WORLD ARMS RACE MENACES ALLTREATIES Simms Sees End of PostWar Peace Pacts by Last of 1935. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Strippr-Haward farnon WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.—The world race for armament* is growing. Every major power Is scanning the homon with fear and adding to it* war strength. Prance, literally, is outdoing the Great Wall of China, one of the seven wonders of the wor.d and. unril now. the worlds greatest fortification. Prance already has spent SloO,000 000 ouiidmg an underground labyrinth of steel and concrete stretching 300 miles along her eastern frontier from Belgium to Switzerland. Now this line is to be extended to the coast at the English channel to head off Germany should she trv again to invade Prance by way of Belgium. Britain's Secret Mission Belgium also is strengthening her defenses, and Switzerland, fearing Germany might try to flanlc France’s impenetrable wall by pa-s----ing through Swiss territory, is fortifying against such an eventuality. Sir Maurice Har.key, secretary cl the committee on imperial defense, now is en route to the British dominions. He is on a "secret mission,” London reports, having to do with the 1936 naval conference and kindred problems. The dominions, it Is understood, will be sounded out with a view to consolidating the empires defenses. Britain plans to augment her fleet from 30 to 40 per cent, after 1935. She hopes, however, that Canada. Australia. New Zealand and South Africa, in turn, will add to theirs. England to Rale Seas Even though the British-Ameri-can ratio of five-five is kept alive, the aggregate tonnage of the British empire, plus its naval bases, would make her undisputed mistress of the seas. Sir Maurice is expected to sell this idea to the dominions. He very likely will hint broadly enough to make it perfectly clear that if the now virtually independent dominions expect Great Britain to help them in the hour of trouble, they, in turn, must be prepared to stand by the mother country. Russia has completed a Hindenburg line of her own along her western borders. She now is working more intensively than ever to make her far eastern positions impregnable. At present she is reported to have 250.000 picked troops in that sector alone, with food, equipment and munitions enough to stand a siege, even if entirely cut off from the west. Manrhukuo Armed Camp Japan continues quite as active on her side of the frontier. Mancbukuo is like an entrenched camp. From Mukden and Harbin as hubs, new lines of communication—by rail, improved highways and air lines radiate in every direction. Reports from Tokio indicate Japan is prepared to denounce the Washington and London naval treaties unless she is given either parity or next to it. plus a free hand to build any kind of ships she pleases within certain global limitations. By the end of 1935. therefore, there threatens to be left scarcely a shred of the post-war peace pacts and armaments limitation treaties.
