not enforce them under treaties by direct action.
 Baron Konstantin Von Neuratf1, German foreign minitser, to whom the French and Italian notes were delivered, formally rejected in statements to the French and Ital- ian ambassadors the arguments the notes contained. The Germa n argument was that the Versailles military clauses had been violated by the allied nations, in that they did not carry out the treaty's promise to disarm themselves.
 Forecast Is Rcbuke
 League of Nations experts at Geneva forecast that if the council were forced to vote on the Ger man violation of the treaty there would be majority vote rebuking her.
 This would be development of grave import, and it. was hoped that a vote could be avoided by previous pacific negotiation among the four powers most intimately concerned = Germany, Great Br;- tain. France and Italy.
 The French and Italian notes and the formal Germany rejection of their arguments alike laid the necessary basis for the next stage in an effort of paramount import ance to arrange for Gcrmany's re- armament on an agreed basis that will give her honorable equality and at the same time safeguard the peace of Europe through q system of security rteaties.
 Conference May End
 The next step is Sir John Si- mons visit to Berlin on Monday and Tuesday.
 There will be in the meantime an allied conference i nParis Sat urday. Laval will represent France, foreign under Secretary Fulvio Suvich. Italy and Anthony Eden Britain.
 It will be rather a window dress- inf meeting for a reexchange of views already known and an open demonstrat ton of solidarity.
 On simon will rest the respons- ibility of presenting such argu- ments and such hopes to Reichs- fuchrer Adolf Hitler as will permit start toward four-nation negotia- ton for peace.
 After Simon's visit, the three big allied powers will meet probably at Como, in northern Italy. with Mussolini, Simon and Laval repre- senting Italy, Britain and France,
 The final certainty is that Ger many will not consent longer to remain under the restrictions, ot the Versailles military clauses and that France will not consent that these restrictions be removed ex- cept by international agreement.

which would be part of program for guaranteeing mutual security of European nations.
 Neither the note to Germany nor the league citation was in any sense an ultimatum.
 Regarding the German situation, France reserves the right. if Ger many persists in ,defying the treaty, to take measures for it's security in accord with it's allies.
 In the citation to the league, France took advantage of Article XI. paragraph two, of the cove nant which gives league members the Friendly right" to call atten- tion to situations threatening ito disturb international peace or the good understanding between na- tions upon which peace depends"

The government has determined that Germany shall no longer suk. fer the inequalities of the Yer sailles treaty military clauses and planned to place its trust in q full, forcibie, objective statement of itA case to simon.

 Ludendorff Pleased
 Berlin, March 21.-(UP)-Ger- many has restored her defense mot thorugh haggling with the authors of the Versailles treaty or with that monster, the League of Na- tions," but by her own force, Gen Erich Ludendorff said to-day in a statement prepared for publication in his magazine, Am Hciligen Quell Deutscher Kraft"
 The famous wartime general and chief of staff to the late President Paul Won Hindenburg, welcomed the re-introduction of military service to his country, and acknowledged the reference to his military capabilities made by Minc ister of Defense Werner Won Blom- berg on March IF.
 We Germans again breathe free ly and we hail this great national achievement" he wrote. "I can comment upon this. achievement only in my next number since the present issue already has gone to press. However, l feel impelled to express great qualification to all Germans who rejoice with me.
 Furthermore desire to tell these Germans that the word of General Won Blomber spoken at a festival few hours after we had regained our popular army, deeply moves me because I served that popular army and fought for It."

doning aerial warfare everywhere. Urging that the worlds airways be nationalized. Lansbury declared amid cheers:
 "I want the British empire to say it is willing to take chance in an earnest endeavOr to end this foul business of fighting from the sky"
 Lansburg asked Sir John Simon, foreign secretary, to say while in Berlin that Britain disagrees with the manner in which Germany is re-arming. He urged re-conven- ing of the world economic confer ence.
 Britain Is Advised
 France and Italy officially ad- vised Britain today of their poli- ticaI moves in protest against Ger man re-armament. paving the way for a possible united front.
 Andre Corbin, French ambassa- dor. visited the foreign office and delivered copy of the French note to the league of nations.
 It was indicated authoritatively that Britain shares the French view that Germany's re-entry into the league requires special study in the light of last weeks events.
 France, Britain and Italy were understood to have agreed in prin- ciple that "Germany's p@rticipa- ton in the league cannot now be separated from Germany's adher- ence to a system of collective se- curity."
 It was understood that three powers also concurred-apart from the moral issue-that the Versail- les treaty imposed no legal obIiga- ton on Germany's former enemies to disarm.
 Other Matters
 Among other questions which Captain Anthony Eden will discuss with Foreign Minister Pierre Laval of France and Fulvio Suvich of Italy in the three-power conference in Paris on Saturday will be the French request for league action,

