WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug 3. The
. best American authority (bar none)
on the hell-roaring Internal politics of
; present-day Eu
rope returned
hero a few days
go.
His Inside tale
waa told to of

repeated. His
rtews are so tart they would cause
t. ldcsnread International diplomatic
colic.
There is no reason, however, why
his story should not be told as the
most authoritative picture story of
Europe from the Inside now avail,
able.
It Is his view that there are no
secure governments in Europe today
except those of Italy and Russia.
Consequently, he believes the troubles
of Europe have only started.
A man would be foolish to say def
initely what can and what cannot
happen. The underlying situation has
such explosive possibilities that Im
possible things can and have hap
pened. But, if anything is certain. It
Is that there will be no war, no nation
pitted In pitched battles against an
other nation. There wlU probably be
everything except war Invasions,
more revolutions, sporadic fighting.
The reason there can be no war Is
. that no governments (excepting Italy
and Russia) are sufficiently popu'ar
nut trooos into the field. Even
England Is included in the category.
He actually doubts that the British
could get their troops to cross the
channel and Invade Germany.
He would not be surprised to see
internal trouble In England before
the next winter la over.
The French government Is so Inse
cure that no one can find out what Is
holding It up.
The only reason it stands Is that
the opposition has no outstanding
popular leader. A man with the ap
peal of Mussolini could atart a revo
lutionary movement in Prance that
would aweep the country overnight.
(Understand that this ia a conserva
tive man speaking, who has never
spoken so strongly before, on or .of.'
the record.)
Unquestionably, France ia facluh'
disorders. Large numbers of her peo
ple have not regained confidence In
their form of government since the

ramifications. -

sination as an excuse to stamp out

That Is why Hitler's peace offering
of Von Papon as ambassador was not
accepted at first in Vienna. The b:g
three nations behind Austria wanted
to wring a public promise out of Hit
ler that he would stay out of Austria
Hitler had nothing directly to .do
with the Dollfuss murder. He could
not have been such a fool. He prom
ised Mussolini to stay out of Austria
and apparently Intended to keep his
promise, for the present, at least.
But his nail agitators In Austria
kept up a bombardment of Incendiary
propaganda against Dollfuss. It final
ly became eo hot that nazl fanatics
went out and murdered the vest

Any sober nazl official would have
known that such a step would ru'n

German retch and people, Adolf Hit

that I will be ready as a brave sol
dier to give my life for this oath."
The ceremony of oath taking win
be followed by three cheera for the
new aupreme army commander who
la also supreme commander of the
Nazi storm troops and their black
shlrted brethren, the Schutz staffel
and by the two German national
anthems, "Deutachland Uber Allea"

sion men declared the Chicago stock
yards "open for trading" at 3 p. m.
(central standard time) this after
noon and prepared to resume busi

sion men would send out a call for
shipments later In the day, which

trading days in the big yards.
