ARMS AGREEMENT
HOPE ONLY FAINT.
British Statesmen Expect
France to Continue De-
mands for Security.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON. March 24-Britisll
statesmen were represented tonight as
believing there is only the faintest hope
of breaking the European arms dead
lock.
They expect France to show no
signs of relaxing her demands for Sc
curity when she replies to oral in
ouiries from Great Britain for an am
plification of the French disarma-
ment note published last night.
This anticipation cast gloom over
Whitehall, and British official quar-
ters said they could see no reason for
calling a proposed conference out
side Geneva of principal powers in an
effort to save the disarmament cause.
One Prospect Seen.
American participation in such a
meeting has been suggested but the
British view is that continuation OF
bilateral negotiations holds the only
proSpect-though very faint-of solv-
ing the knotty problem.
Exchanges between Ambassadors be-
gan last week regarding the French
communication but, said official cir
cles, they have so far been "incon-
elusive
Sanctions against an aggressor, ter
ritorial guarantees, and guarantees
for the execution of a disarmament
pact are expected to be the price
France will continue to demand for
a limited rearmament of Germany,
while keeping her own arms at pres
ent levels.
With the next move in the tangle
apparently up to Britain, the govern
ment seeks more information on the
French stand and plans meeting OF
the cabinets disarmament subcom-
mlttee to study the French message
more in detail.
Interpreted as Rejection.
Some persons close to the Govern
ment saw in the Paris document a re-
lection of British proposals to which
the note replied.
Newspaper comment varied The
Times urged a continuation of efforts
to reach "a splendid objective" but
the Express commented: Almost
everywhere except in Downing street
the note is regarded as an obituary of
the disarmament conference
Rumors in Paris said Geneva dis
armament circles and London are con-
sldering whether to put out "feelers'
in Washington to determine the Amer
lean position toward guarantees of Sc
curity.
The French communication said
bluntly that the Geneva parley may
be regarded as dead if Britain does not
guarantee help against an aggressor.
The French desire for a renewal of
the old Franco British entente was de-
scrlbed as a logical development of
proposals in the last few years This
point was advanced in a secret COM
munication to London
British Seek Parity.
The principle of the British plan
aims at parity and seeks arms reduc-
tions among heavily armed powers and
increases in armaments of powers still
restricted by the treaty of Versailles.
1t was said at the White House in
Washington that the United States
was willing to consult with other ma
tons on disarmament, but would not
enter a security pact pledging the use
OF force against another nation.
League of Nations circles believed
the French note indicated belief that
the rearming of Germany was in
evitable, but that France will talk busi-
ness if she gets genuine guarantees of
security to back up an arms pact.

The Soviets have set the world a
bad example by having only young

The British have come to the con-

There is a plan afoot in the British
war Office to retire Immediately some
of the older generals and replace

out, and during the last five years

French Financial Crisis
Menaces Doumergue
Cabinet.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

France is struggling these days in
the grip of serious financial crisis
which may prove the undoing OF the
Doumergue cabinet. Not that the
French people are broke, there is still
plenty of money in the country. But
the investors don't trust the solvency
of their government any longer and
prefer to keep their money in the pro-
verbal WOODEN stocking rather than tc
invest in government securities.
Last week the government needed q
comparatively small sum; some $780,
900. 900. A survey by the ministry OF
finance proved that the loan could not
be subscribed within the country. So
the French treasury had to appeal to
the old banking house Of Mendelsohn
in Amsterdam to obtain the sorely
needed cash at the high rate Of Az
per cent year.
If the Doumergue cabinet cannot
restore the confidence of the French
people in the Solvency of their owr
government the battle of the franc
may be lost and with it "GaStounet's
government.
The fact that the tourists haze
ceased coming to France has been
serious blo10 to the republic. Be-
fore 1929 no less than $500 .000,-
900 uas spent By foreigners in
Paris, the fashionable French
Summer resorts aud the Cote
d'Azure. The depression, exchange
regulations and tedr OF being
trapped in some unpleasant polit-
ical difficulty hare killed the tour
iSt trade completely.
There is another country in the
world which has almost as many
colonies as Kentucky. 1t is Poland
Warsaw is full of them. The only diff
ference between the Polish colonies
and their Kentucky colleagues is that
the Poles have all seen some fighting
they are the former members of the
Polish legion of Marshal Pilsudsky.

EXAMINERS TOLD
TO Co EASY IN 81
Pecora Reveals Leniency Or.
der for Banks Issued by
Controller.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Evidence from the Detroit banking
inquiry, being assembled yesterday by
Ferdinand Pecora's staff, disclosed an
order from the controller Of the cur
rency in the Fall of 1881 that all ma
tional bank examiners exercise leniency
The order was in the form Of a tele-
gram from j. w. Pole, then controller
The telegram, addressed to Alfred P.
Leyburn. former chief national bank
examiner at Chicago. said:
Please instruct all examiners to ex-
ercise extraordinary discretion In their
work and use every effort to encourage
and sustain the morale in banks ex-
amined.
"Leniency consistent with proper re-
gard for public interest should be ex-
tended Present conditions demand
sympathetic treatment on the part OF
this Office and examiners can in an
important measure contribute to the
alienation of the difficult problems
with which we are temporarily faced. -
Leyburn's statement in connection
with submitting copy OF the telegram
said 1t was the policy of the admins
tration, who was hoping for better
times, to exercise the utmost leniency.
Leyburn, who recently was trans
ferred from Chicago to Cleveland. had
reviewed the negotiations leading up to
the Michigan bank holiday. including
the refusal Of the Reconstruction Corpo-
ration to grant loan and a statement
attributed to the directors they saw no
reason to bail out" Henry Ford.
Leyburns statement criticized the
one-man grand jury that conducted an
investigation into the closing of the
banks last Summer as a ''travesty on
American Justice" He said st has no
legal standing. and from the careless
way in which the truth was handled by
witnesses. they must have been aware
they could not be cited for perjury
under this court"
The chief examiner described the
holding company and unit set-up as a
wheel within a wheel" He said the
company that is supposed to have
strength. in the final analysis. is gen.
orally loaded with stock of the banks
and undesirable assets, and is certainly
used as a medium to make the lopsided
wheels revolve"
He added the "allied strength of the
group is more of a myth than a reality"
