HITLER BOUND IN IRON RING' OF ALIEN PACTS Peace of Europe Thought to Hang on Decision of Chancellor. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Svrlpps-Howard foreign Editor WASHINGTON. July 17.—1 t would be no exaggeration to say that the future of Germany and the peace of Europe well may depend upon major decisions now definitely up to Chancellor Adolf Hitler. Every capital in Europe today was anxiously, and none too hopefully. awaiting some word from Berlin indicating whether Germany would fall in line with the new continental peace lineup, or defy the “iron ring'* which has formed about her. Dispatches indicate that Rome, following London. favors the Franco-Russian proposals for an “eastern Locarno” which, with the existing pacts, would safeguard Europe's principal frontiers. Everything now depends, therefore, upon the attitude of Germany. If she comes in the outlook for European peace will se*m more hopeful than it has at any time since 1918. One Power Against Many Should Germany refuse, automatically she will become one country of 65,000,000 surrounded by a round dozen nations with an aggregate population of 280,000,000. all determined to check her should she resort to the sword to cut her way out. Seven treaties were negotiated at Locarno in 1925. The chief one was the treaty of mutual guarantee between Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and Belgium. The others were treaties mainly of arbitration. According to the protocol, the pacts were designed to preserve the respective nations ‘ from the scourge of war and provide for the peaceful settlement of disputes of every nature which might eventually arise between them.”

How Pacts Operate They provide for maintenance of the territorial status quo between France and Germany and between Belgium and Germany and observance of the articles of the treaty of Versailles, setting up permanent demilitarized zones along both side of the Rhine. Both Britain and Italy stand as guarantors. Should France or Belgium attack Germany, they are pledged to go to Germany's assistance. They are to do the same for Belgium and France should Germany be the aggressor. What FYanee and Russia now propose is to negotiate similar pacts covering Germany's eastern frontiers. Though they would not appear this time as guarantors. Italy and Great Britain have signified their approval of the scheme. Poland. the small Baltic states and the Little Entente, however, would be parties, as well as the Soviet Union and France. Such is the "Locarno of the East.” If it succeeds. Europe would be covered by a vast network of pacts of mutual assistance against aggression. Hitler Is "On the Spot” The new setup puts Adolf Hitler between the devil and the deep sea.' His dream of creating a Third Reich embracing all persons of German blood in Central Europe seems doomed unless he is willing and ready to fight. He rode to power largely on fiery’ promises to free Germany from her present confines. To sign an "Eastern Locarno,” for him would mean backing down on some of the main planks of a platform forvwhich he has been spellbinding for more than a decade. His already weakened prestige might not stand the added strain. Refusal to join with the others means the final encirclement cf Germany, further deepening her already desperate financial and economic plight. In his speech- of Friday the thirteenth. Hitler hinted that Nazidom is prepared to defy the rest of the world. He indicated she could stand the siege. Her scientists and engineers would find a way. perhaps by producing "ersatz'' food and materials to make the country selfcontaining. This observers gravely doubt. Similar conditions in 1918 brought revolution. The chances are that history would re;-eat.

PEDDLER HELD AS SUSPECT IN KIDNAPING CASE Police Lack Clews in Hunt for Bobby Connor; Search Is Continued. By United Press HARTSDALE. N. Y., July 17.—An itinerant peddler who talked in vague terms of a shadowy past was held by police today as the only suspect and possible clew to the enigmatic disappearance of Bobby Connor. The child, if still alive, was twenty-one months old today. Except lor arrest of the peddler, Harry Lee Forestier, 51, police and federal agents were at a stone wall. Forestier was arrested because he was seen in Hartsdale Manor Thursday when Bobby disappeared in a wooded section near his home. After prolonged questioning, authorities said they had uncovered nothing to link him with the boy's absence. He was questioned further today. Police said he professed not to have heard of the child's disappearance until' his arrest. They said he talked mysteriously of his wandering career and admitted he once had been in an institution for mental treatment. Forestier was identifed, police said, by Mrs. Charles Connor, mother of the missing boy, as the cosmetic peddler who was in Hartsdale and frightened several housewives with his rambling talk. Remembering the Lindbergh kidnaping case, in which the body of Charles Lindbergh Jr. was found in a woods weeks after searchers had trampled over the area, authorities directed another thorough search of territory surrounding the Connor home late yesterday. Firemen, CWA workers and Boy Scouts carrying sticks and poles went over the area minutely, overturning every rock and prodding every pile of underbrush.

EGG SHORTAGE FEARED BECAUSE OF DROUGHT Poultry Supply Also to Be Curtailed U. S. Bureau Says.
