NO TRIPLE ALLIANCE i KERR HITLER'S MEMOIR FORCE USED IF NECESSARY LONDON, June 6 An alliance between Britain, Germany and Italy is regarded by Herr Hitler as impossible, according to the noted French journalist, Madame Tabouis. She states that this view was expressed in a memoir drawn up by Herr Hitler after his Italian visit. The memoir is being circulated among the most important Nazi officials, the copies are numbered and their circulation' is strictly controlled to ensure secrecy.
The moves indicated, Madame Tabouis adds, are:—
(1) The final occupation of Spain by Italy and Germany. This presupposes that the agreement between Britain and Italy is collapsing, as it is dependent on Italy's withdrawal from Spain. (2) Protection of the Rome-Berlin "axis,'' as against Russia, by taking over Bohemia, including Prague, and the creation of an alliance between the Baltic States, Poland, Rumania and [Yugoslavia. (3) Preparation for an attack on France and forcing the unconditional return of the colonies and Alsace-Lor-raine, also Savoy and Tunisia. The memoir says every effort will ibe made to carry out the programme without war, but, if difficulties arise, there will be no hestitation to use force.
