I respect they are worse than they are
| in Germany. The credit of the coun.
try has been restored and raw ma
terial and food can be bought with
sterling without the loss of anything
apprcciable on the exchanges.
That has its value to the manufac'
turer, trader and worker. On the
other hand, our unemployment problem
Is grayer than that OF the Germans.
The number Of unemployed at this
moment is 1913, 100, or in other words,
IL IL per cent Of the male working
population.
This compares unfavorably with the
official figure of 20S,000 in Germany.
A fact which makes the situation even
graver is that our voorhees, are on
the increase. 1t must be difficult for
America, where there is practically no
unemployment, to realize the enormity
of our problem.
BALANCE IS WRONG.
Then there is another disquieting
factor in British trade finance. For
the first time in modern history the
balance of imports over exports is
against us this year. One great labor
dispute, wherein 1,250,00O of workers
are directly concerned and many more
indirectly, has been postponed at the
expense of at least twenty millions
sterling to the taxpayer. But post.
ponement is not settlement, and the
issue has yet to be faced.
There is another labor dispute over
railways smouldering in the straw
which has been temporarily damped
by the house of J. H. Thomas, but
it is rapidly becoming dryer. Negotia.
lions here have not yet begun in earn
est, but the railway companies either
must press them on or draw deeper
on their reserves.
Traffic receipts are going down and
running expenses are keeping up. So
far the railway companies have not
paid their way at the expense of pub.

NATION is UNMOVED.
There is no greater tribute to the
phlegmatic temperament of the racs
than the fact that six years of bad
trade, abnormal unemployment, and
the closing down Of pits, furnaces
shipyards and factories does not seem
to have quickened the pulse of the
nation by a single beat. There is a
lethargic calm, only broken by the
cracking laughter of pleasure parties.
But a warning note has just been ut
tered by the head of one of the largest
shipbuilding concerns in the world, Sir
George Hunter, man of high intel
lcct and character, whose name com

but We are on the road to it. There
is no improvement in sight"
ITALY is MYSTERY.
1t is difficult to Know what really

no liberty of the press in that great
country, and therefore, no independent

PACT

PRESS
Agreement to Defend frances
Rhine Frontier Generally
Criticized

By DAVID Nj. CHURCH
International News Service.

LONDON, June 9.-The security
pact agreement reached at Geneva
between France and Great Britain,
and under which Britain agrees to
defend Frances Rhine frontier
with British arms, If necessary,
was received by the British press
today with marked GOODNESS.
Neither the newspapers nor the
public apparently are satisfied with
the semi-official French version Of
the pact's terms, as announced at
Geneva.
The agreement attracted widest
attention throughout Britain TO-DAY
and was commented upon by most
Of the newspapers.
The Daily Telegraph warned it's
readers against forming TOO nasty
conclusions concerning the agree
ment, pointing out that the versions
published thus far are French YER
sions, and that there are apparent
Omissions"
"What does Britain get?" asks
the Telegraph. after emphasizing
that the published accounts fail to
make it plain that the pact is
mutual obligation.
The Telegraph also called atten-
ton to the fact Italy was apparently
not included in the agreement and
asks why not.
Throughout the COMMENT ran the
intimation that the published YER
sion of the pact from French
sources is inaccurate.
Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express
comments in sarcastic vein.
Britain now adopts the Rhine
frontier" the Express declared. "A
century Of isolation is ended. Great
Britain now declares herself to be
continental power, pledged to war
if the Rhine frontier is violated"
The Daily Chronicle also ex-
pressed considerable misgiving. 1t

keep a close eye on the negotia-
tons, and said that unless Cham

TWO BATHING
BEACHES
Plans Under Way Call for Re-
opening of Tidal Basin
for Swimming

Immediate reopening of the
Tidal Basin, bathing beach and
creation Of a new bathing beach
for the colored population of
Washington at Jones Point, in the
Eastern branch, is being planned
today.
If the approval Of the chairmen
of the Senate and House District
and Appropriations Committees
can be secured and the plan meets
with the approval of the District
Commissioners and the Citizens
Advisory Council, the beaches will
be opened, despite the order of
Congress closing the Tidal Basin
beach, it was stated by Lieutenant
Colonel C. o. Sheriff., director
of public buildings and public
parks.
The Washington Times today
sent kilograms to the chairmen of
the Senate and House District
committees, Congressman Martin
B. Madden. chairman Of the House
appropriations committee and Sen
ator Reed Smoot of Utah, chair
man Of the Senate appropriations
committee, pointing out that there
have been eight drownings during
the past week as a result of whole
sale bathing in the unguarded river
and asking whether they will ap-
prove the plan to reopen the Tidal
Basin beach.
The plan has been heartily en-
dorsed by Congressman Frederick
N. Zihlman, OF Maryland, who will
be the nexi chairman of the House
District Committee; Congressman
Thomas l.. Blanton. of Texas, lead
err Of the minority on the House
District Committee, and former
Congressman Stuart F. Reed of
West Virginia, chairman of the
House District Committee last
session.
The proposed plan to reopen
the bathing beach has found a
strong advocate in Congressman
tuart f. Reed of West Virginia,
and former chairman of the House
District Committee.
ITS a shame that Congress
failed to provide the little money
necessary at the last session which
would have enabled Colonel Sher-
rill to open the beach," he said

PARIS, June 8.-The two pilots

entrees in the international race
from Brussels for the Gordon

German steamship "Vaterland"
in the Atlantic off Brest, France,
today, according to La Biberts.
The balloon was found floating in
the water.
The pilot, W. T. Van Orman,
and his aide, c. X. Wellan, both
of Akron, were none the worse
for their experience, according to

BRUSSELS, Belgium, June o.
With the remaining American entry
reported down in the Atlantic off
Brest and her crew safe aboard the
German freighter Vaterland and an
other French balloon safely landed
at Anneville, France, word was
waited hourly today from three le-
naming entrants in the Gordon
Bennett Cup race.
Pilot Bienaime and his aide, M.
Ravaine brought their bag down
without mishap at Anneville late
Monday, according to word today.
Men Rescued At Sea.
The Belgian Aero Club, promoter
of the race, is endeavoring to get
trace of the balloons.
The belief that the other balloons
were swept seward was due to the
circumstances of the Spanish bal
loon, Hesperio, coming down on the
sea yesterday.
Its crew was rescued by an Amer
lean steamer. Another balloon was
forced down on the shore of the
ocean by west winds.
The pilots of the missing balloons
are all noted for their courage.
Members of the Aero Club said
the pilots realized the greatest
hazard was that their balloons
might be blown out over the At
lantic ocean, but that they hoped
a north air current would carry
them to England.
If this expected north air cur
rent did not appear then, aero club
officials said, there was a posi-
