word” in the negotiations over Ger
many's occupation of the Rhineland
March 7 and simultaneous denuncia
tion of the Locarno pact.
The third Reich, under the spell of
Der Fuehrer's patriotism, made It
clear Germany does not want foreign
troops on her soil, as proposed in the
Locarno power's suggestion for an in
ternational force to patrol a "buffer
sone” pending a new security treaty.
Nor did Germany like the aspect of
the decision of the other nations to
establish or continue contacts between
their army general staffs in her ab
sence from the consultations.
The proposal to invite Germany to
present its case against the Franco
Soviet virtual military alliance—on
which Hitler based his denunciation
of the Locarno pact—to the Perma
nent Court of International Justice at
the Hague was called unnecessary by
foreign office spokesmen.
Even the proposal to hold an in
ternational conference to consider
peace, revision of the League cov
enant, arms limitations and economic
relations drew criticism because it
added other items to Hitler’s offer for
25-year non-aggression pacts.
Hitler, It was indicated clearly,
came face to face with the same pres
sure which dis democratic predecessors
felt. He has condemned them for
having bent under that pressure, and
has asserted countless times that he
never would submit.
Britain was taken to task by the
Reich press, which expresses only "ap
proved” views, for its part in the pro
gram.
Newspapers declared there was room
for doubt whether Britain, which
urged Germany to send Its representa
tives to London, had kept the spirit
of its promise to bring consideration
of Der Fuehrer's proposals for a new
security system.
Hitler's own newspaper, Voelklscher
Beobachter, which relegated the ac
tion of the Locarno powers to inside
pages to make room for a glowing
justification of Germany's case by
War-time Prime Minister David Lloyd
George of England, called the pro
posals "Shylock’s Pound” and "collec
tive brazenness.”
"The Locarno powers must be aware
for once and all that Germany is
cured of the treaty of Versailles,”
Hitler's organ said.
The newspaper called the proposed
conference In May a “rabbit-in-the
hat trick,” by which Germany would
be done out of her rights, as the dura
tion of a new demilitarized zone and
suspension of refortification would de
pend on the lengths of the conference.
INVITE COUNTER-PROPOSALS.
Britain Asks Hitler to Express German
Point of View.
LONDON. March 21 (/F).—Official
British quarters announced today that
they had Invited Adolf Hitler to make
counter-proposals to the. tentative
plan of the four remaining Locarno
members.
These official sources said that the
Germans are free to express their point
of view and to make alternative sug
gestions for any provisions in the Lo
carno accord which they consider ob
jectionable.
Tempering the sharpness of the
peace plan announced in the British
white paper yesterday, London sent
word to the Reichsfuehrer that the
interim period during which the pro
posed International force would oc
cupy the Rhine zone would be "as
short as the British can make it,” and
possibly only a few weeks.
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden placed himself at the disposal
of Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler's
ambassador at large, saying he would
be available at any time the German
delegation wished to discuss the Lo
carno proposal.
Eden was preparing to go to
Chequers, Prime Minister Stanley
I
Baldwin's official country residence,
late today, but declared he was pre
pared to return to London at once
should the Germans desire a confer
ence.
Official French sources in London
pointed out that France had made
five major concessions in reaching the
four-power proposal. In return for
which they had effected a virtual mil
itary alliance with Great Britain,
Belgium and Italy.
The French listed as their conces
sions :
1. France took no immediate action
in the Rhineland as the peace treaty
permitted.
2. France agreed to a plan which
does not include sanctions or punitive
action against Germany.
3. France has dropped the stipula
tion that German troops must be re
moved from the Rhine zone.
4. France has agreed to drop the
Franco-Soviet mutual military assist
ance pact if the Hague Court of Inter
national Justice renders a decision
against the two-power treaty.
5. If The Hague court's decision is
favorable to France, she will not in
sist that Germany withdraw its
troops from the Rhineland.
Plans to Fly to Berlin.
Upon receipt of the British Invita
tion to make counter suggestions to
the Locarno proposal. Von Ribbentrop
planned to fly to Berlin today.
Plans to Fly to Berlin.
Upon receipt of the invitation Von
Riobentrop planned to fly to Berlin to
day and League of Nations sources ex
pected he would bring back sugges
tions for modification of the four
\ power plan for a Rhineland settle
i ment.
Adolph Hitler’s ambassador at large
probably will return to London Mon
day. German sources said, after week
end conferences with Der Fuehrer
amid intense behind-the-scene diplo
matic maneuvers.
The League Council was adjourned
over the week end, while the other
powers awaited anxiously Germany’s
reply to the program drawn up by
diplomats of Britain. France, Belgium
and Italy for liquidation of the crisis
aroused by Germany's Rhineland oc
cupation.
The invocation by Britain, France,
Belgium and Italy of Article XI of the
League covenant, provides for action
against any threat of war—with Its
Implication of possible sanctions Jf
Germany rejected the Locarno plan—
visibly alarmed some League repre
sentatives.
"I want to be absolutely sure that all
these measures are necessary and that
the last word has been spoken to Ger
many,” Foreign Minister Peter Munch
of Denmark declared last nlf;ht at the
secret session of the League Council,
to which the proposals were submitted.
Other Council representatives, notably
Foreign Minister Joseph Beck of
Poland, also Insisted the Locarno
powers should not attempt to push
their plan through the League before
Its huge, all-embracing proposals could
be considered thoroughly.
See Refusal by Germany.
Several Council delegates expressed
fear the Reich could not accept the
projejeted creation of a new buffer
rone In Germany under patrol of an
international force, to replace the
once-demilitarized Rhineland pending
formulation of a new treaty, or sub
mission of the dispute over the Franco
Soviet pact to the World Court.
British officials insisted, however,
that while their government hoped the
Reich would accept the program, It
was subject to mutually acceptable
changes and Germany would be given
time—presumably until after the
March 29 Reichstag election—to reply.
League officials, mindful of the faults
in the now-broken treaties of Locarno
and Versailles, saw in the proposals a
prospect of a new, more powerful
League of Nations.

Frederics "One-Minute"
Wireless Wave
This new Frederics method of permanent
waving is not a compromise with old ideas—
it is entirely-new in conception and principle.
Each curl unit is heated to just the right tem
perature and then attached to the hair, there
by eliminating the time one usually spends
under wires and heat.
The wave can be a large, loose, natural wave,
or small ringlets, but always soft without any
brittle ends. We particularly recommend it
for white or grey hair.
