LONDON, April 80. UP)-Prime

government suffered defeats today
IN two by-elections for seats in the

The defeats were a political SEN

| The alleged peace terms hinged
on the following:

of Europe; Germany would con

tons for application to the Ger
man new order"
Germany would annex "a Suffi-
Gent part of Russia to complete

Germany would take the greater
part of French, Belgian and Meth
erlands colonies.
If these three points were &C

spheres"
Collaborate in arranging a sys-
tenn of free trade among the
three empires Britain,
America.
= A0AALAa
There was no disposition here to
doubt that Germany would make
such an offer if it thought it could
get away With it, especially as
with Teutonic candor it was based
on brutally cynical treachery by
Germany against Japan and by
Britain and the United States
against Russia and China.
Further. Goering, whose air
planes have slaughtered women and
children in cities of Poland, Nor
way, Holland, Belgium, France,
Greece, Jugoslavia and Britain, is
always advanced in instances like
this as good natured boz who is
always ready for peace.
There seemed no reason, however.
to believe that even if Germany
were sufficiently desperate to make
such a bid for peace it was silly
to think the Allies would
accept it.
The situation in Italy continued
to be, as seen here, that Italians
from the King and Benito MuSSo-
lini down would like peace and
would desert Germany to get it,
but were poWerleSS to move.
Rumors that the little king, En-
peror of Ethiopia" had thrown out
were disproved by the
fact that Mussolini yesterday con-
ferred with his SO provincial pre-
fects, seeking means to make
totally inadequate supply of food
suffice for the Italian people.
In the view here, Ital'; is as much
German occupied territory as any
other country on which Hitler's
new order has fallen, though dip
omatic quarters suggested that
alter this year, when Germany was
deeply involved in Russia, their
night be chance for the Italians

members of which joined up with Hitler, there were many homosex- uals. But of they were good fighters. Hitler didn't bother about their morals"
 Nearing 50, with things moving along in his grandiose pattern for remaking Europe, Hitler had time and opportunity, for the first time in his life, to find out about women. He had been morbidly timid about them when younger. But now he be- gan to learn about nudism.
 Nudity Hit Him Right
 Like many a man experiencing something for the first time, he seemed to feel that he personally had discovered nudity and wanted other people to enjoy it. For 1t Is beyond any doubt due to Hitler's ad- diction to nudity that the practice of nudisnl is so thoroughly approved by the Nazis.
 Books on the subject have been on free sale for at least five or six years again, copiousiy Illustrated with nude photographs, and with texts by official physical culturists.
 Hitler's occasional interest in oth- CT women caused him some trouble with Fraulein Braun. Although she was Self-effacing and ultraconsider- ate, in time as her hold frightened and became more permanent, she re. sented his attentions to other wO- men. She resented his sending a big spray of orchids to another woman, as he did. She didn't like having him bring young American dancer all the way across Europe in a spec cial airplane for one performance before him She didn't like having him send five-pound tins of coffee as Christmas presents to young &C., tresses nny wife and I knew person. ally the recipient of one such pack age) with a sTnirking little note that fin view of the scarcity of this com- mOdity" nt would cost you go a pound on the black rnarket) the young lady might be willing to ac- cept this "modIst quantity" since he had been able to get q certain amount of it.
 Fraulein Braun was jealous and made a couple of intellectual at- tempts at suicide by slight but un- convincing cuts of her wrists, Hitler didn't learn Of at least one Of these attempts until weeks afterward; his sycnophants such as Dr, Dietrich, didn't dare tell him for fear of get- ting him wrought up. There were weeks on end when he didn't see her and an intimate has told me that he goes for months at Q time without paying the slightest attention to wo. ! men,

Hitler felt, would give him the op- portunity to devote himself to lofty plans and theories for the whole of Europe.
 Facts On Emotional Life
 Close observation of Hitler over 12 years has enabled me to state these facts about his emotional life:
 1. He became attracted, in middle age, to Eva Braun and the romance progressed far enough for him to buy her an engagement ring and a wedding present.
 2. This romance led to two at- tempted suicides by Fraulein Braun, probably in an attempt to creat0 sympathy for herself and distract Hitler from other women. It also caused three attempted or suc- cessful suicides by her younger ad- mirers, but it is doubtful whether Hitler ever knew the real reason for their acts.
 3. A competent medical authority In Germany told me categorically that Hitler had homosexual traits and @aere seems to be no doubt that he was completely cold to women until he met Eva Braun.
 1. Since meeting Eva Braun, Hit fer has become attracted at times to other women, including the British girl, Unity Milford. But their rela- tionship remained on an idealistic plane. He was attracted to her be- cause he considered her a perfect example of Nordic beauty. She was attracted to him by an idealization so intense that when her country and Germany went to war she inflicted a pistol wound upon herself.
 5. Hitler indulged occasionally in eevels at which nude dancers per- formed, but maintained that his in- terest in them was purely artistic.
 Hitler Was Attracted
 Eva Braun was a young assistant to Heinrich Hoffman, Hitler's official photographer. Hoffmann sent her to Obersalzberg to take some photographs of Hitler in his home there. Hitler became attract ed to this olive-skinned, brown-eyed, healthy young woman. He began showing her little favors and cour- tesies and asked Hoffmann to let her continue to take pictures of him. She appeared at many of the Nazi func- tions, never actually escorted by Hit fer but chaperoned by the wives of men like Hess and Fraick, and sit- ting at Hitlers tablet
 By midsummer of 1888, she had her own apartment in the Reichs- chancellory in Berlin and at Berch- tesgaden, and the staffs at ~both places were calling her Die Che fin" the feminine form for chief, as Hitler was called by his staff among themselves. At that time I was all set to file a dispatch on Hitler's im- pending marriage to Eva Braun. l know that she had the ring, that Hitler had wedding gift--a beau- tiful Mercedes for her and that all car-prepared for her and that all that remained to be settled was the actual date of the ceremony.
 As it developed, could not send the dispatch because the steady rol. ling up of the war peril made 4 evident that Hitler had decided that marriage was not possible.
 She Tried Suicide
 Maybe he was relieved. Eva Braun had attempted twice to kill herself possibly bids for sympathy from the man whose colossal self sufiiciency she could never really penetrate.
 Moreover, at least three young men had attempted or achieved sui- eide because of her, not so much per-
