M ffl KMTMS I f-tw i By PAUL MALLON (Copyright, 1936. by Paul Mallon.) " WASHINGTON. Aug. 25. It round ed like serious International business Then Hitler sent a dozen, warships to Spain. Under the outmoded rules or 1014 dl- diploma oy, It would have meant war. Na tions then talk ed less and fought more. Now, however, we have phonetic d 1 p 1 omacy. In measuring the 1 m p o rtance or the dally crises in Europe, it Is necessary ' to distinguish between Bound and substance. . Der. Fuehrer has learned from II Duee that it is cheaper to talk than to fight: that the one who talks loudest frequently does not have to fight, He has had no opportunity to show off his navy since he built one. Nor has he had an opportun ity to display his newly assumed Im portance for Germany In world af fairs. The parade of German vessels to Spain was accompanied by the goose stepping of grayclad nasi troopers at home. The people ate it up.

Italy promptly notified Brit ain of her acceptance of the French proposals for a Joint neutrality pact. This left the Hitler cheering sec tion suspended In mld-alr, but only for a moment. Britain promptly of fered a helping hand with the face saving suggestion that tho Spanish government offer an apology for hav ing searched one of Mr. Hitler's ships on the htgh seas. Note The only thing which really worries the -diplomatists. In this sim ple game Is that It is being plsyed with real ammunition Instead of blanks. ' The abject confessions wwen Rus sia generally produces from her po litical prisoners are olways amazing to American government officials. Usually the accused politician in Russia not only glibly admits the charges at hlsjrabllo trial but Insists that his crime was twice as big. The custom Is not widespread outside Russia.