 After several propositions tend ing to put this agreement into eff i feet the French government, in &C., cord with the British government, felt able to testify it's, confidence in the Reich government by propos- ing the procedure of free negotia- tions fully compatible with respects flor treaties, and for re-establish- lment, through the contract of a new statute, of German armaments | in some general solution of the security and armaments problems.

 Conclusions Drawn
 ."The French government must draw two conclusions:
 | .1-In general manner the Reich government deliberately fails 1 to recognize the essential principle of the law of men that no power can. withdraw from the engage ment of a treaty or modify its stipulations without the consent of the other contracting nations and through friendly understanding. | "'2-On the other hand and in particula.. after having itself manifested its desire to see clari- fled among the interested powers the immediate results of the nego- tiation to which it was a party, the Reich government. deliberately took the measures most suited to compromise the result of this nego- l tiation by taking away from It. through unilateral action and by an accomplished fact, one of its es- sential objects.
 France Performs Duty
 "The government of the French lrepublic has the duty to raise the most formal protest against these measures, on the subject of which lit formulates immediately all re- serves.
 "Conscious of the effort for con- Iciliation which it has Lever ceased to pursue in all loyalty and with constant preoccupation for the dignity of Germany, to associate the Reich government fully in the
 organization of European security lit can only leave to the German government responsibility for the state of uneasiness thus created in I the world and for the consequences
 which can result--that Is to say for the obligations which might be Imposed by this action on the gov. Iernments of the different interest

It al- ready has received a resolution re- naming Judge Charles Browne to his present post. The busting of Deputy Judge Logan is due to the squabble between the young and new guard in republican circles in Wolcott. It is evident from the judiciary committees action that the young guard has won out and will dictate all patronage matters in the town.

 The racing bill, passed by the
 house, was before the senate where
 leaders claimed it would be ap-

 It becomes effective upon pass age and signing by the governor.
 Senate debate was not expected
 to be so bitter as that in the house which wrangled for four hours and gave approval by 129- 121 after tacking on five amend ments.
 The local option clause placed consent squarely up to the munic- qualities. Acceptance of racing would be voted upon either at annual or special elections. Apr proval of an application by a town
 meeting Is necessary before the question is put to referendum.
 It was believed the number of tracks in the state would be limit ed to two, one in Hartford coun-

 The Danbury fair grounds was
 proposed as a likely site for the
 Fairfield county track, although
 Greenwich, Norwalk, Stamford and New Canaan were being sug- gested as more likely to draw the

 flyers forced to land there in a
 transatlantic flight, and not un- der foreclosure, was said to be sought by New York interests.

REALTY TAX TO BE LESS

Governor Buck last week signed
Senator Chandler's bill which di-
rects the Levy Court in each of the
three counties to turn over to the
State Highway Department all
roads and bridges now under their
control, on July /. This makes the
measure a law and places under
the jurisdiction of the highway de-
partment all the roads and bridges
in the State. The Governor also
approved Senator Wright's bill
which directs all the Levy Courts
to discontinue the levying and COL
lection of taxes for county road
purposes on and after July 1. I'm
der these measures, the Levy
Courts also are limited in the to
tai assessment they can levy for
all purposes in each county. These
are two of the Administration
measures to reduce taxes on real
estate throughout the State and
to help reduce the cost of county
government. A third measure in
this program authorizes an in
crease of one cent a gallon on gas
oline. 1t has been passed by the
Senate and House and is now
awaiting the approval of the Gov
ernor.
