Communists and Cake.

Communist newspapers comment
humorously on the predicament of an
enthusiastic member of the party. This
communists wife started to bake the
usual cake for church holiday. He
explained that as he did not observe
such days cake was unnecessary
The wife insisted, and he finally agreed
that the cake be baked, but specified
that 1t be different in shape from the
ordinary. The wife replied that a
cake of any other shape would be
foolish and began to cry. The com
munist became angry, declared that he
was the head of the family and for
bade his wife TO bake the cake. Then
he recalled that in communist fam
lily husband and wife are equal, and
that he could not give orders. So,
ask some communist WRITER'S what
can Il loyal communist do If he wants
peace at home, especially If he likes
cake?

POLES INTERESTED
 IN SECURITY PACT
Together With CzechO,SlOVakia
 Want to Attend Meeting

Geneva, Sept, 10. tP-The dis patching of an invitation to Germany to send her foreign minister to meet the allied representatives in a first conference 10 discuss the proposed security pact Is being delayed, large ly due to embarrassment among the allies as to how to treat Poland and Czecho-Slovakia, both of whom ardently desire to be represented.
 France is particularly embarrassed because she is In alliance with both these countries and neither wishes to abandon them nor seem to be ignor- Ing their interest.
 England's Attitude
 England seems 10 be determined to restrict the conversations with the German foreign minister to France, Belgium, Italy and herself, feeling strongly that the proposed Rhine land pact should be handled as a separate concrete issue and not tied up with or complicated by any at tempts to settle the security prob loms between Germany and Ger many's eastern neighbors.
 Poland and Czecho- -slovakia, how ever, fear that they may be left in the lurch If the main German secu- rity pact Is negotiated without con- stant account being taken of arbitral arrangements 10 be concluded later between them and Germany.
 A French spokesman said last night that If Poland and Czecho- -Slo- vakia are not actual participants in the first meeting with Germany's representative they should not be far removed from the meeting place which means that France will confer constantly with her allies during the conference.
 Treaties with Poland
 Count Skrzynsky. forcing minister of Poland, last night interviewed Austen Chamberlain. British foreigr secretary in an effort to ascertain how far Great Britain would be willing to go toward guaranteeing Germany's eastern neighbors agains possible aggression.
 l In the afternoon Count Skrzynsky and Dr. Eduard Benes. foreign min. ister of Czecho-Slovakia met to dis cuss the terms of the proposed Ger man arbitration treaties with Poland and Czecho- -Slovakia, which are like ly to be prepared for early action.
 These two accords, by agreement between Poland and Czecho- -Slovakia will be concluded at practically the same time and offer the same guar antees and advantages to both na' tions.
 It is reported here tht Foreigr Minister Tchitcherin of Russia wil send an unofficial representative tt Geneva to follow the deliberations oi the assembly and to keep an eye or the security negotiations between the allies and Germany.
