RUMORS OF MILITARY
ALLIANCE BETWEEN
JAPAN AND GERMANY
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED. March 19—Apprehension regarding furth
er German assaults on the Versailles Treaty that may be
contemplated in addition to the abrogation of the aviation
and conscript army clauses, is acutely noticeable in the
capitals of Europe.
In Berlin unofficial reports said that the United States
would protest against the violation of the German-American
peace treaty. Rumors of a military alliance between Japan
and Germany were circulated this morning, but later offic
ially denied.
German officials said that the demilitarized Rhineland
zones provisions of the Versailles Treaty will be eliminated
next unless France accepts the demilitarization of similar
areas on her own soil. It is stated in official circles that
Germany is ready to discuss the entire problem of European
stability with the British regardless of her protest, of the
construction of a navy which now is under study by Berlin
officials.
Meanwhile official Washington gave notice that the
greatest peace-time mimic war ever conducted in the coun
try, was being planned by the War Department.
France sought with Britain, and Italy to devise means
by which Hitler would be influenced to declare his attitude
toward the problems of European stability.
President Roosevelt and his advisors are expected to
consult on the advisibility of protesting against Germany’s
violation of the American German Peace Treaty and the
French disappi’oval of the British note to Germany as
“weak.”
It was indicated in French quarters, as the French Am
bassador interviewed the British Foreign Secretary in Lon
don, that at the same time Britain may ask the United States
to take steps in connection with Germany’s actions.
