PARIS. June 13.-France will re-
ject a British proposal to reorganiZe
League of Nations members into
regional groups, authoritative sources
declared today, as destructive to the
entire structure of collective security.
Informed sources called the sug-
gestions, reported to have been made
orally by Sir George Clerk. British
Ambassador to Paris, to Premier Leon
Blum. impossible" because of the
districts" proposed.
Two Ideas in British Plan.
The British plan was reported to
have advanced two ideas
/. Cancellation of sanctions against
Italy on the ground the war penalties
failed to halt the conquest of Ethiopia
2. Revision of the League covenant
with particular emphasis on article 16
which provides obligatory application
of sanctions by all members when
voted
The French, sources close to the
foreign Office said, found little fault
with the first suggestion, but they
could not accept the second.
The regional sanctions groups which
would be set up in the covenant revls-
ion drew French objections, it was
said, because the suggestions created
these responsibilities:
Great Britain would guarantee as
Sistance only to France, Belgium,
Holland and Germany.
France, already tied to four ma
tions, would also be linked to Spain,
Italy and Switzerland in a second
regional agreement.
The proposal would align Russia
with the Balkans, Czechoslovakia and
Poland.
Free German Hand Feared.
Thus, the French declared, Great
Britain was allowed to escape from all
Eastern European responsibilities. CIV
ing Germany q free hand in the East
and depriving France of Russian aid,
which she has already certified by
the Franco-Soviet pact Of mutual as
sistance.
British sources denied the plan had
been officially presented to the French
governmentD
The French governments attitude
was represented as favoring the League
Council to adopt the initiative in push
ing speedy cancellation Of the italian
sanctions
Vigorous opposition, however, was
reported against any move toward
weakening the League or imperiling
Frances existing alliances.

THREAT OF HOPPER
INVASION SHOULD Be
OFfSE1IMMED|AlELY
Dagmar Man Suggests Early
Plans to Get Hopper
Poison

Commercial clubs, farm groups
and individuals in Sheridan county
should take necessary steps immedi-
ately to see that grasshopper poison
is available this spring to combat an
expected hopper invasion" writes Co
MUS Laursen, of Dagmar, this week
to The Herald.
Mr.. Laursen said that 81 think we
all realize that unless free grasshop-
per poison is available this spring we
Will have a very small chance of har-
vesting a crop this year. The grass
hoppers will quite suerly beat us to
it, and unless we explain the situa-
ton to u representatives in Wash
ington there will be little chance tc
get it."
MIR Laursen suggested in the letter
to The Herald that individuals, farm
organization and commercial clubs
make it their business to put pres
sure on representatives to secure the
poison.
1T is not only Sheridan county that
is infested with the pests" he said,
but many other counties are in the
same danger of having their crops de-
stroyed unless something is done"
The time to do this is right now and
not when the hoppers are eating the
crops.
1t is Mr.. Laursen's suggestion that
a work project be made out of spread
ing the poison. He said that there
would be plenty of people again this
summer who will need relief in some
form or another and he believes such
a project, giving employment to peo-
pie by battling grasshoppers would
be feasible.
Mr.. Laursen said there is no doubt
but that grasshoppers last year did
damage for a much greater value than
all the relief that will be got during
the crop year."

over new ROUTE

M. c. Locke, resident engineer of
the state highway commission from
Wolf Point, and c. D. Short Of Port
land, Oregon, with the federal bureau
of roads were here Saturday in con-
nection with routing of the proposed
road to Westby. The engineers met
with a committee of the Plentywood
commercial club.
Due to heavy snow and practically
impossible travelling conditions
on the Blue Trail the two engineers
did not have much of an opportunity
to see OF travel on Sheridan county's
"celebratedv trail over the hills to
Westby. Drifts practically block the
road.
Nothing definite has been revealed
as to the routing of the road; however
it has been learned here that a plan
is now being considered whereby the
highway would be built from a juno
ton on the highway to Culbertson at
a point near the fair grounds east of
Plentywood, thence north to the pla-
teau and continuing on a straight line
for about Is miles, thence a north
easterly direction to Westby, connect
ing with North Dakota's improved
highway running east.

COLD WAVE SWEEPS
SECTION; MERCURY
HITS Low LEVELS
Concern Is Felt For Range
Stock AS Storm, Cold
Wave Continue

Biting cold and snow furries on the
wings of chilling north winds has held
Sheridan county and all of northeast
ern Montana in its grip the past week
and with it came blocked roads and
but little hope for a general rise in
temperature for several days.
Snow squalls continued through
Wednesday. Thermometers have hung
below the zero mark for more than a
week. Sunday found the mercury
skidding to a new low for the year
when early that morning the bulb
dropped the fluid to SO below the zero
mark. Sheridan county shuddered I'M
der the cold snap. Traffic was practi-
cally at a stand still. Monday parts
of northeastern Montana, south, re-
ported rising temperatures with fresh
ly fallen SHOWS melting from the caves
of buildings. But not for Sheridan
county-the mercury hung below the
zero mark and Monday night snow
fell that early Tuesday morning was
turned into a raging blizzard when a
bowling gale swept from the north.
Many Roads Blocked
Roads with the exception of the
highway to Culbertson are covered
with drifts which make travelling diff
icult. Side roads are practically
booked. Travellers from Redstone
coming to Plentywood Wednesday re-
ported that loose snow was drifting
and another good blow would block
the road which has for the past week
been but a trail.
All of the county is blanketed with
snow. Anxiety is felt for range cattle
and horses in the event that the cold
wave continues. Deep snow has made
it hard for range stock to grub.
Sheepmen stated hat their focks
are standing up under the cold snap
well. The continued low temperature
is lard on sheep, they say, but with
ample feed they withstand the on
slaught without much difficulty.
Sheepmen report that they were
forced to start feeding much earlier
this year, many ranchers feeding their
hocks more than a month sooner than
usual. There is enough feed on the
average sheep ranch to weather hocks
over until the first Of March.
1t is believed that some losses o.
range stock will occur; however, nc
losses as yet have been reported.
Northeastern Montana is not alone
in the wake of the wintry blasts. Ra-
dio reports from eastern points We'd
