ITALY ONCE AGAIN THREATENS SEVERANCE FROM THE LEAGUE

APPEAL TO GERMAN

FARMERS

FOUR-YEAR PLAN FOR AGRICULTURE

FIERCE ATTACK ON BOLSHEVISM

Berlin, To-day.

Germany is not so weak now as when she entered the World War in 1914, declared General Goering at the National Farmers* Congress at Goslar yesterday. He added that then Germany had a cowardly Parliament, but now men governed the country. He appealed to German farmers to help him to carry out his four-year plan. Liberal circles urged him to give better prices to encourage deliveries of their products, saying that otherwise farmers would hold back their wares and prices would increase; but he would be a traitor to his people who placed a loaf in the pig-trough. Germany, continued General Goering would be 'in- dependent of foreign countries with regard to her daily bread so long as the farmers did their duty,

PROPOSED MEETING

RESENTED

SITUATION ARISING WOULD BE "GRAVE AND DANGEROUS”

Rome, To-day.

If the League Secretary-General's proposal that the Council of the League should meet to discuss the Spanish situation re- sults in such a meeting being held, a situation will arise which will be regarded by Italy as "grave and dangerous,” and, in the opinion of unofficial observers, may constitute grounds for Italy's severance from the League. It is claimed here that the Italian jand German Governments are entirely within their rights in re- cognising General Franco, and a League meeting at which Italy would again figure as an accused person would be regarded here as intolerable.

According to a message from Vienna the joint Austro- Hungarian recognition of General Franco when the expture of Madrid is completed is reported to have been decided upon at a conference attended by the Austrian Chancellor and Foreign Minister. Dr. von Schuschnigg and Dr. Schmidt, and the Hun- garian Premier and Foreign Minister, MM. Daranyi and Kamja.
