international compacts negotiated by
him are not valid.
This we have learned at last after
several sad experiences-but it has been
learned too late, and many of our
political men have not yet been per-
suaded that this is so.
In the last analysis, every treaty is
made by the Senate with the approval
Of American public opinion. But this
does not tell the whole story, for in
cluded in the Senate are, above all,
are controlled by the public opinion of
the Middle West and the West.
The second reason has played q de-
cisive role ever since the war. Popular
American opinion is hostile toward
any compromising with European poll
tics. We first became aware Of this
during the discussion of the question
of adherence to the League of Ma
tions, and the same reluctance was
shown over joining the Court of Inter-
national Justice. A certain elite few
hoped that America would promise to
remain neutral toward an aggressor
nation, especially after the signing of
the Kellogg pact. But we also see
Davis surrounds the aspirations of
these proposals.
Future Help Doubted.
Wisdom prompts us not to envisage
as at all probable any help from
America, even if the greatest right
was on our side. A century old ira
dition is at work. not against us, but
against any appeal that the old con-
tinent might make to the new-and a
veto from some obscure Senator, in
the event of an even division of the
members of the Senate, would suffice to
put stop to any such projects.
If this discussion is swept bare Of its
illusions, what remains-and upon this
fact I cannot insist too strongly-is
that since the war the question of the
debts and that question alone has
poisoned the Franco-American atmos-
phere.
If these debts should be liquidated-
either masterfully, capably or badly
the venom would be absorbed, and cur
relationships would again become
serene, friendly and expansive. For
outside Of this thorny quarrel nothing
should ever separate us. Thinking of
an ultimate denouement, I cannot
help recalling the pathetic appeal,
though an appeal full of political wis

being that the monks who compiled the

to interpolate the names OF later arr1-
walls who desired to associate themselves
with the aristocracy of the conquest.
1t was at the 900th anniversary cele-
bration Of Williams birth at Falaise, in
1927, that the decision was reached to
found a society. A committee Of dis
tinguished genealogists set about COM
piling a roster Of the Conqueror's S
knights, and succeeded in establishing
list Of 315, whose names are now on
bronze tablet in the Falaise chateau.
More names may be added If sufiiclent

be restricted to those who can prove

Planes in Hawaii Prove
Value of Frigate Shoals

HONOLULU, Hawaii-The perfect
record made by 80 naval airplanes and
seaplanes flown from Pearl Harbor
Oahu, to French Frigate Shoals, 500
miles away, and return is regarded as
an important event in the defense
structure Of the Hawaiian Islands. All
of the planes made the outward flight,
with landing. the mooring and the re-
turn flight in fast time and returned in
flrst-class condition.
Hawaii, which is regarded as the de
fense outpost Of the Pacific coast" now
has its own outpost for airplanes far
outside the immediate island waters
The northwest shoals, American terri

NHE recent election IN DanZ1g,
marked as it was by still
another "Nazi" triumph, calls
i attention forcibly to one detail
in the notorious Corridor set
tlement of the Paris Peace Conference
which clearly requires revision, once it
is possible to discuss the Polo-German
question realistically. At this point it
is plain that the basic conception Of the
treaty of Versailles has broken down
and as consequence a situation in
tolerable in itself and a permanent
menace to peace as we'll has resulted
When the treaty of Versailles was
made the Danzig decision was founded
upon the thirteenth of Wilson's IA
points-the one which assured Poland
access to the sea. At that moment
there was no other means for Poland
to communicate by water with the
outside world except through the port
OF Danzig, the historic seagate of the
whole Vistula region. For three cen
turies before the second partition of
Poland, too, Danzig, while purely
German town, had been included
within Polish frontiers and had been
contented and prosperous, possessing its
own municipal autonomy.
In fact. as late as 1915, when Poland
struction of the short-lived grand
duchy of Warsaw, the people of Danzig
protested against inclusion in Prussia
which cut it off from the bulk of Po-
land, then transferred to Russia as the
so-called Congress state. 1t was as
sumed in 1919, therefore. that Danzig
would once more reconcile itself easily
to Polish association, as it had in the
past
This assumption, however. totally ig-
nored the progress of the sentiment of
nationality in the hundred years fol-
lowing the Congress of Vienna. From
the new start the people of DanZig
bitterly resented separation from Prus-
sia. Nor did the fact that the city and
its environs were erected into a free
state, administered by a high commits
sioner appointed by the League and
governed by a local Senate, lessen the
opposition For Danzig felt itself q
German city. its population was almost
wholly Teutonic, and quite justly saw
its right of self-determination violated
Paris Plan Works Badly.
For Is years, therefore the Paris
plan has worked badly. To insure the
Poles against any domestic interfer-
ence the railways were placed in their
hands Portions of the haIbor, includ-
ing the Westeplatte. between the Baltic
and the curving stream leading to the
city wharves, were placed under Polish
control. AS consequence consider

BARGAIN YEAR FOR

PARIS, April Is. - (UP). -
Tourists coming to France this
season will find 1888 something
in the nature of "bargaiu
year"
The little business set bacl;
has some effect, especially as re
CARDS hotel prices.
Accordingly the American dol
lar should buy much more IN
Europe than in preceding years.
Since 1929 hotel prices have
dropped 40 per cent and in some
cases 80 per cent.
Another salient feature is the
real existence Of minimum
rates in all hotels, and these min.
imum rates. which were almost
impossible to obtain heretofore
now are available.
The French railroads still have
not responded OF the genera
price drop. There are. however
number of advantages for thu
foreign tourist, such as specia
weekend tickets with a reduction
Of 80 per cent and in some case
60 per cent.
Restaurants generally have rC.
duced their prices. Some Of the
best known places here now arr
running fixed price meals at one
dollar and even less, wine III
cluded.
For tourists, who like to hunt
bargains. 1893 will be a delight
ful year. because there is hardly
a shop which will not discuss the
price. and attempt to get within
reach Of the customers means.
