WAR MENACE IN EUROPE • TO FLAY IMPORTANT PART IN ROOSEVELT FOREIGN PARLEY Arms Cuts and Renewal of Confidence on Torn Continent Will Be Major Aim of Statesmens’ Conferences. Thi* in the third i.i a eric of four articles on the meaning of President Roosevelt's historic White House conferences with Prime Minister MacDonald and other foreign statesmen, BY WILLIAM PIIILir SIMMS Scripns-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. April 19.—The ugly specter of Mars will play the ghost at the White House feast this week and next when President Roosevelt and a host of statesmen from Europe, Asia and Latin-America meet, to work out a plan to put the ailing world back on its feet. Restoration of political peace and confidence is an essential basis for all plans of economic restoration,' the International Chamber of Commerce's memo prepared for the forthcoming world monetary and economic conference will warn. Yet. not since 1914 has the world faced a more sinister outlook. Europe is splitting up into two armed camps, one Germanic, the other French. The lines still are not definitely drawn, as Italy and

England are not yet committed. But the explosives arc there, waiting for the spark. In the Orient the seeds of anew world conflict have b°en planted by Japan. China and Russia. In the shadow of tnese dangers, the meeting between President Roosevelt and Premier MacDonald, of Great Britain; ex-Premier Hcrriot, of France; Finance Minister Jung of Italy, and the new German ambassador, Dr. Hans Luther, will assume particular significance. Team-Play Hope Voiced Attaching supreme importance to the re-establishment of confidence as a part of his plan for anew economic order in the world, the President is prepared wholeheartedly to co-operate with the other powers to the limit allowed by American tradition and constitution. A consultative clause to the Kellogg Pact, and a world agreement regarding aggressor nations, almost certainly will be discussed. But that is not all. The Roose-velt-MacDonald meeting may lead to some definite Anglo-American team-play to bring home to continental Europe the folly of her political quarrels and her waxing armaments race. Great Britain and America may let it be known that if the two armed camps of Europe continue to refuse all offers of compromise, and war results from this unbending attitude, neither side may expect help, moral or otherwise, from either country, treaties or no treaties. Continental Europe Aflame Already there is a distinct British trend in this direction. Despite Britain's positive commitments under the Treaties of Locarno to go to the aid of France, if Germany attacks without provocation, or to aid of Germany ii\ the event French aggression, the conservative Lord Beaverbrook’s Daily Express declared editorially: “'The feuds and jealousies of Europe have reached that point which has been foreseen bv the realists but denied by the sentimentalists. “Germany is aflame with militant nationalism. Italy and Germany are united by a common triumph of Fascism. Vienna, still the vassal of Germany, has once more become the center of European intirgue. "Jugoslavia stands with a poised knife waiting for the onslaught of Italy. The Poles are watching the boiling couldron of the Corridor, and France looks over Europe with the impulse of terror to strike.

British Turning Against War

“It is a terrible picture and the hopes and prayers of all men are that sanity and self-control may yet avert the calamity that threatens the European continent. “But our task is uigent. “Groat Britain must declare in plain language that if Europe goes mad. she will not send a soldier to join in the melee.” Even in the Toriost of British Tory circles, it is said, the feeling is growing that unless both European camps yield a little from their present provocative attitude, another conflict will be inevitable. Hence, the warnings of Lord Beaverbrook and the International Chamber of Commerce. Utmost Pressure Held Need The the utmost pressure of some sort is needed to cool off the political atmosphere before the Geneva disarmament conference goes to smash, and before the world economic conference meets at London, everywhere is admitted. President Roosevelt absolutely is adamant, it is said, against doing anything definite about the war debts until Europe's unreasonable attitude is abandoned. In addition, both sides of congress practically are unanimous that, even outright cancel'ation would not scratch the surface of world economic rehabilitation as long as this fear-provoking uncertainty persists. Next: The Great International Money Problem. 3*Bo ASKING CLEMENCY OF NEW PARDON BOARD First Full Session of Group to Begin Next Tuesday at Statehouse. Three hundred eighty penal institution cases are scheduled for hearing at the first full session of the new state clemency board, it was announced today by Wayne Coy. secretary of the board.
