France Takes Steps
To Enforce Treaties

PARIS, March % G.N.SO The
first concrete step by an Euro
pean power concerning the GUS
toms agreement reached between
Germany and Austria was taken
by France today when the cabinet
of Premiere Pierre Laval ap-
proved the taking of measures
to assure that all treaties and
conventions are respected"
Charges have been made that
the agreement is in violation of
the Geneva protocols Of 1922,
in which Austria undertook not
to weaken her independence by
trade agreements with individual
countries.
The cabinets action was taken
following an exposition of the
projected agreement by Foreign
Minister Aristide BRAND.
Regarding it as the most pre-
cipitous step taken by Germany
since the war, political leaders
and the press here showed a de
clded tendency to accept the
agreement as the worst blow as
vet suffered by the Pan-Europe
plan promoted by Aristide BRAND
The more alarming views wer,
that under the c,'ise Of an eco
nomic treaty, - ria and Ger
many were seek q to form ar
"snschluss" of the pre-War type.

To TESTIFY IN
JOLIET QUIZ
Thrill SIayers Among Con-
victs Scheduled to Go Before
Board Probing Prison Riots

JOLIET, ILL.,. March 23 G.N.SD
The legislative investigation of
conditions in the State penitenti-
aries here went forward today
with several veteran inmates
scheduled to add their testimony
to sensational charges that the
shooting of three escaping con-
victs was murder"
Richard Loeb and Nathan Leo
pOId, serving life terms for the
thrill murder" Of young BObbS
Franks, were among those sched-
uled to he heard by the board.
Heavily armed national guard
troops and State police who re-
stored order after Wednesdays
rioting still patrolled the prison
grounds.
Prisoners who have testified,
charged that penitentiary au-
thorities allowed the Washing
tons Birthday escape pilot to pro-
ceed only to shoot down the th1c E
convict fugitives. Although it
was the parole system and the
policies of the pardon and parole
board that the prisoners blamed
for the prison unrest, it was the
triple killing that brought open
revolt, the witnesses said.
One convict, Harvey Rogers, of
Chicago, created a sensation when
he told the legislators that Guard
Captain b. A. Davenport is a
marked man because the inmates
believe he had much to do with
the shooting of the trio Of con-
victS.

All of these plants fall outside

Federal Farm Board
Retires as Purchaser
Of Skidding Grains

The major policies of the Fed
eral Farm Board have been forced
into retreat and into retirement,
according to an official announce,
ment today.
There will be no further gov
ernmental "pegging" of wheat
prices this year, no heavy pur-
chases of wheat to be stored for
later sale. All that remains now
of the Administrations policy is
renewed emphasis upon curtail-
ment Of farm acreage, as means
of cutting down production.
The stage is set for a renewal
of the demand for more effective
farm relief in the next Congress
If this demand is not met in
some form, the flame of revolt
in the Mississippi Valley States
will bring a political revolution
in it's wake, with progressives
and insurgents in the saddle.
Overtures are to be made ny
progressives to win President
Hoovers support for more liberal
farm relief, it was learned 'oday.
Senate BOrah (R.) of Idaho, is
chairman of the subcommittee on
agriculture, appointed at the re-
cent national conference of pro-
greSsives, which will draft new
program of farm legislation in
the near future.
Disaster Seen Ahead
The Idahoan believes if the
Federal Farm Board fails to con-
tinue its support of wheat prices
at this time it will lead to wide
spread DISASTER
If this withdrawal is put into
effect, however, Senator Borah is
of the opinion that it simply
makes certain the fact that the
new Congress will have to deal
with farm relief in a drastic way,
with or without the support OF
President Hoover.
There will be no revival of the
original McNary-Haugen leglsla-
ton, or of the equalization fee,
so far as the Progressives are
concerned.
Debenture Plan Favored
What appears to be likely
now, according to observers, is a
concentration upon the export
debenture form of farm relief
or some modification thereof.
A new campaign for public and
political support for the deben-
ture will be started by progres-
sives in the near future, it IS
said.
President Hoover has always
been opposed to the debenture
plan, which has a strong Sena'
torial following. It's proponents
say that it at least should be
given a trial following the col
lapse Of the Administrators co
operative marketing plan, under
the aegis of the Federal Farm
Board, to make any improvement
in conditions.

