OLITICS. PERTINAX ‘With charity for all toward m So far as the Republicans are con- cerned the political maneuvering is “all over but the shouting.” But there pes be plenty of that before June 24 Tolls around. “Much of it will be biting in char- acter for the primary campaign will be hot and bitter. The atmosphere of the two conventions just closed, here proved that. But there are abroad in the land that more than sensationalism will be necessary to win. The antag- onisms and hates which flared s0' strongly during the last few campaigns have abated somewhat so far as the people are concerned. The candi- dates may talk a lot but on the part of the public there will be less speech and more 9 * # # The Long Vacation Congressman William Lemke and Usher Burdick and State Auditor Berta Baker will have fewer worries and less to do during June than the other Republican candidates, since all’ received the endorsement of both Nonpartisan groups. Both Lemke and Burdick kept pret- ty much out of the battle here this week, although both of them are known to have their preferences. That they will continue to keep out is a foregone conclusion for their bread ls buttered on both sides. It doesn’t necessarily follow bu! the likelihood is that these three witl take long vacations during June, be as interested in the fishing as in the ‘outcome of the election. This is partic- ularly true of the two congressmen, for congress will not be in session then, The attitude of the two other na- tional officers who also are Nonparti- sons is uncertain. Before the conven- tions Senator Frazier expressed him- self as favorable to Governor Wel- ford’s re-endorsement but he didn’t get so far into the League's roilly wa- ters that he cannot get back—if he wants to. Whether he will come out openly for Welford in view of the now open split remains to be seen. ee # Frasier Likes to Go Fishing, Too The best bet is that if any of ctl four officers in Washington takes to the hustings it will be Nye in a cam- paign for Welford. If Langer hap- pened to win this year it might be tough sailing for Nye in 1938 when he next is due to run for re-election. zee Roosevelt Is Nominated Some wild-eyed observers not s0 long ago were commenting on the possibility of President Roosevelt hav- ing to fight for the Democratic presi- dential nomination. In such cases the wish seems to have been the father of the thought, as witness the dem- onstration this week in a Georgia’ county where Roosevelt won over Governor Talmadge five to one. One county doesn’t mean the whole state, of course, but that five-to-one margin apparently does.

At any rate, it isn’t much, ‘The powers that be in the party— and some independent observers—feel that he is too close to President Rpmerelt to offer more than tech- nical opposition as the Republican candidate.

March 7.—()}— Scores of disgruntled farmers, listen- ing to technical committee reports at & regional conference here Saturday, openly demanded a “common sense” explanation of the $500,000,000 federal soil conservation program. The new program provides, as a suc- cessor to AAA production control, for payment of subsidies to farmers who divert commercial soil-depleting crops to soil-conserving uses. W. H. Robertson, Auburn, Ala., planter who Friday threw into con- fusion a session called to hear Secre- tary Wallace speak, said he did not intend to go home until he knew what the new program would provide. Robertson’s question concerning the in|@mount of soil-conserving subsidy Payments to the south remained un- answered. Robertson said he believed all farm- ers attending wanted specific inform- ation which was not offered. Other farmers, less outspoken, ex- pressed disappointment. that they had ‘been given no definite plans and said they could not afford to wait another week or 10 days before beginning their planting operations. ‘MINOT MAN'S BODY IS FOUND IN RIVER Railroad Section Worker Miss- ing Since Dec. 19; Death Cause Undetermined Minot, N.

The body, clad in overalls, heavy T-lieather jacket and overshoes, was readily identified by friends of Ge- lakes. Police had searched for him since his disappearance about Dec. 19. Gelakes had lived alone. His only known relatives live in Greece, his native country, friends said.

