ALLIES IN ACCORD
ON SECURITY PACT
BRAND and Chamberlain
Agree on Reply to Ger
man Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, August 12.-"Complete
accord between Aristide BRAND and
Austen Chamberlain, foreign ministers
of France and England, in regard to
the reply to Germany regarding the
proposed security pact, was announced
in a communique issued at o'clock
this afternoon by a member of Mr..
Brands staff. The communique says:
THE conversations between NJ.
BRAND and Mr.. chamberlain have re-
suited in complete accord on the
terms of the answer which is to be
sent by the French government in
agreement with the allied powers in
reply to the latest note from the Ger
man Reich concerning treaties of mu-
tual guarantee and arbitration"
The communique continues:
These conversations have furnished
an occasion for the exchange of views
on the subject of the projected security
pact. Such pact cannot take definite
form until conversations have been
engaged in on this subject between
representatives of all the interested
parties. The conversations in London
have largely contributed in fastening
the time for th~ eventual converse
tions, which will permit of definite
final results
HOughtOn at Luncheon.
NJ. BRAND and Mr.. Chamberlain
later were luncheon guests at the
French embassy, where Winston
Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer,
was one of the guests invited to meet
the French foreign minister.
While some quarters found occa-
sion for much comment in the fact
that Alanson B. Houghton, the Ameri-
can Ambassador, was a guest with
NJ. BRAND at luncheon at the French
Embassy yesterday and at Mr.. Cham
berlain's dinner last night, in the most
responsible diplomatic circles this fact
was said not to have the slightest
significance.
The reply on which the two foreign
ministers have agreed, according to
the best sources of Information, is not
argumentative in character and it's
various points are set down with a
minimum of words. 1t is said to carry
the suggestion that the preliminary
interchangeS have reached such a
point that negotiations now best can
be carried on by means of personal
meetings. These meetings, it is point
ed out, will have much better chance
of ironing out the remaining differ
ences between the German and allied
points of view than written inter.
changes, which do not achieve the
clarity necessary to produce full &C.
cord.

Responsibility at Crossings
Should Be Motorists,

PEDESTRIAN INSTRUCTION
CONTINUING ON AVENUE
Abolition of Left-Hand Turns at
14th Street Intersection Held
Safety Move.

With the District authorities and
officials of the street car companies
still holding widely divergent views
on what the street cars should do at
boulevard stops" Acting Traffic Di-
rector Moller turned his attention
again today to the pedestrians and
methods by which their lives will be
more adequately protected.
The proposal advanced today by
Col. Moller is to amend the traffic
regulations by fixing a minimum pen
atty of S25 for motorists who fail to
give the pedestrian the right of way
at non-policed street intersections.
At present the right-of-way rule
for pedestrians at cross-walks comes
under the general penalty clause,
ranging anywhere from 81 to $500.
Col Moller believes a minimum fine
of $25 would add considerable impor
tance to the regulation, giving pedes-
TRANS right of way at unpoliced in
tersections, although he admitted that
it would be an extremely difficult reg
ulation to enforce.
Boulevard Stops to BE Argued.
In the meantime, one of the most
interesting situations which has yet
arisen regarding traffic here-the
argument over street car stops at
boulevards-was to be thraShed out
in a day or two when street car Off
cials and District authorities get to-
gether to determine what street cars
should be required to do at each of
the 65 or more points at which car
tracks cross boulevard highways.
a survey of the situation today
indicated that the problem would be
solved along the following lines:
At many of. the busy intersections of
street car track and boulevards traf-
fic policemen viii be stationed, which
will do away with discussion as to the
right of way, since all traffic would be
governed by the officer.
At certain other boulevard inter

JAPAN OPPOSES
j. s. PARLEY VIEW
Latter'S Plan to Leave
Agenda Open Meets With
Objections.
By the Associated Press.


TOKYO, August Japan and
America are holding conversations re-
garding the scope of the customs
conference in connection with the sug-
gestion of the Washington Govern
ment for enlargement of the agenda
to include matters not considered by
the Washington agreement.
1t is understood that Washington
fayors a discussion at the conference
of customs autonomy for China in
view of the present naturalization
movement.
The foreign office stated to the
Associated Press that Japan is willing
to cooperate with America in every
way, but feels that the customs con-
ference should be held strictly in ac-
cordance with the Washington agree
ment.
The situation Is somewhat delicate
In view of Japan's interest toward
China, spokesmen for the foreign
Office stating "all countries suspect
Japan of ulterior motives, conse-
quently Japan is unable to initiate
any move, but is compelled to follow
the lead of the powers"
While Tokyo is not taking an un-
alterable stand regarding the con-
ference, it is probable that extensive
conversations will be required to ef.
feet an agreement as to the agenda.

Fl11tSeth Fares Forth

A NDERW FuruSeth, ABE Lincoln of
"A the Sea" soon will be off to Europe
on his biggest job. He hopes to do for
seamen of other countries what he has
done for American seamen.
America. of all lands, thanks to Furu-
seth, treats her sailors like free-men.
The purpose of the Seamen's act of 1915
was to permit sailor the right every
landsman has, that is TO leave his ship
and master if he is dissatisfied with the
Job. The rest of the nations persist in
the slave clause which makes a sailor
leaving his ship in safe harbor deserter
and felon
Furuseth is setting out to Holland
Denmark, Sweden. Norway, Germany,
France and England to persuade these
nations to write a new international
statute in line with the twentieth century
and to include in it the Magma Charta of
the seamen. the La Toilette law
If the western world persists in man
ming It's merchant marine with slaves
instead of men the trade of the world will
go TO the Orient" says Furuseth THE
Occidental will not much longer sell him
self to master and ship-owner When
the young man desiring to go to sea
realizes that to do so he must sacrifice
all the rights he has on landAhe will refuse
to go. The tools of any artisan go to
those who know how to use them. The
ship, which is the sailors tool, will go to
the nation that has learned to use it.
Under the maritime laws of every ma
ton except America the seaman is a
slave from the time he signs his contract
until it expires, either automatically or by
will of the master. If the seaman ter
inmates the contract he goes to Jail. 1t is
about time the hundreds of thousands of
seamen of the world were set free

setting forth single-handed to battle the

upon with horror by all good citizens?
Do you recall the stigma which attached
itself TO the Jail bird? Has that stigma

Whatever the social significance Of it,
the fact remains that with stringent pro-
hibition laws and Jail sentences trailing
in the wake of every person who drives
car it's the rare citizen who keeps out
of Jail. Almost everybody has at least
bowling acquaintance with the police

This Man ETpldin

NOW that Senator James Watson has
IN explained that the administration
idea is to enforce prohibition till it hurts
. and then find out whether or not the
people want it. we may have a clue TO
another administration policy.
Led by ex-congressman and ex-lobbyist
William r Humphrey, the federal trade
commission is going as far as it can TO
carry out hands-off-business program.
Publicity for offenders against laws that
prohibit unfair trade practices has prac-
tically been stopped If concern is
caught indulging in such practices and
promises to be good, it will be kept a
secret between the offender and the trade
commission-and. of course, the victim
who called the matter to the trade COM
missions attention. The commission, until
recently reorganized, proceeded on the
theory that the fear of publicity would
cause pretty general good behavior. That
fear is now removed.
Is it the new theory that business
should be allowed to run wild until it
finds out whether or not it wants to be
regulated-that is, protected against UNI
fair members within its ranks?
