Nazi Troops Enter Rhineland
Berlin—Shattering the last vestiges
of the Versailles peace treaty with
ruthless suddenness, Adolf Hitler on
Saturday ordered several battalions of
the German army into the Rhineland.
Twenty-five thousand troops so far
have moved into the Rhineland, it was
estimated unofficially, With a sword
in one hand and an olive branch in
the other, Hitler, through notes sent
to Britain, France, Italy and Belgium,
tore up the Locarno security pact of
mutual assistance against an aggres
sor, but offered a series of new treat
ties to realign all Europe, east and
west, in guarantees against war. He
said France’s new military alliance
with Russia had caused the Locarno
pact, guaranteeing the frontiers of
Germany, France and Belgium; to
cease to exist.
Points in Hitler’s speech and note
to the powers include:
1— Germany is willing to replace
the demilitarized Rhineland with an
other mutual demilitarized buffer zone
between Germany on the one hand,
and France and Belgium on the oth
er, “as deep as they wish,” These'
zones must, however, extend into Bel
gium and France instead of Germany
only, the Fuehrer specified.
2— Hitler is willing to sign a non
aggression pact with France and Bel
gium for 25 years. Italy and Britain
are asked to be guarantors.
3— A similar non-aggression pact is
offered to all states east of Germany.
Lithuania, with which Germany has
long had trouble over the German
majority in the semi-autonomous city
of Memel, is specifically mentioned
for inclusion.
4— The league of Nations, with
Germany back as a member, must be
reorganized and divorced from the
now completely dead—so far as
■many is concerned—treaty of
sailles.
5— The Locarno pact, which
' vides for military and naval aid by
the five signatories if one is declared
by the League of Nations council to
be an aggressor, is no longer applic
able. Hitler blamed the Franco-Sov-
iet pact, silimar to the Locarno, for
its nullification.
6— The new “Locarno” is to be ap
plicable also to air forces. The pres
ent security pact does not specify aer
ial action against an aggressor.
7— Germany demands a return of at
least some of her colonies, through
“friendly negotiations” concurrent
■with the .Reich’s return to the league.
8— The proposed, quarter-century
pact of non-aggression is to be open
also to the Netherlands, not a Locar
no signatory.
This program, Hitler said, would
bring a real and lasting peace and
friendship to nations. Hitler dissolv
ed the Reichstag and called a nation
al plebescite to approve his policy.
O.A.C. Debating Team Wop
Guelph—Guelph Ontario Agricul
tural College debating team won a
close decision over Osgoode Hall in
an intercollegiate competition. The
winners upheld the affirmative on the
subject “Resolved that in the opinion
of this house, the League of Nations
has failed,”
Wet Forces to Appeal
Bethune Smith, of the firm of
Smith, Rae & Greer, announced that
an appeal would be taken at once
from the decision of Chief Justice
Latchford, and Justices Riddell andc
Henderson, who ruled at Osgoode
Hall that the city was right in check
ing its beer and wine petition against
Part One of the Voters’ List.
To Buy Canadian Silver
Washington—Secretary of the Un
ited States'Treasury, Henry Morgen-
thau, said his agreement to buy new
ly-mined Canadian silver through the.
Bank of Canada was expected to ab
sorb the Dominion’s entire output.
O’Donnell Appeals
Harry O’Donnell, convicted of the
murder of 20-year-old Ruth Taylor,
and sentenced to hang May 5, signed
the official notice of his appeal
against the sentence. The grounds of
the appeal’will be that the trial judge,
Mr. Justice ^Jicol Jeffery, allowed as
evidence headlines from newspapers
about the finding of a wrench with
the initials “OD,” an important piece
of evidence. The appeal will also con
tend the judge should, not have allow
ed as evidence statements made by
O’Donnell when he was arrested.

Ottawa—A two-year, $26,000,000
public works’ program to re-establish
Vancouver’s allegedly shaky financial
position, was given to the House of
Commons by Gerald G. McGeer, “left
wing” Liberal from the Pacific Coast.
Parliament, he declared, had the right
to create money and to provide this
work, which, he said, was “crying to
be done.” Government could afford
to provide the sum, he mentioned.
