Little Entente states, and it appears
that they have not been taken much
into the confidence of Mussolini and.
especially, Laval before the pact was
signed.
Mussolini has apparently talked to
the Hungarians; the Budapest gov
ernment issued a statement Monday
saying that it expects to bring about
peacefully and gradually any change
in the territorial clauses of the post
war treaties. The Yugoslavs and the
CZechoslovaks have been ominously
silent.
Has France throsCn YuooslaUid
oUeTbodrd or does LdUdl eIpect to
tollow up his initial success BY
further negotiations to get Italy
and YugoSldDin together? The an
S1Uer to this tUiH be giuen by the
French government in due course.
1t is possible that the French and
Italians should want to wait until the
internal situation in Yugoslavia is
settled before they begin to talk with
the Belgrade government.
But it is also possible that Laval
should have decided that Frances
security is the paramount problem
with which France has to deal and
Frances security demands powerful
allies to stave off the German menace.
Hence, it was essential for him to
gain at small price Italy's sincere
and to leave the Balkan
problems to take care of themselves.
Now Capable.
The Little Entente, some French
political students say, is now out of
its teens and can cope with whatever
situation it may be confronted in the
future
The British royal family has never
forgiven the Greek government the
harsh treatment it afforded the for
mer Greek royal family and the mar
riage of Princess Marina to the Duke
Of Kent has not improved the situa-
ton.
The Greek Minister in London,
Kaklamanos, represented his country
at the wedding ceremony. He wore all
his orders and decorations, including
the Order of the Saint Savior, which
had been created by the Greek Kings.
Queen Mary saw and talked to
him. ut seems to me, Mr.. Minister"

POLICE INCREASE

Sixteenth Street Heights
Favors Brown Proposal
of Adding 106.

Endorsement Of Police Supt. Mai,
Ernest w. Browns request for LOG ad-
ditional policemen was expressed by
the Sixteenth Street Heights Citizens
Association last night when the group
voted to send a delegate to the next
meeting of the Columbia Heights
Business Mems Association to approve
of the proposed measure at the mass
meeting scheduled early next month.
S. B. Loveless, president of the as
sociation, said proper police protec-
ton is impossible with the present
force
A committee was appointed to meet
with a committee from the Citizens
Association Of Takoma Park. D. c., to
discuss association boundary dispute.
Adequate fire protection was urged
In a proposal to the Police and Fire
Committee.
The association amended its con-
stitution to change the meeting night
from the second Tuesday to the third
Monday of each month.
In a letter to the Public Utilities
Commission the group protested the
lack of bus service from downtown in
the early morning hours. The last
bus for the Sixteenth Street Heights
area leaves Eighth street and Penn
Sylvania avenue at 11:50 pm. Other
bus and traffic proposals were referred
to committee for study.
Removal of the remaining poles on
Georgia avenue was requested in
letter to the Public Utilities Commits

with boldness that is appalling and
an apparent absence Of a sense OF

from inexeprience.
AN effort to restore prosperity by
producing artificial scarcities can only
intensity poverty. 1t is not the proper
function of the Federal Government
to curtail the production of food and
useful goods
As far as Maryland Is concerned
he said, there must be no tax that
will result in the curtailment of in
dustrial production.
mo tax can ever be popular tax"
the new Governor declared. 1T is OBJ
vious that we must have new taxation
and ours is the difficult task of devils
ing system that will distribute the
burden equitably and fairly"
Stating it was his desire to rely upon
the legislators for cooperation, Mr.
Nice said he would never attempt
coercion.
1T is important that we legislate
and administer in the interest of all,
adjourning politics, with the sole de-
sire to act intelligently and con-
structively," he said.
Maryland must not and shall not
be deprived of the advantages received
by other States through failure or re-
fusal on our part to fully cooperate
with the Federal Government in relief
matters.
1T has been said that no Maryland
Legislature is capable of performance
of serious business prior to the mid
die of its session. Let us disprove this
assertion"

UPTURN IN POSTAL
INCOME FORECAST.
FarIey's Report Sees Gain
of 0,OO0, 900 if Scent
Rate Obtains.

The steady decline in postal reve-
nues since 1881 will be checked TINS
year. on the basis of present trends
the annual report of Postmaster
James A. Farley said today.
Returns for the first four months
indicate the revenue will amount to
S615, 900, 900, according to the report.
This would be an increase OF about
S3O.OOO00O over that for the IL
months ending June 80 last.
The estimate is predicated on con-
tinuance of the Scent rate for inter-
city first-class mail, which Woulo eX-
pire on June 80 unless the law IS re-
enacted Its continuance was rec
commended by President Roosevelt in
his budget message and Farley pointed
out that had the rate been lower it
would not have been possible to make
the showing of the past year. Then
the department ended with surplus
of Sl2,16l ,4l5.03 exclusive. of course.

Air Situation Cleared"
The report reviewed the alrman
situation. eliminating in the cancella-
ton of outstanding contracts in Feb
ruary.
1t added: "Airmail legislation en-
acted by the last Congress has done
much to eliminate objectionable con-
ditions which obtained in the air
transport industry prior to the an
nullment of the contracts"
Ocean Service Probable.
Inauguration of tranS-Paciflc air
TRANSPORT service within another year
was viewed as highly probable and
the possibility of similar service
across the Atlantic also was envl-
stoned. 1t is assumed" that the
policy of Government aid is to be
continued and in this event such
service would have to be underwrit-
ten, the report said, adding that
finances also should be made avail
able for improving the Alaskan air
service. Harllee Branch, Second As
Sistant Postmaster General, recently
made study of the latter.
The report added that no contracts
were entered into in the past year
under the ocean mail law These Sub
sides now are under investigation.
The several special stamp issues
which the department put out this
past year netted s736,723, the report

They both had a better time in
Rome. Josette was much feted, and
Laval obtained from the Pope the
Grand Cross of the Order of Plus
TX. and incidentally arranged for a
better understanding between the
Vatican and France Josette re-
ceived from the Pontiff rosary of
coral and gold beads.
Treaty Good, If
The treaty of amity Laval signed
with Mussolini is an important docu-
ment, if the Yugoslavs don't throw a
monkey wrench into it.
1t starts with the usual declaration
that the French and Italian views re-
garding the European problems are in
harmony. 1t provides for a common
action against any nations endeavor-
ing to interfere with Austria's in
dependence and opposes any change
in the existing frontiers, by violence.
1t settles the 30-year-o old dispute
betWeen France and Italy oDer the
North African colonies and practi-
cally giues Italy a free hand to deal
as she thinks best 11ith Abyssinia.
These points seem all to be in
Italy's favor. Another point Of the
agreement is satisfactory to France,
since both powers declare that the
German rearmament is illegal and
will remain SO until a special agree
ment on this question is reached by
the Reich with the other powers,
signatories of the Versailles treaty.
This last point was vital for
France. At the last disarmament
conference, MusSolini took the view
that there was no real need to keep
Germany bound to the armament re-
striction clauses of the Versailles
treaty and also favored revision OF
the territorial division of the defeated
nations
All that has now been settled.
Peace Aid Dubious.
But observers are doubtful whether
this Franco Italian agreement will
bring the necessary peace the Euro
pean statesmen talk about so much.
It is noted that there has been
only a perfunctory reference to the

The Greek government wanted to
