VERSAILLES TREATY REVISION
DISCUSSIONS CAUSE ALARM
Poland and Other Nations That ProGted
Shudder at Possible Outcome of
Franco-German Move.

Third, the German answer to Brands
pan-Europa memorandum will be most
conciliatory. With reservations that
nothing be done to offend the United
States and that all the member states
be political equals, the German answer
will approve the BRAND proposal, but
will stress the necessity for first in
creasing wherever possible economic
agreements.
Finally, the evacuation Of the Rhine
land raises the question of how long
the Germans must wait for the French
to disarm, as half promised under the
Versailles treaty.
Conversations Broken on.
Unofhcial conversations between
French and German politicians were re-
Gently broken of, owing to the lack of
success In the Saar negotiations and
to the persecution of Rhineland Sepa-
ratists. They will continue. The Ger
mans want an understanding with
France as much as the French want it
with Germany. The question is the
price.
Numerous details are being discussed
The question of the change in the status
of the Polish railways in the Corridor
has been raised and alarms the Poles.
Questions OF French loans to Germany,
Of agricultural agreements between
Germany and Poland to help East
Prussia and of an increase in the Ger
man Army are also mentioned, as we'll
as colonial mandate for Germany.
Yet, fundamentally, the opinion Is
held that the great question which d.
vides Germany and Poland Is that of
the restitution OF the Corridor-that the
Germans will be satisfied with nothing
less. This problem remains insoluble
The only hope lies in the possibility
that with the growth of the pan
Europa idea this question will be robbed
Of its emotional bitterness.

BY the Associated Press.
A warning to the unemployed, against
going to the site of the $165 600, 900
Boulder Dam project for jobs that do
not exist, was issued today through
the Office of Secretary Wilbur.
All the available jobs for the prelim-
mary work have already been filled, it
was said, and it may be three or four
months before contractors are prepared
to engage larger forces for the con-
struction work. Notice will be given at
the time that construction is ready to
proceed.
Plans for construction. to begin as
early as possible. are going ahead in
light OF the $10,660000 initial appropri-
ton Congress made for the work
The Bureau of Reclamation has re-
ceived dismal reports from Las Vegas,
New, a town of less than 5000 on the
fringe of the desert, and the nearest
community to the dam site.
Many unemployed already have spent
their limited resources to get to Las
Vegas in the hope that jobs could be
found there at once. They have found
no work, and have been unable to leave
to seek work elsewhere.

BERLIN, Germany, July l2.-Unoffi-
cial Franco-German discussions on the
revision of the Versailles treaty are
bringing cold shoulders to all those who
profited chiefly by that treaty, and most
of all Poland. The fact that France, in
view of several factors, has actually
considered making political and eco
nomic concessions to Germany-hSs &C
tually asked the Germans to state their
price for that intimate Franco-German
cooperation which alone can definitely
stabilize the European continents in
one sense the greatest sensation of the
last 10 years.
The factors which have inspired this
are: First, Franco Italian tension; sec
ond, the British Empire tendency which
would take Great Britain's chief inter-
est from the continent; third, the
BRAND pan-Europa proposal, and, fourth,
the Rhineland evacuation.
Germany, for the first time since
Versailles, occupies the key position in
the vast labyrinth of European politics.
Germany'S attitude may be decisive for
a decade.
German Attitude Cautious.
First, the Germans not only will not
listen to Premier MuSsolini's siren voice
to make common cause with him
against the French, but they do not
even wish to push their revisionist de-
sires today for fear of creating the i'm
preston that they are trying to black
mail the French.
Second, they believe that Great Brit
aims gradual withdrawal from the con-
tinent. in the political sense, vastly in
creases their Importance. Since neither
the British nor the German government
intends to back Premier Mussolini, the
Germans consider that Premier MusSo-
lini will not dare to initiate any type
