At one moment, says the cor- respondent, the, situation was re- garded by Herr "Hitler as so grave that he believed himself threaten- ed by a military coup d'etat, and acted accordingly.
He ordered the arrest of General Werner von Fritsch, commander- In-chief of the army, which was carried out by Herr Heinrich Himmler, chief of the secret police.. In person.
"HOUSE ARREST " For forty-eight hours, General von Fritsch was kept in a place of connement specially designat- ed by the secret police. Later he was allowed to return to his home, where yesterday he was still under "house arrest.”
In view of the inability of the German Staf attached to General Franco "to influence his strategy. the army feels that the German part of the Spanish war should be liquidated.
POLICY CRITICISED The same circles also criticised what they regard as the unduly standoffish attitude which has been taken up towards' Great Bri- tain, and the apparent lack of offers by Germany to assist her colonial demands.
