controversy unless he knew he would
come out OH top, could have made a
statement which might be construed
by Senator Borah as an attack against
him
After all, the Senator had spoken
to the French press, at the special re-
quest of the French newspaper men.
y was matter between him and those
journalists, ard Premier Laval had no
co.. t. umpire.
This was the feeling in diplomatic
and newspaper circles.
Feared misunderstanding
Still at about 1890 it became Off
cially known that Premier Laval had
been approached by the chief OF the
leading French news agency; he was
informed about Mr. Borah's statement
and was asked whether he had any
thing to say.
Mr.. Laval apparently thought that
Senator Borah's declarations might be
interpreted in Paris that he, the French
premier, was on the verge OF yielding.
This thought was strong IN his mind,
because the night before he had had a
short conversation with the Senator
from Idaho and it had been arranged
that the two men should have quiet
talk at Secretary Stimson'S home to-
night. These facts had been duly re-
ported to France and were given great
prominence IN the French press.
Mr.. Laval was evidently afraid that
the French public might m1sconstrue
the whole thing, and imagine that Mr..
Borah made his statement after he had
gained the impression that the French
premier would be willing to talk re-
vision of treaties. In order to avoid
any misunderstanding in Paris, Mr..
Laval decided to tell the French peo-
pie they need not be disturbed by the
Senator's words because he, M. Laval,
was not here to discuss treaty revi-
sion.
Realize Faux Pas"
The French Nationalist press was
1ubilant. Not so the others. They
realized Immediately that M. Laval
had made faux pas" and that he
had unnecessarily sighted the most
powerful member of the Senate's For
eign Relations Committee.
Frantic efforts were made late in the
evening to reach the French premier at
the White House, where he was dis
cussing important matters with Presi-
dent Hoover, and urge him to with
draw his statement These were, how
ever, abandoned when the news came
that most of the New York morning
papers were already on the street carry
ing Mr.. Layals declaration on the front
page.
In many French quarters the
premierS Intervention in this matter
was considered as likely to seriously af-
feet the results of Mr.. Lavals visit to
the United States. Nobody expected
any positive results, but everybody hoped
that the visit would end as it started,
In an atmosphere of genuine cordially.
Fear was openly expressed in high quar-
tiers last night that Mr.. Lavals state
ment might seriously injure this atmos-
phere of friendship.

the premier sailed for the United States
to dissipate her melancholy. She re-
ceived daily radiograms from her hus-
band during the voyage, reporting on
his welfare and the behavior of their
daughter Josee.
Friends call her "a good French
housewife" because she Supervises
closely the Laval kitchen and provides
a bountiful table for her family. She
also spends much time with the needle
and watches out carefully for her
daughter She has a dark complexion
like her husband and is described as
plump.

Disarmament Factor Important.

Disarmament Factor Important.
Senator Borah was asked if he did
not think there was entirely too much
emphasis placed on disarmament to-
day
He replied he thought disarmament
very important factor and added: But
do think that disarmament is rather
a symptom Of the disease than the
disease itself"
Senator Borah said that plans for
budgetary reduction did not appeal to
him at all.
The Senator was asked If he did not
think that security was a necessary
condition of commercial and financial
confidence. His reply was:
1T do. But think the basic propo-
sition of security is a sense Of justice
among the people Of Europe as to the
boundary lines, and so long as a sense of
injustice prevails you will net have the
basic proposition upon which you build
security"
Senator Borah agreed that the inter-
governmental debts have great deal
to do with economic conditions through
out the world.
II think that If the peoples Of the
world should realize that tomorrow
morning reparations and international
debts were to be wiped out the psyche
logical effect would be tremendous"
would you advocate an absolute
cancellation of debts and reparations?
