DANGER TO WORLD

IF CONFERENCE FAILS

CRUMBLING OF EUROPE

NAZIS SEEKING ADVANTAGE

ECONOMIC DISLOCATIONS

United Press Association—Bj Electric Telegraph— Copyright. * (Received June 27, 2 p.m.) LONDON, June 26. • It is symptomatic of the American desire to get things moving that Governor Cox, following Mr. Chamberlain, agreed that the time had come to terminate the debates and get down to drafting. The "Sun" representative says that more than ever the delegates realise that they cannot let the Conference fail without the world being terrifically endangered. Central Europe has already commenced to crumble, and the Nazis are taking advantage of the "Big Five" being engrossed in London to challenge Austria and dqfy the Versailles Treaty in the matter of air strength. If the Conference faded, Hitler would probably force Dollfuss to a crisis which could only be solved by. war. Every artifice is being employed by the Nazis to this end, while Dr. Benes and other diplomats are striving to arrange the alignment of Austria, and Hungary with the Little Entente in order to strengthen Dollfuss. Apart from the economic dislocations which are bleeding the world to death there is this tremendous reason why the delegates should remain in session and accomplish something. Despite President Roosevelt's resolution, the sub-committees are working at high pressure to frame the outline of a scheme which does not provide for stabilisation, but lays down the broad conditions in which this may be achieved, provided the major nations concur. In another Committee India today dealt a blow at wholesale tariff scaling by affirming that she has provided a 25 per cent, tariff for indigenous industries for a specified number of years and cannot break this undertaking. She will not agree not to extend equal protection to other natural industries seeking help. At the same time she would welcome a reduction of prohibitive duties imposed by. other countries.
