WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

connection with the present unpleasant
ness. In the past, they have been &C
cuStomed but to ask In order 10 re-
ceive. Sweet an issue as 1t ought TO
be. sugar is filling them with bitterness
nowadays. The Utah beet barons are
thunderstruck by Senator Shoots In
ability to get whatever he wants, IN
accordance with time -honored habit.
His detractors with whom the wish
may be the father to the thought sug-
gest that the sliding scale for sugar
rates may be the toboggan down which
Shoots political prestige may coast to
destruction.
Cool weather and the other Midsum-
mer attractions of Washington are lur-
ing motor tourists by the thousands to
these parts, but they're in mighty hard
luck at the moment II they attempt
to navigate anywhere within two or
three blocks Of the White House and
the Treasury. Summer street repairing
operations have thrown traffic condi-
tions in that region into about as
chaotic and exaSperating system Of
absurd detours as could possibly be con-
trived for the irritation OF drivers. An
other seasonal attraction now being
staged for Washington visitors Is the
presence in the immediate proximity
Of the Treasury of some mechanical
street-paving apparatus with din
reminiscent Of an artillery barrage on
the western front. The American
Capital remains the loveliest while be-
coming one of the noisiest cities on this
hectic earth.

Taft of Cincinnati as the successor to
Mabel Walker Willebrandt as Assistant
Attorney General of the United States.

tice was recently White House guest
He has made an outstanding record as
prosecutor of Hamilton County, Ohio

dad held. Insiders say that nothing
would please President Hoover better
than II the 32-year-old Charles Phelps
Taft. II. could be prevailed upon to
tackle the work Of prohibition law en-
forcement. recently in charge of Mrs.
Willebrandt. To be remembered is Hoo
ver's plan to consolidate all enforcement
judicial affairs in the Department of
Justice. It would be striking thing
If the sons Of Charles Evans Hughes and

France Ratifes.

Premier Poincare doubtless would
have preferred more impressive debt
ratification majority than eight votes in
the French Chamber of Deputies, but
it is enough. In the dawn of yesterday
two hundred and ninety-two members
cast their ballots against unconditional
approval of tie Mellon Berenger agree
ment and only 300 voted for it. yet this
governments program prevailed and
French financial honor is indicated.
NJ. Poincare and his brilliant foreign
minister, NJ BRAND. acquire a fresh
claim on American appreciation. They
made a tenacious fight agains: parlia-
mentcry and political odds that seemed
overwhelming. While they were plead
ing for action primarily and directly of
benefit to France-action designed to
brand the republic an honest debtor
and to enhance French economic pres
tige throughout the world-the leaders
of the Paris cabinet were called upon to
defend the United States against I'M
Just aspersions. In their fanatical zeal
to overthrow the Poincare government
its enemies harped on all the ancient
anti-American chords with Uncle Shy
lock" as the leitmotif. In securing rat
i1cation Of the debt pact the French
cabinet, by the same token, repealed the
debt determinations leveled at our own
Government and people.
France does a good stroke Of business
for herself in placing this tardy o. K.
on an agreement negotiated In her
name three years ago. In the first place,
it obviates the necessity to pay the
United States the s40o,0o0.000 due Au-
gust /. 1929, on the separate war stocks
purchase transaction. Congress offered
to lump this special debt with the whole
French war debt sum, funded over a
period of sixty-two years, provided the
Mellon erenger pact were ratified prior
to August /. Under that agreement,
France is to pay us a grand total of
s4,025 100000. Of which $685., 00o, 900 is
accrued interest. The first two annui-
"::eess are to be s3O,Ooo,o0o, increasing to
s125,ooo,ooo in the seventeenth year and
continuing until the last payment of
S117675, 900 In the sixty-second year.
The French Senate has still to
concur in the ratification by the Cham
Der, but the Poincare majority in the
upper house is so secure that an APP
proving vote there is a mere formality.
This Is imminent, and then q long
pending bone of Franco-American con-
tention will no longer exist.
The way now is paved at Paris for
ratification of the Young plan. AS the
chief beneficiary Of German repara-
tons, French acquiescence In the ex-
perts' agreement is all-vital. NJ Poin-
care insisted upon Mellon Berenger
ratification, unhampered by any so-called
safeguard" reservations about French
moratorium in Washington in case Ger
many defaulted on reparation payments
He has won his point. The Young
plan should now be headed for formal
adoption on the Quai dOrsay. That
accomplished. Europe will experience
new economic birth. Messrs Poincare
and BRAND deserve we'll o. their coun-
try, Of this country and of the world at
large for their yeoman service In bring
ing it about.

From here to there, or anywhere
With not a faint restraint of care.
