Nazi Move Against Memel Expected
Memel -- A general view of the city of Memel. Well informed foreign observers indicated, Mar. 20, that they expect Adolf Hitler is planning the reunion of Memel with Greater Germany. It is said that Memel, under Lithuanian sovereignty with a measure of autonomy, was one of the chief topics of discussion at a recent conference of Adolf Hitler with trusted aides.
