I Adolf Hitler, preparing to reply to President Roosevelt's peace message next Friday, asked the smaller na tions whether they felt their security menaced bv the totalitarian powers as intimated by Roosevelt. Yugoslavia was understood to have replied in the negative to her big and heavily-armed neighbor. Diplomatic sources described the Dutch reply as "courageous" under the circumstances. In effect, the Dutch government told Germany that it did not at pres ent feel itself menaced. But, it was added, the Dutch government feels that ot lacks the "certainty" that the present "sense of security will per- I sist indefinitely." 1 ti . : I i 1 l : in an unofficial diplomatic manner were understood to be in preparation for Hitler's speech to the reichstag, ! where he presumably desires to dem onstrate by the replies that no peace pledges from the totalitarians are needed. The Agence radio said ths questionnaire included a query whether the small nations had en tered an alliance against the reich. Lithuania also was understood to have replied to the German ques- tionaire and to have amrmed that she had no fears of attack and had asked no one to come to her defense. The German diplomatic maneuver was viewed as intended not only as a reply to Roosevelt but as another move to break through the British French ant i-aggression front. Thus, Hitler would be able to insist to the small powers that, if they do not fear Germany, they have no reason to loin the so-called "encirclement" of the reich.
