HV|CTORY
SEEN IN PACT
ON SAAR
Rowe Agreement to Increase
Prestige of France, May
Deal Blow to Hitler

PARIS. Dec. 81 G.N.SO.-The
Rome agreement on the Saar,
concluded under League Of Ma
tlons auspices several weeks ago,
is regarded as an outstanding
victory for French prestige.
It was for the sake Of her pres
tige that France refused Hitler'S
offer of a bilateral agreement
whereby the Saar would have
been returned to Germany with
out recourse to the plebiscite.
France had in mind particularly
her prestige with Russia and the
Little Entente allies.
Frances uncompromising atti-
tude on the Saar was dictated
by questions of political prestige
and economic interests which
were closely interviewer. This
figured in Frances insistence
that Germany purchase the Saar
mines and other properties with
gold at fixed price if the terri
tory should be returned to Ger
many in the January plebiscite.
The history of reparations was
such that France did not want
past performances repeated in
the settlement of her claims in
the Saar.
France to Profit
The Rome agreement does not
signify that France has ahan-
doned all intention of deriving
the maximum amount of political
capital from the plebiscite.
On the contrary, the report
Of the committee Of three defin-
ing the regime which would be
established if the status quo is
maintained gives France an un'
equalled opportunity to harry the
National Socialists, who have
been proclaiming to the world a
quasi-unanimous vote for the re-
turn to the Reich.
The conclusions Of the COM
mittee of three definitely en-
courage those Saarlanders who
secretly favor the continuance
of the status quo. The COM
mittee recommended:
Cuts Reich Vote
/. Creation of a distinct ma
tionality for the citizens Of
the Saar should they return a
majority in favor Of the status
quo.
2. Admission Of the prin-
ciple that the SaarIanders may
have the privilege of demand
ing a second plebiscite.
3. Germany's promise not to
exercise reprisalS against those
who do not vote in her favor.
These specific guarantees are
regarded as diminishing Ger
many's chances of obtaining an
overwhelming majority.

aboard an American steamer
bound for New York, it was
learned today.
It was not clear Immediately
whether the lmerican girl would
be compelled to spend New Year
Day in prison, as she did Christ
mas Day.
She was arrested at Schone-
burg. December %, as she crossed
the frontier into Germany bound
to spend the holidays with her
parents in the border village OF
Gangloff.
The prosecuting attorney at
waldmohr advised American Con-
sul-General George A. Makinson
at Frankfort that Miss Sittell had
admitted making insulting re-
marks to the customs officials
inspecting her baggage, ridiculing
Nazi uniforms, and casting re-
marks of doubt concerning Hit
ler's "Aryan" stock.
If Miss Sittell is sent back to
the United States by the German
government she probably will have
been returned to America without
having seen her parents, although
she has spent nine days in Jail
just few miles from her parents
home.
Efforts of American authorities
to gain Miss Sittell's release be-
fore New Year Day were ham
pered by the fact that the court
which ordinarily would handle
her case is adjourned until Janu-
