The otlldal press continues to stress that the rearmament of Hermany threatens Russia, and that the conflict growing out of any Herman attack would spread all over Europe and Asia. This Is of LltvInofT's but a confirmation contention that "peace Is Indivis- of Nations circles predict that France, Russia and will conclude an Czechoslovakia eastern pact as an answer to Hitlers new conscript army.
