Statute For Europe"
Latest Hitler Idea


The Germans are expected 10 give
the statute plenty Of wind0w-dress-
ing IN order to increase It's prcpa-
ganda appeal. 10 Is assumed that the
statute will offer ostensible inde-
pendence 10 the European states,
possibly with special regional group
lngs such as o ''NOrdIc bloc" COM
prising Holland, Denmark and Nor.
way, and possibly q Danublan bloc
for the Balkans.
The Nazls even may intend to toss
some kind Of q bone TO Poland. This
suspicion Is bulwarked by the Nazi
tactics In deliberately building up
charges that the graves Of 1900
Polish officers taken prisoners by
the Russians In 1870 have been dis
covered near Smolensk.
The Nazi radio has broadcast the
story with fresh details daily, not
only by short-wave for points out
side Europe, but to almost every oc-
cupied country.
Propaganda analysts noted that
the story was designed particularly
to aid German efforts to united oc-
cupied countries and satellite nations
along the lines Of the familiar "anti-
bolshevik crusade"
II also was noted that the Polish
exile governments request for an
investigation by the international
Red Cross was followed immediate
ly by a request from the head Of the
German Red Cross for the same
thing.
The Nazi build-up obviously Is de-
signed to demonstrate fullest con-
tidence In the accuracy Of their al
legations. Some sources believe the
Nazis might 60 80 far as TO request

ysis Of Mani propaganda, both do
nestle and foreign, during the past
fortnight led competent allied au-
thoritieS today TO the conclusion
that Adolf Hitler again may be on
the verge OF announcing his often
delayed statute of Europe"
The so-called statute Is the Nazl
design for the organization Of Eu.
rope under Fascist auspices. The
concept has been trotted out pc.
riodlcally by Propaganda Minister
Joseph GoebbelS, but as frequently
shelved when propaganda purposes
have been served,
This time, there is a growing be-
lief that the deteriorating Nazi
military situation and Germany's
dependence on her satellites and
occupied countries for labor supply
and conscript soldiers, plus the In
creasing effectiveness OF the Allies
democratic propaganda. may induce
Hitler 10 attempt to carry the Euro
pean statute idea into execution.
It Is believed that Hitler and
German Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop may have advanced
the statute plan strongly In the
series of conversations held with
Hungarian, Rumanian and Bull.
garian leaders and also may have
put It up to the Firms.
While there has been no public
announcement that hitler has con.
ferred with the Firms, 1t Is doubtful
that they would be excluded. The
crisis In Americana Finnish affairs
may arise from Naxl pressure to
weld Finland more completely with.
