LEAGUE IN GERMAN
GRIP IN CRISIS IS
GENEVA'S OPINION
All Other Nations Held Pow
erIess to Move on Question
of Expansion.

GENEVA, March 6.-"F7Or the first
time in the history of the League of
Nations Great Britain and France can
do nothing. All the cards are in the
hands of Germany"
This statement was made today by
A parsonage in summing up the tur-
moil over the reconstruction of the
council of the league, which is TO
come up at the sessions beginning
next Monday, and which has caused
the greatest crisis in the Geneva in
stitution since its birth,
This may he said to portray the
present situation in the scramble for
permanent seats in the council. II
means that Germany. even before en-
terinS the league. has won the first
skirmish in what is known here AS her
greatest peace offensive to be conduct
ed through the inStrumentality of the
league.
Must Ok. Expansion.
With Germany sure TO obtain admit
tanCe to the league. the present situ-
alton is taken to mean that Germanys S
consent must he obtained for any en-
Iarcement Of the league council and
in particular is regards the candidacy
of Poland.
In league circles the opinion pre-
walls that Germany's former enemies
committed tactical error in launch
ing Polands claim for a permanent
seat under conditions which made il
appear that there was a secret pact,
calculated 10 undermine the effects of
the Locarno aCcords and in violation
OF the tacit agreement at LOCarno
that when Germany came into the
league council she would come in
alone.
If the lea que is to remain truly in
ternational and not shrink into a pure
ly European institution. il is recOC
nized that Latin America. with L?
members in the organization, must
have a fair proportion of seats in the
council, and that if the council is en-
larged. Latin Americas two seats
must be increased.
Two Seats NOn.permanent.
Only two seats, those held by Spain
and Belgium. are really non-perma-
nent seats. open for all candidates. for
the league undoubtedly always will
allocate one nOn-permanent seat to
the Little Entente, another to the
NordiC Scandinavian group and two to
Latin America.
With Great Britain. and undOubted
ly also Sweden. determined to con.
suit Germanv's wishes. and with 9th
ers endeavOrinG even to win cOnces.
sions from Germany four countries
are dema nding new permanent chairs
in the Brazil. Spain, Poland
and China.
Although the special assembly for
the election of Germany will he held
in the Reformation Hal, as have all
the assemblies of the past. it is plan
ned to hold the next regular assembly
in September in the Geneva Election
Building. This is 4 large and com
modious structure near the Geneva
Opera House. With suitable altera.
tions, it can accommodate a much
larger number than the Reformation
Hall.
One .rea son for the projected change
is the expected presence of some 400
American journalists, who during the
September assembly will he in Geneva

TRAFFIC EXPERTS
ASK SEVERE FINES
Safety Committee Says
Heavy Punishment Only
Cure for ReckIeSsneSS.

Severe punishment is the only way
certain traffic violators can he han
died. in the opinion of the committee
on enforcement of the National Con-
ference on Street and Highway Safety.
A report to Secretary Hoover by the
committee TODAY declared that uni
form. impartial enforcement of rea
sOnable requirements by adequate and
properly organized police is primary
necessity in reducing street and high
way accidents" At the same time the
committee held that accident preven-
ton and not vengeance upon those
causing accidents should be the ulti
mate aim and the value of warnings
should he utilized to the fullest ex-
tent.
Functions of the different branches
of police in traffic control and traffic
law enforcement We're outlined by the
committee Traffic control police
should be specially trained. the report
said. and their major duty should be
to conduct traffic smoothly. expedi-
tiouslv and safely, although they
should make arrests when necessary.
The traffic patrol police are chiefly
responsible for apprehension of traffc
violators. but should also assist In
traffic control. They should not work
under cover. hut should he in uniform
and openly active. The regular police
should also aid in apprehending viola
tors of the traffic laws.
Urge Traffic Courts.
The committee emphasized the need
for we'll organized procedure in the
prosecution Of traffic violators, and
urged special traffic courts for the
larger cities.
The courts have a large response
bility. in the view of the committee.
to instill in the public respect for the
traffic laws by even-handed treatment
of offenders The committee recoS
niZed that fines are the only feasible
punishment for small offenders, but
believes they have a deterring effect
If materially increa sed with each Of
fense Imprisonment it finds to he
much stronger deterrent than a fine
and recommends more frequent use
of IL for serious offenses. including
ma andatory imprisonment for a sec
ond conviction for driving while
drunk.
The committee pointed out that
pedestrians are involved in more than
half Of all personal injury accidents
and urged that special vigor he ap.
piled to both the punishment Of We
hicle operators violating the pro-
visions affecting pedestrians and of
pedestrians who violate the pro
visions. Judge William McAdoo, chief
city magistrate of New York, is chair
man of the committee.
