APPEAL FOR PEACE
WORLD DISARMAMENT ADVOCACY EXPECTED HERR HITLER TO SPEAK LONDON, Dec. 21 Hcrr Hitler is expected to make an appeal for disarmament and world peace in a speech to the Reichstag on January 31. This, military experts in London claim, is the result of the intensification of British and French rearmament. The democracies are making the pace too hot for Germany and her allv, Italy. The predicted appeal by Herr Hitler, it is pointed out, will not be realistic if it does not embrace some working arrangement between Russia and the rest of Europe. The Soviet, with two fronts to defend, is not likely to agree to an armament ratio which does not give it an appreciable margin over Germany. Nor is Britain likely to agree to the Nazi argument that Germany, also with two fronts to hold, must have the strongest air force in Europe.
