OFFICIALS SILENT
ON NL0ND0N PACTS
Step Taken by British and
French Favored Here,
However.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Official quarters in Washington were
careful not to express any oficial
opinion regarding the results Of
Franco-B British conversations held last
week in London.
The State Department is, of course,
intensely interested in the new de-
velopments in Europe, because any
improvement in the political situation
to which Germany may be a party
is regarded as an important step to-
ward an eventual reopening of the
limitation of arms conversations. Dis
armament Is next to multilateral trade
agreements, the question closest to the
heart Of Secretary Of State Cordell
Hull. But, In view Of the unmis-
taxable trend of American public
opinion against foreign entanglements,
regardless of how platonic they may
be, the State Department is reluctant
to express publicly any definite opin-
ion on what has happened in London.
1t takes the attitude that it welcomes
any move which may lead to relax
alton of the present tension, but, after
all, Eurcpe's affairs are her own.
Wise Step Recognized.
The fact that the British and the
French statesmen have recognized for
the first time since the end of the
World War that Germany should be
recognized as an equal is considered
here as wise step which might lead
to an improvement of the relations
between the Reich and her neighbors.
American diplomats have frequently
hinted in their conversations with
their Europeon colleagues that since
Germany has actually rearmed, moth
ing but force could stop her from
junking the military clauses OF the
Versailles treaty. Since neither
France nor her allies could conceiv-
ably adopt such a method to main
tain the Versailles treaty, the Amer
ican diplomats believe an understand
ing on the existing German forces
should be reached.
Hopes for Germany's Return.
The administration is consequently
gratified at reports from London that
the French and the British have be-
gun to realize the wisdom of the theory
that Germany should be treated as an
equal, and hope Germany will soon
express her willingness to return to a
limitation Of arms conference at
Geneva.
The other matters which occupied
the Franco-B British statesmen, such as
treaty Of non-aggression in the air
is being followed with interest without,
however, being given an exaggerated
importance.

purpose to be expended at the Presi-
dents discretion Oliver told Secre-
tary Hull, I'VE will ask that you sub
NIT supplementary estimate for that
purpose to the directors Of the
budget"
The bulk of the Secretary's testi-
mony had to do with efforts to re-
store foreign trade.
1--WE face vigorous world competi-
ton in both our agricultural and our
industrial products" he declared.
"Slamming the door shut against for
eign products, we have found the door
shut against our own products.
Foreign countries do not have the
purchasing power with which to pay
for our goods They cannot borrow
indefinitely. They can not send us
any appreciable additional quantity of
gold.
I'VE have reached the end of the
road.
"If the world as whole Is to
progress we must get away from tie
idea that acceptance of the products
of other countries Is inimical to our
own interests ="
The dismantling of the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
which had reached its peak under
Herbert Hoover, was one Of the first
moves of the Democratic regime.
Obviously the object of suspicion
of being q political pet" Of the for
mer President, the bureau was raked
fore and aft. Secretary Roper re-
called lot out Of 1853 commercial at
taches in various countries; cut SAL
aries of others, and announced that
21 foreign Offices were being closed.
The appropriation for 1894 was sliced
from $4,000 to $1,800,000.
Concurrently, bureau workers, by
executive order, were deprived of their
civil service status, the way thus being
paved for their replacement by pa
tronage appointments.

tradition and announced his willing

Anne Cooke returned to Washing
ton Friday night after accompanying
her sister and brother-in-law on their
honeymoon. Both sisters denied that
either Scarlette or themselves mad
taken any jewelry which did not be-
long to them. Anne interceded in be-
half Of Scarlette, but Mrs. Cooke de-
clined to withdraw the warrant.
The three, taking an automobile,

latter's two pet dogs, cut the tele-
phone wires, Mrs. Cooke told police.

