LONDON. March 20.-A consensus
of officials and public gathered from
European capitals today is that there
is no immediate danger of war, al
though the Old World is headed even
tually for another Armageddon unless
the problem of national security is
solved
Despite the ominous situation. the
opinion was that sanity holds the up
per hand in Europe.
Maj. Alfred Duff Cooper, financial
secretary of the treasury, in a speech
yesterday said the recent events clari-
fed the position, making plain what
many have been thinking and believ-
ing, but there is no cause for despair" !"
Situation Not Minimized.
He did not minimize the situation
as the most dangerous since 1914, but
asserted -four great European coun-
tries who desire peace-Great Britain,
France, Italy and Russia-should
stand solid together for peace and
make it plain to the world that they
intend for peace to be continued"
1t remained for the London Times
calmly to point out that Sunday-the
day when the impact of Adolf Hitler's
proclamation was most violently felt

France in view of criticism that Great
Britain's note on the German arma-
ment plans was unduly mild.
British official quarters expressed
confidence the united front of the
three powers in their attitude toward
the German question would be restored
in consultations among their repre-
sentatives and that their relations
would be strengthened.
The British were surprised by the
French and Italian reaction to their
note, being convinced that the
changed situation resulting from Hit
ler's unexpected declaration necessi-
tated the form of language employed.
They believed Germany's favorable
reply, indicating willingness to go
through with the Berlin negotiations,
demonstrated that Great Britain's
diplomacy in this instance was exact
ly what the situation required.

Credit Diversion Cited.
Amid all the exultation, financial
experts pointed to the economic sig
nif1cance of the diversion of credits
from ordinary business to the arma-
ments industry. This, the experts say,
has been heavy factor in the Reich's
raw material prices and the inability
of the Reichsbank to obtain sufficient
bills of exchange to pay foreign debts

marks Approximately $4,000, 900 ,o00)

bombers and other war equipment and
kindred military activities since Hitler
became Chancellor.
Five Billion additional marks, the
experts estimate. remain to be used
enough to last for eight or nine
months at the present rate Of expendi-
ture. Thereafter, they assert, some
sort of imitation must be resorted to
unless world business improves tre-
mendously.

WAR STEEL PROFIT

Munitions Probers Hear
Company Piled Up $685.
100000 on Pretext.
BY the Associated Press.


Testimony that the United States
Steel Corp. had piled up $4,000, 900
in surplus during the war under pre-
tense that 1t was necessary for en-
larging plants was given the Senate
Munitions Committee today by John
T. Flynn, economist and writer
A while earlier President Roosevelt
said at his press conference that the
administration and the Munitions
Committee were working toward the
common objective of taking profits out
Of war and that legislation this session
appeared possible.
He added that he had received a IA
vorable report from his special COM
mittee headed by Bernard M Baruch,
chairman Of the World War Indus
tries Board, and the information would
be given Congress.
Flynn, who is adviser to the COM
mittee on means of taking excess
profits from war, declared the big steel
making corporation put enough profit
in its price not only to pay of all war
time construction, but to come out
with $96,000,000 to spare.
His testimony was given, he said. to
illustrate his contention that price
fixing was not an effective weapon
against war profiteering.
He declared the Government could
not set up an adequate system of fixing
prices and must in nearly all instances
depend on the producing companies
for information on what is fair price.
Such matters as amortization of nee
essary wartime plants, he argued,
should be settled after the war-"in
the same way amortization and de-
probation of the soldier is settled after
the war"

WAY IS OPENED
FOR RURAL AREA
TO GET POWER
100000 Fund Made Available
Through New State Electri-
fication Law
No Direct Grants
Would Create Electric Power
Districts; $lO0,O00,00O
Available

OLYMPIA, July 80 First
applications for creation of rural
electric power districts in Washing
ton have been received by the state
department of conservation and de-
velopment, Director E. F. Banker
reported today
The department will serve in an
advisory capacity for proposed dist
riots seeking a share in the $780,
100000 rural identification fund set
aside from the national $4,800,00O,-
900 work relief appropriation.
First application came from the
Stemult Irrigation district, near
Wenatchee, where % prospective
consumers headed by Richard G..
Hedges drew up detailed plans for
a power service extension from
nearest existing transmission lines.
The second inquiry was from
Capt. Nels Anderson, representing
so families in the Silver Lake dist
riot of Cowlitz county.
No direct grants will be made by
the federal government for finan-
cling rural power lines, Banker said,
but where engineers regard projects
as feasible and self-hquidating,
money will be loaned at low rates,
probably 3 per cent, to be retired
over a 2O-year period. Applications
must be approved by Morris L
Cook, administrator of rural electri-
fication, and M. o. Swanson, chief
engineer.
Formation of rural power dist
riots was authorized under Wash
ington state law by the Grange
Power Bill, approved by vote of the
people last fall. The federal pro-
gram will permit financing without
adding to direct taxation, to be paid
for by benefiting consumers over a
long period.
The REA contemplated, in most
cases, consumer districts should buy
power at wholesale rates from ex-
listing power companies, either pri-
vately or municipality owned, and
carry it over their own lines to out
lets at farm houses and other
points. Liquidating funds would be
furnished from consumers checks.
Present Power Facilities Aid
Ideal locations are in fairly
closely-settled areas, close to exist
ing power facilities, where transmits
sion costs would not be excessive in
proportion to consumption.
Districts applying for loans must
furnish data showing number OF
consumers; corporate status OF
sponsoring organization, if any; a
map of the area; length of proposed
lines; location of nearest existing
lines; amount each customer woulc
be willing or able to pay per month;
number of each class OF electric
appliances that might be connected
total revenue that might be palc
per month, and other information
