Italy now would be regarded not as a contribution to peace but a surrender fo blackmail.” Chamberlain said Britain is engaged in rearmament which most people feel is essential for the maintenance ef peace, adding: “Lord Halifax's visit to Berlin marked the first attempt to explore the ground and it is hoped that in the light of the information then obtained, that matter can be pursued further. “Successive obstacles to negotiations with Italy adversely affected relations with that country. While we thought those obstacles were due to Italian action, the opposite view was held in Rome.

“Never Entered Our Minds”

“The suspicion grew up in Rome,” the Prime Minister continued, “that this country did not want conversations at all but was trying to lull the Italians into inactivity while Britain completed her rearmament and was

in a position to take revenge for Abyssinia. “That idea is fantastic and never entered our minds, but it is the idea held in Rome.” | Chamberlain then for the first time said Britain might recognize the conquest of Ethiopia. “Personally, I have always felt that formal recognition of the Italian position in Abyssinia could only be morally justified if it were found to be an essential factor in general appeasement.” Chamberlain admitted that the situation between himself and Eden became “acute” after a meeting with Grandi on Friday. “I became convinced that a rebuff would be deemed by the Italians to be confirmation of their suspicions and have disastrous effects,” he said. “An opportunity to break out of the vicious circle occurred on Feb. 10, when the Italian Ambassador was instructed to say that Italy is ready for talks of the widest possible character at any time.” Adding that the conversations would include both Spain and Ethiopia, he said: “Nothing in the Italian communication justified the suggestion that in opening negotiations we are sub-

Hitting to a. threat.”

will be submitted to a plebiscite on Thursday. The King declared that it would guarantee equality before the law of “all people of other races who have lived for centuries on Rumanian soil.” . 5 Under the Constitution, workers, farmers and ‘free professions will be represented in a Parliament, diminished in size, “protected from dangerous political factions.” Ten points were set forth: 1. Civil rights of women will remain unchanged. 2. Legislative bodies will continue to exist. 3. Rights based on agrarian legislation will remain unchanged. 4. The national “idea,” and the predominance of Rumanians in public positions, will be stressed. 5. The duty of all Rumanians to work for the Fatherland will be emphasized. 6. Public morale will be strengthened, and ministers working for the state will not be permitted, in the future, to hold financial interests in

| private business.

7. A special corps of state officials will be created to control “the honesty of the state administration.” 8. Injustices against landowners will be rectified and sub-soil wealth will be given to landowners. 9. Juries will be abolished; crimes will be judged by jurists only. 10. Parliament will build a new foundation and citizens will elect their representatives from professional groups. Individuals will participate in public affairs according to their personal work, and not according to “the orders of political parties.”

regarded here as confirmation of the belief that he will seek new adventures, possibly in Czechoslovakia, with consequent menace to world peace. The resignation of Anthony Eden

was considered here to indicate a

sharp change in ° British policy, spelling possible death to the League of Nations.

Italy Sees Edens Fall

As Duce’s Victory ROME, Feb. 21 (U. P).—Italian political quarters were delighted today with the resignation of Anth-

ony Eden as Foreign Minister in the British Cabinet, hailing it as “an=-

other victory” for Benito Mussolini.

Capt. Eden, because of his part in . organizing League of Nations sanctions in the Ethiopian War, is regarded by Italians an outstanding enemy. . Official quarters refused comment.

Tokyo Grateful for

Manchukuo Recognition TOKYO, Feb. 21 (U. P.).—Germany’s recognition of the Japanese conquest of Manchuria, announced yesterday by Adolf Hitler, will be an important factor in the stabilization of East Asia, a Foreign Office spokesman asserted today. :

The Foreign Office issued a formal statement which praised Herr Hitler's “immutable Far Eastern policy.”

(U. P.).—Adolf Hitler's declaration of protectorship over German minorities abroad was interpreted today as intervention in Cgzechoslovakian sovereignty. : However, the declaration had been more or less expected.

counted by the State Department because of his anti-Nazi sympathies, are believed to have fixed the limits of Hitler's European ambitions considerably beyond the scope of der Fe t's address yesterday to the Reichs in Berlin. Dr. Dodd’s appraisal of German aims became public today through a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee before which the former Ambassador recently appeared in ‘secret session. The member, who requested that his name not be revealed, told the United Press that Dr. Dodd had described a plan ‘by which Germany and Italy plan to carve out anew “Holy Roman Empire” on the Continent and in North Africa. Herr Hitler categorically denied in his address .yesterday some of the assertions attributed here to Dr. Dodd. “The crazy, stupid, brazen assertions about Germany in the last few weeks alone,” the Fuehrer said, “are simply revolting.” ‘The former Ambassador was quoted as having said he had seen maps in Berlin outlining the territories involved and purportedly including the Netherlands, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and the Polish Corridor for Germany in addition to Austria, where Nazi influence now js being exerted with unprecedented force. Italy was described as seeking a handhold in

Egypt, Palestine, Spain and Span-

ish Morocco, which lies across from Great Britain's Gilbraltar. ‘He was quoted as saying that German school. children are being taught that it is Germany’s destiny to control the Central European nations by right of blood, tradition and heritage.

