crlcan diplomats do - tomorrow S
session OF the Locarno powers in
London nevertheless likely will set
the course of European diplomacy
Tor many months. And in these
discussions England again acts its
traditional role of the balance of
power.
Diplomats, surveying the Euro
pean chess game effectively, see
the players and their aims thus:
Germany-Hitler sincerely wants
TO maintain peace with western
Europe-eyen its old enemy. France,
In order to free itself for conquests
IN the East. particularly against
Russia. Germany is willing to re-
enter the league of nations, but
only as free and independent
state.
French Alarmed
France-the French are alarmed
now by the rise of vigorous we'll
armed Nazi state which appears
capable of conquering French ter
ritory. Hence Paris is summonng
its cosignatories of the Versailles
and Locarno pacts, England and
Italy, as well as its new ally, Soviet
Russia, to enforce the treaties Ger
many violated when it sent troops
into the Rhineland.
Italy-Il Duce CMussolinD now
is engaged in struggle to conquer
Ethiopia and place Italy firmly in
the position of a first-rank Euro
pean power. His position is COM
plicated by Dual Fealty to both
Germany and France. To the for
mer he is emotionally friendly be-
cause of the similarity of FaScism
and NaziSm, but Hitler wants Au-
stria while Italy insists on its in
dependence. AT the same time,
MuSSolini feels a debt of gratitude
toward France for allowing it, de-
spite diplomatic Recommendations
free hand in North Africa. So
Italy is queStion-mark.
Great Britain-The diplomatists
of London say their principal de
sire is for peace in Europe. Eng
land today is the ranks of the So
called status quo nations; in
other words, Britain gained its ter
ritories in the last century, lost
none of them in the war and sees
no reason why the world set-up
should be changed.
Leans tn France
Great Britain would be inclined
to support France for two reasons:
l. Because its position is in defense
of treaties, law and order lin other
words, the status quo,2a;- 2s;Be-
cause London would never allow
Germany, country more power
full than France, to dominate the
coast just across the narrow Eng
liSh channel
On the other hand, England does
not desire to adopt too strong a
policy toward Hitler's Reich, be-
|. 1t still regards Germany |
as a bulwark between Europe and |
Russian Communism. 2. 1t has be- |
lieved in recent years that the terms |
Imperial Valley press., 1936-03-12

of the Versailles treaty were too
rigorous. 3. 1t believes the con-
solidation of European peace de-
pends on Germany's cooperation
and does not want to isolate the
Reich automatically.
Britains only desire-haying ac-
uuired what it wants-is to keep
the peace in Europe. Thus 1t is IN
a position to speak Independently
and throw its weight where it Will
That is why American diplomats
are extremely interested in the pos

POWER PROFIT

INDEBTEDNESS

Bonded Indebtedness paid OIL
18 months before finally due; IN
creases in customers and service year
after year with great savings TO
these customers and several I'M
provements added to the power plant
without the necessity of calling Tor
a further bond election are but
part of the record set by the Pop
lar Bluffs, Mo, publicly owned ana
operated power system according to
information contained in recent
bulletin.
Citizens of this city inaugurated
their own power system in 1919
serving 200 customers at that time.
Today this original plant has been
enlarged to serve 200 consumers
with prospects of further additions
both to the existing system and the
number of customers.
Immediately after the plant was
put in operation power rates were
lowered with other reductions grant
ed from time to time until now the
cost of electricity is only one third
of what it was in 1915. The bulle-
tin states further that this low price
of electricity has encouraged more
general use of the city service and
also of electrical appliances for
home and work purposes.
With each reduction in rates and
increase of business a surplus is set
up for the citizens of Poplar Bluffs
and with the complete liquidation of
the original debt, the profits from
the plant will now be turned over
to the city to be used towards low
ering taxes and also for other need
ed civic improvements.
The operation of the Imperial II
rigation Districts proposed power
program will have advantages very
similar to these for residents of the
district.

at $500 a month during trips he
made to Europe and Mexico.
In the former suits, settled out
