many must revise her whole atti-
tude toward Great Britain and the
European continent as the result of
a stop Hitler" drive, inspired Nazl
sources said today as Adolf Hitler
continued a series OF urgent con-
situations with his political and
military aides.
1t was intimated Nazi leaders al
ready were considering retaliatory
action against the United States
for a 25 per cent tariff boost on
German imports, and that similar
inposts against American imports
to Germany might be expected.
1t was indicated that as regards
efforts to form stop Hitler bloc,
the Nazi Fuehrer would await de-
yelopments.
But it was understood that some
development might be expected be-
fore the week end as regards Memei,
the former German area now under
Lithuanian sovereignty.
Well-informed sources believed
that Memel would be Incorporated
into Reich territory within the next
few DAYS.
Foreign Minister Juozas Urbsys OF
Lithuania concluded series OF
negotiations late last night with
Foreign Minister Joachim Won Rib
bentrop.

Brituin Invites
Powers to Unite

mier Benito Mussolini TO all
nounce his claims in the Mediter-
ranean next Sunday. the hot spots
of the international front against
Nazi- Fascist expansion were be-
coming clear.
Most urgent was believed to be
the Baltic coast, where German
troops have been reported-despite
Nazi press denials-to be concen-
trating near the Lithuanian FROM
tier.
It was reported that Poland was
insisting that any commitments
against aggression such as Britain
has asked eight other European
powers to make should include
safeguards to Lithuania.
A Nazi decision regarding Memel,
which is dominated by pro-Ger-
mans, is expected this weekend
when the Memel diet meets. The
Lithuanian cabinet, meanwhile,
considered precise proposals from
Germany regarding the future of
Memel. which it was expected to
hand over to the Reich without
serious argument.
At Stockholm. the Swedish min
istry of defense recognized the SER
iouS situation in the Memel area
by cancell{hg naval exercises
for the west coast and
in view of the uncertainty of the
situation ordering the
main coastal fleet to exercise in
stead in the Baltic sea.
Britain still awaited reaction of
the secondary European powers to
for a nine power declar-
alton against aggression-intended
as warning to Hitler against any
move in the direction of Rumania.
In this connection, the British we're
taking the attitude that Soviet
Russia's proposals for an immed-
late six power or nine power con-
ference was too slow a method.

France Holds Army
At Full Strength.
Speeds Industries

PARIS, March 81. CUP)-Premier
Edouard Daladier, acting under
emergency powers. announced to-
day that the class of army con-
scripts due for release in April
would be held with the colors. AT
the same time he put war industries
on a 81 hour a week basis to ensure
a big increase in production.
AS President Albert Lebrun near
ed the shores of England for a four
day state visit to King George, Da-
ladier moved rapidly to strengthen
the country's position in view of
the dangerous European situation.
By his order that April conscripts
were to remain under the colors,
he will increase the army by 10000
men. But further. he increased the
permanent army staff by 422 Off
GERS, to a total of 81 ,060, and added
$500 commissioned officers. He
increased the length of the training
period for reservists from Is TO 40
days for enlisted men and from 81
TO so days for officers.
AS a compensation to organized
labor for the increase in the work
ing week, the government provided
a bonus of 10 per cent for wages
between the 40th and 45th working
hours each week, and an additional
five per cent for wages between
the 46th and Goth hour.

same class.
Painted dusky grey similar to
the color of Japanese destroyerS,
the boat differed in form from the
orthodox American destroyers an

short and the stern was extended.
Instead of large numerals painted
near the prov as American de-

In answer, proponents of the

from the letter follow:
Il haven't any way of telling

merous occasions to obtain from
them an intimation tbuD
