Small Nazi War Party's Contempt of Soviet Still Is Danger.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Times Foreizn Editor WASHINGTON, May 29.—Consummation of the pending viree- | power alliance between Great Britain, France and Soviet Russia, the opinion of military es here, put an end to the Raropen | war peril indefinitely. True, violet reaction against tre
alliance has already set in. The controlled press, on which Nazi]
Propaganda Minister Joseph Goeb-
bels boasts he can play “as upon an
organ,” has warned that the pact
may “set things moving.”
But that was to be expected. Ma- | jority opinion in diplomatic circles |
here seems to be that now, more than ever, hesitate deliberately powerful a bloc. Nevertheless, there is an equally well-posted minority here not so optimistic. There is a war party in Germany today, just as there was in 1914, and no outsider at this moment can say just how weight it has with Herr Hitler,
Russia's Army Riddle
The Nazi war party, while admitting Russia's numerical strength, holds her Army in contempt as a fighting force. They sav it would go to pieces after the first terrific impact of a major war. the Fuehrer shares this view 1s known. There lies the danger Admittedly Russia's internal situation may have weakened her. The purge is known to have removed many thousands of experienced officers from the grade of

division, her army may not be the equal of the German, she has more divisions—many more. With double the population of the Reich, and! double the number of troops under arms and in reserve, sheer bulk, hu- gE man and geographic, should play an important role in a possible conflict. Italy would find it difficult to aid Germany and Germany could not offer much help to Italy. Germany seize Danzig, for example, or the Polish Corridor, immediately and automatically would find herself at war those two countries, plus Britain, France and Russia. That is to say, Germany, with 87 million population, would face a coalition of well over 300 million well armed on land, sea and in the air.
Italy on Spot
All bv herself, therefore, Italy would have to bear the brunt of a
terrific war in the Mediterranean basin. She would have to face Britain and France, combinad on sea, France, Greece, Turkey, Britain and maybe Egypt on land and in the air. Often counted in on the side of the axis powers, Spain can probably | be declared out. Exhausted after a| long war, she would be likely to insist on remaining neutral. Britain and France could smother | Italy at sea Of course air power has materially affected naval strategy in narrow waters like the Mediterranean. Italy is strong in the air and the Italian peninsula practically cuts that sea] in two. But the problem of air pov ol versus sea power has vet to be s tled. At present, even the eal

Italy has reason to believe, the informant said, that Fuehrer Hitler does not intend to precipitate a crisis with Poland.

It was exvected that the Foreign Office would complete tomorrow or Wednesday two notes to Japan, one firmly rejecting Japan's claim to | the right to exert control over foreign areas in China as a war meas- | ure, and secondly refusing to concede Japan the right to enforce a naval blockade of the China Coast. Newspapers reported that if Japan joined the German-Italian alliance, the British-Russian-French might be extended to cover the Far East.
