"They are learning their best oppor-

Wright "You will not find them walk

agriculture is now paying taxes 226 per

saying the traflc managers would &C.
cept an increase in freight rates with

they were opposed to any change in

The railroads proposal for an IN

GERMAN VOTE AIDS
FRENCH RELATIONS
Paris Berlin Understanding
Expected to Follow Failure
of PIebiScite.
DE- PAUL SCOTT MowRER

BY Cable to The star
PARIS, August l0.--The failure oil
the German extremists IN the Prussian
plebiscite yesterday has aroused great
hopes here of possibility Of . real
Franco German understanding.
As long rs this extremist plebiscite,
with its attendant uncertainties. hung
suspended over Europe, the multiple
diplomatic and financial activity start
ed by the Hoover proposal was crippled
and even suspended. Now, however. the
certainty that the Bruening government
will remain In power at least some
months more Is interpreted also IS q
guaranty that German tendencies to-
ward state capitalism and economic
isolation will be checked indefinitely.
France Ready TO Act.
France, therefore. is ready and eager to
go ahead with the talks initiated by
Premier Pierre Laval and Foreign Min
lister Artstide BRAND when German
Chancellor Heinrich Bruening and For
eign Minister Julius Curtius came to
Paris.
Andre Francois Poncet. French min
lister OF national economy, VINO has
been named French Ambassador 70
Germany for q period of six months
and who will seemingly have charge OF
the negotiations on the French siNe, Is
expected to proceed to Berlin soon.
A formal visE by M, Laval to Berlin
will doubtless follow at the end Of Au-
gust or the beginning of>September. M
BRAND is Ill and tired and will, per-
haps. be unable to accompany M. Laval
who may, therefore, take Finance Min
ister Pierre Etienne- Flandin with him.

The French seem disposed to give
fresh credits or q new loan to Germany
without any tco obvious acceptance by
Germany Of drastic political conditions
Provided the financial and economic
agreements which the French have in
wind can be achieved, there Is every
iSason to- believe France will be salts

Germans regarding the recent political
agitation and demands for treaty re-
