Guaranteeing French Safety.

The diplomacy of Aristide BRAND,
puzzling and trying as it has been at
times, seems in the way of gaining the
goal 1t has aimed at. and, therefore,
OF justification, at least in the eyes
OF Frenchmen. The understanding
reached at Cannes. by which Great
Britain and possibly Italy guaranteed
France against another Gers'. ag-
gression. disposes of an issu >hich
has colored and even warped french
diplomacy ever since the armistice,
and will be of far-reaching influence
on the economic reconstruction of Eu-
rope which is to be undertaken little
later at Genoa.
Had it not been that at Versailles
American sentiment was misread, such
an agreement between London and
Paris might have been coincident with
the treaty Of peace. Effort to make
the United States party to the COM
pact failed, and because the American
Senate failed to ratify the British
government also withheld assent, leav-
ing France exposed. as every French
man believed, to German VENGEANCE.
Much Of the subsequent ills o. france
and Of all Europe is attributaf.e to the
resultant French fear of Ge- man ag-
erosion, and its influence %as suf-
ficient to reach across the Atlantic and
defeat, in part. the program of the
Washington conference on the limita-
ton of armament.
With the Cannes proposal written
into a binding treaty, France no
longer will be able to justify before the
world maintenance of her present
enormous military establishment, and
the question of land ornaments ought
to be taken up and an agreement ar
rived at speedily for drastic curtail-
ment and limitation. Such an agree
ment would Of necessity include the
other nations of continental Europe.
especially Poland and the little en-
France are maintaining armies which
they are even less able to afford. And
soviet Russia should be required to
fall in line and disband her red army,
or else should not be permitted to sit
In conference with the other powers
at Genoa. With genuine disarmament
in Europe, something worth while
may come ,ot of the Genoa confer
ence. Without disarmament there is
not much reason to hope for large ac-
complishment. for there cannot be
large accomplishment without Ameri-
can help. and America certainly has
no intention to contribute from its
resources toward the maintenance Of
Europe as an armed camp.
And 1t Is not too late for France to
regain the sympathy and good will she
lost In Washington by defeating the
American proposal for limitation of
submarine tonnage. The conference
still is in session here, and the sub
marine question could be reopened at
any time. The impression her spokes-
men left was that France required
submarines as protection against a
possible British attack. II Britain Is
to be Frances ally and defender, that
impression certainly ought to be re-
moved.

INJURED Gracious me!
The taste in tunes today is nothing
like it used to be!'
But fashions are peculiar as they swift

And we'll hear the robin singing in

The old world yearns for novelty and
changes tunes lot,
But there are some old timers that will

And our fond appreciation to the
melody will cling
When the skies are blue and happy
and the robin starts to sing.

"SAVE OUR SEAPORT TOUR ANNOUNCED
FIGHT IS ON To KILL
HARB0R PROJECT, IS
CHARGED BY BENNETT

Charging that there are big interests
fighting the railroad and harbor prop
osition at Point Isabel. and that great
pressure is being brought 20 bear to inn
pedc the movement, Jesse bennett ap-
pealed to the members of the Rotary
Club today 10 get back Of the two pro-
Jects and help push them TO an early
completion.
"The time has come" said Mr.. Dem
nett to draw aside the veil and let
the public see what is really going on
in the Rio Grande railway.
"Mr. OBrien has labored and done
all he can and now he is blocked be-
cause of lack of S35 900 that has been
promised to him.
1T appears that shippers at Point
Isabel have been using automobile trucks
transporting their products to Browns
vile, which to an outsider would seem
TO indicate that there was a movement
TO reduce the revenue of the Rio Grande
railroad. and thus handicap the road"
1T Is a known fact" Mr.. bennett
charged further, that there is a big
corporation represented in Brownsville
road and thus kill the harbor propo-
sition. Shall we let private interests
destroy a God-given opportunity such as
confronts US now, in this deep water and
railway proposition?
1t seems that the desire of certain
individuals for the dollar is going to
wreck the future of the entire Valley.

he can TO back up the Rio Grande rail-

am not asking that we become in

arisen in this project, but this is a pub
lie movement in which every citizen of
Brownsville and the entire Valley is in

ually and collectively, to aid this great
project.
Mr.. bennett told Of various incidents
which have led up to the present sit
uation, pointing out "A recent occurrence
in which the Rio Grande railroad was
forced to condemn a portion Of its right
of way in order to get into Point Isabel,
and also a recent injunction in which it
sought to stop the use Of its right Of
way on its property at Point Isabel for
loading and unloading trucks from hous-
