POLITICAL DRAMA IN EUROPE

NATIONS AWAITING HITLER'S SPEECH

DESIRE FOR PEACE NOT HELPFUL ENOUGH

London, May 20.

This will be an important week for Europe, and interest in the international developments has shifted from Poland to Berlin, London and Geneva. In these three capitals the play goes forward simultaneously, somewhat different in detail, it is true, but with the same climax in view: the solidifying of European security.

The world awaits with the keenest interest Chan- cellor Adolf Hitler's speech on German foreign policy in the Reichstag to-morrow at 8 p.m., especially as it is believed in some quarters that the chief European Gov.

ernments have let it be known in Berlin that the mere reaffirmation of Germany's desire for peace won't give satisfaction.

What is wanted is some definite contribution from Germany to the system of security.

In London, on Wednesday, the important debates on National Defence measures will take place, both in the House of Lords and House of Commons.

The Cabinet will meet on that same day, in the morning. And it decide to

HITLER DISCLOSING FOREIGN POLICY

GOERING'S MISSION TO CRACOW AND WARSAW

Warsaw, May 19.

Chancellor Alolf Hitler's speech upon Germany's foreign policy, scheduled for delivery on Tuesday, is likely to be affected very considerably and in important ways, by General Hermann Goering's week-end con- sultations upon Germany's relationship with her neighbours.

Light has been thrown upon General Goering's talks with the French Foreign Minister, M. Pierre Laval, at Cracow. M. Laval to-day told journalists that his con- versation with the German Air Minister and Prussian Premier, General Goering, were of the friendliest nature. They covered all "points affecting Franco- German relations, he said.

It is understood that special reference was made to

the Franco-Russian alliance and its consequences.
