Americans Outline Stand

London, March 26 P-If France can obtain the military guarantees of security she wants from some ether nation the United States del4- gation to the five power naval con- ference will consider a proposal for a so-called consultative pact with an entirely open mind"
 A statement issued by the Ameri- can delegation shortl. after last midnight reiterated formerly ex- pressed unwillingness to enter into any treaty involving the United States in any sort of a military guarantee of French security. The consultative pact would merely in- volve consultation with the other five powers in the event of a threat of war.
 Denial was made in the state ment that there had been any change in the previously expressed American attitude in elaborating paragraphs, however, the statement said there was no objection to d consultative pact as such, the dan- ger lying in the American stand being misunderstood to imply an obligation of military assistance.

Hardware Trade Awaits
 More Favorable Weather

New York, March 26.-Reports from leading wholesale hardware and housefurnishing market centers encourage the belief that a general improvement in weather conditions will materially stimulate the sale of merchandise, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in its weekly hardware market summary. Though practi- cally all jobbers report sales for the first quarter as less than for the same period of 1929, there is also the feeling that an active spring trade may be expected to offset that status.
 With the notable exception of cer- tain very seasonal wire products, hardware prices remain essentially firm and competitive pricing among wholesalers is considered surprising ly limited Collections throughout the hardware industry average some- what slow, but should certainly im- prove when spring business opens.

Clears Atmosphere

Paris, March 26 PNThe Ameri- can declaration issued shortly after midnight on the position of the United States regarding proposals for a so-called consultative pact. was regarded in French official circles today as tending to clear the atmos- phere at London and to hasten a de- cision.
 France, it was said continues 10 hope that the naval conference will yield results and Foreign Minister Briand, who left for London at noon, will explore all the avenues of . possible agreement.
 No surprise was expressed here that the United States had reiterated her refusal to become involved in any pact that even implies aid, but the last paragraph suggesting that there may be other methods of guaranteeing French security again directed thought here toward a Mediterranean pact.
 It was recognized that Great Brit ain is averse to being an active third party with France and Italy, but Foreign Minister Briand's speech in the senate yesterday was taken as plainly indicating his optimism that something could be done in some di- rectons.
 Repeats French Policy
 He repeated, however, the French policy of insisting that any reduc- tiOn must he ha sod Inon cOmnep sating terms in some form of se- curity pact, even if it should not be . strictly military one.
 French officials, it was stated still regard the Mediterranean agreement as the obvious solution, but, failing that, hope that the Briand- Kellogg pact for the renunciation of war may be strengthened or that the League of Nations may find a settle ment.
 Whatever the outcome of the pres ent conference, France is represent ed as remaining firmly in favor of the idea of general security pacts. Foreign Minister Brand yesterday told the senate that the old system of alliances was obsolete.
 To-day" he said, there is an all together different conception of se- curity. mutual solidarity for the ben eft Of one great community: calling all nations to draw together and unite against a danger and to ere ate guarantees against it in con- mon."

Shuns Consultative Pact


 Washington, March 26 RHThe emphatic statement that the Ameri- can government would not consider any consultative pact that would ob- ligate military support was made to- day by Acting Secretary Cotton Of the state department, who asserted the position outlined by the Ameri- can delegation at the London naval barley coincided with that of off, Cials here.
 Cotton said it would be a prob- able inference that consultative pact would not mean a material re- duction of tonnage, although il might have a tendency toward that end.
 The American delegations state ment of yesterday, in Cotton's opia- lon, was prompted by reports n London newspapers of a changed position of the United States rep resentatives. He said the statement marked no change in their stand but was merely clarification of 6 position which the United States has maintained throughout.
 Won't Agree to Sanctions
 He said the United States has held constantly that it was not willing to enter into any treat, which would give military or other sanctions to other powers.
 For that matter, he added, ne nation except France had made 6 suggestion for sanctions, and tht French suggestion was set forth IT a public statement last winter. He said he was uninformcd as tc whether the suggestion had beer made officially in the conference.
 Cotton's statement was madc after he had conferred with Presi. dent Hoover this morning. He de. clined to comment on his visit tc the White House.

STATE TEAM READY
FOR OLD LINE FIVE

RALEIGH, N. c., January 31.-North
Carolina State Colleges basket ball
varsity squad yesterday afternoon went
through its final home rehearsal before
departing for the University of Virginia
and the University of Maryland cam
puses for important conference Tits this
week end.
The 1929 Southern tournament cham
pions, in games to date with strongest
opponents in Tarheelia and the Old
Dominion, have shown a weakness in
the guard positions and at making good
on point attempts after fouls. The
sensational offensive, however, while
sorely missing the services of Frank
Goodwin, center, and the country's
leading conference player scorer last
season, has retained much Of its effec-
tiveness.
The defensive positions, vacated by
Bob Warren and Gus Wright, the latter
alternating with Morris johnson, now
captain, this year are being attended to
by q youthful sophomore, Bud Rose, and
johnson. johnson, In reality, Is q for
ward, being the fastest dribbler in the
Atlantic series year ago.
Bill Brake, . reserve from Rocky
Mount, N. c., has done some substi-
with some Of the squads untried mem
bers.
Filling Capt. Hank Young's berth
at forward Is Jimmy Brown, also fast
sophomore, but, like Johnson, he is
small.
Goodwin's job has been cared for by
Bill Morgan, also a second-year coll
legian, and Johnny Cannon, a reserve
who saw some action In the hot battles
Of former campaigns. This pair has
shown up better than Coach Gustav K.
Tebell had anticipated several weeks
ago.
The Wolfpack will meet Virginia to-
night and Maryland tomorrow night.
