Senor Enrique Carlos gde la Casa, & veteran ‘of 20 years in the Spanish | diplomatic service, has been appointed Charge d' Affaires here, it was an- nounced by the Spanish Embassy last | night. i He takes over representation of his eountry as the result of the resigna- | tion of Ambassador Senor don Luis Calderon, who gave up his post when Communists entered the Spanish cab- inet recently. The retiring Ambassador has trans- ferred the papers and control here to De la Casa, it was reported unoffi- cially. The embassy staff said it did not know if he was returning to Spain. The Charge d'Affaires came to the United States about a year ago and has been Spanish consul at San Francisco. The announcement said his present designation “is due not only because he has the confidence of | the government, but also because he | was the ranking consu! among the | diplomatic officers remaining.” In assuming his duties here the Charge d'Affaires said: “It is my aim to continue and enhance” the genuine spirit of friendliness and the | sincere sympathy that exists in the | relations between Spain and the | United States. I feel confident that to my efforts I can enlist American | public opinion, whose desire to keep those friendly relations with my coun- | try and my government has been amply shown in this hour of crisis. According to reports, unconfirmed in | official circles, the Loyalist Spanish | ‘Government has selected Fernando de | los Rios to be the new Spanish Am- bassador to the United States. Attaches | at the Embassy would neither confirm | nor deny the report, although the Dbame was mentioned in other‘circles. Brown (Continued from First Page.) an aggressive war. That is sufficient for the Berlin generals, since they do not intend to cross the Rhine and at- tack France. Furthermore, Yugoslavia has refused to be drawn into the dan- gerous Russian entanglement. In Rumania, things are changing, too. The German propaganda has been hard at work; the government has spent a considerable amount on pro-German Rumanian politicians and the result of its effort has been that the great friend of France, For- eign Minister Nicholas Titulescu has been pushed out of office while he was taking things easy on the French | Riviera. The new government, while protesting its faithfulness to its French ally, has distinct pro-German | tendencies. But the propaganda of | the German government would not have succeeded had it not been for the fact that the Rumanian generals realize that with the new German | fortifications on the Rhine Prance | could not come to their rescue in| case of another conflagration. Austria’s Accord Assured. Austria, at the present moment, is as closely affiliated with the Reich as she ever will be. Hitler, through Von Papen, dictates to Schuschnigg in Vienna. The Austrian chancellor is not appointed by Berlin, but is kept in power by the German government, and will remain at the head of the government of the republic as long as Berlin wants him to stay. Admiral Horty, the regent of Hun- gary, has always had pro-German feelings. But he never dared come out in the open with them; he was scared of what the Little Entente might say. Two weeks ago he went to see Der Fuehrer at Berchtesgarden to discuss the military precautions he ought to take in case of a German- STUBBORN IIIIEIIHATISM | was not the psychological moment for | advised him not to rush things, but | did Incidentally, he promised him a | [ as the outside world might think.

Her army is not | strong enough to bother the Soviet and Horty wanted to know whether thus | his country to throw off treaty restric- tions and begin to rearm. Hitler has | get prepared slowly and wait for®the psychological moment, as Germany substantial quantity of war material which is being earmarked in the Ger- man arsenals for the disposal of the Hungarian government. Poland, despite the exchanges of | cordial visits between the chief of staff of the French army and the | chief of staff of the Polish army, fully realizes that she cannot count on French assistance in case of war, and is as determined as she was in the days of Marshal Pilsudsky to play with the French and the Germans. Czechoslovakia alone is still “faith- ful to suicide” to France, but the main reason for this faithfulness is that Berlin won't hear of any kind of friendly arrangement until the Czechs give up their recent alliance with Russia and there 1s a thorough change in the treatment of the German mi- norities in Czechoslovakia. Alliance Not Air-Tight. While in Prague I was told definitely that the government is endeavoring to settle by stages, the question of its German citizens and that the al- liance with Russia is not as bindiug | would certainly not work in case the | Russian- were the aggressors. In Berlin I heard a different tune that they represent only 51 per cent of the total population of the coun- try and want to subject the other 49 per cent to their rule. They are treat- ing shamefully their German citizens. Furthermore, they have allied them- selves now with our arch enemies, the Russians. Under these circum- | stances, public opinion in Germany is bounu to prevent