about future growth excite your I'm

Gary alone, to quote Schaaf again,
needs at least 5000 more workers,
skilled AID unskilled. TO permit the
several industries TO keep up with
their orders. Mr.. Schaaf is bank
sr who keeps up to-date on what is
going on in the financial and bust
ness world IN a national way by
rather frequent trips to the east. He
keeps tab on the business pulse in
broad way rather than a purely local
way. The information he gathers
causes him TO believe that 1928 will
be a prosperous year-a good year
for business generally. and better
year for agriculture. AS a business
man he IS just as anxious for the
farmer to succeed as he is for in

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-France's
peremptory refusal to consider en-
tering into four power treaty with
Great Britain. Italy and Germany.
designed to keep the peace of Eu-
rope and preserve existing boun-
daries for thirty years. definitely
ends the project in the opinion Of
administration officials who have
been in close touch with the mat
ter.
The proposal originated with Ger
many, and at her request the Am
erican government merely UNDER
took to lay it before the French
government in a purely informal
way.
The United states had no interest
IN the matter other than being help
full in attempting to find a solution
for the present critical state OF Eu-
ropean affairs
OF more Significance. however.
than Frances summary rundown Of
the proposed treaty. Is the increas-
ingly apparent fact that the United
States government today IS acting
as an unofficial clearing house for
suggestions for European relief.
Twice now within the past thres
weeks the German government has
approached the United States with
suggestions as to how 10 relieve
the critical PREPARATIONS situation
abroad, each time with request
that the United States use It's good
Offices in presenting the susges-
tions to Paris and London.
The first suggestion was for the
formation Of an international com
mission Of economic experts TO sur
vey the whole separations agree
ment and fix a sum CONNIE surate
with Germany's ability to pay. The
second dealt with the four power
pact.
In each case. the American gov
eminent has declined to sponsor the
suggestions, but has consented 70
rresent them abroad in an entirely
informal manner
Both suggestions have met with
q summary rundown by the
French.
This action on the part OF lne
American government IS entirety
consistent with the policy OF Presl-
dcnt Harding and Secretary OF State

Of "helpfulness.
