PRESENT POLITICAL
 EQUILIBRIUM UPSET
Economic Rapproachements May
 Disturb Balance Of Power

Paris, Dec. 3 (UP)-A series of political and economic rapproche- ments which have commenced with in the last few days eventually may vitally effect the present political equilibrium of Europe. disturb the balances of power established by the treaty of Versailles, and result in new alignments of powers on the continent,
 Diplomats with whom inc new movement has been discussed are convinced that it is aimed primarily to counter balance Frances pre- dominance on the continent and to enable dissatisfied nations 10 exert pressure more effectively upon the powers which maintain that the Versailles treaty constitutes an in violable statute.
 Diplomats discern that the recent series of rapprochements constitute the beginning of concerted move ment of dissa tisfied powers against the Versailles provisions. The move-
 
 definite current has started and it is likely to continue unless it is dc fected by Franco Italian naval agreement. world disarmament conference, or diplomatic action among the powers concerned. Rivals Little Entente
 The present movement is poten- tially the most important interna- tional political factor since the formation Of in. little entente by which France extended her chain of alliances across Europe, behind Ger many and in front Of Russia, and established her hegemony on the continent Current intense diplo- matic activity between Italy, Russia, Germany. Hungary and Turkey, some diplomats believe. seems dcs- tined 10 form a network of political and economic friendships across Europe. behind Frances little en- telIte chain.
 Recent weeks have seen the fol- lowing unusually significant events:
 Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinoff's secret conference with Italian Foreign Minister Dino Gran di in Milan the visiting of Hungar- ian Premier Count stephen Bethlen to Rome and thence to Berlin;
New Britain herald., 1930-12-03

Turkish Foreign Minister Rushdi Bey's visit to Rome; Italian Premier Benito Mussolinis last speech ln which he made a pathetic ges- turc towards Germany regarding the revision of the Versailles treaties, anC stressed the necessity of Italy 10 expand to the east.
 Resent Disarmament
 German Foreign Minister pr. Julius Curtius' references 10 neces- sity for revising tho Versailles treaties, emphasizing Germany's re- volt against continued disarmament while othel nations are arming; Count Bethlens public references in Berlin to necessity for revision of tho peace treaties, and 10 closer CO., operation between Grmany and Hungary.
 Some quarters attach political significance to the marriage of King Boris of Bulgaria 10 Princess Gio- wanna of Italy. Several diplomats hold the belief that q coalition Of powers opposed 10 French and little entente predonnancc and in favor of revision Of th peace treaties is in the process of formation, includ- ing Russia. Italy, Hungary and Tur- key. with Germany mpathetically inclined. They believe that the move ment is now taking the form Of economic rapprochements. with po- litical friendships to follow.
 To Aid soviet
 The Iityinoff- -Grandi conversations are said 10 be aimed primarily at more active commercial and cco- homie cooperation and the extension of the Ttalo-Sovict treaty of 1924. Ironically T'ascisms, which was ere ated to fight communism. is nos on closer terms with the Soviets than ar other European country. and Italy plans 10 intensity the CO operation.
 Newspapers in Rome displayed the headline, "Italo-Russian Friend ship" very often during recent week. Mussolini is also beginning more c-tlNc commercial relauonS with Turkey and Hungary.
 In a conversation recently Mus- solini decli ed 10 go into the details of the new Italian eastern policy, except to ssy. Yes. Italy must ex- pand and find friends 10 the east, but only peacefully"
 France intends to begin d naval construction program in January, unless a Franco-Italian naval agree ment is reached before that time. If the naval agreement fails. the present movement Of anti-French rapprochements unLHr the aegis of Italy will certainly be accentuated.
 Meanwhile, Mussolini is miIitariz- ing Italy 10 an extent unknown since the days Of the Roman empire. He promises within two years the great

 They carried red flags and nu- mcrous banners on which were painted th:ir slogans. Bands of boys and girls filled the air with music. They sang the Jnternation- ale and ether patriotic songs.
 "Wkat is it?' I inquired. Have all the schools burned down."
 "No.hing Of the sort" replied q Eatum booster. These children are all young communists who are celebrating the opening of the win ter school term"
 Later two oe these youths volun- tcered to show the foreigners the local sights. They were Young Pio- neers. not yet old enough 10 join the Young Communists organization.

