PEACE OR WAR RESTS ON NEXT GERMAN MOVE Hitler’s Reaction to Edict of League May Decide Europe’s Fate. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Beriiip.-Howsrd Forelrn Editor WASHINGTON. April 19—The gravest decision ever to confront one man since Bonaparte decided the Issue of peace or war in Europe is up to Chancellor Hitler today. Within less than 30 days of his thunderbolt announcement that the Reich had scrapped the arms limitation section of the Treaty of Versailles. the European nations almost with one voice have hurled back an equally thunderous “no!” Coming on top of the Anglo-French-Italian agreements at Stresa, the action of the League Council at Geneva. In the opinion of diplomats here, brings the old world to Its most solemn hour since the last gun cracked In 1918. Geneva's stand is taken to mean that the major powers of Europe have decided to put a very definite check on Germany’s rearmament. If she proceeds in disregard of the red lights thus turned against her. it is felt, the resulting situation will be serious Indeed. Revision Held Possible Chancellor Hitler, therefore, Is seen as facing these alternatives—to defy the tentative coalition now forming about Germany, and take the consequences of the encirclement thus brought about, or to accept an Invitation to meet with the other powers, And with them proceed peaceably to revise the hated Treaty of Versailles. This revision is now held possible. Great Britain. France and Italy have all signified a willingness to that effect. They simply say revision must not be unilateral. It must be done by agreement. Great Britain is known to be ready to go to any reasonable lengths in support of Germany's demand for anew deal. But this support Is entirely contingent upon a less belligerent attitude on the part of the Nazi Fuehrer. Faces Unique Opportunity Nor is Britain alone among the European powers in her willingness to reach a live-and-let-live understanding with Germany. The Polish ambassador lste yesterday called on Secretary Cordell Hull to explain the guiding principles of his country's policy. While Poland voted to rebuke Germany's armament stand, she will not consider projects which might make her the battleground of Northeastern Europe. She not only signed a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union, but with Germany as w r ell. She wants to be friends with both. Precarious though the present situation appears, therefore, diplomatic observers here are convinced Chancellor Hitler today faces an opportunity such as seldom happens in the lifetime of a statesman. Neither Britain, France, Italy, the Soviet Union nor any of the rest of Germany's neighbors want war, they say. Willing to Arbitrate On the contrary all are willing to make important concessions to prevent it. Accordingly, Herr Hitler could now drive an advantageous bargain were he to meet with them in conference. On the other hand. Britain, now the key nation of Europe, is known to be badly frightened over the trend of affairs. German armaments have proceeded beyond her worst fears. Herr Hitler, too, gave Sir John Simon a big scare in Berlin, both by what he said and the way he said it. Britain is convinced only positive action on the part of a united Europe can prevent war. She wants Germany to come into the concert.
