The New Entente Cordiale.

Out OF the battling vagueness of
ments one concrete thing emerges-
the establishment of the old Anglo
French entente cordiale. Announced
simultaneously yesterday in the House
Deputies the new accord provides for
that general cooperation in matters
affecting "the European regime" which
characterized the relations between
Great Britain and France preceding
the World War To what extent the
document-described by Premier Her
riot as being solely, as it is profoundly,
Of pacinst inspiration'-applies to i'm
mediate problems, like debts, in which
the United States Is interested, un-
fortunately remains shrouded in un-
certainty.
The freshly-baked entente flashes
into world notice amid something more
than uncertainty. 1t is born in well
ter Of amazing contradictions, with the
high contracting p-.rties Offering almost
defiantly divergent interpretations of
its true inwardness NJ. Herriot de-
clares that under the new accord Great
Britain has no right to negotiate a re-
vised war debt settlement with the
United States without first consulting
the French government. Sir John
Simon assures Parliament that the
agreement has no connection whatever
with relations between France and the
United States or between Britain and
the United States, especially with re-
spect to the debts owed to this country.
IF the French people are allowed to
believe that the agreement refers to the
war debts to America" asserts the
British foreign secretary, they will be
quickly disabused.'
Americans may leave it to the part
ners in the resuscitated entente cor
dale to baptize 1t by disagreeing over
its actual intent and purport. Under
no circumstances can it influence our
own handling of the debt problem. 1t
does not, in any of it's brief paragraphs,
appear to annul the now notorious
"gentlemen's agreement" whereby the
Lausanne reparations pact becomes a
scrap Of paper If America does not con-
sent to approximately corresponding
reductions in the $1,000, 100000 obli-
cations which the United States Treas
ury carries on its books against Ger
manys creditors. Until that specific
undertaking Is definitely disavowed no
explanations of the revived entente cor
diale's meaning will carry much i'm
pressiveness to the American people.
The Anglo French agreement does
lip service to the intention of both
countries ito work together at Geneva
to fnd a solution of the disarmament
question" They are TO cooperate, too,
and with other interested governments,
In preparing for the forthcoming world
economic conference. One does not
need to join the American isolationist
school of thought to view with becom-
ing skepticism the present hour ma
neuvers of European craftsmanship or to
doubt its complete sincerity Of purpose
70 far as the United States is concerned.

His speech was In answer to state
ment earlier in the day by Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening that Hitler gov
eminent could do no more than the
present government, for the ills of Ger
many are caused principally by the
Versailles treaty.
ITO Bruening's assertion that we
couldn't have done differently, the an
swer is his government is only slowly
beginning to do what we have been de-
manding for years" Herr Hitler said.
The Nazi chieftian declared the Ger
man revolution was the origin OF all
the nations ills and the parties now in
power must be brushed aside because
they aided and abetted that revolution
"Bruening expects the Lausanne con-
ference-if 1t happens at ALTO bring
alienation from reparations, Herr Hit
Ter continued. If that's the idea,
Lausanne never will happen"
His hearers cheered nightly when

BERLIN, January 20 (P-Partisan
politics caused Adolf Hitler to reject the
governments suggestion that the term
of President Paul Won Hindenburg be
extended a year by the Reichstag,
Chancellor Heinrich Breuning declared
today.
The declaration was included in the
chancellor's reply to the National
Socialist leader. who informed him re-
Gently that although a supporter OF
the President. he would not throw his
strength behind the Breunny govern
ment to keep Marshal Won Hindenburg
in office.
From patriotic standpoint, find
1t surprising that you make partisan
political conditions chiefly responsible
for Germanys Ills the chancellor said.
He added that even government to
Hitler's liking would have to continue
along the lines of the present admins
tration.
The chancellor received aid and COM
fort from DIR. Hugo Eckner, diriglole
designer who urged In a radio speech
tonight that the nation stand solidly
behind him in the difficult task OF
meeting his opponents in the coming
reparations negotiations.
Attacks on the chancellor at this time
injure his authority in the eyes OF the
world, DIR. Eckner said. He described
President Won Hindenburg as the
fatherland's strongest moral asset be-
cause he possesses the confidence of the
world.
