New 5-PoWer Pact
yunkS Versailles Treaty

, LONDON, Feb. 4 G.N.SJ.-Two
, ,beaming French statesmen parted
today from their equally satisfied
British colleagues, having depoS-
>lted in the hands of Germany the
. fate Of a new aand realistic
peace pattern.
Tacitly recognizing Germany's
rearmament. and offering to junk
at last the restrictive military
clauses of the Treaty Of Versailles,
a proposal for new general arms
agreement, freely negotiated" on
a basis of equality of rights in a
system Of security" was offered
to Germany, Italy and Belgium
following a tour-day conference
of representatives Of the two other
.6ignatories Of the Locarno Secur-
aty Pact, France and Britain.
= Plan Aerial Aid
An invitation to the powers to
extend the mutual assistance"
guarantees Of the Locarno Pact
to the air was regarded as the
most important single outcome OF
the London meeting.
Even without Germany, 1t Is
planned for the other four pow
erS to pledge mutual aerial aid in
the event Of aggression, but the
remainder of the scheme is predi-
Gated upon Germany's re-entrance
into the League of Nations and
participation in the Eastern Lo-
carro" Security Pact.
The one eutand-dried result OF
the London talks was the an
nouncement tina Britain, welcom-
ing the Rome agreements of col.
laboration between France and
Italy, promised to consult with
those powers and any other ad-
herentS eff the independence and
integrity Of Austria is menaced." :"

After declaring that neither
Germany nor any other power
whose armaments have been de-
fined by the peace treaties is en-.
titled by unilateral action to mod.
ify these obligations, the joint
Franco-BritiSh st a tement con-
tinued:
''NOthing could contribute
more to the restoration Of conf.
dence and the prospects Of
peace among nations than a
general settlement freely negOti-
ated between Germany and the
other powers. This settlement
would establish agreements re-
garding armamentS generally,

Who Suffers Most from Heavy
Taxation?
(Napoleou Homestead)

Il should be everlastingly empha-
cized that the tax problem Is every
citizens problem-whether he Is
millionaire or worker for wages.
Il should likewise be emphasized
that the tax problem Is of greater
significance to the man Of small
means than to the man with large
means. In spite Of al the talk about
taxing the r1ch." government sub
sists principally from revenue derived
from taxes on things bought by the
millions Of representative Americans.
The rich are taxed heavily, It Is true
but the revenue from that source
barely makes . dent In government
receipts. The rich are 50 few and far
between, especially In these days, that

wealth Il would soon be bankrupt
without additional funds.

We Should Help

District meetings Ut which North
Dakota win take stock Of the pos
sibilities for constructive action un-
der the proposed federal works plan
should find Bismarck fully prepared
with . program to put local men to
work ut worthwhile projects.
TWO Of these recently have been
mentioned In The Tribune and both
should be urged at the forthcoming
conference.
The first Is the proposal to con-
sruct additional buildings ut Fort
Lincoln % that both commissioned
and non-comr ,ssioned officers may
be adequately housed. This suggest
ed Improvement should win especial
favor with the government because
It VIII serve the dual purpose Of re.
lieving unemployment and adding to
the value Of federal property in this
StatA
The second project witch Bismarck
should advance u the construction
Of one Of more undespasses between
the northern and southern parts Of
the city. Through the years such .
facility would save . number Of lives,
to say nothing Of improving traffic
conditions.
Committees from the American Le-
sion are already ct work on the Fort
Lincoln and underpass projects and
the Association Of Commerce also Is
interested In both Developments. Be.
tween them, these organizations
should arrange 70 zee that Bismarck
Is wen represented at the coming con-
ference and that her needs are press
ed Tor consideration.
Thousands Of dollars In federal
money have been spent here during
the last year and . half but few
public improvements Of substantial
or lasting benefit have been obtain
ed We should do our best to help
the president reverse that condition
and make sure that worthwhile re-.
suits are achieved under the new
program.

We Grow Older

Some Of the influences that are

some are hidden, and move onward

the balance Of voting power from
those under 20 to those over so. This

When the news first came. some
Of the boys felt as II they had been
out skating and somebody had sud-
denly stolen the Ice. But after .
great yell from all around town for
copies Of the decision, met In some
cases by quick photostattng, study
began to show the decision to be
based on absence Of . mere few words
regarding limiting standards for the
presidents power to bar "hot oil"-
which Justice Cardo7o felt might be
considered as implied without need OF
actual expression.
There was no denial Of congress
sional power to delegate the right to
stop "hot oil" or anything else, as
Stunning the delegated power were
properly hedged.
No one Is in position to predict
further Supreme Court NRA and
AAA decisions, but the oil decision
seemed to threaten no danger to
codes unless similar mistakes are
made.
