1NEY1KERS
r i
By PAUL MALLON.
WASHINGTON. D. C. June 18.
What the world statesmen secretly
have been fearing Is an alliance of
Italy, Germany, Japan and, perhaps,
Poland.
That would line the world up for
war, with Prance, Russia and. event
ually, Britain on the other side.
Such unspoken thoughts agitated
the Inner diplomatic clrclea as Mus
solini and Hitler closed the door of
that Venetian villa the other day and
buzzed In each other's ears, without
even a stenographer or an interpreter
present. It 1 an interesting possibil
ity, but it will never happen.
Mussolini is too smart.
The Hitler-Mussolini meeting was
a. staged ahow. The producer was Mr.
Mussolini, who la the greatest show
man since Barnum.
He dressed himself all up In the
uniform of a fascist corporal. His
fascist put on the required demon
stration for him Just the same as fol
lowers of a presidential candidate
whoop up demonstrations for their
favorites In our national conventions.
To top It off, a dagger parade was
held with, the fosclstl marching be
fore Messrs. Mussolini and Hitler with
bared daggers aloft. The daggers
were aimed at the skies, but Mr.
Hitler got the point. He was In civil
ian clothes, the official pockets of
which are so empty he could not buy
daggers enough for a first-class
street brawl.
The hidden purpose of the show
was to offset the Franco-Russian alli
ance from a diplomatic standpoint.
That la not very much of a secret.
Messrs. Mussolini and Hitler are
the two European bad boys who were
not invited to that alliance party, At
least, Mussolini received a belated
Invitation, which he was not expected
to accept, and Hitler was completely
snubbed.
At heart, :Massolinrlt8llkes -France
as much as anyone. That is saying a
lot, because he also dlsllkea Russia,
Japan and Germany, In the order
named. In fact, the only one he really
likes Is Mussolini,
But his game Is to stay on the
fence In Europe, playing first with
one aide and then with the other.
That Is historic Italian foreign policy.
It was so even before the world war.
In the present Franco-Russian game,
Mussolini would rate no higher than
a substitute hairback. In the German
game, he can be a star quarterback.
Furthermore, he wanted something
from Germany now the Indepen
dence of Austria. To gain that, he
fought the German battle for in
creased armament at the various
European conferences.
You can get sincere assurances pri
vately in Itanan quarters that Mus
solini does not Intend to go as far
as getting tied up on a long contract
with second-rate war teams like Ger
many and Japan. He will act as If he
Is doing it, but he will not actually
do It,
Obtaining a pledge of Austrian in
dependence from Hitler now will heal
a European sore spot and realty make
war more remote. And next month
he will team up on the other side of
the fence.
It's a great game they play In Euro
pean diplomacy somewhat like our
log-rolling congress, only a little
dirtier.
There was turmoil backstage In the
senate when the administration's
compromise labor bill leaked out.
Floor Leader Robinson brought it
from the White House, looking
around corners as he went, so no one
would see him. He slipped a copy to
Republican Leader McNary secretly.
The next he heard, copies were all
over the prew gallery and had been
published In one paper.
Robinson warned newsmen that If
they published the bill they would
violate his wishes and perhaps also
the federal law against publication
of secret government documents.
Newsmen said that was too bad,
and, anyway, the bill was not a gov
ernment document.
What happened was this: When
McNary got his copy, he had several
copies made, so republican senators
could look It over and decide wheth
er they were going to support It. Sev
eral senators slipped copies to news
men and, in a few minutes, the bill
was all over the place.
The reason the White House and
Senator Robinson were so angry was
that the bill had to be materially
altered later.
Enactment of the railroad pension
bill Is supposed to have been part of
a deal made by the administration
with the rail workers several months
ago to avoid a strike. At least, that
Is the word spread among democrats
in congress, and it explains why the
measure was enacted so suddenly.
The reason the house cut down the
narl investigation appropriation Is
that the investigation has been slop'
py. Much good testimony had been
brought out, but not In an effective
or a striking way. The committee
members are mostly amateur con
gressional HUTstlcators. who paid

WASHINGTON, June 18. (AP)
Two lone strife -spangled bills, for a
railway labor board and to aid bank
rupt farmers, late today Impaired
otherwise good chances for congress
to catch night trains home.
An outright filibuster against the
railway labor bill tied up the senate,
but leaders hoped to be able to break
It and adjourn congress after appro
val of pending reports, adjusting dif
ferences with the house on legisla
tion both have enacted. This was
essential In order to get the adjourn
ment sought for tonight.
President Roosevelt's Influence had
been cast for putting the labor bill
over until next session. Its demo
cratic friends pressed on regardless,
however, and Senator Hasting (R.-
Del.) let it be known he would have
plenty to say should the senate vote
to take It up.
President Roosevelt, meanwhile,
decided to sign tonight the bill mak
ing it federal policy to have silver
back a quarter of the currency as
against three quarters gold.
He kept in close touch with canitot

he did not want the rail labor bill to

ON NAZTREGIME,
Franz Von Papen Scores
Hitler Set-Up for Attitude
On Religion and Press
Address Is Censored
By LOUIS P. LOCHNER
Assoclutcd Press Foreign Staff.
BERLIN, June 18. (AP) The
boldest public criticism of the nasi
regime which has come from anyone
in authority since Chancellor Hitler's
assumption of power in January, 1033,
was made yesterday by Franz Von.
Papeu, vice-chancellor and premier
of Prussia.
The sensational character of bis re
marks, delivered before students of
Marburg university, is best illustrated
by the fact that no Berlin newspapers
printed even an excerpt. Van Papen
In guarded language pleaded for the
re-establish men t of the monarchy.
Notice was served by the government-controlled
German news bureau
upon its subscribers that the speech
must not be published in Germany.
Von Papen, a Hitler "right-hand
man," challenged tho nasi regime's
claims that It must Impose Its will
In the realm of religion and severely
criticized muzzling of the press.
He took Issue with the nation-wide
campaign of Dr. Joseph Goebels, min
ister of propaganda, another of Hit
ler's leading advisors, against "grous
ers and croakers."
Von Papon warned against radical
socialist experiments, asserting they
held the possibility of a new "class
war."
Excessive use of slogans and the be
lief that the people might be united
by terrorism were denounced by the
vice-chancellor, who also serves as
minister of air.
He criticized the attempt to have
one political party rule Germany,. In- .
stead of making the new 'Germany
"tho real peoples' state."
Von Papen frankly admitted that
"the relch's government Is not de
ceiving Itself about the fact that ths
relch treasure of confidence which
the German people bestowed upon It,
Is In danger."
