GERMANY'S - NEW DEFENCES.

ON THE POLISH FRONTIER.

NAVAL AND MILITARY · DISPLAY.

[EXCLUSIVE TO THE "DAILY PRESS.")"

Berlin, February 7th (U.P.).--German military leaders regard. Eastern Europe as the potential field of their activities and Foland is the country which they have in mind as a possible enemy, against whom they are building their defences.

Not that Germany ja"in a warlike mood or preparing for offensive warfare. Indeed, when German statesmen proclaim a foreign policy of peace and reconciliation, this is more than the threadbare phrase of the platitudinous diplomats. Germany needs pesce, wants it and is not prepared for a large-scale war. { Com- pared to other European Poweri, such as France, England, the Soviet Union or Poland, Germany is militarily weak. The Treaty of Versailles will for many years prevent Germany from restoring its military strength.

Moreover, the majority of Germans to-day are not likely to be swept into a flood of military enthusiasm as in August, 1914. While the younger German generation is by no means pacifist, it is no longer subject to the military tradition of the Kaiser's reign. Parades, spiked belmets, flag-waving, troop reviews, abam battles and, naval manoeuvres have lost their pristina charm for many Germans. The profession. of bearing arms is not generally glori fed. Compulsory military service has been abolished and the standing army of 100,000 men, allowed by the treaty of Versailles, is scarcely in evidence in the humdrum life of the German citizen, "

Moreover, German military quarters assert that treaty exists, in which France pro- | mised to dispatch squadron of cruisers and battleships to the Baltic in support of Poland in case of war. Such French squadron, It is stated, could be placed under the Polish colours before the out- break of hostilities, without oblig ing France itself to take part as a combatant. Should Poland this be enabled to reinforce its slim nazy with French battleships, Germany's naval forces would certainly be outnumbered and interior.

In German naval circles, how. ever, doubts are expressed whether France could withdraw ita: naval strength from the Mediterranean to the extent which Poland's re-. quirements might demand. Such a posibility is considered likely only if England would agree to protect French interests in the Mediter. ranean. Barring the contingency of French naval reinforcements for Poland, then, the German navy, once its present building progress is fulfilled, would easily dominate the Baltic against Poland,

Foreign observers here have been which struck by the extent to Poland has replaced France as the “traditional "enemy in the Ger man military mind.
