The five treaties and subsidiary
understandings resulting from the
Locarno conference have very much
clarified the political atmosphere OF
Europe. The Dawes agreement led
the way and had to come first, but
the mutual confidence engendered
by it prepared all the parties for
further adventure in peaceful ne
gotiations. The new agreements
with all that they promise OF Sc
curity for Europe will strengthen
and safeguard the Dawes agreement
for everything depends upon the
scrupulous observance of good faith
in all relationships.
The new agreements entered into
at Locarno are not to be construed
as weakening the League of Ma
tons by ignoring it or withdraw
ing causes from its jurisdiction, for
they are all expressly subject to the
covenant of the League and refer
at last to the League authority.
One. of the conditions is that Ger
many shall join the League in order
to be under common autho- ity. The
League, however, is world-inclu-
siye organization, and the purpose
of these agreements is to more
closely and specifically bind the ma
lions which are involved in the Eu-
ropean situation to the policy OF
Cancellation and arbitration as re-
CARDS difficulties arising among
themselves. France and Germany
make solemn and specific pledges to
each other upon this point, and
Great Britain and Italy join in CIV
ing a guaranty to each of these con-
tracing parties that the other will
observe good faith, promising to
come Immediately to the defence OF
the ono attacked. Furthermore,
separate agreements are entered IN
to between Germany and Czecho--
slovakia and between Germany and
Poland for the arbitration OF all
disputes arising between them, and
France guarantees both sides
against default on the part of the
other. The policy is to settle such
controversies among the parties inn
mcdiately interested. but as MEM
bers of the League these contract
ing powers are pledged not only to
each other but to all the nations
composing the League, and are
subject to the penalties for the vio-
lation of peace which may be i'm
posed by the League.
The Strength of the Agreements
The strength OF these agreements
ultimately lies in the desire of all
peoples for peace and for protection
against aggression by others. The
danger TO peace is not in universal
desire for war but in universal sus-
picion and fear. War has become a
calamity so terrible that all nations
desire to avert it, but they want Sc
curity against each other. This the
network of treaties, which throws
out anchors in many directions, at
tcmpts to give.

self when the Waterman made an
apparent effort to bean" him with a
lantern.
Concurring with previous testimony
of his co-defendants, Edward j.
Heinlein and John j. Mclaughlin,
that the holdup was carried out on
the spur of the moment without pre-
conceived plan, DevereauX related his
part in it.
While Heinlein and Mclaughlin
ran upstairs to the cashiers cage in
the barn to seize $3.50 In fare re-
ceipts, he said, he forced two men to
lie on the floor below. He went to
look for Ferneau when one of the
men told him there was 'another
man around somewhere" and found
him in the car house.
Il told him to drop his lantern and
come with me and he wouldn't get
hurt" DevereauN testified. He didn't
seem to understand, kept edginG to-
ward me- 1 told him again. but his
arm seemed to be stiffening and then
he swung the lantern at me. duck

and he dropped the lantern and grab
bed me by the coat. l dubbed my
gun and hit him two or three times.
I probably landed one solid one. He
slumped down and I left him."
Under cross examination Dever-
eaux said he had no intent to Kill
when he fired or when he struck with
his revolver. He admitted that as he
ran back to see il his companions
"had finished upstairs" Ferneau was
grooming, "Oh, my Leg"
He admitted that when tod there
was another man in the building
that he said "All right, I'll go and
get him." but denied that he used the
word get" in the sense of Kill.
II was going to make him lie down
on the floor with the other two" the
defendant declared.
Peter v. King, who drove the BAN
dts car to the scene. and Joseph n,

