exactly what the position is If he Is bent on swallowing not merely the German city of Dantzlg but the Corridor as well. After all that has happened this is the jVery least he intended,! and would have executed beforb now had hot his crushing of Czecho-SloVakin alarmed the rest of the world without excep­ tion, including his satellite Mussolini. Personally I have not the smallest doubt that having bitten off Dantzig and i the Corridor, Hitler’s next move, and after the shortest of intervals Ilf there were any Interval, would have been the annexation of the greatei! part if not the whole of Poland. Was not his Press preparing the ground by stating! that the Poland plum was ripe • for plucking ? Colonel Beck has firmly declined to be swallowed whole without resistance and i that, however It i enrages the madman of Europe and Europe’togreatest liar, must'make: him think agam fi! he is not all out if or another world war which will , be his end. • Cqlonel Beck hasidone Europe signal service in letting the bully know he is prepared to fight,;with or Without assistance from those who pijofess good intentions but are not quite sure: what they will'do. Italy m any event has no vision before her except that of pulling: successive chestnuts out of the fire for Germanyj and earning no substantial gains for hersclfj


I^LONBIi BECK has cleared the , air to ^ . the extent that Here Hitler knows|now


rr\HE.|Itallans, whatever ideas are at the back of Mussoltors mind, are rapidly


appreciating the^rue position ahd that la that if Europe iSipitchforkbd into war the' onq and single causbj of it’, is Here flitter. Perhaps that; observation nee’ds some .slight modiflca tion. It is beconiing) known more and /nore outside Genpany. that Hitler Is Immensely influenced. by ' tiidt i'iierfect bounder i and monstrosity ;Rlbbentrpp. Rlbtentrop wUli stop at nothing, not even' war, to gain his ends. Whether he,';will induce Hitler to cross the Rubicon timeiWUl show.: :fiut he is the preh- consplrator to the German scheme of things. Tradition has. it that Martin Luther wheii he wanted to pray most leffectlveiy thought of the Pope, which roused his ire to the ptoper pitch of frenzy. To Ike^p the German tonk and file going;strong in the Great. War it was necessary tojinvent a’Hymn of Hate. To-day the successor to these' things Is the Geitoan controlled Press,: -which ; boils overt at command. .;Pirst jit: was ,'Austria’s leaders, mainly Schuschnig'g, : then it was Dr. Benes, repmsenting Gzecho-Slovakia, now It is CoUnel Beck of Poland. The beating of the drums continue until the poor German populace are fully persuaded that Beck Is out to attack them and so justify their resistance, just as I when Britain sets out to organise a combination of peaceful nations to resist a patent ag^ebsor Here Hitter cries but “ En­ circlement, ehfcircliment!” This is the old game, but It is onb that is about played out It has dost Its effect , on the .public outside Germany arid it will hot be much longer
