 Liable to Happen

Boston, June 20-tUp)-A victor. ious Hitler might be able to control the 2i, 000,000 Catholics In the United States through "brutal pressure" on the Pope, in the opinion of Douglas Miller, former U. s. commercial at- taehe at Berlin.
 Miller, who resigned his Berlin post in 1889 after ib years service, so spoculates In m article which ap- pears today ia tho July issue of the Atlantic monthly, The article Is an excerpt from his new book, "You Can't Do Business With Hitler" pub lished by Little, Brown & Go.
 If Hitler wins In Europe" writes Miller, "he will control the Pope, tho Vatican, the overwhelming ma. jority of the Catholic church, and It's central executive organization" ."
 Miller believes the present Pope will do everything In his power to preserve tho ancient liberties of Catholics living under dietators.
 "But how far will the Catholic church be able to protect itselfs asks Miller. Ut has no weapons oi force. Hitler is not open to reason of argument He understands tho logic of the sword alone. I fear that by the exercise of brutal pressure he can make the Pope an Involuntary prisoner and hamstring church ac. tivities,"

us. CONSULS IN
 GERMANY ACCUSED
They Were Too Active in Hurting Nazis; Turkey
 Has Assured Britain
BY JOSEPH W. GREGG, JR. United Press Staff Corresp0nAcnt)


 Berlin, June 20-(UP)-Authorized German sources charged today that American consular officers in Ger many had been working directly in behalf of the British secret service and had sent information to cen. tral organization in Washington where 1t was passed on to British au- thorities.
 The charge was made in explana- ton of an assertion that Germany had ordered the closure of American consulates In Germany and conquer cd country not in retaliation for the closure of German consulates in the United States, but as something Hong overdue because of the consuls' espionage activities"
 A spokesman added, however, that Germany decided to act only when the United States govern ment in complete disregard of in- ternational useage and without any justification whatsoever ordered the closing of German consulates."
 ConsuIs Too Active
 "News reached us of the con- stantly increasing degree of the &C., tivities of these consular officers, working directly in behalf of the British secret service and sending in- formation to central office in Washington where 1t was passed on to British authorities" the spokes- man added.
 "The closure of American consul lates, or rather the necessity for German intervention, was long over- due. The German government, how ever, generously respecting interna- tional regulations and consular agreements, had always avoided re- garding or treating these intoler- able conditions as reason for re- uuesting the closure of the Amer ican consulates."
