Offer to Keep Strength

ONLY TENTATIVE PACT
EXPECTED AT PARLEY
Proposal for Abolition of U-Boats
Hinges on Italy,
France.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 3.-The German
delegates to the Anglo-Germ naval
conversations were reported in diplo-
matte circles today to oppose any
British suggestions for the restric-
ton of war vessels by categories.
1t was understood the Germans re-
gard their offer to keep their navy
under IS per cent of the British
strength as the only restriction the
Reich can accept.
They we're expected to insist that
the manner in which Germany dis
tributes her tonnage is a matter for
her to decide alone.
Pact Can Be Only Tentative.
Although Reichsfuehrer Hitler's
proposal for the abolition of sub
marines undoubtedly will be discussed.
there is little belief that anything
more than a tentative agreement may
be concluded here. Italy and France.
both with larger fleets of undersea
craft, must be consulted, it was
pointed out. before any final accord
of this nature may be reached.
Hitler sent Joachim Won Ribben-
trop, his armaments expert, here for
the parley. the first definite contact
on naval problems Great Britain and
Germany have had since the World
War.
Won Ribbentrop. elevated to the
rank of ambassador extraordinary
for the occasion, was accompanied by
Rear Admiral Schuster and two as
sistants The formal negotiations
will start tomorrow.
Assurance Is Promised.
AS the German delegates left Berlin
for London yesterday, II was indicated
they would assure the British that
Hitler has no intention of renewing
the former Kaiser's challenge to
Great Britain's sea power. This as
surance was said to be the concession
Germany is prepared to make in re-
turn for Great Britain's blessing for
the Reich's expanded naval construc.
ton plans.
1t was said also that the Germans
would present proposals for an aerial
accord. including possibly Germany's
demands for parity In the air. a mu-
tual assistance agreement and out
lawing of air attacks upon civilian
populations.
The Germans air proposals we're
understood to contemplate limitation
of aerial strength as now constituted
without scrapping of planes already
built.

O'Mahoney'S Proposal

~ DlOpUSSu ~ lilt
President that all corporations doing
interstate business be licensed so as
to make possible the carrying out OF
at least the principles of the N. r. A.
codes
The Wyoming Senator said as he
was leaving the White House that this
idea was not a new one inasmuch
as it was proposed at least a quarter
Of century ago. He declined to COM
ment upon the Presidents attitude
;oward this proposal.
Senator OMahoney said he told
the President the great majority of
the people of the country want the
n. r. A. codes continued one way or
another and are hoping that the
President will find some way 10 make
this possible He said also that the
situation which has developed since
the courts n. r. A. decision has served
10 solidify the Presidents relations
with business and the people generally
and that Mr.. Roosevelt is in stronger
with the public than ever before.
He also expressed the opinion that
he thought Congress had the power
to make laws affecting nrrast9te COM
merce as well as interstate commerce.
in which event Congress could then
pass legislation that might serve TO
| continue the making principle

ByrDs' Views.

dent. Speaker Byrns expressed it as
his personal opinion" that nothing
should be done about a constitutional
amendment until the final effect of
the Supreme Courts N. r. A. decision
had been determined.
Nothing definite has been deter
mined about n r. A. so far as l
know" the Speaker told newspaper
men. Probably next week We will
know something"

will go ahead with other legislation

Asked when he thought Congress
could adjourn if it followed that plan.

guess
Concerning N. r. A., he said:
Personally, l think t would be
better to defer considering a consti-
tutional amendment until We see. in

noblest in history" he remarks. But to take
that chance youth must not be afraid to show
itself not as perpetually clever and shiny and
speeding. but as filed with the awkward faith
dipped simplicity which is the quality Of

1T must not be afraid of anything-for
Just ahead Of US may lie the worlds most
vicious war. or the benign curbing Of cancer
and tuberculosis; another Shakespeare, or an
other scourge of Dillingers in low places and
Kreugers in high; a flight to Mars. or a de-
scent into an ocean Of lava; a peaceful world
nation, or a world shattered into 10000 bandit
tribes"
And then he adds this significant COM
ment:
There are two equal sins for thinker or
a doer in this year Of 1885: to despair Of the
noble future Of mankind; and to believe that
this savage race. mankind-so much more
savage than the tigers, because We kill not just
for meat but for Cur highest ideals-can be
made all sweet and holy just by few fine
phrases"
A size-up of this kind is worth re-reading
and thinking about. For while nearly all Of
us are painfully aware Of the disastrous things
that may happen to the world during the next
generation, we often forget that it is equally
possible for truly magnificent things to happen.

