REDS AND NAZIS ? THREATEN PEACE Enmity Blights Development of England's New Policy of Isolation. Br th· Associated Press. The mortal enmity between Com munism and Nazi-ism Is maturing rap Idly in the fertile; soil of Eastern Europe, threatening to blight the de velopment of England's new policy of isolation from Eastern European af fairs. Russia and Germany, both governed by what appears as radical parties in American eyes, yet etch of which looks upon the other as antithesis, have begun again their old habit of viewing with alarm. Whether there Is any real reason for this alarm is a matter for future history to tell, but there certainly is enough dynamite' in the situation to alarm Great Britain, for Great Britain of late has shown a distinct desire to »teer clear of Eastern European entanglements. Downing Street Takes Hand. The present embroglio, however, is so intimately joined with Great Brit ain's foreign policy that Downing Street already has taken a hand di rectly in the matter, apparently de parting at once from the isolation idea, with, possibly, the hope of being able to return to It once more. The British Ambassadors to Berlin and Moscow have been ordered to take immediate steps toward clearing up the present antagonistic attitude of Russia and Germany toward each other. The tense situation developed di rectly as a result of the Franco-Brit ish agreement to recognize Germany's rearmament in the air by designing an aviation securities pact to be en tered Into by Prance. Great Britain and Germany, and Belgium and Italy as well. Hitler Refuse· With Thanks. Reichsfuehrer Hitler replied, with due deference to the diplomatic nice ties. that he was much obliged to France and England for their kind suggestion, but that he couldn't accept too stringent limitations on Ger many's defense air force as long as an inimical Russia frowned on Ger many from the east. He added. » ow ever. that he was willing to talk about the Anglo-French suggestions, intimating that some compromise ac ceptable to all could be reached. In his reply, he referred solely to the aviation of the Anglo-French pro posals. These, however, had also in cluded a proposal that Germany ad here to the Eastern European securi ties pact advocated and engineered by France and Russia, which would bind its signatories from agression against each other. This latter propoeal Hit ler completely ignored. LitvinofT Is Outspoken. Maxim LitvinofT, Soviet commissar for foreign affairs, disregarded old fashioned diplomatic niceties when he referred to Hitler's reply, however. He spoke right out, announcing in a broadcast to the press of the world that Herr Hitler would have to take the Franco-British proposals as a whole or not at all. Neither the Wilhelmstrasse nor Downing Street reacted to Litvinoff* broadside with any show of pleasure and Sir John Simon, the British for eign secretary, immediately instruct ed the British Ambassador in Moscow to confer with LitvinofT in an attempt to bring about an understanding with Germany. DIONNES' CHARGES DENIED BY GUARDIAN Red Cross Official Sayi Parents Were Not Rebuffed on Visit to Babies. B? the Associated Press. GRAVEHURST. Ontario. February 23.—W. H.