holdup, Devereaux declared. King

upon foreign trade. More than a
year ago the government appointed
committee headed by Sir Arthur
Balfour to inquire into the state OF
industry and trade and its report
has become available in recent
months. 1t shows that in the year
1928 the exports of all countries
taken together were only about Is
per cent in physical volume of what
they were in 1913, but Great Bri-
tain's share was slightly larger than
in 1913. These arc the latest avail
able figures for world trade, and
they afford no basis for the assump-
ton that Great Britain is declin-
ing factor in it. The explanation
is that world trade has not yet re-
covered from the disorganizing in
fluences of the war and the dis
ruption of price relations which was
incidental to the slump of 1901.
Economic Conditions in Germany
DIR. Schacht tells of even more
trying conditions in Germany,
whose exports in physical volume
are scarcely more than one-half
what they were in 1918, and much
below imports, situation the re-
verse of that required for country
which has large payments to make
abroad.
The currency is stabilized, but
considerably less in volume than
the amount of currency and gold
coin which was in circulation in
1918, and considering the higher
volume of money in use in other
countries and the higher level OF
prices, the volume of money and OF
bank credit is plainly inadequate
Germany is suffering from lack
of mobile capital. Considerable IN
employment exists, and the amount
would be much larger but for the
legal regulations which prevent dis
missal of employees. The industries,
commercial houses, banks and other
| employers have their pay-rolls load
| ed with employees who are not
| needed and would not be carried
| if dismissal did not mean throwing
burden upon the public funds,
Although wages are nominally low,
industrial costs, including the ST.
perf1uous employees. are not low,
and conditions are as demoralizins
to efficiency as in England where
the unemployment dole system pre-
walls.
This situation, however, plainly
accounts for the low bids of Ger
man manufacturers in some lines,
complained of in England, for ac-
tuaf wage rates are low, and as
the employers have the idle men on
their rolls they are eager to get
work for them to do. Industrial
expansion Is held in check, how
ever. by the scarcity of credit. II
working capital or credit was album
dant, exports might be largely in
creased on the present wage base,
but on the other hand if the in
dustrics could expand their oper-

new FOOD
. SAVES TIME
New Data is a Real Improve
ment on Oats

For years women have wanted a new
hot cereal. A dish with the real nour-
ishment Of oats and with an even bet
ter flavor. This is New Data. The first
real improvement on oats in fifty
years. The most favorous, satisfying
breakfast you ever tasted. You Just
take New Data, heat it three minutes
In boiling water before serving, and
presto - the most delicious of hot
cereals for cool mornings!
New Data is a blend-a blend of
two of natures most favored grains.
The Kellogg folks have taken the keen
relish of oats, the exquisite goodness
of wheat, and combined them to create
new, tempting, tantalizing flavor-a
wondrous new breakfast food. It's
a glorious combination.
There's another wonderful thing
about New Data 1t never gets that
soggy, mushy body that you find in
ordinary oatmeal. New Data is always
light, always delicious, always perfect
in texture.
Your grocer has New Data. Try a
package today.

The agreements will not of them
selves silence controversy or abate
suspicion, but they tend to bring
every subject of controversy into
the open and compel every con-
testant to justify his claims before
a tribunal composed in part of neu-
trail judges. In the treaties be-
tween Germany on the one side and
Czechoslovalia and Poland as the
other parties permanent Cancellation
commissions are established which
shall consist of FIVE members, OF
whom the parties at interest shall
each have one and the other three
shall be nationals of three foreign
countries, one of the latter to be
chairman.
When confidence is established
that these methods of settling dis
putes between nations assure peace
and security, and afford relief from
the burdens of military establish
ments, it may be expected that all
countries will join in supporting
them, and voluntarily avoid acts
which will tend to unscttle that con-
hdence.
And finally out of the negotiations
for the settlement of political con-
troversies there may develop a bet
ter understanding of the economic
interests which the populations of
different countries have in common.
An interesting suggestion of this
comes in a remark attributed to
M. BRAND, that the Locarno treaties
are the first step to United States
of Europe. Other European states
men are said to have made the sug-
gestion more pointed by saying that
Europe with her contracted areas OF
trade, bounded by custom houses
at short intervals, never can COM
pete with the United States, pos
sessed of a home market of more
than 100,O00,000 people. The old
idea of inevitable antagonism sur
wives in this suggestion, but once
the appreciation of mutual interests
begins to grow the spirit of warfare
will begin to weaken in all rela-
tons. If the other man will buy
your goods you may be interested
| in his prosperity, whether he lives
next door or across the ocean.
Two Distinguished Visitors
This country has had two visitors
of unusual distinction in recent
weeks, in Sir Robert Horne, an ex-
Chancellor of the British Excheq-
uer, and DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, head
of the Reichsbank, the central bank
of Germany. What they have had to
say about conditions in their own
countries, when joined together,
gives very good idea of the con-
ditions which are hampering inter-
national trade.
Great Britain is suffering from
serious unemployment in several
important industries, notably coal.
mining, ship-building. iron and steel
production and cotton goods. They
are industries especially dependent
