Strictly speaking, the intentions of His Majesty's Government had not been announced to Berlin, but the mildness of Sir John's protest after Herr Hitler re-established conscription in defiance of the Versailles Treaty (TIME, March 25) was notice enough to the Realmleader that Britain would not join France, Russia and Italy in any harsh, concerted effort to make him toe dotted lines on which Germany has signed.
