and those nations which are devoted to peace.or showing a tendency to combine their forces." The most interesting passages in Hitler's. speech, according to Pertinax, are the German those dealing with naval policy since it removes any doubt as to the naval strength to which Germany is aspiring and .revealing her intention to detach Great Britain from a defensive coalition now about to be formed. Pointing out that Germany's superior industrial equipment would always permit her to pro- duce within a short time the weapons needed for aggression. Pertinax rejects Hitler's disarm ment proposals in which he says no one could recognise his peace- able intentions.
PACIFIC IN INTENTIONS Hitler's speech, says the "Dally Telegraph" is pacific in its inter- tions and meant to be helpful to the settlement of Europe. But nowhere does he respond to the Invitation given by Lord Stanhope to produce a draft of his actual programme of limitation of arma- ments. The size of Germany's future forces is still a matter up- on which the world waits for de- finite information. If the spirit of peace which Hitler emphasises inspires the German policy, great result will flow from this speech. The News Chronicle says: Taken together with Hitler's

Berlin, May 22. Previous to the Reichstag meet- ing on Tuesday, the Cabinet Coun- cil under Hitler approved of the new army bill introduced by the Reich War Minister, General von Blomberg, which has thus acquired
the force of law.
According to the provisions of the new law every German man is liable to military service while in war time every German" woman, will be bound to perform civilian service for the Fatherland.

The obligation to perform mill- tary service extends to all" male prisons between the ages of 18 and 45 but in war time the Reich War Minister is empowered to ex- tend the scope of this provision. Military service comprises of ac- tive service and service in the re- serve. Recruits will as a general rule be called up for active ser- vice in the same year in which their 20th birthday falls, and on condition that they have already passed through the labour camp service.

The "Herald" says there is no question of the importance of Hitler declaration and oners. Other powers, especially Britain. must reply in the same spirit. The speech must be a prelude to a round-table discussion. It should be out of the question that Bri- tain's response to the declaration should be: "We intend to build at U.S. CONSULAR CHANGES top speed a bigger air fleet."..
