What he fears is one grand explosion
Of the Disarmament Conference We
have been nursing that incurable all
ment along for years. Inner plans
are complete to postpone its death
quietly while longer.
Our policy there is the same as at
the London Conference-death by de-
grees, but not by explosions.
Now Hitler raises an issue which
the powers may not be able to slide
out of so easily. The Geneva tricks
may be exposed.
That would be too bad
Cuban Regime Solid.
Our august diplomats have been peer
ing more kindly at the Grau regime
in Cuba lately They are making no
promises. but the word has been passed
down the line that they might
recognize the presidential dictator If
he does certain things.
That is because Grau chased the
army officers out of the National Hotel
and stamped out the last vestige of
revolt. He is undisputed master.
The certain things" they want Of
him should not be hard to fulfill. The
only important one is a demand for
reorganization of his cabinet to in
clude some of his former adversaries.

GERMANS CONCILIATORY
BY PAUL SCOTT MoWRER.

BY Gable to The Star.
GENEVA, Switzerland, October 10
The disarmament talks took a turn
for the better today. The Germans
continued their conciliatory activities.
They have been misunderstood. they
complain, and there is tendency IN
some foreign quarters to suggest tnat
certain German diplomats blundered
in putting the German case too bluntly.
However this may be, diplomatic
pressure of no ordinary weight which
was beginning to be exercised on Ger
many is now being slightly relaxed.
The firm disappearing tone Of the Brit
ish. together with the broadslde OF
newspaper dispatches from Washington,
seem to hava done their work in BRING
ing the Germans to extreme pruoence.
Bound by U. S. Treaty.
The American dispatches were pub
lished mainly in the London press and
only reached Geneva today. They are
being read in all the delegations WITH
the greatest interest. They imply that
the American State Department. with
the approval of President Roosevelt, has
recalicd that Germany is bound to the
Unite, States in the matter OF dis
arma ar,ent by our separate treaty no less
than TO the powers signatory to the
treaty of Versailles: that the Unlteo
States resolutely opposes any rearma-
ment by any great power; that, II the
tension persists. the United States may
be obliged to say as much to Germany
directly, and that if the worst comes
to the worst the United States would
not insist on its neutral rights in case
the Versailles powers felt obliged
finally to resort to economic or other
penalties.
Talks Resumed.
Such hints from Washington, while
perhaps exaggerated by the British cor
respondents, are making a profound
impression here.
The talks among the big powers were
resumed today cautiously. 1t is still
hoped that the basis of compromise
satisfactory both to France and to Ger
many may be reached before the General
Disarmament Commission meets Mon
day. AS the margin Of this agreement
narrows and hardenS. the negotiations
become increasingly delicate. The situ-
alton undoubtedly is serious, but as yet
by no means hopeless.

Conferees Say Little.

Conferees Say Little.
The British war debt conference is
| SO secret that the conferees rarely hold
meetings for fear they might say some
| thing to each other
During the last four days the British
| were here one meeting was held. 1t
lasted 80 minutes. At the end Of four
days no other meeting was in prospect.
The truth is the negotiations are
proceeding on the sly. Both sides want
to keep under cover as much as possible.
So they swap memos and get together
singly at the British embassy and other
places.
There is a good reason for that. If
reports on negotiations get out, the
pressure Of public opinion might be
erroneous reports usually do emerge
from such gatherings and they some
times are embarrassing.
The idea is to conclude the negotia-
tions before letting anything out. That
means 1t may be a long time before
you hear the result.
May Split N. r. A. Unit.
Mr.. Roosevelt may solve the trouble
about picking a successor for Gen.
Johnson by not picking any one.
Inner N. r. A. affairs are being
turned around and divided up now in
the regime will be split two ways.
Enforcement of the codes probably
will be turned over to the reorganized
Federal Trade Commission. That is
why one of Felix Frankfurter's boys.
James Lands, was named on the COM
mission Also why Mr.. Roosevelt was
determined to get Commissioner Hum
phrey out.
The commission has charge of trade
practices and is semi-judicial body.
1t is the ideal agency to police the
codes.
The commercial aspects of the N. r.
A. may remain in the Commerce De-
partment under Assistant Secretary
Dickinson. That will be largely a mat
ter of statistical routine centering
around prices.
Baruch Tip Not So Hot.
That means the hot tip Wall Street
has about Bernard Baruch becoming
Johnson's successor probably is not so
hot Also Donald Richberg seems out
of the running The N r. A. current
has turned around to the place where
it would be inadvisable to name such a
prominent labor leader.
The whole plan suggests an easing
down Of emphasis on the N. r. A. and
heavy routine work to make it more
effective.
Perhaps the skeleton of the organiza
ton may have to be retained as an ad
junct Of the Commerce Department and
Trade Commission. It will not require
any one of Johnson's stature.
Down deeper. the reorganization Of
the Federal Trade Commission also
means more bad news for Wall Street.
Lands helped write the securities act
which the Wall Streeters now are howl
ing about. They want to get it amend
ed at the next session of Congress.
The appointment means that instead
Of being weakened 1t may be strength
ened, all howls to the contrary notwith-
standing.

OF foolishness was noted by department
commanders at State conventions this
year and also at the national conven-
tion. 1t will not be long before the
boys wear white boards and march
down the streets like the G. A. r. Per-
haps age explains also why so few
Legion officials have become prominent
in national politics, whereas the G. A.

In addition to these animals the
Canadians have more than 1000 in

These two projects are among the

Incidentally the herds are proving
