EUROPE WATCHING !
ADOLPH HITLER IN I
AFFAIR AT PRESENT
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, Dee. 26—All Europe
watched Adolf II.tier for a de
cision as to whether he will send
Nazi troops to aid Spanish Fas
cists, possibly provoking a gen
eral war.
The hope that Germany will
avoid the endangering peace
mounted when it was reported
that Hitler was studying Spanish
Insurgents demands. General
William Faupel, German charge
de Affaires of Fascist Spain, it is
reportedly suggested, that Hitler
give Spanish Fascists sixty thou
sand add tional troops.
German newspapers said that
Europe was unduly alarmed. In
formed sources predicted that
Hitler would call a conference of
his chief political and military
aides, but there is no evidence
that they have been summoned
to his Bavarian villa.