dress to the Porto Rican Iegis-
1ature. In the evening he will be
hOnOred by a formal dinner and
reception.
The President has been non
committal as to what approach he
intends to use in surveying the
island situation, but it has been
fairly definitely established that
he is against any proposals point
ing to Statehood, independence,
or even election of governors. In
view Of the present economic con-
ditions of Porto Rico and demands
for increased public funds, it be-
comes more apparent daily that
the Presidents primary aim is to
assist the island in working out
its own destiny by squirting trade
and industry.
President Hoover doubtlessly
will focus much attention on
Porto Rico's plight, found largely
in spreading unemployment, agri-
cultural depression, disease and
the undernourishment of the
island children.
It was learned that the Ameri-
can Child Health Association has
received an allotment of $500, ,O8O
for Porto Rican children from an
unexpended fund of $4,000, 900,
while another $250,000 is being
raised under the Presidents direc-
ton.
Attends Religious Service
Since leaving Old Point Com
fort for the balmy southern wa
ters, President Hoover has made
full use of the opportunity for
mental and physical relaxation.
Yesterday he attended an open
air religious service at which
Chaplain c. A. Neyman offici-
>ated.
The drive from Ponce to San
Juan Is described by those &C
quainted with the vicinity as one
Of the most beautiful in the West
Indies. The President will re-
main at San Juan until tomOr-
row, leaving the capital in time
to board the Arizona at sunset.
The battleship will then proceed
to the Virgin Islands before
turning back into the hOmeward
stretch of her 12-day trip.
According to messages from
San Juan, the capital has de
clared a holiday and is gaily
decorated and beflagged. It will
be the first visit by an Ameri-
can President since President
Roosevelt called there in 1906.

week to receive ten lashes at the
whipping post and to serve 80
days for wife-beating, may be re-
leased from Jail at sundown to-
Gay, his sentence, with the excep-
ton of the lashes, remitted.
Irritated by discussion of the
case in the newspapers, Judge
O'Dunne who imposed the SEN
tence issued a statement in which
he denied that the Jail sentence
had been lifted on the plea of
Kawalski's neighbors.
The judge indicated he was
moved by a desire to let HAWAI-
ski keep his job and to bring
about a reconciliation in the

the prosecution as to how the st.

the killing.
At the opening of the trial last

made the charge that "the case
against Brothers is a frameup."
Judge Joseph B. SABBATH is
expected to rule on the defense
petition for q subpoena for rec

his nation was extended a loan
Of S3O,OOO,OOO
Not q "ZoIIverein"
Herr Schober's answer to the
delegation was that the under
standing reached with Germany
was not dreaded "zollverein," or
customs union in the strict sense
of the word, but regional trade
treaty laying the foundation for
a United States of Europe ,as
projected by Foreign Minister
Aristride BRAND Of France.
From semi-official indications
here, it was indicated that the
controversy might embroil the
various governments in critical
diplomatic disputes, probably cul-
1ninating in an Austrian appeal
to the permanent court for inter
national justice.
Official protests were not COM
municated to Germany because
that nation did not sign the
specific agreement against such
o union.
The ambassadors of the three
nations unanimously requested
complete details on the proposed
agreement, indicating that if un-
satisfactory their governments
might deliver written representa-
tionS to Austria. DR.. Schober
said the cabinet would meet to
formulate it's answer during the
day.
Details of the trade accord,
which completely levels the exist
ing tariff walls between the
neighborhood nations, have not
been worked out and probably
will not be completed for three
months. At the end of that time
the pact will be submitted to the
Austrian and German parlia-
ments for approval.
HighIights of Treaty
The salient points of the treaty,
as far as disclosed, included the
following:
1. Abolition of duties on goods
travelling across the AuStrO-
German border.
2. The SynchrOpizatiOn of
Austrian and German duties on
imports from States outside the
pact.
8. The establishment Of an
arbitration board on which both
countries are to have equal
representation.
4. The recognition Of each
country's independence to pro-
ceed with trade agreements with
other States, provided such
agreements do not infringe on
the StipulatiOns of the Austr0-
German pact.
Continent Is Surprised
Announcement of the trade
agreement caught the continent
by surprise. Negotiations seek
ing such an accord have pro-
ceeded in desultory fashions for
several years, exclaimed recently
by visit here of DR.. Julius Cur
titus, German foreign minister.
While the Austrian press in
general commented but guardedly
on the possible outcrop of such
an agreement more extremist ele-
ments seized the opportunity to
hall the pact as the first step in a
rebirth of the prewar political
inter-relations of Austria and
Germany.
More conservative factions
pointed out that for the first
time since the war, the German
government had embarked on a
wholly independent foreign policy,
possibly with the active inten-
tion Of breaking down the So
called oppressive spirit of the
peace treaties as they affect GEL
many and Austria.
