Fearful France Sees Hitler as New Kaiser Dominating European Scene; | Small Nations Rally to Nazi Banner
Dr. Schacht Is Making His Hand Felt Strongly In Balkans.
By MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Staff Correspondent PARIS, Nov. 5.—Kaiser Wilhelm IT never was so close to domination of Europe, during all the days of the German Empire, as Reichsfuchrer Adolph Hitler is today, according to realistic views expressed In Paris, clearing house for international political, economic and military rumors. The military loan which France | recently accorded to Poland—the funds to be spent for equipment made in France—was a good gesture, from the Franco-Polish point of view, | How far, however, will these few | million francs go to block the stampede to Germany of famished Poland and the famished Balkan | lands, already tumbling, through | economic deterioration, to collapse? In weighing the answer, the condi- | tion of these lands is being care- | fully and sympathetically consid- | ered here. But sympathy and understanding are one thing. Capac- | ity to help is another. Europe Ripe Plum Here are some facts, as noted in Paris: { Poland is a land of peasants, who | comprise two-thirds of the population. The condition of Polish | peasants is disastrous. They have | not only gone back, in some regions, to the state of barter, but to an] even more primitive condition in | which each family makes all it’ uses, wears and eats, As in the Middle Ages, many | Polish peasants are making their | own shoes and clothes and are eat- | ing what they raise. They have no money. When time passes a little further, they will need to replenish their implements. How will they do it? That means that they, having no power to oe consumers, have ruined the market for internal] trade. That means that the trad- | ers, in turn, are slipping back to indigence. Many Jews are the traders and commercial folk in Poland. But the Jews’ lot in Poland is as bad | as, or worse than, in Nazi Ger- | many. The “cold pogrom” is at | work there. Jews already have been debarred from much indus-| try and business. Youthful Jews can look forward | to nothing except peasant life, since | thev are debarred from the universities. Since there are 3.000,000 Jews in Poland as opposed to half a million in Germany. the importance of this condition is easily seen. Militarism Held Remedy
Poland, like Germany, has tried to cure this collapse of economic life by turning its young men into soldiers. Militarism has become a sort of economic basis of existence. Almost half the national budget 1s now spent for military purposes. For the present, the system is a make-shift. For the future it can only be a disaster—except for war. The only result of such an adven=ture policy is war, if the policy continues or a change does not occur. Poland, therefore, is ripe to fall into the lap of Germany, the ace military country of Europe. The German rim of Czechoslovakia is facing indigence. This is because the border is closed to at least 20.000 heads of families who used to live in Czechoslovakia and work in industrial Germany, just | over the line, A treaty-state, Czechoslovakia is in a trap, hemmed | in geographically by enemies. Dr. | Eduard Benes, Czech Foreign Min- | ister. must make terms with Ger- | many. Dominance Established
Tn the Balkans, German dominance already is well established. In | Jugoslavia, conditions were ap-| proaching those of Poland when Dr. | Hialmar Schacht stepped in. He | made a bland and very comforting | offer, not long ago. Germany, he | said, would take Jugoslav grain, | meat and other produce, and would | pay for it—in war material. | This helped Jugoslavia by allow- | ing the farmers to live and work. It helped Germany too, doubly. As | with most such agreements, part of the bargain was that Germany should send military instructors | with the German armaments. Not | only would Jugoslavia pay these in- | structors, but eventually, it seems | clear in Paris, Germany would con- | trol the Jugoslavia war machine. An incidental benefit for Germany | is that she can unload old models | on her friends. That clears the] ground, without great loss, for the | modern equipment which Nazi ar- | senals are now stocking. Dr. Schacht is a brilliant nego- | tiator. The same procedure now is | projected in Hungary and Bulgaria. The German sweep is moving eastward.
Dream Coming True

How 9-Power Peace Parley Is Operating
BRUSSELS, Nov. 5 (U. PJ). —The Nine-Power Treaty under which the Far Eastern Conference was called here provides: 1. That all signatories agree to respect China's territorial and administrative integrity and independence and give China the “fullest and most unembarrassed opportunity to develop and maintain for herself an effective, stable gov=ernment.” 2. The principle of “equal opportunity” for commerce and industry of all nations in China. 3. The signatories agree not to take advantage of conditions in China to restrict the rights and privileges of friendly states in China. It also provides that whenever a situation arises which, in the opinion of the signatories, “involves the applica~ tion of stipulations of the present treaty and renders desirable the discussion of such application, there shall be full and frank communication between the contracting powers concerned.”

mania has the oil.
Recent events, Paris perceives, have done much to clear this prob- | lem. Chief of these matters was the dismissal of Foreign Minister Nicolas Titulescu, Francophile, Nazi-hating great statesman.
Titulescu, Paris hears, actually was dismissed because he fathered the building of a railroad through Rumania to the Czechoslovakian border. Such a line would have great strategic use for Russia in the event of a German offensive. Titulescu was the last anti-Nazi| statesman in office in Rumania. The way seems clear for Germany | today.
