Germany so long as non-Aryans occupied important posts.
 (2) That when the time came for the Italo- military pact to be signed, it was not Ribbentrop who went to Rome. but Ciano who went to Berlin for the signing. In

Europe Speculates: Is Duce "A Willing Partner Of Hitler?
WAR OR PEACE NAY HINGE ON TRUE STRENGTH OF TIES THAT BIND GERMANY AND ITALY
BY MILTON BRONNER JEA Service Staff Correspondent

NEA Service Stan COrreSpOn0ent London, June 9-Is the Italo- Ger man military pact a marriage of love between the Nazi and the Fa- scist states-or shotgun wedding, with Adolf Hitlers finger on the trigger?
 There are responsible statesmen who believe the alliance was a logical outcome of the parallel policies of the two totalitarian states. They are alike in denying people freedom of the press, public assembly and frank speech. They are alike in building up huge armaments at the cost of all else. They are alike in their so- cial regimentation. They are alike in their thirst for other nations property.
 So all their interests in the future of Europe and the world march together.
 GERMANY IN POSITION
 TO THREATEN ITALY But there is decidedly opposite view held in many European quar- ters. Part of it may, of course, be due to wishful thinking. But these thinkers point out that Italy's posi- ton and Italy's policy have under gone radical changes ever since Hit Ter seized Austria.
 That brought Hitler's legions to the Brenner Pass. That made the Reich a neighbor of Italy with common frontiers. That enabled Hitler to threaten a hostile Italy with a smash through to the Tren- tino and to Trieste.
 I'm Mussolini does not toe the line and, if Hitler wants an ex- cuse for strong-arm methods, there is always the South Tyrol, annexed by Italy after the World War. About 35OOO0 German Tyroleans were thus

other words, Italy was treated as the junior partner.
 (3) While comparatively few high Italian officers have visited German Notifications and military disposi- tions, there has been constant stream of Germany army higher ups who have gone to Italy and to Libya to inspect Italian fortifica- tions, air forces, munition factories and anti-aircraft forces. Once more Germany has acted towards Italy as the junior partner.
 SEE GERMANY WEAVING
 WEB AROUND HER ALLY
 On top of this come various re- ports - difficult to check = that Germany is pressing Italy to de- vote itself more to raising food and securing raw materials, while Germany makes guns and muni- tions both for Germany and Italy. If true, this shows desire of the Nazi leaders so to interweave the interests and war potential of Ger many and Italy that it would be impossible for Italy to break away.
 The Nazis know that the mass of the Italian people are not keen on the alliance with Germany and the prospect of being pulled into war in which Germany would be the greatest gainer if there were victory.
 Also, the Nazis remember their history Before the last war Italy was member of the Triple Ali ance, with Germany and Austria Hungary. But when the World War broke out, Italy remained neutral-then finally came in on the side of Great Britain and France. The Nazis are trying their
