RESTORATION OF COLONIES
HERR HITLER'S DEMANDS -x : UNITED STATES INVOLVED * .ft t ■ . 1 ■ Press Association —By Telegraph —Copyright LOS ANGELES, February 22. Sir Josiah Stamp, who is on his way to Chicago,- told a representative of the Australian Associated Press that the United States may become involved in the crisis raised- by Herr Hitler’s demands for the restoration of colonies. “ This is not simply a matter of giving back some colonies. Every nation that signed the Versailles Treaty must bo consulted, and those countries bordering on the disputed colonies. Hypothetically, suppose that Britain proposed that certain bf the West Indies and British Guiana should be substituted for former German colonies in order to appease- Germany’s demands, that would involve America. The Monroe Doctrine also would be involved if the question of restoring the Pacific Isles mandated to Japan were raised.” Sir Josiah declined to comment on Mr Eden’s resignation beyond deploring the possible collapse of Britain’s hope for a united front.
