In water rents, as the bill pro-
poses, to carry out the water con-
struction program.
Representative Simmons spoke
at great length and took up all
important items in the big budget.
Although the item for increased
pay Of policemen and firemen is
not in the bill because the authori-
cation legislation has not yet
passed. Representative Simmons
warned that this legislation would
add 100000 per year more to
cost Of government here.
Text Of Speech
In forecasting a tax rate boost,
and advising Washington citizens
to be prepared for it or cease
making so many requests Of Con-
gress, Representative Simmons
said in part:
'The people of Washington,
speaking through their various
organizations. have been demand
ing the best Of everything in city
government and, at the same
time, have insisted that they
should pay only an average, or
in many instances, a below-aver-
age tax rate. The two cannot
exist together: An increase of
taxes must inevitably follow in
creased appropriations for better
ments and running expenses.
: 'It would help greatly If,
when resolutions are submitted to
Congress for increased expendi-
lures, that there should accom-
pany the resolution a statement
expressing a willingness to pay
increased taxes to meet the de-
sird obligation. Increases of
salaries, buildings. improvements,
all cost money. For every $780,
900 added to the cost Of running
the District Government an in
crease of the tax rate Of 5
cents per hundred is necessary.
"The amount carried in this
bill and other charges arising
hereunder would, if paid out OF
current revenues, call for a tax
rate of $l.90. That increase will
not be necessary this year Que to
the use Of the available surplus.
With the enactment Of this bill
into law that surplus will be
gone"
At S1.9O Rate Now
The District of Columbia must
face the facts. If the standard
set in this bill is to be followed
next year it will be necessary for
the Commissioners to fix a tax
rate of $1.90. Actually the
District is at that rate now, but
the tax bill will not reflect that
rate until next year. Here again
the passage Of the police and
firemen salary bill will bring the
annual rate to about $500 if the
standards set in this bill are to
be followed.
Those in Washington who are
willing to pay rate OF $500 or
higher may ask for continued in
creases in expenditures. Those
who do not desire that increase
should cease to be a party to
demands for increased and often
unwarranted expenditures.

The governor also called an
immediate conference of the
prison board and instructed Adj.
Gen. A. V. Adams to attend.
The prison, which houses nearly
1000 conVicts is badly over

All prison guards have been

In the pants factory it was es-

were marched to their cells.
A short time later it was re-

ber of convicts had rebelled in the
broom factory and permitted
themselves to be returned to their
cells.
Warden Rudolph appealed to
the first group of strikers to con-
tinue their work until the prison
board could investigate their COM

warden made a similar appeal to
$50 convicts. who struck in the
dining hall and succeeded in in

France and Britain
Start Negotiations
For Security Treaty

NA ONNAA ACy CuIS
LONDON, March 81 1.N.SD-
Forelgn affairs experts of France.
Italy and Great Britain got down
to cases today to bargain over
Frances price" for reduction of
ner naval armament demands.
The conference took on a de-
cldedly European tinge as the
statesmen, in private session, at.
tempted to work out a pact of
mutual guarantee in the Med
lterranean, framed in such
manner as to satisfy Frances
demands for security and at the
same time not commit England
TO too great an extent.
Sir Robert Vansittart. perma.
nent under-secretary at the
foreign office. attended the ses-
sion on behalf of Britain. primed
with definite instructions from
Prime Minister j. Ramsay Mac.
donald to remain adamant in the
insistence that the pact must not
include a promise of actual mil.
ltary or naval assistance TO
France or Italy other than that
which Britain already is obligated
to furnish in accordance with
the League of Nations covenant.
Foreign Secretary Arthur Hend-
erson and Foreign Minister Aris-
tide BRAND held a long confer
ence at the British foreign office
as to what form the pact might
take, but the actual details are
being left to the experts. No
decision as to whether such a
treaty is possible is expected be.
fore Tuesday. In the meanwhile,
the conference as a whole is still
marking time.
If the pact negotiations fail,
the question of adjourning the
conference for six months
period as suggested by Foreign
Minister Dino Grandi of Italy
will again be considered.

regard to London" he announced.
Puzzled inquiries made at the
White House only resulted in
reiteration that Administration
policy was still strongly opposed
to any political agreements at
London. Thele was, however, no
explanation of the Stimson state
ment, and as result, Senate
circles have been set a-buzzing
with speculation and rumor as
to just what is going on in Lon.
don. Cabled inquiries have been
sent to Senators Robinson and
Reed, members Of the delegation.
While it is true that the Senate
ratified q four-power Pacific
treaty growing out of the Wash.
ington Conference, whereby the
Pacific powers agree to consult
with each other" in the event of
war threatening in the Pacific, it
is held that similarly framed
Atlantic treaty cannot be meas
ured by the same yardstick.
In the present instance, the
consultative pact would be ex-
tended to France as a definite
price for her scaling down her
tonnage demands below the point
she considers necessary for her
own coastal and colonial security.
Pact Seen as Dangerous
Therefore, to many senatorial
minds. such treaty, irrespective
OF the language employed, would
inherently contain a moral obi.
CATION on the part of the other
signerS to protect French security.
inaSmuch as France was per-
Suaded to abandon her tonnage
claims in return for the pact.
And the veterans of the pro-
tracted struggle over the League
of Nations have never forgotten
that Woodrow Wilson, appearing
once before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, declared he
considered a moral obligation
more binding" than an obligation
OF any other character.
The Senate, in consequence, is
going to be very meticulous about
committing the United States to
any international agreement which
by the widest stretch of imagina.
tion or Interpretation could be
construed as conferring the
slightest responsibility for any
other nations safety on the
theory that MISUNDERSTANDING
sometimes lead to serious conse-
quenceS.
For the first time since the
opening of the London Confer
ence, the Senate is following de-
velopments closely. Senator Nc
Kellar CD of Tennessee already
has publicly demanded that the
American delegation be recalled
and an attempt made to limit
navies when conditions are more
propitious. A good many Of his
colleagues are agreeing with him.
