Hungarian governments; they had
agreed that Austria must remain in
dependent-in other words, that under
no circumstances would Germany
ever be permitted to effect consolida-
ton with Austria, peacefully or other
wise.
Seemingly, however, this was not
enough for Mussolini for in case Of
crisis Italian, Hungarian and Au-
strian troops might not be sufficient
to stave off German attack. So
now the fascist dictator covets the ae-
tive assurance of French adjust ia
case!
Apparently, Laval has given his
Roman hosts the desired pledge, but
it seems to be contingent upon the
adherence of other governments.
Hungary, Jugo-Slavia and Germany
must sign, too, and here is the rub.
Hungary is afraid of surrenderins
certain rights if she subscribed; Jugo-
Slavia is not very friendly to Italy.
and Germany feels that her signature
to such pact would mean that she
would forever renounce all claims for
a revision of the Versailles peace
treaty.
One Part of Picture.
Laval and Mussolini maintain that
the Austrian security treaty-n ever
it does become a treaty-should COM
prise, also, Czecho-Slovakia. Rumania.
and Great Britain.
In other words this agreement d
considered one part of the vast pic
ture of treaty arrangements now IN
the making.
Readers of these weekly surveys
may recall that about two years asu
Mussolini and ]. Ramsay Macdonald.
British prime minister, perfected .
fOur-power treaty against war; Italy.
Great Britain, France and Germany
signed it.-Last summer French ara
Russian diplomats began laying the
foundation for chain of eastern
European security and mutuaI-sup-
port treaties, and only few days aee
it was learned that Great Britain may
propose, at the forthcoming League q
Nations Council session, an all-Euro-
pean mutual security treaty. Into
this perspective of international
agreements the Laval-Mussolini con-
versations about Austria fit very
neatly.
Still the question remains: Have
not the disastrous results of former
alliances and treaties taught the
world a measure of skepticism toward
such accords? Or, have things
changed so that even old-time dipIo-
macy is experiencing New Deaf?
The future will tell.

Annual Church Meeting.

The annual meeting of the local
Danish Lutheran congregation was
held in the church basement Monday
afternoon with over 60 members In
attendance. Annual reports were
read and accepted. The treasurer.
Arnold Sorensen, reported receipts of
$2,614.13 which included a loan of
5000. The disbursements were $2,601.-
81, leaving a balance on hand of
$12.22. Uast year there was a small
deficit). The disbursements include
$40 that has been paid off on the
5000 loan. Thus it will be seen that
the financial condition is quite favor
able. Mrs. Jens Nielsen was rendered
special thanks for a donation of 1915
which enabled the congregation to
pay Rev. Frost in full before he left.
1t was decided to call Johannes
Knudsen from Grand View College for
minister by an almost unanimous
vote. 1t was further decided to ask
Rev. Aage Miller Of Nysted, Nebr., to
come here and serve as minister until
can come. In the election of two
members to the church board Arnold
SOrensen was reelected for a three
year term as treasurer. Einar Jensen
refused reelection and in his place
Chr. Sorensen was chosen. There was
some discussion relative to the Ian
guage question.

mittee comes in. Then advocates OF
the bill have to try their case all over
again, going into the merits Of their
case before a group which are not
specialists in the subject, and gen.

time. The outlook is indeed discour-
aging.
A subcommittee of the House Mill

Feed PheaSantS.

T. N. Thomson has been taking an
active part for some time in making
arrangements to secure feed for
pheasants and other birds in this
community. Now the details are com
plete and the feed Is available. In
this connection Mr.. Thomson would
like to get in touch with those farm
ers and others who are interested in
preserving and feeding the birds, par
ticularly pheasants. With the pres
ent amount of snow on the ground
it is practically impossible for the
pheasants and other birds to get any
feed. so if any one is interested in
preserving this wild life then see Mr..
Thomson for further details.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW

to next Sundays plebiscite in the
Saar Basin.
AS a result of this plebiscite the
Saarlanders will either remain under
the League of Nations commission.
or will be ruled by the French gov
eminent, or will revert to Germany.
ALL observers now agree that a ma
jority will vote German, in spite of
the fact that serious dissensions have
broken out among the German Saar-
landers themselves; they are divided
into two groups, one which favors a
return to Germany without any quail
fications; and the other which also
wants to become German, but not as
long as Adolf Hitler remains the chief
executive of the German nation. Last
Sunday these two groups held stimuli
taneous mass meetings in the city of
Saarbruecken, and it is thought
plausible that when no serious fight
ing took place, it was largely due to
the cooling effect of a snowstorm
which providentially descended upon
the vast crowds.
League Authority.
Now, according to the terms of the
Versailles peace treaty, the plebis-
cite vote does not Immediately de-
eide the fate of Saar, for in Article
AZ it is specified that the purpose of
the plebiscite is ito make in due
time permanent provision for the gov
eminent of the Saar Basin in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the pop
ulation." So that, in the final analy-
sis, the decision rests with the
League.
In the Annex to the peace treaty
it is written:
eff for the whole or part of this
territory, the League decides in favor
of union with Germany, it will be the
duty Of the League of Nations to
cause the German government to be
re-established in the government of
the territory specified by the League"
This stipulation would appear to
give the League power to make dis
motions in various sections of Saar,
and since France is dominating fac
tor in the League, it practically
amounts to giving France the right
to survey the results of the plebiscite
and to decide whether Saar is to be
restored in whole or in part. There
in, of course, lie possibilities of con-
tinued Emergencies which may, how
ever, to some extent have been oblit
Grated by the Franco-German accord
of recent date.
Laval at Rome.
Abyssinia as we'll as the Saar pie
biscite were discussed at conferences
at Rome between French Foreign
Minister Pierre Laval and Italian
Prime Minister Benito Mussolini a
few days ago. But these problems
were of comparatively limited impor-
lance, for the future of Austria
formed the principal subject under
consideration.
Already Mussolini has conducted
negotiations with the responsible
members of the Austrian and the