 Mexican "JustiCc'
 Judge Jennings then told a story of an American in Mexico City who asked 2 store keeper the price of three beautiful crosses and was told S60O0. shortly after he had left, deciding not to buy, he was served with papers to appear in court to pay for the crosses he had ordered. He hired a Mexican attorney. and curing the trial heard six witnesses swear that they had been in the store and saw the American order inc crosses and not pay for them. The defendants attorney swOre ln seven witnesses who said they saw the American pay for the crosses, and the judge decided for the Amer jean. The store keeper started to take the crosses, which had been exhibits in the case, but the Ameri- cans attorney took them as his fee.
 With this story as the basis of his talk on "The Spirit of the Law, as l Understand It." Judge Jennings proceeded to let several legal and judicial "cats out of the bag" for the benefit of the younger attorneys.

 FORMULATE RULES
Candidates to Be Invisible to
 Jury Passing On Merits

Judges in the public radio audi tion, to be held in the chapel of the South Congregational church Monday evening, met yesterday afternoon to formulate a set of rules to guide their deliberations.
 The radio addition being one to locate, encourage and develop am- ateur singers of talent. it was de- cided that evidences of native tal- ent would count most in judging vocal values.
 Furthermore, the judges decided to have the candidates known to them only by numbers and if pos sible. it will be arranged that the singers will not be seen by the judges during the addition.
 The judges meeting took place under the chairmanship of Theron W. Hart and was held in the Hart studio. Those present were John J. Crean, John A. Lindsay and George Hahn. Joseph C. Beebe, another judge. was out of town.
 Mrs. Ruth Schade Smedley, chairman of the survey committee. reported by telephone that there was a certainty of seven candidates for the addition and that more were in prospect. Mrs. Ruth Bennett Lindsay will officiate at the piano for the singers at Mondays public addition.

Members Decide to Make No Recommendation, Be- lieving Expression of Stand Would Be Inter- preted as Coercion - New Instructors Assign ed to Duty.

Despite the vigorous opposition of Judge Morris D. Sake, a member of the school committee, the board yes- Christmas fund proposal of Mayor George A. Quigley to the teachers council without recommendation or indication of it's sentiment on the subject.
 After Committeeman Joseph M. Ward moved that the matter be left to the Teachers council, the repre- sentative organization of the teach CTS, Judge Saxe said
 There should be a recommenda- tion. What they will do will de- pend on what we do They should not be left to do as they please. Show them we favor it. Many of them will ignore it because they felt the school board did not take stand on it."
 Chairman P. F. King expressed himself against legislating the meas ure, but Judge Saxe was of the opinion the board should show it was in sympathy with Mayor Quig- ley's plan. He wanted the com nlittee to go as far as it could without a mandate.
 Committeeman George Levitt said he would regard recom- mendation as having club at- tached if he were on the Teachers council when the recommendation was presented. He predicted the plan without the board making it necessary for them to do so.'
 Halloran Favors Tax Levy
 Committeeman Joseph M. Hal loran said he agreed with the chair man of the board of public works, who favored having special tax levy for relief with the result that everyone would share in the fund.
 Judge Saxe offered an amendment to the motion which provided that the board ask the Teachers council to cooperate with the mayor, but Secretary Henry T. Burr said he would vote against the measure be- NdosC IL Ndo bi HlSiIl Pi tc bear on the teachers. MT. Ward said the fact that they were re- ferring the recommendation to the council proved enough sympathy. If we were not in sympathy we could kill the plan here" MT. Ward said
 Supt. Holmes said the mayor could be invited to attend the Teachers council meeting and dis cuss the situation with the mem bers. It was the superintendent's contention that placing the plan be- for the counci land asking for fav- orable action would be tying the teachers hands and if unfavorable action were taken there would be strained relations between the coun- cil and the school board.
 Chairman King predicted that the members of the council would be likely to cooperate after they had heard Mayor Quigley's statement concerning conditions. He felt the joy of giving would be absent if the teachers were forced to contribute.
 The matter of referring the plan to the Teachers council for consid- eration was brought to the attention of the board by Chairman King when txe members asked if the teachers committee had any plan
