MEANS WAR!

TROTSKY ACCUSES HITLER EUROPEAN ANXIETY GERMANY ARMING HEAVILY (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received Sept. 11, noon.) LONDON, Sept. 10. The News of the World says neighboring countries are watching events in Germany with keen anxiety. Beyond all doubt she is believed to be arming heavily in defiance of the Versailles Treaty. Imports of metals show a big increase. Krupps are working night and day. Big Berthas are being built, and also another colossal gun described as a world wonder for range, calibre, and explosive power. Large stocks of eotton, wool, grain, and chemicals have been accumulated, and unemployed are making aerodromes and arterial roads strengthened to cnr.rv tanks and artillery.

M. Trotsky writes in the Sunday .Ckronifle:, //'Her r ; Hitler -moans ;war, hoping, for jit least Brßisji and Italian support on the ground that their, fear of Bolshevism exceeds their fear of Hitler.. V . • ... :

A Budapest -message states .that striking confirmation of the Hungarian Government’s Nazi sympathies are seen in a speech in which tho president of tho Government partv, Ilorr Stravansky. condemning Lutheran criticisms of Nazi excesses, said none would dare put the teachings of Christ and Luther in opposition to national thought and feeling. The Government’s attitude was strengthened by the growing conviction that a Nazi victory in Austria was assured. The Italian Foreign Office denies a report that Britain, France, and Italy have reached an agreement to present a united front against Germany.

“CHARWOMEN SQUADS”

NAZIS IN AUSTRIA POLICE RETALIATION VIENNA, Sept,. 8. Swastika signs having been painted in tar on many walls, police, in the middle of tho night visited the houses of a number of well-known Austrian Nazis, waked them from their sleep, formed them int-o seven “charwomen squads” of four men each, and compelled them to take buckets and scrubbing brushes and remove Die Nazi signs. A Communist squad was similarly conscripted in another district to remove Communist inscriptions. Dr. Dollfuss is concerned at the increasing desertions from the army. The idea of an Austro-Gennan union no longer seems impossible, and is threatening an uproar in Europe comparable with the period immediately before the war.
