NOTES OF THE DAY ONLY ROAD TO SAFETY The Very Idea!
DANGER POINT
The newest danger point in Europa is the Saar. Germany wants it back again, and the Nazia have been behaving in a manner
which has aroused, suspleton especially French suspicion that a putsch of some sort may be at- tempted prior to the plebiscite on January 18, 1986. On that date the people of the Saar are to vote on a atraight-forward ballot: Do you wish to remain under League of Nations administration, or do you wish to return to Germany 7 It is simple enough. If left alone, the people of the Saar would do- cide the issue for themselves, and without much hard feeling one way or another. Unfortunately, however, certain elements have bean at work stirring up antagon- Isms and the situation has become more and more complicated, and more threatening. So great is the French distrust of the position that two full army corps are ready to march into the region if there la any sign of Nazi terrorism, The French troops could be in occupation in two hours, they claim. The repercussions of an attempted Nazi coup would be most grave in these circumstances.
