guilty before world opinion Of the
present imbroglio. The British
spokesman said that as there were
only thirty six hours to the opening
of the assembly Tuesday. those who
were creating obstacles must publicly
shoulder their responsibility. Throw
ing the conflict onto the assembly
Tuesday seemed. therefore. early to-
night as inevitable unless tomorrow
some agreement between the Ger
mans and allies is reached. A new
angle of the general situation de-
veloped tonight from British circles
where it was pointed out that the
question had become delicate. almost
impossible of solution, because pub
lie opinion of the various countries
concerned in the conflict for the dele
gates to make further concessions
because of the high state of excit-
ability of home opinion.
Hence, it was logical and right. in
the opinion of the British. that the
dispute should be brought into the
open and publicly discussed by the
representatives of all lands, so that
the people throughout the world
might have q better opportunity to
place the responsibility.
The French spokesman declared
that France would not bulge an inch
from her position of favoring nom
permanent seat for Poland stimuli
taneously with a permanent seat for
Germany, and voiced the French con-
yiction that the majority OF the as

sition as one of Cancellation and gen.

most of the delegates. was not only
put forth to express the attitude OF
the allied delegations, but also as n
sort of last hour pressure on the
Germans TO make them realize that
the allied governments were IN ear

From German headquarters came
a slightly optimistic note. which
was found in the fact that the Ger
man jurists had been sitting all day
struggling with formula, which, as
one official spokesman said. "would

Germans Hopeful
OF Events Today
At Geneva Meeting

Geneva, March 14.-{AP)--Gustay
Stresemann, the German foreign min
lister, on returning to his hotel late to-
night after having dinner with NJ. I'm
den, the Swedish foreign minister,
said: II am hopeful for tomorrow. OF
course our hopes depend ON the atti-
tudes of the other people. That is all
L can say now"
1t is understood that Dr. Stresemann
and M. Under have arranged a COM
promise formula which will be submit
ted to the league council Monday.
The allied and German statemen
labored throughout the day In q spirit
Of good will in the hope OF finding a
solution to what is considered q crit
ical problem. Viscount Ishii, as pres.
ident of the council. cancelled today's
session at the request Of M. Under,
who explained that he wanted more
time to attempt mediation.
Japan was, described by one Of its
representatives as favoring the imme-
date election Of Germany and the i'm
mediate study Of the question Of en-
largement OF the council based on the
underlying principles Of the covenant,
which advocated calm reflection and
later a report by the investigating
committee after it had examined all
the candidates, including the Brazilian.

ants.
Viscount Ishii had made this propos-
al to the council as the most reason
able solution in the interest of the
league. The members Of the council
and other prominent delegates spent
the day urging the representatives of
Spain and Brazil not to push. their
claims for permanent seats at the
preseab time, as they would undoubt-
eddy. secure them when the council

bind Germany morally but not legal
lyf' to support Poland's candidacy.
A number of representative dele
gates not connected with the present
crisis, with whom the correspondent
of The Associated Press talked,
seemed hopeful that the controversy
would be regulated. They refused to
believe that the question of six
months time, which in effect was all
that divided the allies and Germany,
could be made justification before
international opinion for the destruc-
ton of Locarno pacts and endanger-
ing the future of the league of ma
tions. Most of the delegates feel
confident that Poland could be elect
ed to a nom permanent seat in Sep
TENDER; so that the point really at
issue is whether she will be elected
Immediately or later.
The delegates generally expected
the conviction that the allies and the
Germans were gradually getting
closer together and that no break
would come. That the situation even
seemed humorous to some was shown
by the suggestion made by many
that the allies and Germany put their
Polish solutions In a hat and have a
neutral delegate draw.
Both Premier BRAND Of France ana
M. Vandervelde of Belgium held pri-
vate conversations with the German
statesmen, which, for one thing,
demonstrated the exactitude of the
British contention that the French
and German leaders are fearful of
Their home opinion.