Der Fuehrer from | negotiating any agreement with the Prague government. We understand why, since they have lost hope of ob- taining direct help from the French because the Rhineland is no longer a no-man’s land, they felt compelled to turn towards the Soviets. They will have to bear the consequences * * * unless they throw the Soviet alliance overboarc. And for the time being there are no such signs. Benes' speeches are interesting, but his al- legs ~ pacific intentions are contra- dicted by facts which have come to our knowledge. And these facts are that their army is now practically un- der the control of the Moscow general stafl.” Blufft Has Real Backing. | There is a certain amount of bluff in this attjiude. It wants to scare the Czechs into unconditional sub- mission to the German wishes. And because a political bluff must be ac- companied by some tangible action, the German government intends to clcse the River Elba to Czechoslo- vakian transit. It" will be a heavy, blow for that country, because its rnwi‘ materials which come by sea to Bre- men and Hamburg are shipped from | there to Czechoslovakia by way of the Elba. Economically, Germany has the whip hand in Central Europe and | intends to make good use of it. No negotations for a trade or political | agreement between the two countries | will begin until the Czech govern- men., scared out its wits, is willing | to yield to afty demand from Berlin. With France hemmed in, there is | little hope for the countries east of the Rhine to resist successfully the German pressure. The French real- | ize this. They think that they may have been overcautious when they | did not make a casus belli out of the | reoccupation of the Rhineland by the | Reichswehr. But they realize that it | is too late now to do anything about it. They are using their Russian al- liance to inspire courage to their al- lies. “ They exaggerate the force of the Russian armies. The French gen- eral staff has little faith in it. France | believes that the outbreakr of a war in the near future might still bring the armies of the Central and South- eastern Eurdpean states to her side. In Germany I have found few peo- ple who believe that any of these states would commit suicide for France. The general staff in Prague, for instance, believes that the army can resist a German onslaught for three months. In Paris they give them only three weeks. Berlin gives them three days at the utmost. With the Rhine frontier guaran- teed sgainst any surprise movement from the west, Germany can use her mechanized forces, and her mobile divisions with lightning speed against the minor Central European states and then plunge heavily into the Russian campaign. That is what the remilitarization of the Rhineland has done to Europe. The French system | of alliances has collapsed like & castle made of sand. altogether. “The Czechs,” I was told, get (Copyright, 1936. by The Evening Btar Newspaper Co. 25% to 50% Reductions On Q:ality FR’AMES, LENSES and GLASSES Smart, New Rimless Glasses complete with toric lenses, rim- less mount- $ 6.95 ing and case.

NEW YORK, September 12.—Ger- many showed again today what she could do in commercial air trans- portation across the Atlantic. Capt. Hans Werner von Engel and his crew of three men brought the | Lufthansa Co.'s flying boat, Aeolus, in from Bermuda in 6 hours 14 minutes, completing a two-leg flight from the Azores. ‘Today's journey, ending at an air | harbor at Port Washington, was 770 ‘milu long. It was made without | incident. | “We were merely experimenting” | said Capt. von Engel. “We kept the shnp so close to the water that it | was almost surface boat sailing. Most | | of the time we flew at an altitude between 30 and 40 feet.” Crew on Ship. With the flight captain traveled | Baron Friedrich von Buddenbrock, | chief of the operating staff of the Lufthansa’s South Atlantic service. | He served as chief mate. The flight | engineer was Otto Gruschwitz. The | radio operator was H. J. Stein. | What the fiyers had completed was a second survey over the wumem‘ | route of the North Atlantic. | Thursday, a sister ship, the Zephir, | alighted on the bay at Port Wash- | ington after a non-stop flight from | | the Azores where both ships were | started on their ways by the motor | ship Schwabenland. The mother | ship catapault tosses the flying boats | out over the water to assist them in | taking off with great fuel loads. | At the seaplane base, operated by | Pan-American Airways, which 1ur-| nished both flights with radio di- rections, the tired flyers were met by several hundred speciators and by J. C. Carroll Cone, assistant | director of air commerce, United | States Department of Commerce; Rudolph A. Jahn, representative in | the United States for Lufthansa: John C. Cooper, jr., vice president of Pan-American Airways; P. W. Brier, German Aircraft Industries Associa- tion, and P. Krause Wichman, Ger- man vice consul. To Make Return Trips. Both planes and their crews will remain in New York until at least September 18, when the Schwaben- land will arrive prepared to launch | them out again on return flights eastward across the Atlantic.
