 Paris is in Despair
 Paris atmosphere was one of despair. Henderson was said to hope for nothing moro than . formula which would permit final adjournment of the disarmament conference at it's next meeting at Geneva. May 29.
 Great Britain and France con- tinued their politely acrominous debate regarding the sale of hum dreds = as 1t is reported to be now Rolls Royce engines for German airplanes. Britain takes the posi- ton that the engines are to be used in civil planes; France that q bomb can be dropped from a civil plane as easily as a military one.
 In Germany, the Nazi govern ment was entertaining on tours two Japanese military missions, one from the army the other from the navy.
 The German Junkers Airplane company's representative in China lover which Japan recently de- clared it's "hands off" policy-was understood to have cabled home that he had negotiated q large contract to sell airplanes to the Chinese government.

walks Of life. There is one char
acteristic of Lincoln which is most
impressive. 1t was his deepest
conviction, which endured through
the darkest periods of the Civil
war, that the right ultimately
would prevail. There is in this
movement in Cincinnati the type
Of religious conviction which is
not fanatical; which is not even
ecstatic; which is hard-headed,
and yet idealistic; a conviction, a
faith that local good government
is a possibility. When we at
tackled the old administration, we
were said to be "knocking" our
town. When we said that we en-
pected to put in an economical,
efficient, honest government,
many were the business men who
said it could not be done. And,
with that feeling, they hedged.
They refused to come out. In
some cases they contributed to
both sides. They never committed
themselves in such a way that
they could not Withdraw if the
public should change its mind.
'But the faith of the few men
who started this movement has
been amply justified. The giant
may loom large; he may seem
overwhelming. The inertia of
peoples is even more discouraging.
And yet this group Of Davids. for
all their weakness, were able to
overcome Goliath Of the Machine,
and to establish in Cincinnati and
in Hamilton county good govern
ment conducted by honest men,
with most Of the same tools, most
of the same employees and the
same electorate with which the
job had been done so badly by
their predecessors. They proved
that good government in Ameri-
can cities of substantial size is a
possibility"
