owers Talk Loudly Ot but Arm Faster Since Munich

Mussolini Presses Advantages of New Prestige;

French Factions Unite; Great Britain Fights for Bargaining Position.

By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor

The peace of Munich accomplished two things. > Lo In the power politics of Europe it restored Germany to a position of

unquestioned equality for the first time in 20 years.

It marked the break in a war fever that had threatened disaster incomparably greater than that of 1914. { Munich was a drastic solution by the Big Four of Europe supported by nothing more than a vague understanding that henceforth Great

Britain, Germany, France and Italy zation of peace. . The pact was adopted at the expense of Czechoslovakia, and indirectly of Britain and France. Now five months have passed since that historic meeting.

“Tension Increases

‘In that time the race for arms has become more swift, the protestations of peaceful intentions have become louder and the battle for economic power has begun in earnest. The nations of the world have bound themselves more firmly than ever into two groups which, for want. of a better label, are called dictatorial and democratic. Since Munich, there has been a steady increase in underlying tension, in the strain which vast armaments put on national economy and—most dangerous—in uncertainty regarding the future. Here specifically is the pattern woven since Munich: ~ ITALY—Premier Mussolini | is taking advantage of the new dictatorial prestige to make his id for a share of the profits in the readjustment of world power a d resources. His stake is in the Mediterranean and his first step was a friendship agreement with Britain designed to promise that he would make no grab at British interests and thus to weaken Brit- ' ish support for France. : His second step was to open a campaign of intimidation against France on the grounds that Paris robbed Italy of a fair share of the colonial booty divided after thg World War. Fascism expects France to make the next contribution to the new Roman Empire around the Mediterranean but any official demand on Paris has been ‘delayed for bargaining purposes.

Mussolini Aids Franco Premier Mussolini's third step was to throw greater Italian power openly into the Spanish Civil War in order to assure a Franco victory and to use Italy’s foothold in that strategic hation as a club to make France meet his demands and to hold off British backing for France.

FRANCE—Threats from msbroad have given a new unity to the French Republic, pushing well into the background the danger of economic collapse. She has met every threat from Italy with a, shout of defiance, although behind her bold front France appears ready to make certain nonterritorial concessions to the Fascists. France has no fear in a conflict with Italy alone, bit European developments generally have prompted _ her to call upon Britain with considerable success for pledges of unity in event of war. In recent weeks, both France and. Italy have greatly strengthened their armed forces in North Africa until the frontier between Italian Lybia and French Tunisia is probably the most dangerous spot in the world today. JAPAN—The militarist leader- + ship of Japan has taken advantage of British, French and American preoccupation elsewhere to have a field day in the Far East, where Tokyo has set out to establish a . ®*new order” under her domination. There is slight prospect of anybody trying to stop her, and dJapan’s stake in the world chess game is becoming similar to those of Italy and Germany. : * GREAT BRITAIN—The foundation of British policy has been to work. for peace, by two principal _methods. First, Britain is willing to grant limited demands of the dictators; that is, to make readjustment of the world’s riches so that the big powers may live together in peacéd. Second, Britain is engaged in unprecedented - armament designed primarily to put her in a position to bargain on equal terms with the dictators or—as a last resort—to fight them. : Hitler Dominates = *

GERMANY — Fuehrer Hitler emerged from Munich as the dominant figure of Europe, able to swing the balance either toward war or peace. Since then, he has moved in both directions at different times. He almost wrecked Britain's appeasement program by the Nazi ‘campaign of violence against Jews. . He did much to stabilize peace by _ signing a non-aggression pact with France. > He technically backed up Italy’s demands against France and told the world in his Reichstag speech that there must be a re-distribution of wealth to permit the totalitarian , States to live, yet he has been credted with urging Premier Mussolini lo adopt a moderate course in~the . Mediterranean. + The net result has been to ingrease Europe's uncertainty as to y everything except that Herr Hitler

POLICE STUDY 2 CLUES IN DEATH

OF COED DANCER

Three Theories Advanced; Correspondence, Other Papers Checked.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27 (U. P)— Incidents in the life of blond Anya Sosoyéva, beautiful dramatics student, dancer and movie-extra, were explored today by detectives frankly mystified by her murder on City

College campus Friday night. They were concentrating on three theories--that she was the victim of a jealous suitor, a degenerate or a Negro who had been frequenting the campus after dark frightening other girl students. Miss Sosoyeva’s last coherent words were that her attacker: was alone. Kenneth Kremith, City College student who helped carry her into an office of the Administration Building after she had staggered bleeding and crying to its entrance, quoted her as having said: s “1 was walking on the campus when a man came up behind me and asked where the Administration Building was. As I turned around, ne struck me on the head.”

Tells of Hectic Courtship

From Beulah Stanley, her dramatic coach and roommate, police obtained Miss Sosoyeva’s correspondence and other papers. They also obtained the names of several of her suitors and had questioned one, Keérmit Anderson, 34, an accountant, who lived in the apartment building where she resided. His alibi, that he was playing poker at the time of the attack, was accepted by police and he was released. : Mr. Anderson fold of a hectic courtship with the dancer, who came here from San Francisco a year ago ambitious to become a movie actress and of a mysterious income she received from a man known only as “Red.” He said he met her in August, 1936, was struck by her beauty and began paying court. The following June, he said, they quarreled and separated, but effected a reconcillation a year ago. Miss Stanley could not furnish any clue to the identity of the dencer’s mysterious benefactor, but police believed he was a suitor or, possibly, the husband of the dead woman. : The only tangible clues found so far were a pair of blood-stained men’s suede gloves and a section of green-painted two-by-four board also blood stained. _ County Autopsy Surgeon Frank R. Webb said he had determined. that the dancer had not been criminally assaulted. Miss Sosoyeva, of Russian descent,
