ROME, April 5.-Economic experts
of Italy, Austria and Hungary met
today to work out details OF two eco
nomic protocols agreed upon March II
by Benito Mussolini Chancellor En-
gelbert Dollfuss of Austria and Hun
gary's premier, Julius Goemboes.
Their work must be completed by
May Is, when the accords are to be
signed.
Improvement In the commercial sit
uation of Austria and Hungary-par-
ticularly to strengthen the independ-
ence of Austria-is the fundamental
objective of the two agreements.
Details to Be Decided.
The experts must reach a conclu-
sion on details with reference to gen.
eral principles agreed to by the three
premiers. These are:
/. The commercial accords now ex-
isting among the three countries are
to be widened and new treaties con-
cluded by May Is.
2. Italy and Austria will agree to
buy more wheat from Hungary. Italy,
in fact. will be in good position to do
so, since her crop this year will be
smaller than last.
3. Bilateral accords will be signed
to increase transit traffic through the
Adriatic parts of Fiume and Trieste.
On his way back to Vienna March II
Dollfuss inspected Trieste, once the
chief port of the Austro- Hungarian
empire.
Preference to Be Given.
4. Italy and Austria are to work out
system of preferential tariffs to fa-
vor as large a number of Austrian
manufactured products as possible.
S. Agreement are to be negotiated
between Austrian and Italian pro-
ducerS in certain lines.
When the conventions are COM
pleted it is probable other nations
particularly CZechoSlovakia. Rumania,
Yugoslavia and Germany-will be in
vited to join. This is the fundamental
idea of II Duce's Danubian plan an
nounced last Autumn
When the negotiations that began
today are completed, the Italian, Aus
trian and Hungarian governments will
name a permanent commission of
three experts to study the develop
met of commercial relations among

Borrowed From Banks.
Turning 10 the actual monetary
technique of the administration, one
is struck by the fact that the object
of its fiscal policy is, apparently. to
force as much money into circulation
as possible without arouSing the re-
sentiment Of the citizen in his capacity
of taxpayer. and without arousing his
alarm as an investor-for there still
are some investors and potential in
veStorS among our citizens
In order to accomplish this, resort
has been had to the banks instead
of to the public That is. instead of
borrowing money from its citizens by
means of gigantic bond issues. the
Government has been steadily making
good its deficits by borrowing from
the banks, giving therefor short-term
notes.
1t should be said. in fairness to the
present regime, that it did not in
vent that roundabout way of procur-
ing money. but it perfected and ex-
tended it to a dangerous degree. /
say dangerous, because the whole
procedure, pushed to any great length,
is almost certain to undermine what
remains of our financial system-and,
of course. great deal still remains.
In reality. this system means that
the Government uses its deficits as
an asset at the bank. and on the
basis thereof obtains money by
means of its obligations These
Treasury obligations, in turn. be-
come the indirect basis for the issu-
ance of new currency! That is lifting
yourself by your bootstraps with a
vengeance
Let us see how it is working In
1920 these Government obligations
amounted to S5,00O,000 900 out of a
total debt of about $4,000. 900 900.

Committee and the retirement Of
Maj. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois, chief
of the Army Air Corps, was urged
last night by Representative Fish,

Fish declared "the newest scheme

He said he felt the real fraud" in

traits came from the efforts CT pri-
vate airline companies that held no

Referring to the Air Corps chiefs
statement that the Army could fly the
mails satisfactorily, Fish asserted:
The fact is that Gen. Foulois has
been so wrong from the beginning

diced that they are not entitled to
any consideration. He has to share

Franco, British Talks
on entente Cordiale"
to Be Resumed.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ]
TINE Franco British diplomatic
negotiations for the purpose
of reviving the old entente
L cordiale" are expected to be
resumed some time this week.
The conversations had to be sus-
pended because of the Easter holi-
days, when the entire British cabinet
takes long week end and refuse to
talk business regardless of how press
ing that business may be.
If these conversations are success
full, and observers here believe that
they may be, the frontiers Of Great
Britain will be moved to the Rhine,
with France and Belgium as the first
lines of defense.
The rapid development of Germany
as a military power is worrying the
British statesmen. This is the rea-
son they are lending a sympathetic
ear to the suggestions of the French
diplomats to conclude an agreement
for the reciprocal guarantee of their
present frontiers.

A German aggression in the west
is not feared at the present moment,
but who can tell what the future
may have in store. The British want
peace and security in Western Eu-
rope and don't care what may happen
in Central and Southeastern Europe.
On the contrary. since the dis
armament conference has proped
a failure, they uant to bring back
the same political situation as had

Massachusetts,, under whose direction
hearings have been held for weeks on
the measure to outlaw employer dom

indicated drastic changes would have
to be made before the committee
would approve.
Before the resumption of hearings
today, Walsh said the testimony pre-.
viously given had called into question
the wisdom of many of the measure s
provisions for rigid control of employ
er-employe relationships.
Apparently slated for discard or
modification were the clauses which
employers believe would virtually
doom so-called company unions"
Members of industry and some eco
nomists all have hit at the bill, whose
preamble includes the assumption that
the individual, unorganized worker"
is helpless to exercise actual liberty
of contract, to secure a just reward
for his services. and to preserve a de-
cent standard of living"
