tea table in private room, in the
midst of their love feast, when there
was knock at the door. A German
secretary entered and, having laid a
telegram before his chief, stood at
respectful attention behind the foreign
minister's chair.
Stresemann read the message. With
out comment he tossed it across the
table to his colleagues and dropped
his big, close-cropped, bullet head
into his hands, elbows on table.
BRAND and Chamberlain read the
telegram. 1t was an order from the
German government to Stresemann
not to sign the pact, as it was un-
satisfactory,
Nobody said anything. The French
man and the Englishman sat looking
across at the man whose signature
StreSemann did not move. The secre-
tary stood waiting for his answer,
motionleSs as a statue.
Suddenly Stresemann's big head
snapped back; those expansive, fight
ing shoulders were squared, his hands
came down with an impact that Jared
the table.
Without even turning, his head to-
wards his secretary, Stresemann
barked out these crisp works to make
history:
Tell them to go to hell! I sign!"
And he did sign.

DETROIT, March 17.-John L.
Lovett, president of the Michigan
Manufacturers Association and
spokesman for the National Automo-
bile Chamber OF Commerce, said in
an address tonight that the American
Federation of Labor was using the
threatened auto strike and the Wag-
ner bill barring company unions in
order to force workers to Join the
federation unions.
The speech was broadcast.
why has the Wagner bill beer
propoSed?" asked Lovett. 1T is be-
cause the American Federation OF
Labor has been unable to get men
voluntarily to join the unions.
Why has the automobile INDUSTRY
been threatened with a strike? Simply
because the unions cannot get mem
bers. They have to terrorize men into
Joining their ranks. virtually
machine gun is being held at the
heads of the men and women who
make the automobiles you ride in.
1T is our contention that the ma
Jority of our employees prefer TO
operate through their own chosen
representatives rather than affiliate
with the American Federation of
Labor.
1T is not necessary for the en-
ployes under this voluntary system to
pay heavy dues to support outside
labor union officials.
The union wants recognition. It
wants dues-paying members to keep
union officials secure in their iobs
The only way it can get members is
to force industry to recognize it as the
spokesman for all employees"

The japanese have organized re-

cheaper price than the British ever

speak seven or eight of the Indian

agents peddle their wares from door

They are a remarka BILE lot, these

pretty good craftsmen.
They report to the headquarters
in Calcutta and Bombay all kinds

course of their trauels; about roads,

The luck of the Irish" was cred
tied with having provided bright
sun to glisten from silver and brass

Led by a mounted escort of New

Congressman who come up for re-
election next Fall should envy Turk
-ish politicians. In Turkey there is
no fight over being elected to Parlia-
ment.
While still in Washington, the re-
tiring Turkish Ambassador, Ahmet
Muhtar. has been elected deputy
from the district of Kastamonu in the
Turkish Parliament at Ankara. No
fatigue or expense was involved.
Many of his electors have probably
never seen him. Ghazi Mustapha
Kemal, the dictator of Turkey, thought
few years ago of organizing an op-
position party. He summoned his
Ambassador in Paris. Fethy Bey. to
return to Turkey and set up an op-
position party.
The uenture iDdS so successful
that the Ghnzi had to order the
dissolution OF the party and an
nulled the elections.
Now everything is in order again.
The Turks are voting-there is COM
puIsion to do so-but only for the
one candidate designated by the
Ghazi himself.

had been no change whatever in the
German arms attitude, and that no
progress had been made in months
Of negotiations.
The German plea for an army big
ger than that sanctioned by the YER
sailles pact and corresponding equip
ment was rejected by French states
men, who took the position that its
acceptance by France would be an
official acknowledgment that the
treaty of Versailles was no longer in
force.
Germany Seeks Discussion.
Officials declared that while Ger
many accepts lin principle" project
for arms control and supervision, she
leaves the manner and methods of
such a practice open for future dis
cuSsion. whereas France desires the
point settled Immediately.
The German contention that NaZi
storm troopers are not soldiers and
should not be counted as such met
strong opposition in government
quarters. where it was contended that
semi-ofhcial armed forces must be
counted as regular soldiers in any
disarmament agreement.
The French further contend that
the disarmament problem must be
settled in the League of Nations and
cannot be settled by agreements
opoo,o~ oorntriac
The French note to Britain-a re-
ply to a recent British communica-
tion-invited the London government
to furnish adequate guarantees as a
prerequisite to an arms convention.
An outline was given of recent dis
cuSsionS in Paris and Berlin.
Two Solutions Suggested.
The German message said Berlin
was willing TO accept British and Ital-
ian proposals as basis for further
negotiations, and said discussions ap-
pear sufficiently advanced to lead to
one of two solutions:
First, a short-length agreement, say
of five years. in which strongly armed
powers would agree to keep their ar
maments at the present level. or,
Second. a long-term accord, in
which the powers would accept a re-
duction Of the present arms level.
The memorandum, which was mild
in tone. made no specific suggestions
regarding the amount of armament
Germany wants.
Regarding the international control
plan, the note stated that Germany
is willing to accept the project on a
basis of ''entire parity with all coun-
tries"
Once an agreement is reached on
the number of electives and war ma
terials, the German note added, con-
troll would regulate itself" leaving only
the technical method of applying the
control, which should encounter no
difficulty and should be left for later
discussion"

GENEVA IS ENCOURAGED.
League Pleased at Germany's Adher
ence to LOcarnO Pact.

GENEVA, March IT LP).-League of
Nations circles found very encour-
aging" today Germany's assurances,
given France in an arms vote, that
she will stand by the Locarno post
war pact.
The point was considered the fun
damental tenet in the Reich's COM
munication, which also proposed a
non-aggression treaty with France
with no thought of weakening the Lo-
carno agreement, by which ~Great
Britain and Italy stand sponsors for
peace along the Rhine.
Germany'S vague phrase that she
will consult with other powers con-
cerning her future relations with the
League gave less satisfaction, however,
in League quarters.
The impression grew that If Ger
many signs a disarmament conven-
ton she will seek to force certain
conditions as the price of her return
to the League.
An affirmation was made in the
note that the Hitler government seeks
only juridical and technical changes
in the Locarno pact, whose function
ing closely is linked with the League
Council.
1t also was believed by some that
Chancellor Hitler, following the idea
of Premier Mussolini of Italy, may
make German membership in the
League contingent upon important
notifications in the League covenant.
Germany is believed to want the
League entirely divorced from the
Versailles treaty and have Europe set
tied anew politically.
On the other hand, the Associated
Press representative understood Pre-
mier Mussolini has assured Great
Britain he seeks to strengthen the
covenant, not weaken it.

ton that Germany has no thought of
attempting to weaken the postwar
pact of Locarno, designed to render
it impossible to draw the sword, re-
calls a dramatic incident which made
the agreement possible ip its present

This event, which can have few
parallels in diplomatic history, in
volved the late DR.. Gustav Stresse-
mann, Germany's famous foreign
minister. 1t was by sensational de-
fiance of his own government that he
saved the pact from possible death.

The negotiations at Locarno had

Y TITLE is said, although a good
deal is thought about the Brit

IL are becoming more strained
than the relations between ia
pan and this country. The conflicting
economic interests between Great
Britain and Japan are much more i'm
portant than those between Japan and
the United States.

The situation has taken a turn for
the worse since the breakdown of the
conversations between the British and

The note was the same as that

that it could not be based on provi-