Paramount Theatre C ONTINUE D from page one’ Treaties Violated As Germany Orders Troops Into Valley more than ever, to help bring about understanding among peoples of ‘in | Europe, especially among our western peoples and neighbors. “Thus, after three years, I believe I can consider with today the fight for German equality as concluded!” Before that, Hitler had told the for- eign envoys that the Rhineland reoc- cupation by several battalions of the reichswehr — reguar army — would be as unostentatious as possible, a dra- matic symbol that Germany at leas! is free of her bonds of “humiliation.” Colongne Cheers Troops But with brass. band music and anti-aircraft guns, the first detach- ment marched into Cologne, through narrow streets aflame wtih waving Swastika flags and before a wildly cheering population. The soldiers had waited for orders at the border of the demilitarized zone throughout the night. Der Fuehrer packed into his 2-hour Reichstag speech and diplomatic dec- laration more action and more pro- Posals than Europe has heard on one occasion for years. He said: a Germany is freed from Locarno be- cause the Franco-Russian treaty vio- lated it. German troops are moving into the demilitarized zone created by the sev- en-power mutual security pact. Germany is ready to create a new demilitarized zone, provided France and Belgium create one in their ter- ritories, too. Ready to Sign Pacts Germany will sign non-aggression pacts with France and Belgium in the west and with Lithuania in the east providing Lithuania agrees to respect the autonomy of Memel territory. Germany will sign an air pact with her western neighbors and is willing to have Italy and Great Britain guar- antee these pacts. Holland, too, may Join if it desires. Germany would reenter the League; of Nations if that organization is dis- associated with the treaty of Ver- sailles, for with reentry of troops into the Rhineland and the freeing of all German soil, the reasons for the Reich’s withdrawal from Geneva no longer exist. The memorandum to foreign pow- ers was incorporated in the Reich- stag speech. Friendship Violated It declared France had “replied to the friendly offers tendered it again and again by Germany and to Ger- many’s assurance of friendship by vi- Olating the Rhine pact, and by sign- ing a military alliance directed ex- clusively aganst Germany. “Germany, therefore,” the memor- andum went on, “no longer considers herself bound to this now defunct pact.” ‘The docyment then announced the Reich, “in the interest of the prim- itive right of a nation to secure her own borders and to safeguard her pos- sibilities of defense,” was reclaiming “full unmitigated sovereignty of the Reich in the demilitarized zone of the Rhineland.” It conchided with Germany's pro- posals “for erection of a system of new European peace safeguarding,” the last of which said: Grounds Removed “Now that Germany's equality at last is finally achieved and full sov- ereignty over the whole Reich terri- tory is reestablished, the Reich gov- ernment regards the principal grounds for its withdrawal from the League of Nations removed. “It is ready to reenter the League in expectation that in due course, by amicable negotiation, the question of colonial equality as well as the question of separation of the League of Na- tions covenant from its Versailles base shall be cleared up.” . Leading up to his attack on the Franco-Russian pact, Der Fuehrer declared he had “again and again; tried—unfortunately but too often in vain—to build a bridge of under- standing reaching over to the French people.” ae pleaded: “Why shouldn't it be possible to break off the purposeless quarrel of centuries, that did not and could not bring a final decision to either of these two peoples, and to substitute for it considerations of higher com- mon sense? Want No Suffering “The German people are not inter- ested in having France suffer, nor vice versa.” He did not, he said, “decline co- i operation with Russia, but with the| Bolshevism that lays claim to ruling the world.” “I do not want,” Hitler told his reichstag, “the horrors of Commun- istic international dictatorship and hate to descend upon the German people.” Again he warned the world of the “inroads of the destructive revolu- tionary Asiatic conception of life,” and said he “trembled” for Europe, should “the chaos of the Bolshevik revolution prove successful.” Hitler said the Soviet had 1,350,000 men under arms and a vast military reserve, tank and air power, and de- clared this gigantic army would com- pletely upset Europe's balance of pow- er, were it allowed. Disclaims Land Claims He disclaimed “territorial claims in Europe” and pledged his people to “do everything that will bring to realiza- tion the high ideals of peaceful co- operation.” He concluded with a plea