THE POPULAR THEORY that the peace of Europe depends wholly upon Franco-German relations received a deci- sive blow last Sunday in an article by Pertinax, the noted French political observer in the This Week section of the New York Herald Tribune. If a "witch's cauldron" is brewing in Europe today, and this veteran observer believes one is, that cauldron lies not on the Rhine, nor in Africa, nor even in Spain, but in the centre and Eastern sections of the continent, he says. Germany's Spanish adventure, it is Pertinax' opinion, just as its move into the Rhineland, is designated not for offensive purposes, but merely to hold off the Western powers with one hand so that the other may spread its fingers into the Balkans. In the same way, the loud, recurrent cries for colonies may be but a smoke screen under cover of which will come the advancement of the true German policy of pressing a pan-Germanist movement and marching into the East. Not until after the next war will it be possible to tell which of these analyses is the true one, but it would seem that Germany long ago left the crossroads leading to colonies or the East to tread the eastern path. There' is a tendency among diplomats and European observers to discount the import, of the course of action detailed by Der Fuehrer in his autobiography, since it was written in 1924 and 1927. This in spite of repeated drives in these directions resulting in the almost complete ful- fillment of that policy inside of Germany, and tremendous advances outside. This in spite ,of the fact that ardent pro- Nazis treat it as the "word of God." This in spite of the fact that every home in Germany must have a copy of the new "bible." This in spite of the fact that nothing in this work has ever been repudiated by Hitler although its contra- dictions have been "interpreted" by him many times. "The cry for a new war fleet, restoration of our colonies, etc., is obviously mere empty talk, since it contains no practical possibility . . . We stem the Germanic stream towards the South and West of Europe and turn our eyes East- ward . . . We have finished a pre-War policy of colonies and trade and have gone over to the land policy of the future . . . And when we think of new lands, we think of Russia." ("Mein Kampf"-Chapter XIV). But it is not only Russia, then not as powerful militarily as she is nov, toward which Hitler turned his eyes. A large part of the book is devoted to the development of the idea of a pan-Germanist movement-the gathering of all "German" peoples into the Nazi state. He bellows again and again that only expan- sion into the East would "justify bloodshed in the eyes of God and future generations in Ger- many - - Europe forming an all-inclusive pan-German union. But France will certainly make, forceful objections to any German military move threat- ening her "Little Entente," Thus the logical prediction of Germany's for- eign policy would seem to take this form: Ger- many will attempt to "convince" her little neigh- bors in the East that she is their "white hope," and that they are cut off completely from the possibility of French assistance. If she succeeds, they will enter upon the path of bilateral pacts and the German "Mittel Europa" will be formed without bloodshed. Already Yugoslavia, regardless of her security in the future, is busy gathering immediate ad- vantages from Germany, Pertinax points out, and it seems likely that each of the other threat- ened nations will follow her lead and the example of Poland in 1934 to "sell its services to Berlin on the best possible terms." He concludes on a dismal note denying that a bloodless erection of a German hegemony in eastern Europe means peace for France and England, for: "Once in possession of innumer- able resources, of endless stores of raw ma- terials and of a greatly increased man power, would the- German Fuehrer not look with new eyes toward the West? And would he not be moved out of his promises of peace by the pos sibility of recovering Alsace-Lorraine and ac- quiringrich overseas possessions?" These ominous words hang over Europe: "Strength, alone constitutes the right to possess territory. Nothing will grant us land and life for our nation except the power of a victorious sword." ("Mein Kampf"-Chapter XIV). ITHE FORUM Letters published in this column should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily. Anonymous contributions will be disregarded.

Search For 'Life' To the Editor: Sirs, Mrs.- and Mr. as well as Miss, and all the little ones: The Search for "LIFE" All ye who go about blindly in a search for "LIFE- Take heed-for your search is destined to' be fruitless. Aye-"LIFE" is cheap enough-yet s6 dear! It is not something that can be picked up at the corner Drug Store or the nearest News Stand- No, contrarily, Friend, "LIFE" is something for which we are all seeking, yet-which only a chos- en few ever attain. Yea Verily, there are those who, having no material "LIFE" of their own, are prone to sponge off the "LIFES" of others-whether it be that of the Library or that of their Fraternity Brother. "LIFE" to such as these cannot mean so much, no matter how satisfying it may appear on the surface. So, I say unto you, if you wish to enjoy that "LIFE" for which you are constantly seeking, you must either reserve-or subscribe. All of ye fortunate ones, who have thus acquired "LIFE" as a lastingpossession, know this to be true. To reserve-is to have the satisfaction of pos- session-though it be but for a month, of your own "LIFE" in its entirety. To subscribe is to gain for perhaps a year, per- haps two years, or even until "LIF" is ex- tinguished, (as only "TIME"-or poverty will tell-) all that "LIFE" can offer. And may yours be a more beautiful, abundant, fruitful, and edi- fying "LIFE" in the future. Advice to those who, up until now, have been in the same boat as I. -Edwit J. Scott, '38. STHE SCREEN 3 AT THE MAJESTIC SEA DEVILS Here is a picture dedicated to the United States Coast Guards. The subject is good motion picture material, and Sea Devils is very enlight- ening as to the type of work done. The story is meek enough, but there are some scenes of the coast guards in action that are well worth the price of admission. This is essentially the story of two men and a girl. One of the men is the girl's father; the other, Mike, the man she loves. Both men are typical devil-may-care adventurers with bravery a fundamental of their characters. But the father, "Medals," wants his daughter to marry an ideal- istic member of his crew. In a scientific experi- ment the boy is killed, and both Medals and Mike are disgraced. Then a hurricane comes up, and both men forget everything except their love of duty. Victor McLaglen as "Medals" smashes out his .usual excellent performance. He is a.
