BUFFER STATE is FEARED
THROUGH NAX INTRIGUE
Another Alsace-LOrraine Is Threatened
as Saar Continues to Be Hotbed
of Political Plotting.

should be ruled by the results of the
so-called plebiscite But it does not
necessarily have to act in accordance
with the expressed will of the popula-
ton. The treaty specifies that the
League Council shall determine the
future status of the territory. taking
into consideration the wishes OF the
population" The Council may de-
eide that, even should a majority
favor return to Germany, the future
peace of Europe demands that the
region remain Independent or au-
tonomous or under international con-
troll, or that the welfare of its mi
nority makes it undesirable that Ger
man Nazis be given power, or that
the international political horizon
should clear up before the status quo
is changed.
French Thesis Gains Support.
Since the League Council side
stepped action q fortnight ago the
French thesis on the Saar-namely,
that the plebiscite be delayed or the
return of the territory to Germany
be postponed indefinitely-has gained
considerable support. The continued
intransigeance of Hitler on disarma-
ment, the terroristic tactics Of the
Nazis, both in the Saar and in Aus
tria, and developments within Ger
many itself have cemented the Petite
Entente and France with Italy.
The French frankly declare that q
year ago they would have been in
clined to sanction the return of the
Saar to Germany without even the
formality Of a plebiscite. Italy, Brit
ain and other European countries
would have regarded such step as
eliminating one more of the mon
strosities of the Versailles treaty.
But now things have changed. First
ly, France places no faith in Hit
ler's protestations Of peace. To
Frenchmen q buffer state in the shape
Of the Saar Is an added guarantee
Of security. Secondly, the thousands
Of refugees who have hocked into
the Saar from Germany because Of
their non-Aryan origin or anti-Nazi
political beliefs would have to move
again. France, Switzerland, Belgium
| and Holland now have about 10000
penniless Germans on their hands
and do not want any more. Also the
economic importance Of the Saar as a
source of potential de guerre" (war-
making materially is emphasized by
most European statesmen. Until a
satisfactory disarmament treaty Is
formulated they oppose any strength
ening Of Germany.
Italy Turning Scales.
Strangely enough, it Is Italy which
Is turning the scales against Ger
many In the Saar controversy. Here
tofore Mussolini has been one Of the
strongest supporters Of Hitlerism.
Many Nazis have made pilgrimaged
to Rome, and the Nazi chieftain him
self has publicly credited Mussolini as
being his source Of inspiration. Now
II Duce has changed front entirely
Germany's crusade to make Austria
q Nazi state, as q preliminary step
toward afiiliation with Germany, has
struck fear In italian hearts. Rather
than have Germany as . neighbor,
with q common frontier along the
Tyrol and Adige, Rome has ardently
espoused the French viewpoint. Aus
tria, defenseless, cannot protect her
self or protest against Italian g.

NAVY CONFERENCE
ALREADY IN PERIL
Definition of "Defensive
Armaments" Seen as
Threatening Rift.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 22.-The deflni-
ton of the term defensive arma-
ments" already threatened today as
a barrier to easy agreement in the
naval conversations opening tomor-
row between Great Britain, Japan
and the United States.
The British and American delega-
tions were giving considerable study
to the principle Of defensive arma-
ments equality which the japanese
will present for acceptance, first to
the British and later to the Ameri-
cans.
Experts appeared to be unable to
reconcile conflicting views on what
constituted defensive ornaments and
asserted the japanese definition must
be completely satisfactory and not
controversial, or involved discussions
would result.
Speculation was rife on details Of
the japanese program. While the
plan generally has been indicated
since the arrival of the Japanese del
egation, the details have been kept
carefully guarded, and the other pow
ers we're expecting surprises.
Tsuneo Matsudaria, Ambassador to
London, was expected to outline new
naval pact prepared by Japan which
she would substitute for existing
treaties and the 5-5-3 tonnage ratio
with the United States and Great
Britain.
The American delegates, who will
talk later separately with both the
Japanese and British, are continuing
their informal contacts with the
Japanese.

Large from Washington and Rear Ad-
miral William H. Standley visited

DENIED BY COURT
Mills Also AbsoIved in Suit
Asking Damages for
Public Acts.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Andrew Mellon, Ogden L. Mills and
the Supreme Court found themselves
in agreement today that Government
officials are not personally liable fol
action taken in discharging their
duties.
The court refused to review the re-
fusal of District of Columbia courts
to entertain suit against the Hoover
Secretaries Of the Treasury by the
Standard Nut Margarine Co. of Flor
ida for s250,0O0 damage for the al
legged destruction of their business.
In his reply to The suit, Mellon
contended that to hold officials re-
sponsible would "paralyze the public
service" and mo official would dare
to act in a doubtful situation until
the court of last resort had spoken. >
The company said Treasury OFF,
cials, acting under instructions from
Mellon and Mills, then Undersecre-
tary, had assessed taxes against it:
product in 1929 despite court rulings
that 1t was free from such levies.
Officials we're enjoined from en-
forcing the tax by lower courts and
by the Supreme Court.
Treasury officials took the position,
the company asserted, that the in
junction did not apply during the
appeal and interferred with its busi-
ness by notifying every one that the
product was taxable.
The company contended that while
Government officials enjoy certain
immunity in the discharge Of their
duties they were not protected against
personal liability when their acts were
fagrantly invalid.
