Ordinaner,
Washington, Mar. 27.
Observers here believe America's Far Eastern policies may be revised when the Washington Naval Treaty expires on December 31, 1936.
The new three-power London Treaty leaves the nations the right to pile up forts and guns as they desire in their Far East possessions. Whether the United States will take advantage of this opportunity depends upon whether she decides to remain an important Far Eastern power.
From a purely naval technical viewpoint the Hawaiian and Philippine fortifications are Eccoming obsolete. However, Guam and other American points in the Pacific at present unfortified, could be used as powerful strategic outposts if desired.
When the Washington Treaty was (=-- signed in 1921, the Powers agreed to preserve the status quo in the Pacific and established a five-five-three naval ratio which gave Japan equality in battle in Far Eastern waters, where she was nearer her bases of operation. It was further agreed that there would bo no further fortification of Pacific „points.

Essen, Mar. 27. "Without internal peace Germany must perish. "There can be no victors nor vanquished.. Peace can only be founded on equal rights and equal honour.. "Don't talk to me of the holiness of treaties! When have treaties been more broken than during the last eighteen years?" These were high-lights of the address of the German Chancellor, Herr Adolf Hitler, delivered here to-day.
The intensely nationalistic appeal of the Chancellor was followed by a moving address by Dr. Josef Goebbels, the Minister for Propaganda, who, reminding France of Germany's love of peace, added: "Attack us and you will find that every inch of territory conquered would cost you thousands of lives."
