DOMINANT POWER.

GERMANY Ot THE FUTURE.

POLICY ON CONTINENT.

Stating that the average person in England looked on Hitler not as a militarist but as an idealist seeking to the German people under one rule. Mr. R. Everingham, who arrived in Auckland yesterday by the Aorangi, said that in his opinion Germany was going to become the dominant power in Europe. Mr. Everingham has been for the past four years the representative in London of Farmer and Company, Svdnev.

He commented on the fact that Germany already had Austria within its boundaries, while Hungary and the Sudeten Germans of Czechoslovakia would later be absorbed. Poland, he thought, would be forced into an alliance while the Ukraine would bo annexed from Russia.

The people in England were not fearing war, he said, and the Government was prepared to go to the limit in the way of concessions and conciliation to see that no war occurred. In his view, both the people and the Government would be prepared to hand back to Germany some, though not all, of her lost colonies. It was generally recognised that the Treaty of Versailles was unjust and it would have been revised years ago had England had her way.