states are sitting up and taking no.
.tice as to the results the Maine
campaign has brought about and
are modelling similar plans after
the Maine program. The news and
editorial comments in the various
New England papers will unite in
praise of the foresight and initiative
of Maine. and call upon their re-
spective states to "go and do like
wise.''
If anyone doubts the results Of
the campaign in Maine and its bene-
fetal results, the last government re-
ports from savings banks and trust
companies deposits in the State is
the best answer as to whether her
citizens are undergoing period Of

have yet to vote but reports from
the county chairmen indicate they
will go we'll over the top with larg-
err appropriations than last year
and those cities and towns who
made no appropriation last year will
do so this year.
This is the first direct barometer
that those in charge of the State
Department program have had to
get the true reaction of the people
of the State as to the worthiness
of the work being done to develop
the State along agricultural, indus
trial and recreational lines.
If the action of the people Of the
State voting at the town meetings
can be taken as a true indication of
their faith in the beneficial results
already received by the publicity
campaign, it shows that Maine is
united in the work to put Maine in
its proper place among the leaders
of the states of the Union for flu
ture development and industrial
and agricultural expansion.

was enlarged at a later date. They
besought the Spanish and Brazilian
ambassadors not to make the contro-
yersy more acute when there was some
hope Of settling the Polish question.
Apparently this appeal had no effect,
for one of the allied foreign ministers
announced tonight that the attitude
of one non-European country" was
complicating the whole problem. Later
it was admitted that the country was
Brazil, and 1t is understood that the
Rio Janeiro is vigorously maintaining
it's demand to be accorded at least the
permanent chair reserved for the
United States.
DR.. Regis de Oliveira, Brazilian am
bassador. to Great Britain, visited Sir
Austen Chamberlain today. and 1t was
reported afterwards in diplomatic cir
cles that he had informed the British
foreign secretary that Brazil would
resign from the league unless she OBJ
tanned a regular permanent seat. or
the seat reserved for the United
States.
British circles had the report that
Sweden was weary of being held re-
sponsible for the deadlock and had ac-
cepted the allied proposal for an inn
mediate increase in the temperament
seats so that Poland could be elected.
Sweden, 1t was declared, no longer
wished to bear the brunt of the re-
sponsibility for a possible rupture.
DR.. Stresemann also had a CONSUL
tation with M. BRAND, the French
premier. The two statesmen agreed
that the mutual interests. in Germany
and France made q settlement impera-
tive.
This, with the prediction by the Ger
man foreign ministers that hopeful
progress would be made, brought a
distinctly more optimistic atmosphere,
particularly with reference to the Pol
ish side of the problem.

Texas Committee
Man Resents Talk on
Federal Patronage

Washington, March 14.-(AP)-B.
B. Creager, Republic national COM
mitteeman from Texas. today assail-
ticut, the Republican leader in the
House, for taking hand in the con-
troversy over Republican patronage
in Texas.
While the Republican organization
in that state welcomes suggestions
courteously offered by Republicans
from other states" he wrote, "it res
pectfully but very firmly declines the
advice rendered in a hectoring and
tlictatorial spirit"
Mr.. Creager, who is now in Wash
ington, made public a letter to Mr..
Tilson tonight, asking cofnizance OF
what he described as an "unfortu-
nate" combination between the floor
leader in defense Of Representative
Wurzbach and Leonard Wilmington,
secretary OF the Texas state commit
tee, which was approved Friday
night by the Republican congression-
al campaign committee.
If Mr.. WurZbach, who recently
criticized the handling of Texas pa
tronage on the floor of the House,
fails to be renominated. said Mr..
Creager, "it will be solely and alone
because of his own folly and for no
other reason"
Mr.. Creager's letter to Represen-
tative Tilson, recited statements in
the floor leaders communication
charging use of patronage In Texas
to destroy the Republican majority
IN the House and suggesting that the
"so-called" organization in the state
was functioning solely for the .distri-
button and enjoyment OF patronage.
"You ignore the fact that Texas
Republicans now have actual legal

"You ignore the fact that during

Of the state egislature--that we have

district offices throughout Texas
