THE THREE SHOCKS
More Than A Mere Coincidence
(Special Air Mail Service)
London, March 15.
It is more than a coincidence- that Nazi Germany's three most startling shocks to world opinion
од have all been delivered Saturday afternoon.
On the same day of the week and almost at the same hour came the news of Germany's withdrawal from the League on Oct. 14, 1933, and of the "purge" on June 30 last, Herr Hitler's object is to delay Chan- foreign reactions. The celleries of Europe have a week- end for reflection.
Careful Timing
News of the return to conscrip- tlon was given out in exactly the same way as that of the June 30 shootings..
