The War in Europe--Doy by Day
Neither Side Wants War; but Getting European BeIIgeents
To Peace Conference Is Likely to Prove Difficult Task

just another nasty job that can't
be avoided.
There certainly would be some
way of reaching peace If the con-
tending governments could over
come the idea that a settlement by
force is now the only way out.
The difficulties are indeed great,
but one of them is that the silver
tongued orators of both sides have
swung themselves so far out on
limbs that it's not easy to get back.
The mediators will have to figure
out way of getting the various
statesmen of their precarious
perches before they can enter nego-
tiations. There will have to. be
heavy concessions by both sides.
The feeling is widespread among
statesmen that if and when the time
arrives for a peace conference, all
the problems of Europe should be
pooled so that there can be one
grand interlocking settlement. These
would include economic questions,
war colonies and other unsettled
territorial claims outside the present
conflict.
Issues to Be Settled.
There are grave issues which the
combatants will have to debate in
their own minds before they can
even answer the mediation offer. It
would seem that among these must
be:
On the allied side.
Is the Polish state irrevocably
shattered, insofar as its original
status is concerned. or can we GUST
both Germany and Russia and make
good our promise to restore it?
If complete restoration is impos-
sible, is there any way in which we
can serve Poland as we'll or better
than by continuing this war to a
bloody finish?
How are we to define the rather

Whatever may be the ultimate an

The outcome will depend on

This Changing World
Duteh-BeIeion Peace Appeal May Result
In Armed Coalition Of Neutral Powers

travelled in his life and knows MOTH
ing about the mentality of other
peoples Ribbentrop is widely trav-
eled. Some of his earlier surmises
of the international situation proved
to be correct. Hence, Hitler consid-
cred him as a second Prince Bis
marck and "Ribbentrop shared fully
this point of view of the Fuehrer."
Goering, who is a cautious politi-
clan, realized that nothing in the
world short of real disaster could
change the opinion of the Fuehrer
regarding his foreign secretary. Any
mild criticism or doubt regarding
the soundness of Ribbentrops views
on Britain's and Frances determine
ton to fight was considered by Ger
many's number one man as despic-
able jealousy. Even the high-rank-
ing officers of the general staff could
make no dent in Hitlers blind con-
fldence in the foreign secretarys
judgment. The general staff guar
anteed quick victory on the Polish
front, but expressed the highest
doubts whether such a feat could be
repeated in the west.
When Hitler showed a certain
amount of hesitation because of the
cold blooded analysis of his military
experts, Won Ribbentrop pulled out
of the trick box the Russian alliance:
Millions of men, inexhaustable raw
materials, powerful aviation, lots of
submarines, etc.
The East Prussian junkers got
worried when they realized that Hit
Ter had gone 100 per cent with the
Muscovites. This chief representa-
tives met at Neubeck, the residence
Of Col. Won Hindenbugh. the son
! of the old f1eldmarshal, and decided
to send him to demonstrate with the
Fueher. No man could be better
qualified than Col. Won Hindenburg
He had been his fathers secretary
and was more instrumental than
anybody else in Germany in persuad-
ing the old fieldmarshal to make
Hitler Chancellor.
Won Hindenburg went to Berlin,
cooled his heels in the waiting room
Of the Fuehrer for several days, then
returned to Neudeck to tell his
friends that he could not set eyes on
the man whom he had helped to be-
come dictator of Germany. Ribben-
trop took good care that the Fuehrer
should not see the representative of
old Germany
There is only one sign which could
be interpreted as change in heart
on the part of Mussolini toward his
Berlin colleague. That is the SLOW
ing down of the Jewish persecution
in Italy.
In diplomatic quarters this gesture
of II Duce is considered as more i'm
portant than the reshuffle in the
high Fascist ranks and the attacks
in the government-contro press
against Russia.
Mussolini decided last year to en-
force Aryan laws with the same fer
vor as Hitler. The majority of the
10000 Jews who lived in Italy were
ordered out of the country and those
who were permitted to remain had

vague term of "Hitlerism" which we
have sworn to "crush?"
If we still adhere to our declara-
ton that we won't again take Hitler's
unsupported word for anything, are
any guarantees possible to overcome
this? Is there any way in which
other nations could provide guaran-
tees which would afford the security
we demand?
Or are we to Crush Hitlerism"
and force new form of government
on Germany?
Is Bargaining Worth While.
On the Hitlerian side.
Is it better for us to 20 through
with the war in the hope of victory
which will enable us to retain what
we have seized, or shall we better
serve Europe and ourselves by re-
turning our disputed gains and bar
gaining with them?
What, for instance, are our war
colonies worth to us, and could we
get them back for price?
Up to our invasion of Poland. our
politico-economic expansion in East
ern Europe and the Balkans was
proceeding like clock-work. We had
all that part of the world eating out
of our hands, and there was nothing
to stop US in this form of empire
building.
Is it more profitable to bargain
now with the idea of restoring that
position? Or is it better to risk being
defeated and stripped of everything
in the hope of bigger gains?
Even should we win a protracted
war, will Russia and perhaps, Italy
meantime have made unalterable
inroads into our preserves?
There will, of course, be many
other momentous questions for both
sides to answer, but those few will
be enough to get on with for hit

The State Department., which
keeps its ear close to the ground
about what is going in in neutral
European states, believes the peace
appeal of Queen Wilhelmina and
King Leopold may result in a coali-
ton of all the Oslo powers for the
maintenance of their neutrality by
force of arms. Reports from the
capitals of the belligerent countries
indicate that the actual peace ap-
peal will have the same fate as pre-
vious ones. 1t will receive the usual
utmost consideration" and will be
answered by another set of reasons
why the nations are fighting.
One of the principal reasons for
the war, according to Sir Neville
Henderson, the former British Am
bassador at Berlin, is Herr Won Rib
bentrop, Hitler's foreign minister
Diplomatic correspondence is as a
rule very dull reading. Every time
an ambassador has something spicy
to say in a dispatch to his govern
ment, that dispatch is suppressed by
those in charge of the publication
of official documents.
Henderson has very caustic
mind and an amusing and interest
ing way of looking at things. Be-
cause he is a good shot, an excellent
all-round sportsman and an excel
lent fellow, he became the close
friend of many high Nazis, espe-
cially of Marshal Goering. In a
private letter to one of his friends
in London Henderson praised Goer-
ing sky-high and said that the poor
man was bored to death by the
dizziness of Hitler and his collab-
orators, who find little JOY in the
normal things of life.

Sir Neville naturally did not want
to embarrass his friends by making
public such private reports to the
foreign office, but in the Blue Book
published in London he tells the
truth about the flimsy causes of this
crazy war and he describes Won
Ribbentrop as one of the principal
ones.
