NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Allied and German Foreign
Ministers Agree at Last
on the Security Pact.
Rx EDWARD W. PlcKARp

CECURITY for western Europe APP
- pears to have been achieved by
the agreement reached last week by
the conference of allied and German
foreign ministers and other statesmen
at Locarno, Switzerland. Great tact
and a spirit Of Cancellation were dis
played by all concerned and obstacles
that for time seemed. insurmountable
were climbed over or removed. The
most serious of these were the de-
mands Of Poland, but Poland's politi-
cal and financial position is exceeding
ly shaky, and so she was brought into
line by pressure from those on whom
she depends. Germany was most in
sistent on a provision exempting her
from application of article 16 Of the
covenant upon her joining the League
Of Nations, but was persuaded to ac-
cept a "gentleman's agreement" by
which the allies promised to use their
good offices to obtain for her this ex-
,emption and also to provide eventually
for colonial mandates.
II was agreed that the Polish and
Czech arbitration treaties with Ger
many should be guaranteed by the
league, France undertaking to look aft
err the interests Of her eastern allies.
If those allies get into a quarrel with
Germany, France is to have the right
to send troops through German terri
tory to their aid only If the league
council unanimously declares Germany
at fault. ASS
France gains in the agreement a
guarantee of her eastern frontier with
assurance of safety from attack from
the east; and this presumably will
make it possible for her to decrease
her armed forces and so reduce SUBJ
stantially her military budget. Great
Britain and Italy guarantee that the
Rhine frontier shall not be disturbed.
Germany is to be readmitted to the
concert of European powers on an
equal footing; the Cologne zone is to
be evacuated, conditions in the Rhine
land are to be ameliorated and the
status of the Saar region is to be~re-
considered; rehabilitation Of Ger
many's commercial aviation industry
is to be permitted, and there will be
no further fear Of sanctions for her
failure to fulfill the, Versailles treaty.
After the drafts Of the agreements
had been approved by President Won
Hindenburg and the German cabinet,
Premier Mussolini; who is also foreign
minister Of Italy, went to Locarno to
sign for his country as guarantor with
Great Britain of the security pact.
Only the drawing up of the four ar
bitration treaties remained to be done,
and it was planned to have all the doc
uments ready for signing by Saturday
night. Too much credit cannot be
given the statesmen who have brought
about those pacts, and when the
treaties go into effect the whole civil
lized world will breathe sigh Of re-
lief.

ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listener-In

To Irwin S. Cobb go, the laurels
for being an energetic rad Ia
speaker.
His courage, the hypnotic influ
ence of his name and his person
atty carried him over. What he
said was of no moment. 1t was
the way he said it that counted,
His courage helped him because
without a doubt less experienced
| speaker would have hesitated for
quite a while before he would have
chosen to tell old jokes that he
knew thoroughly rather than new
jokes that he might have stumbled
ever.
Several times in the course of
his address erpectant chuckles es-
capped US as an old gloom fighter
clad in new war paint blinded us
momentarily to believe it was q
Young buck. But they were all
covered graciously with the roars
Of applause from the members of
The Sphinx Club after the revela-
ton.
1t certainly was an appreciative
audience at that dinner and the
gentleman who sat just little to
the left Of the microphone kept
us all jolly with his rumbling ex-
CARNATIONS.
In the selections presented last
night by the United States Marine
Band Orchestra the suite OF Oriental
numbers struck US as being the
best offering OF the evening. Sew
eral other numbers of the orchestra
and q few during the Edison hour
played by the ensemble pleased us.