CROWN OF FEARS

BARBARA HUTTON MDIVANI, her friends
- say, will move to France, where she can
live "unmolested by enyious radicals" Radicals,
they say, are getting too thick in this country
for her peace of mind.
Poor little rich Princess Barbara She bears
a cross of gold, wears a crown of fears More to
be envied are the working girls who took in
across the counters the dimes that made the
WoClworth millions. They may fight uphill
against poverty, but at least they do not flee
from ghosts.
Princess Barbara is not to blame for her
riches. She neither earned her fortune, nor
wrung it from the sweat of others. 1t was given
to her And she is not to blame for being born
in society which has not yet learned to break
down by higher wages and by taxation the con-
centration of wealth which breeds depressions
and radicals.

RECOVERY BY SELFISHNESS

IF every one connected with the cycle of re-
4 pairing and undermining American homes
could be smitten by an attack of intelligent
selfishness, our swing back toward prosperity
would get an enormous impetus.
This is the statement of Louis j. Alder,
chief of the speakers division of the Federal
Housing Administration. He points out that if
repairs were made upon all American homes
which really need them, it would keep $780,
600 workers busy for a solid year-whlch, at
low estimate would inject at least S6.OOO,-
100000 into the channels Of trade.
But it is only intelligent selfishness that
will put the program across" he warns 1.-THE
home owner must be selfish enough to want
betterment Of his home. the banker to make
interest on his loan, the builder his profit, and
the worker his wage"
II is to be hoped that Mr. Alder can sell
his idea Putting 100000 men to work in the
building trades would deal the depression
body blow.

KEEP COLLEGES FREE

ITO those who might be deluded by the cur
u rent myth that our universities are Com
munistic hot beds, we >commend a recent
speech by DR.. Robert NJ Hutchins, president of
Chicago University.
DR.. Hutchins calmly debunked the charge,
showed that smugness rather than radicalism
was dominant on American campuses, and I'M
masked the Red-baiting, faculty-heckling
alarn1ist as the real enemy of democracy.
Wherever freedom of inquiry discussion
and teaching have been abolished" he said,
freedom of the press, freedom of religion,
and freedom of speech have been threatened
or abolished too.
The American people must decide whether
they will longer tolerate the search for truth.
If they will, the universities will endure and
give light and leading to the nation. If they
will not, then as a great political scientist has
put it, we can blow out the light and fight it
out in the dark for when the voice of reason
is silenced, the rattle of machine guns begins"
Historic Athens DR.. HutchinS recalled made
the fatal mistake of not recognizing that free
government rests upon amending inquiry and
debate:
You will even find Socrates discussing
Communism in the republic of Plato. The
charge upon which Socrates was executed was
the same that is now often hurled at our own
educators: He was accused of corrupting the
youth. The scholars of America are attempt
ing in their humble way to follow the profess
sion Of Socrates. Some people talk as though
they would like to visit upon them the fate
which Socrates suffered. Such people should
be reminded that the Athenians missed Soc
rates when he was gone"

can not understand that the only
way to prevent my Negro sisters ard
brothers suffering is to keep this
monster out of our midst.
If it were not here, it would save
our people many thousands of dol
lars yearly. indianapolis was pc
culiarly free Of this evil and have
not heard OF it in this city for many

fore, can not understand why it
Is permitted now. This can not go
on without at least the tacit per-
mission Of our police department
and certainly not without the
knowledge of the chief of police.
We Negro people resent very
strongly the impression that gam
blers lead us politically and if the
city officials imagine they are pay
ing a political debt to my folk they
are badly mistaken. The operation
of this lottery and the inactivity of
the officials from the Mayor down
is an insult to the intelligence OF the
biggest portion Of the Negro race in
this city.
