ton & taxation last week, Henry Ford's
profits for 1885 seemed to have
been So, $4,000. drop of nearly 500 from
the year before This was sharp sur
prize to Ford rooters. Last year Ford not
only outsold Chevrolet for the first time
since 1881 but registered 1870 gain over
1884 in the number of cars produced. AS
a whole the automobile industry gained
only 3226. yet profits as a whole were up
about 1850 Fords 1885 output Of J.
1913 600 units was only 1870 under 1880
yetr in which Indicated Ford profits
were $44,00J,000.
1t was possible, though unlikely, that
the Ford family drew down enough divi-
dends to hide the real profit figure AS
the rich go. the Fords can hardly be call
ed spenders. Wages and other operating
expenses were higher last year than in 1884
but the tremendous rise IN volume should
have more than offset increase costs. Hen
ry Ford's explanation, were he ever to give
one, would probably be that he is not in
terested in profits, only in cars.

This statement was greeted with
cheers by the members.
There can be no one in this
house or this country" said the
foreign secretary, who would wish
to condone or excuse such a step.
"1t strikes a severe blow at the
principle of the sanctity of treaties
which underlies the whole structure
of international relations"
At the same time that he declared
this warning, Eden indicated that
Great Britain was willing to consider
Reichsfuhrer Hitler's proposals for
new peace covenants.
He said Great Britain would ex-
anime them lear-sightedly and OBJ
jectively to determine their merits.
He declared: One of the impor-
tant foundations of the peace of West
ern Europe has been cut away, and
If peace is to be secured, there Is o
manifest duty to rebuild.
at is in that spirit that we must
approach the new proposals of the
German chancellor.
His majesty's government will ex-
anime them r-sightedly and OBJ
jectively with view to finding out to
what extent they represent the means
by which the structure Of peace can
again be strengthened.
I'm the present grave condition of
international affairs, his majesty's
government feel that no opportunity
must be missed which offers any hope
of amelioration.

WAR UNLIKELY, BORAH SAYS.

BY the Associated Press.
While official quarters maintained
silence today on the European crisis,
there were indications some shared the
belief of Senator Borah, Republican
Of Idaho. that Germany's abrogation
of military restrictions docs not
mean war"
Borah. former chairman of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee and
now its ranking Republican member,
voiced an opinion that the Versailles
treaty had to end.
Il do not believe we should put the
war aspect on the moves of Ger
many" he said. "Of course, no one
would wish to prophesy either way
as to the result. But I have strong
feeling it does not mean war.
THE Versailles treaty had to 20.
The status quo had to have an end
under that treaty. That has been ap-
parent for long time"
officials said talk in Paris yes
terday between Foreign Minister
Pierre -Etienne Flandin and United
States Ambassador Jesse 1. Straus was
not significant. 1t is the usual pro-
cedure for foreign diplomats seeking
official information for their home
governments.

BELGIUM SENDS PROTEST.

GENEVA, March LP.-Belgium
joined France in an appeal to the
League of Nations Council today
against Germany's violation of the Lo-
carno pact by military occupation of
the Rhineland. bordering on both
France and Belgium.
League officials said the Belgian
appeal, which arrived today. was
along the same lines as that from
France last night, calling for a coun-
Gil session as soon as possible, to deal
with the crisis so suddenly precipi-
tated.
A council session was called for
Friday. and officials said Germany
and Belgium, as parties to the dispute,
would be invited to take seats about
the council table when the accusation
against Germany was examined.
Armies on the move on two con-
tinents brought the League face to
