0F NIIRTHERN STATES AIM

Hitler Offers Bilateral Pacts of Non - Ag- gression to Scandin- avian and B a ltic Countries.

(By The Associated Press) ~ BERLIN, Ma 3—Gcrma.ny mov- ed swiftly to ay to forestall in- clusion of northern European states in the British-French sponsored anti-a gresslon bloc and at the ssme time sought to isolate Pol- and, now considering German de- mands.

Proposals have been sent to six Scandinavian and Baltic countries for bilateral pacts of non-aggres- sion which Foreign Office quarters indicated involved pledges, either specific or implied. on the part of those countries not to favor any other group of nations.

What Chancellori-litler has laun- ched is a bold diplomatic offens- ive to destroy what he considers British and French efforts to en-

,clrcle his country. and to cripple _

Poland because she refused what he consders a generous offer to settle the Danzig and Pomorze (Polish Corridor) problems for at least 25 years.

His hopes are that by isolating Poland he will force the Polish Foreign Minister. Colonel Joseph Back. to accept his terms. Responsible quarters indicate that these terms now include more than the mere return to Germany of the Free City of Dannlg and the grairkittin of an automobile and rail

inal German conditions.

The countries Hitler is known in be negotiating with are Denmark. Sweden. Norway. Finland. Latvia and Estonia. There was confidence here that Hungary. once consid- ered a friend Poland. would stick to Gennany.

Foreign Ministers of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland dis- cussed Hitler's proposals by tele- phone nnd arrrznded to meet in Stockholm Mav 9 to consider whe- ther their traditional neutral posi- t'ons would be erdangered if they

On The Skills

"I mollorige the Government to go to the country at the earliest possible moment." said Dr. Man- ion. just before the debate ended. "I am so confident my friends opposite are on the skids that any time at all will suit me."

‘ilhe Government has failed to solvothe problems confronting the

o“ iv those of

. pl.- un- employment and agriculture, sold. Dr. Munlon It bud failed to keep any of the promises made by the Liberal Party at the last elect-km, such as pledges to reduce tamtion, balance midgets, lower the scat of living and provide work for the unanpioyed.

Looks Confidence Because of this it had lost the -oon.fiden.ce of the people and it

was in the interests of the country that s. Government with s. fresh mandate should make a new start. Assoonastheroyalvlsftwasover an election should be hold. 14 the Liberals were returned they would then be assured of public con- fidence. ll not some other group would be in o.

Drawlmpn his own experience as a member of the Bennett Gov-_ ernment which met. defeat in 1935 after a full five-year term, Dr. Manion advised the {liberals they would be beaten W if they waited until 1940 an if they held the election in 1039. He ad- mitted the Conservatives were un- wise in delaying the last election and said he knew in 1934 the Government was beaten and saw the some signs now with reimrd to the Liberal administration.

The Conservative Leader charg-

of engrgy. said it did not-hing but drift with the tide of political ex- pediency. In this connection he cited changes in the Govemmentls wheat policy and said no one knew where the when/t legislaltkm before the House would end or whit stand the Government tool: on anything.