to the home of Scarlette's parents in
North Carolina and then left for the
South.
Tells Of Dodging Reporters.
The trio was located several days
later in Brunswick, Ga, hotel. Asked
where they went from there, Mrs.
Scarlette laughed and tossed her head.
"Just around and about" she said.
I'VE lodged the reporters and any one
else who seemed to want to question
US and had a grand time"

lette. while we were In South Geor-

The bridegroom pointed with pride
to the pelt Of large deer.
As to their plans for the future,
they were too uncertain to discuss
until the family difficulty" could be
ironed out.
Dogs Lost in Crash.
The two dogs which Mrs. Scarlette
had with her-a prize winning wire
haired terrier and q young Boston
terrier-fled in the excitement that
followed the automobile accident last
Saturday night. The car was badly
damaged.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scarlette took their
luggage to a nearby hotel and then
returned to look for the dogs. Scar
lette was arrested by Upper while
searching for the missing pets. De-
scriptions Of the dogs were left in
Savannah and Mrs. Scarlette hopes
to have word of them later.

an air attack and favors the pro-
poSal OF two separate pactS for West
ern Europe, as outlined by Sir John
Simon. British foreign secretary.
Authoritative sources confirmed
that Great Britain clearly did not
intend to indorse the French proposal
for an Eastern European securities
pact, as thus far formulated. when
it joined France in a declaration for
an Eastern European mutual assist
ance agreement. Now it Is indicated
that this latter agreement may also
take the form of an aviation alliance.
Dutch Not Invited.
It was explained that the Neither
lands was not invited to join the
air pact because the intention is for
the scheme to be initiated by those
countries signatory to the Locarno
treaty.
Following the weekend conversa-
tions with British government officials
which brought about the Anglo
French agreement, Premier Pierre
Etienne Flandin of France left for
Paris by airplane. His foreign min
lister, Pierre Laval, left for the French
capital by boat train.
The new scheme to buttreSs the
shaky foundations of European peace,
envisaging Germany's restoration to
complete equality in the society OF
nations, commanded the attention of
continental chancelleries today.
Product of the week ends mo-
mentous conversations between the
premiers and foreign ministers of
Great Britain and France, the new
formula would provide for a simul-
taneous settlement of all the prob
lens which currently beset European
stability.
Gave Impetus to France.
The negotiations gave Frances
campaign for security its most i'm
portant impetus since the World War
in a proposal for regional aerial de-
fense pactS to provide the nations
participating with reciprocal assur-
ances of assistance in repelling an
unprovoked aerial attack.
Great Britain and France plainly
indicated their readiness to enter into
such a defensive alliance and Sug-
gested that the other European powers
be invited to join.
The conversations made certain
that negotiations with Germany will
be opened Immediately looking to-
ward settlement of the armament and
security questions and the Reichs re-
fttrY1 ~ tho 0f Nofinpc
The enticing bait to be hung be-
fore Chancellor Adolf Hitler is a
promise of repeal of the military
clauses of the treaty of Versailles.
Such a concession would bring a sue
ceSsful elimination to the Reichs-
fuehrers unremitting campaign to
restore Germany to its full stature as
a sovereign power.
The French and British govern
ments, sponsoring the new plan, with
Italy's approval. are convinced their
formula Is so fair that Germany must
accept or forever be an outcast.
France Forsakes Stand.
BY its terms France no longer will
insist that the questions of security
and Germany's return to Geneva take
priority over legalization of the
Reich's rearmament. Instead, 1t is
agreed that all problems affecting
European tranquility shall be accord
ed parallel treatment.
In making this sacrifice France OBJ
tanned from Great Britain the recog-
milton Of The security claims which
have formed the corner stone of her
international policy since the World
War.

ROME, February 4 R.-An Italian
government spokesman said today
Italy is doubtful of whether Germany
will return to Geneva, despite the
Anglo-French accords reached in

Of Reichsfuehrer Hitler taking Ger

Nevertheless, the spokesman de-
clared Italy considers the result
reached at London as even better
than she had hoped for and the

The opening words of the manuscript cast doubt up on it's authenticity: Written by me, Christopher Columbus August 3, 1492, for Diego my son." It seems as though a great deal of information and convincing testimony had been packed into a single sentence. There is such a thing as doing too good a job.