The agreement will be extended to cover all of the company’s. 60,000 workers when the union convinces the management, through National Labor Relations Board elections or proofs of membership, that it repre=sents a majority in each of the 15 other plants.

speech with a long review of domestic affairs from the time of the Nazi accession to power. He laughed at" reports of disunity; _em-

s growing power. “Every individual, every institution in Germany is National Sociglist. Everyone is determined to defend. and protect National Socialism to the last breath .’. .

“I assure the world of the deep sincere love of peace of the German people. But this love of peace has nothing to do with weak renunciation and cowardice. Those who believe they can attack us with impunity will-find an iron resistance and see the German people unified. “There is no doubt I am the authorized leader of the Reich.” Turning to the foreign field he demanded colonies—*“I say once for all we are unwilling to Sceept credits or other promises in place of colonies.” 1

Denies Claims on France

He said that Germany had no territorial claims against France and he added that he had no differences with Britain except as regards colonies. Then he added: “The only factor poisoning relations is the unbelievable press cami » He criticized the League of ‘Nations. Since Italy's withdrawal, he said, Germany no longer thought of ever returning to it—“a body which failed to recognize obvious facts and buried itg head in the sand.” ‘Germany acts differently, he sald; it recognized the obvious. At that point he announced that Germany would recognize Japan's conquest, of Manchukuo. He condemned Russia, “the incarnation of the urge to destruction.” % Only Bolshevism would profit— not the United States or Britain — he asserted, if Japan were damaged. Japan, he said, was a defender of Western civilization. In the Far East, and~in Spain, the Fuehrer said, Germany wanted no Serio but only commerce. “But if Spain were Bolshevized the epidemic would spread elsewhere,” he said. He added that Premier Mussolini had saved Italy from Bolshevism. “The co-operation of Italy, Germany and Japan is a powerful factor in the Pacific,” he commented. Then he turned to press attacks on Nazi Germany in democratic countries: “I am no longer willing to tolerate further the unbridled slandering of our country. Henceforth we shall answer with National Socialist thoroughness.” Nor, he added, had German-

The Strauss Creed :—

British relations. been improved by the “tactless intervention” of British Parliament members who wrote him protesting against sentences imposed by German courts. “Newspapers which are worse than bombs ought to be suppressed,” he said. ; “In view of this campaign I have decided to strengthen the German Army to prevent the war menace,” he interjected. “Germany wants lconfident relations with all European powers. We are not to blame if this fails.”

Chancellor Hitler now turned to the German-speaking people cut off by the World War peace treaties, “10,000,000 Germans living in two neighboring countries”—Austria and Czechoslovakia. “It is impossible,” he said, “for a great nation to tolerate that brothers shall be persecu simply because they express feelings of racial unity. . . . Just as Britain defends her world-wide interests Germany defends her own more limited interests, especially to defend the political freedom of Germans beyond the frontiers.”

BOB BURNS Says: pore,

suppose when you read the fan magazines, you can get a pretty fair idea of the crazy questions the stars have’ta answer when they are interviewed, but you can see by the answers that the stars have just about the same kind of a home life as anybody else. The other day a writer asked a : star how long he had been married. The star says “Twenty-eight years.” The next question was “Were you ever struck by lightning?” The old actor says “Well, I probably have been, but when a fella’s been married 28 years, he forgets them little trifles.”

two forces, the officialdom. To the Nazis, the attitude of the high Army officers was a serious offense. They

virtuab “state within a state” and bring everyone into allegiance to the swastika. In the light of what has happened since, Chancellor Hitler merely was waite ing a favorable opportunity to take their advice. : Every indication today is that Hitler’s strategy has been successful and in accordance with the Nazi ideology that all power should be concentrated his hands. I believe that the Naz now gradually will “unify” the higher Army officers with the party regime and that there will be little opposition among the officers. Some observers believe this process -will take more than a year, during which the officers persist in disapproval, gradually will be eliminated.

Doubts Officers Fled

It should be remembered that the Army rank and file already sube scribe to Nazi ideas. The Air Force officers, in general, are Nazis. When the Nazis seized power, naval officers were given a choice between retiring . or going along with the party. Most of them went along. There is no reason to believe that the Army shake-up has gone fur ther than public announcements have indicated or that any officers fled the county. There is one paragraph in Herr Hitler's autobiography, “Mein Kampf” ‘which explains the basic reason for the Army purge: “National socialism imperiously demands the exclusive and unqualie fied recognition, as well as the come plete transformation of the whole of public life, in accordance with its view.. It is therefore unable to tolerate the co-existence of any-

thing that represents a past state of affairs.”
