Hitler Ready To
Plav His Soviet
w
Ace Trump Card
UNDATED. Aug. 31, — Adolph
• Hitler was reported ready to
I play his Russian trump card if
] the Poles are convinced to come
to Berlin to negotiate. A council
lor from the Russian Embassy
called at the Nazi foreign office.
The report spread that unless
Poland bows to the present pres
sure, Hitler intends to announce
1 some degree of Soviet military
cooperation.
Should Hitler win Stalin over
(to actively assisting Germany
' in its military plans, Poland will
| be in a highly precarious posi
1 tion.
The Germans interpreted fur
ther Polish mobilization orders
as an answer against negotiation
efforts, while informed quarters
expressed astonishment over the
Polish move.
The hope of peace still surviv
ed even while main European
powers moved steadily closer to
full wartime footings, and took
new emergency measures to pro
tect cities and people from air
raids.
In Moscow the Supreme Sov
iets Parliament decided to con
sider ratification of the non-ag
gression pact, in a joint mission
tonight.
The London stock exchange de
cided not to open tomorrow.
Italy announced a division of
its army into two parts—one un
der the command of Crown Prin
ce Umberto and the other under
i Marshal Rodolfo Graiani.
Great Britain, without waiting
for Hitler's reply to its last note,
ordered precautionary removal
i from metropolitan area of about
(three million women, children,
invalids and aged beginning to
morrow.
! France decreed anti-air-raid
I
i blacks as the removal continued
from Paris of the civilian popu
lation.
Germany’s new council for the
j defense of the realm, described
| as the supreme war council, be
jgan operating today under Mar
I shal Goering.