that Ger- many “strengthen me in my faith” and to “support me in my struggle for real peace” at the elections late this month. Der Fuehrer was in campaign form, Repeatedly his words brought the reichstag to its feet. When he an- nounced the reoccupation of the Rhineland, his hearers rose and stood shouting and beating their hands to- | gether for fully five minutes, Continually, the members shouted “Sehr Richtig!” (quite right). Dodd Hears Speech The American ambassador, William E. Dodd, sat in the front row of the diplomatic gallery, but the French and British envoys remained at their embassies to keep their governments informed of the swiftly-moving de- inherent in this treaty which toox Possession of the general mentality et people,” he said. The decision to occupy the Rhine- land, thus violating both the Locarno Pact and the treaty of Versailles, was understood to have been opposed vi- olently by Dr. Hfalmar Schacht, fi- nance minister, and the question of his resignation became acute. Gen, Hermann Goering, air minis- ter, Was reported to have been the prime mover in the abrupt develew- ments. . Evacuated In 1930 The Rhineland was evacuated June 30, 1930, by the last of the allied forces who entered shortly after the close of the World war and remained for 12 years. Under the Versailles treaty the Rhineland could have been occupied until 1935, or even longer under cer- tain conditions, Under treaty provisions the left bank of the Rhine, including rougniy all the territory between this princi- pal German river and Belgium and Luxemburg, should be occupied in three zones. The northern would be demilitarized after five years, the next evacuated af- ter 10 years, and the last, provided Germany faithfully carried out the terms of the treaty, after 15 years. Left Right Bank A strip on the right bank of the Rhine 50 kilometers wide was to be demilitarized by the German govern- ment. The demilitarization and allied oc- cupation were intended to guarantee execution of the treaty terms and to insure France and Belgium against German aggression, Although the American army of oc- cupation was withdrawn by Jan. 10, 1923, British, French and Belgian velopments. Hitler, sometimes clapping both hands together, sometimes waving his arms, drove his points home swiftly, from one surprise to another, until the jaws of the deputies and his lis- teners in the galleries almost literally dropped open. Each time the surprises were fol- lowed by thunderous applause. After’ his speech, returning to the chancellery from the reichstag, Der Puehrer drove through solid lines of waving and shouting crowds which had heard the address by radio. In front of the chancellery, thou- sands were massed to give him an ovation. Gen. Hermann Goering opened the fateful reichstag session immediately after these communications were made, The session began at 12:01 p. m. (6:01 a. m. EST) and exactly two minutes later, Der Puehrer began speaking. . He arrived at the reichstag just be- fore noon, snappily reviewed a unit of his black guards and went to the rostrum in the Kroll Opera house, op- Posite the old reichstag. Troops were in evidence at Ander- nach, Deutz and Cologne, in the Rhineland, and military planes be- gan to fly over Cologne, the city on the Rhine in western Germany, at noon, Adolf Hitler, before the reichstag in the moment of crisis, opened his address with a historical retrospect of the World War, paying tribute especially to Woodrow Wilson, “whose conceptions in which a new era and a better world were envisaged have reached the ears of humanity.” Accepts Wilson Thesis Der Feuhrer acknowledged the Wii- son thesis of “‘an endeavor to give new laws governing the relations of peoples toward each other and to fill them with a new spirit from which an in- stitution might grow that, as a league of all] nations, might be destined to bring peoples nearer each other in mu- tual regard and understanding.” “No people feel for the magic power of this fantasy more than the Ger- mans,” he declared. Hitler asserted, “that the entire world fell into this period of lasting tension and continued crisis must be ascribed to a lack of common sense with which the problems of the na- tions were treated both individually and among each other.” Then followed Der Fuehrer’s oft- repeated strictures against the treaty of Versailles—the treaty which ended the World war, and the military clauses of which he had already shat- tered with his announcement of re- armament of Germany. He declared Versailles was a class- ical example of how a war should not be ended. Says Covenant Worthless The League of Nations covenant, he continued, became worthless because it tied up with the Versailles treaty which he sald divided the world into victors and vanquished. “Worst of all is the spirit of hatred CAPITOL Sat.
