FLOOD CONTROL
FARLEY Set

SAN BENTTO. Nov. z4-Further
discussion Of plans for obtaining an
additional million dollar flood con-
troll appropriation and passage Of q
bull by Congress authorizing the De-
partment Of State to take over the
flood control system and complete
1t as a federal project win take
place upon return Of John Ewing OF
McAlIen and Oscar G.. Danry OF
Brownsville from Washington in
about two weeks.
The executive committee Of the
Valley Water Conservation Assn.
held a preliminary discussion Of
these matters Friday afternoon but
1t was decided not to reach a final
decision until return Of these men
from the capital.
New county commissioners elect
ed In the Valley this year will be
invited TO attend next meeting Of
the executive committee because the
conservation association intends to
ask the counties to bear the burden
OF additional expenses in obtaining
additional federal money and pass
age OF the proposed bill.
Members Of the committee point
ed out that the irrigation districts
and cities had borne the burden in
the past but that flood control was
a matter Of Valley-wide concern and
that the counties should finance
further efforts TO obtain additional
funds for completing the system.
They feel that this expense can be
taken care Of out OF the county
levee maintenance funds because II
Congress can be induced TO pass a
bill designating the flood control
system as a federal project under
jurisdiction Of the state department
the counties would be relieved Of
maintenance costs.
+. S. Robertson. secretary Of the
association. said that he had never
looked upon negotiations TOR govern
ment funds as solicitations for federal
aid. Rather. the attitude has been
that Of the Valley asking the govern
ment to assume a proper obligation
because Of international aspects OF
the problem.

FRENCH DENY
ARMS TREATY
With SOVIET

PARIS, Nov. "a. -tP1- The
startling assertion that an alliance
had been arranged between France
and Russia met with official
denial Saturday from the ministry
Of foreign affairs which said there
had been no military accord"
"An rumors relative TO the ex-
istence OF a Franco-Soviet military
accord are without foundation"
said the ministry.
Emphasize Understanding
Archimbaud's friends commented
that he had emphasized Friday an
understanding" rather than an
alliance or a military accord.
The implication Of Archimbaud's
statement caused a cabinet meet
ing TO be hurriedly called Satur-
day. Foreign Minister Pierre Laval,
fresh from his talks with Foreign
CommiSSar Maxim Litvinoff Of
Russia at Geneva, laid the whole
European situation before Pres
ident Albert Lebrun and the min
listers.
The cabinet then announced APP
prevail Of its long-delayed reply
TO Poland's refusal OF Sept. ~ to
Join an eastern Locarno pact, and
officials reiterated that continuance
Of those negotiations indicated
France has not yet made any &C
cord with the Soviet.
Archimbaud met the suggestion
OF officials that he modify his
Fridays declaration by altering II
In the official journal.
Instead Of stating i don't say
an alliance or military accord" he
corrected the official report TO
read: rs there between these two
great nations a military treaty or
simply q close union?" which gave
small satisfaction.
He left untouched his phrase
ait is undeniable that this under
standing exists" and the remainder
Of his address before the chamber.
Desirable for Budget
Archimbaud's declaration, which
went unchallenged, "a considered
by Herriot's supporters IS desirable
both TO warn Germany and to
reassure his country with the as
sertion that powerful Soviet air
and land forces were ready to CO.
operate with France.
The budget total passed by the
chamber was an increase Of $780,
100000 francs ($108. 240. 0Q0)- over
the expenditures for this year.
