There IS no cornlce, but the lack IS

Even the narrow lawn and the borders

the fact that a complete photostatic

The architects. Paul P. Cret and Al

was to create design sympathetic TO the

city and to the aesthetic traditions OF
Elizabethan England. They had TO
bridge the twentieth century with the
sixteenth. With admirable skill they
have avoided doing violence TO the
conditions Of their site, its relation TO
its environment. its advantages and us
limitations. they have served both the
spirit Of the Elizabethan era in when
Shakespeare moved and the intensely
practical needs and purposes Of the
modern student for whom their work
was done. They had recourse to de-

would strengthen the gold metallic

mands are being made that silver be
rehabiitated and accorded a monetary
status. Great Britain, which more
than any other country is responsible
for the demonstration of silver he de-
cIared Is now paying the penalty for
It's unWise and destructive policy.
Supply Is Inadequate.
In all the world, Senator King eX-
planned, there are less than $1,000
100000 of monetary gold 20 meet the
obligations of more than 400 billions of
dollars. That there is an inadequate
supply of gold in the world to sustain

to all" he said. The devastation and
ruin In our own country are IN part
due to policy which has deprived
the world of half of its metallic base.

By Cable to The star.
PARIS, October 10-Premier Pierre
Laval today termed pure IMAGINATION

today stating that he might propose, at
his coming conference with President
Hoover in Washington. that the powers
reduce their war budgets IS per cent II
America would agree to cut the war
debts due to 1t by so per cent.
A comunique from the ministry of
interior said:
This report Is pure imagination. The
French premier has made no statement
concerning the conversations he will
have with the President of the United
States"
Debt Position Unchanged.
1t is learned in authoritative circles
that the French position on debts and
disarmament is unchanged. AS the
French see 1t. the two subjects are in
no way connected. and Premier Laval
can be counted on to resist to the utter
most any attempt which might be made
to link them. Now, as always. the
French position is that there can be no
disarmament without security. 1t was
indicated. however. that this further
conclusion might be drawn: II disarma-
ment is based upon the assurance OF
security then the more security guaran-
teed the greater the disarmament DOS
Sible
1t is pointed out here that the KEEL
logg pact. while it outlaws war. does
not enviSage measures TO be taken in
the event of war. Two possibilities are
always present In French thought when
the problem of security is brought up.
First is that some sort of consultative
agreement might be drawn up whereby
| the powers could intervene to prevent
an outbreak of threatened confagra-
! ton: secondly, the powers might agree
to bring pressure in common against
an aggressor by refusing supplies of
food, munitions and money.
Must Have Security Guarantee.
1t is indicated that the second meas
ure might be accepted here as justih-
cation for a considerable slash in arma-
| ments Certainly Premier Laval has
no intention Of agreeing to a cut in
ornaments without some guarantee Of
security.
1t was made equally plain today unof-
flcially. but none the less authoritative
ly, that the premier has no intention OF
allowing any connection TO be estab-
liShed between disarmament and debts.
No one knows better than he the short
shift he would get wien he returned
from Washington If he did.
The French position in regard TO
debts. briefly, is this:
France is willing to renounce repa-
rationS from Germany to the extent
that she is relieved of payments to the
United States. She is not willing
however, TO give up the unconditional
payments from Germany which are
applied not to the American debt, but
to the rebuilding of the devastated ter
ritories.
