zisting agreements to maintain peace,

existing agreements to maintain peace,
the Secretary stated: 1T seems to
this Government most important at
this period of worldwide political
unrest that governments and
peoples keep faith in principles and
pledges"
This statement, tame as 1t appears
from its praseology, made a profound
impression both in London and in
Toxic.
The British government officially Is
asking the japanese government for
explanations regarding the intentions
Of Japan toward China, while Toxic
is placing itself on the defensive by
stating that the Chinese themselves
were the first to break the nine-power
pact.
In accordance with the provisions
Of that treaty, signatories are entitled
to exchange views regarding any sit
uation which might occur and endan-
ger the existence Of the agreement.
The British and the American govern
ments have been doing this ever since
the Japanese Army started the "au-
tonomous move" in Peiping and Tien-
tsin.
A similar exchange of views is tax
ing place between the British and the
French governments, while yesterday
Sir Samuel Hoare adjured Italy to
settle as quickly as possible the East

The peace angels, Laval and Hoare,
are offering Italy not an olive branch,
but the peace dove on a silver platter.
The new peace Offering consists
in part OF SeldSsie's empire-G
large portion of the non-AnrllGric
regions OF Ethioptd-mostly ndrshy
lands.
Whether Mussolini will find the dish
to his taste is another question. Those
who have followed closely the mental
ity of the Italian dictator doubt that
he will accept it. It may be well pre-
pared, but it is not nearly big enough
for his appetite.
So far, Washington hears, the eco
nomic sanctions have not had the
desired effect.
It is true that normal, legitimate
trade between the members Of the
League of Nations and Italy has come
to a standstill.
But the bootleggers, the export
sharks and wlldt not hare appear
ed in large numbers. Nothing goes
through the customs station at
Moddne on the Itdlidn-French
border. The toUn Is dead and
hundreds OF tamilies haze been
placed on the dole.
But across the paths Of the Alps
caravans Of mules and donkeys take
into Italy everything Mussolini's gov
ernment needs for the purpose of con-
tinuing the war.
And the same happens on the Swiss
Italian border and on the Yugoslav-
Italian frontiers.

More Safety Zones Urged.
Hawley S. Simpson, research en-
eineer, American Transit Association,
advocated more widespread use OF
safety zones.
Highway engineers, thinking al
most solely in terms of unobstructed
automotive mileages. have given prac-
tically no consideration whatever to
the needs of other than motor traffic" :"
he said "As result, streets and high
ways are raging torrents of traffic
without single stepping stone on
which the adventurous pedestrian may
pause for refuge"
Simpson said so little attention had
been given to foot traffic moving in
the same directions along highways
as motor traffic that, for every 10000
miles of paved rural highway, there
are only 2 miles of surfaced walk ION
which the pedestrian may travel with

brunt of economic sanctions is another
factor which worries the British and
the French. This stole attitude Of
the Italians is attributed to the pre-
vailing war hysteria. Furthermore, 1t
is believed that Mussolinis planned
economy will keep his subjects going
for quite while.
Nobody in official quarters III Lon

to the reports that the sanctions have
already caused unemployment in
Italy. A nation at war never has
unemployed. The men between 18

much expected naval gesture toward
Italy, and Laval and Sir Samuel
Hoare extended the olive branch to
Italy by making a new and definite
peace proposal.
The elections being over and the

able to recall part Of the British
battle force from the Mediterranean.
The withdrawal of two battleships
and four destroyers to their home ports
in England, two days sailing from the
Mediterranean, does not really weaken
the British position there. But Mus
solini has been longing for such a
move-a counterpart to his withdrawal
of a division of infantry from Libya.

Safety Council Director
Says Accident Drivers
Deficient in Skill.

Most automobile drivers involved In
accidents have had no previous mis-
hap record, according to Sidney j.
williams. director of the National
Safety Councils public safety division.
It is a mistake, williams told the
6ftieth annual meeting Of the High
way Research Board at the National
Academy of Sciences Building. to be-
ueve the relatively few drivers who
simply can't keep out of trouble" are
responsible for most traffic casualties.
Most drivers involved in accidents
are those who are not bad enough
to 60 looking for trouble, but not
quite good enough to keep away
from it."
The board meeting entered its third
and final day today, with l3 addresses
or reports scheduled for presentation,
all of a highly technical nature. L.
e. Conrad and E. R. Dawley Of the
Kansas State College have prepared
q paper describing how streamlining
has reduced wind resistance.
Urges Saving of Lives.
In his address yesterday Williams
said sufficient knowledge of the causes
of highway accidents is available to
save between 10000 and $4,000 lives
yearly. Only application OF that
knowledge stands in the way Of cur
failing the automobiles death toll,

Whatever happens in Europe today,
the French continue to be afraid OF
their neighbors on the Rhine.
There hare been efforts in recent
iDeeks to bring about real recon-
ciliation bet,peen, the French and
the Germans. Hitler is quite iDill-

he mont hear about guaranteeing
the independence OF Austria,
neither tuiH he promise to leaue

And the British, hard pressed by
Mussolini's provoking attitude-he has
not sent $4,000 to Libya and has not
built new roads toward Egypt for
nothing-have finally agreed to give
France the necessary security assur-
ances. These are based on the status
quo of the Versailles treaty and on
the scrupulous observance of the ar

new FIRE RECORD
ESTABLISHED HERE
Local Department Answers
But One Alarm Since
Last Sunday

A new record for the waterbury
fire department was set this week,
the kind Of record that firernen
would like to see in effect the year
round. Since Sunday, the first day
OF the week, Waterbury's flrefnen
have answered but one alarm
the smallest total for a similar,
period in many years of the de-
partment's history.
The one alarm that did come in
was for minor blaze, that re-
quired the fire-fghters services for
q few minutes. The sole call camc
In on Thursday, when a short cir
cult started small fire in car
parked on Pine street.
rho total Of one alarm for the
week is in excellent contrast to
the early spring months, when the
harassed snoke-eaters were bat
Ting dozens Of brush and grass
fires, as well as damaging house
fires, each week. The month OF
April set new total for the NUM-
Der Of calls answered in any one
month in recent years. May, like
wise, was busy, with the brush fire
epidemic continuing through the
early weeks OF that month.
Some OF the brush and woods
fires this spring were among the
worst in the departments history.
Several OF them covered many
acres Of ground, while more than
one, famed by gusty winds, threat
ened homes and property In vari-
GUS sections.
Lieut.. Michael Frlaherty. aide to
Chief Thomas j. Lynch and the
headquarters statistician, declared
this morning that the total Of one
alarm for q week undoubtedly set
a new record. Meanwhile. all fire-
men hope that the fireless spell
will continue. II It does, II will help
materially in bringing down the
years total OF alarms, which
started for O new high with the
many spring brush blages. q
