WAR ALTHOUGH HITLER persists in resorting to his bluff methods and sabre-rattling, a close survey of conditions in Germany reveals that "public opinion in the Reich is de- finitely changing and that there is a general fear of war in that country. In the early years of the Nazi regime, the one topic on which nearly all Germans agreed was foreign policy. Rearmament was wel- comed as a gesture against the restrictions of Versailles, but the danger of war seemed remote..
In the summer of 1938, however, it was realized that rearmament had some-

by Mrs. M. Allinson, of the Central British School.
Mrs. Allinson's paper dealt more
with the relation of Italy and her people on English literature, rather than the influence.
The education
derived from
travel, expeditions, wars, diploma- tic missions was brought to Italian literature, and also formed a back- ground and foundation of under-
standing between this country and England.

But soon after you settle down you will begin to appreciate its effec- tive work. The Japanese police pay particular attention to foreign residents.
