All Problems to End

By United Press
PARIS, March 3.-The naval ac-
cord reached last week at Paris and
Rome merely" was the prelude to
the rapid ending of all Franco-Ital-
ian problems, Aristide BRAND, for
eign minister, said today, in debat-
Ing the foreign affairs budget in the
Chamber of Commerce.
BRAND described the accord as
another move toward world disar-
msmenr.
Publication of the terms of the
naval accord reached between
France, Italy and Great Britain will
be DELAYED until Thursday or Fri
day, it was stated unofficially, be-
cause of the time necessary for the
consideration of the agreement by
the governments Of United States
and Japan.
Changes in the terms of the
washington and London naval
treaties will be necessitated by the
new tri-power agreement, 1t is be-
lieved generally.

maximum of $4,000 tons, understood
to be one of the stipulations of the
agreement, may offer some difficult
ty in obtaining the approval Of the
United States and Japan.
While some quarters saw this as
possible delay to an agreement
bringing France and Italy within
the program of naval limitation to
which they declined to commit
themselves at the London confer
ence, the French press suggested
that the limitation Of battleships is
the most interesting and important
part of the Anglo French italian
negotiations.
It was pointed out that French
and Italian sacrifices in their pro-
posed building programs mostly are
technical, as far as could be deter
mined until the text of the agree
ment is published. Their. former
positions were relatively unchanged.

man for naval parity until 1886.

BETTER TIMES
Franco.I Italian Pact Likely
to Mark Tides Turn
in Europe.
WAR PERIL IS FADING
United States and Japan
Yet to Approve of
New Treaty.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SLMMS
soripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, March with
he Italian naval truce the
new, man to-man diplomacy c1alks
Up another victory for itself which
may have important consequences
throughout the globe.
Twenty years ago the naval race
between Italy and France would al
most certainly have gone on until,
eventually, it ended in barrage OF
splintering steel and torrents OF
blood.
Today, thanks to the new diplo-
macy, the nations involved are
shaking hands and exchanging mu-
tual congratulations in the belief
that one of the major perils to Eu-
ropean peace has been removed.
Tide May Be Turned
Engineered by Great Britain, the
agreement has yet to receive the
o. K. of the United States and
Japan, the other two parties to the
London naval pact. But If all goes
well with it here and in Toxic, the
accord may prove the beginning OF
the turn of the tide away from
war talk and the commencement
of greater world confidence and
better times.
Cooperation of France and Italy
is indispensable If the vital world
arms conference, scheduled 10 De-
gin next February, Is to succeed.
Union that conference, European
statesmen frankly admit, the whole
future trend of Europe depends.
Peace or war will be the stake,
and, for that reason, the Importance
of the reported agreement would
be difficult to exaggerate.
Americas Stake Economic
Americas stake in next years
conference largely is economic.
EUROPE can not get back on her
feet again until she quits talking
and arrning for "the next war" and
everybody from President Hoover
and Secretary Mellon down agrees
that Americas prosperity is linked
irrevocably with the prosperity OF
Europe and the rest Of the world.
settlement of the dangerous inter
national quarrels now ham-string-
ing prosperity, therefore, increasing
" is becoming imperative. Recovery
from hard times and unemploy-
mont is dependent upon it.
Europe needs gold of which there
hardly is enough to go around. But
the precious stuff is not forth
coming, and will not be, as long as
the war clouds continue to roll
darkly across the old world sky.
Significant of Change
The United States and France
together, hold approximately so per
cent of all the gold there is in the
world, and they seem disposed to
hold on to it.
France hesitates TO scatter hers as
long as she fears attack, and
Americans will make few important
long term loans with possible war
lust around the corner.
The Franco Italian pact is signif1-
cant of possible change in Europe.
The two neighbors have quarreled
bitterly for dozen years over
Italy's demand for naval parity

RULE FAILURE
Hoover Administration Hit
for Declining to Meet
Emergencies.
BY Scrtpps-Ho,Odrd Newspaper Alliance

By Scrtpps-HoDdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, March a. The
Seventy-flrst congress, which ad-
journs Wednesday, has been
failure and a disappointment in
the opinion of Senator George w.
Norris, veteran progressive, of Ne
braska.
ION the whole" he said, cit has
been a cowardly congress, which has
lodged its responsibilities and has
submerged the interests of the many
to the welfare of the few.
cit. has turned its back on the
legitimate expectations of the people
to satisfy the dictates Of politics.
cit is going home with its calen-
dars and commit : dockets crowded
with essential social and economic
legislation, all for the good of the
people, and much Of it calculated to
speed up the business recovery of
the nation. Excuse after excuse
was found to prevent the enactment
Of these laws.
No Pledges Redeemed
''This congress started out with
the idea of redeeming the promises
made in the Republican party plat
form and by President Hoover in
his speeches in the campaign.
think it is fair to say that not one
Of these pledges has been redeemed.
First, the platform promised to
put the farmer on an equality with
the manufacturer. Through the in
f1uence Of President Hoover, every
practical plan for farm relief was
defeated.
President Hoover had his own
way in the enactment Of the farm
relief bill, of which the farm board
is a part. This has been a failure
and I don't blame the farm board.
Under Hoover's law, it was unable
to meet the farmers problem, al
though it spent $500,000O00 in the
attempt.
Second, the platform promised to
pass a tariff law that would place
the farmer on an equality with the
protected industrial interests. The
law as it was passed and signed by
Mr.. Hoover only has not failed to
do this, but it has placed the farmer
IN worse dilemma than he was
before.
Defeat Injunction Curb \
Third, the platform promised an
anti-injunction bill. Through the
influence of President Hoover, him
self, the progressives of the senate
who have tried to redeem this prom
Use have been defeated. Mr.. Hoover,
and his supporters, have not up to
this hour offered substitute for
the bill which we tried to pass.

lame back after. sleepless night.
Then Pullman had his big idea,
namely, that there was really no
reason why night train riding
should not be comfortable.
In 1858 he went to Bloomington,
H., an dgot the cooperation Of
the Chicago & Alton.
The railroad furnished two old
coaches, and at a cost of about
$1,000 each, Pullman converted
them into the grand-daddy Of the
modern sleeping cars.
He built into them ten sections
on each side, a linen closet, and
two Mushrooms. The cars we're
upholstered in plush, lighted with
oil lamps, heated with box stoves,
and the brakeman made up the
beds.
TINE backs of the seats were
L hinged and fell downward to
the level of the seat to form the
"lower berth" The "uppers" sim
ply were suspended from the cell
ing by four ropes at the corners
and hauled up at night to the CELL
ing, which was only little more
than six feet high.
Soon, however. Pullman sur
passed all previous dreams of lux
ury by building 1.-THE Pioneer"
which cost $4,000.
This was the first car with the
hinged upper berth, which was to
become the distinguishing feature
OF American Sleeping cars.
1.-THE Pioneer" was larger and
heavier than any previous car,
and actually had springs, hitherto
unheard of, and solid rubber
shock-absorbers, which was almost
sinful luxury.
DUBLIC support followed, the
l. business grew, and extended.
Plants were established in De-
troit, Elmira, N. Y, and Whining
ton, Del.
AT flrSt railroads built and
operated their own sleepers, and
other competition was fierce. But
Pullman gradually absorbed them
all.
Further consultations took
place, and Pullnan's idea became
the means of furnishing work to
some 10000 men engaged in
creating and maintaining some
thing which had not existed be-
fore.
Nearly 10000 of these operate,
maintain and repair cars in use,
and anywhere up to 10000 build
the cars, depending on current
demand.
