WASHLN'GTON, March 13. Every
wora now being spoken In Europe
teems to have at least two mean-
ings.
Anthony Eden

that Britain la
honor bound to
come to the de
fense of Prance
and Belgium. It
was generally ao
Interpreted.
To the wise
diplomatic owls
here, tt also con
tained an oppo

site meaning.
It was a subtle warning to Prance
that no British Tommies are going
to help her to toss the Germans out
of the Rhlneland with bayonets. The
Tommies will move only In case ol
"attack."
Thus the current diplomatic war
progresses with words aa weapons,
and generally two-edged ones. The
game Is simple: Bitaln Is playing
ventriloquist, whistling with Prance
and singing with Gemany. It la a
practical game, designed to avoid
early hostilities. It will probably be
successful.
The French will noli dars to start
anything alone.
. The French are not well prepared
for offensive warfare. Their secret
plans have centered in making their
border Impregnable. They have an
enormous numerical superiority over
the German armed forces, but their
masses would be unreliable in offen
sive warfare ' on foreign territory
r
j Also Russia Is not sufficiently de-
"pendable from a military stand
point to be relied on. Bhe has the
Japanese on, her mind. Furthermore,
the Balkan allies of the French can
furnish a good military chorus for
a comic opera, but nothing more.
Prance, to fight, must have Eng
land, and England is going to be
wisely elusive.
The hidden lurking danger of the
Immediate situation Is not what
has been done ao far, but what may
be attempted by the League of Na
tions. The league la dead, but burial
has been neglected.
France may move to have the
league arise and Invoke economic
penalties (sanctions) to force Ttlt
ler's withdrawal from the Rhine
land. This would Infuriate der furore
and undoubtedly lead to border In
cidents. Events are disclosing that our Iso
lationist senators were not far wrong
