Modern Paul Revere
 To Race Picked Steed

Boston, April IT (UP)-Whe- ther a modern Paul Revere, us- ing the conventional automobile, could travel faster than the famous horseman of history and poetry, will be determined Satur- day, Patriots Day.
 Each year, on this holiday, an impersonator of Revere covers on horseback the historic route over which the Revolutionary hero sped to warn the Concord and Lexington farmers that the Brit ish were coming.
 Saturday, an automobile will leave North Square 10 minutes in advance of the 1880 Paul Re- were. The motorist will be obliged to obey stop-light signals and speed regulations, and will have to weave his way through traffic without receiving special consideration.
 Stop-watches at the end of the route will determine the speed ratio of the spark-plug and the stirrup.

Robinson Issues Statement

London, April r R'-senator Joseph T. Robinson, member of the American delegation to the naval conference, this afternoon issued a statement outlining the terms of the safeguarding clause in the naval treaty. His statement read:
 "The so-called safeguarding clause in the naval treaty will provide in general that if during the term of the treaty the requirements of na tional security of any of the three powers whose auxiliary vessels are limited are, in the opinion of that power, materially affected by the new construction by any nation whose auxiliary program is not linn tied by the treaty. that power vii notify the other two of the amount and kind of building it requires

 After the council had adjourned, citing Mayor Nair said he had ex- pected the courtesy of the position of presiding officer, but that he did not consider the incident of suf- ficient importance to cause con- troversy. Today he repeated this statement. and added that no one had asked him if the arrangement reported by Falll was satisfactory to him. %

iThereupon those other powers shall be entitled to make a proportionate 1 increase in the same category or categories."
 ] Since the limitation of armament is voluntary process which ID soverign power has the right to en- fierce on another, it is wise in prin- ciple to enter into this arrange ment for by so doing we avoid re- sponsibility for insisting that any other nation must have its hands tied in possible emergency. Clause Docs Not Comply
 This clause does not follow ar | ticle o1 of the Washington treaty, which I objected o,when it was en- tered into. on the ground that It might entangle us in European problems and policies. While it is to be hoped that no situation will arise under which any of the three powers may find it necessary to in- crease their tonnage of auxiliary vessels, prudence calls for provi: sion for such continuency. If q real emergency should arise I should want the United States to | be free to act without the consent of the others and of course we must | concede the same right to them. It is desirable that those who limit their means of defense should feel safe in that limitation. Otherwise they would not continue the process of limitation
 Information at American head quarters today was to the effect that all the members Of the American delegation are in agreement on the | specifications of the safeguarding clause as outlined by Senator Rob- inson.
 Hope to Close Affairs London, April IT P-There was a great deal of hope, but little pros pect today that the five power naval conference would be concluded at a plenary session next Tuesday and that the treaty draft could be com- pleted and made ready for signature by that time.
 Unless the work is finished the American delegation, except about 25 members of the entourage who need not stay, will not be able to sail on the Leviathan Wednesday morning for New York. .4i
 British spokesmen arc particular ly doubtful that the plenary session can be held Tuesday. Ramsay ac- Donald. arriving by airplane yes- terday at Lossiemouth, Scotland, for his Easter vacation, said to report CTS.
 To Stay For 10 Days
 T may go back to London tomor- TOW or the day after-it all depends but at the moment l expect to be l here ten days" Ten days from We'd nesday would be April 26, Saturday of next week; from the remark some deduced that the signing of the treaty might be delayed even an- other week. .s Considerable attention here is be- ing centered on the preamble to the treaty and the safeguarding or "escalator" clause to be included in the treaty, by which Great Britain will protect herself against con- tinental naval building programs. | The Japanese in meeting with Secretary Stmson and Senator Reed yesterday agreed to the clause in principle. but reworded the text, the revised form being sent to Mir. Mac l Donald in Scotland for his approval
 The importance which the British attach to this safeguarding clause was regarded by some as indicated with the stress laid upon it in a white paper given the house of com mons by Foreign Minister Arthur Henderson. The white paper, which

PROPERTY owners
IN PAR|S COMPLAIN
State Department Investi-
gates Charge Americans
Are Treated Unfairly. {
a. the Associatad Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Charges Of discrimination against
American property owners in France,
which may involve the entire question
of reciprocal Franco American treaty
rights, are being investigated by the
State Department.
The attention of the department has
been called to the case Of Capt. Paul
Rockwell, an American citizen, who
purchased home in Paris In 1925 and
has been defeated in every effort since
that time to secure possession OF his
home from a Frenchman who was q
tenant when the purchase was made.
The tenant, 1t was alleged, upon learn
ing the new owner was an American,
declined to move from the premises
under the terms Of the so-called French
rent laws.
Treaty Provides for Equality.
Under the Franco American treaty Of
1853 French citizens in the United
States and American citizens in France
were accorded equal rights with the
citizens of the country in which they
resided so far as property ownership
was concerned. This treaty now would
accord these rights to some $4,000
Frenchmen IN the United States as
compared with only about IL, 900 Amer
leans residing in France.
Capt. Rockwell, who fought in the
French army in the World War and was
decorated for bravery with several Of
the highest honors which can be given
In France, has met with no success,
however, In pressing his case as o test
case before the French courts on five
different occasions.
In one instance, 1t was charged, the
Judge, as the case opsned before him,
asked Rockwell's attorney II his client
was an American citizen. Receiving an
affirmative reply, it was said, the judge
replied:
Ordered to Leave Court.
ssThen leave the court. An American
citizen has no rights here. II he wishes
to enjoy the rights of the French laws
he must become naturalized."
The judge, according to information
before the State Department by inter-
ested Americans, refused to allow the
case to proceed and delivered from the
bench remarks mplimentary to the
United States.
Aside from watching the situation
which has deprived considerable num-
Der Of Americans in Paris of possession
Of property they have purchased, the
State Department has done little. The
matter was brought recently to the
attention Of Undersecretary Of State
Cotton, but there was no action until
Capt Rockwell returned from France
20 appeal personally for assistance.
