REPUBLICAN TICKET
REPORTED DECIDED
Newspaper Says Landon

NEW YORK, February 4.-The New
York Times, in dispatch from Phila-
delphia, says the Republican ticket
this year will be Landon and Wads-
worth. If the plans OF some Eastern
Republicans who met in the Pennsyl-
yania city last week are fulfilled.
Their program. the Times says. is to
send unlnstructed delegations to
Cleveland ano divert their strength to
the Kansas Governor and to James w.
Wadswolt tn. former Senator from New
York, and now member of the House
OF Representatives.
WadsWorth's friends at this confer
ence expressed the willingness of the
upstate Republican leader to accept
second plare on the ticket. The Times
did lot say who attended the Phila-
delphia conference. but said that lead
ers in Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey and Massachusetts, ARE veer-
ing to the Kansas Governor"
WadsWorth, the Times says, lis
much desired, not only by the East, but
also by supporters of Gov. Landon.
His particular value to the ticket
would be to neutralize the fact that
Gov. Landon represents an intensely
dry State, since Mr.. Wadsworth was
one of the consistent Wets-so much SO
that he went down to defeat as can
didate for reelection to the Senate
rather than suppress his demand for
repeal of the eighteenth amendment" /"

PARIS, February 4.-France and
Great Britain were semi officially
stated today to want the League Of
Nations to authorize preventative
mobilization" and to define an aggres-
sor as two additional means of pre-
venting war.
These teeth" we're said to have beer
proposed by the chiefs of State In
London and Paris negotiations with
favorable results but with the program
still somewhat indefinite.
Preventative mobilization" would
be legalized under certain circum.
stances. 1t would. for example, per.
nit a French concentration on ths
border If German attack were fore.
seen.
The semi-official source stated thai
the revamping Of article XVI Of tn,
Covenant Of the League would EN-
power a member to mobilize to NEE
threat without the act being con.
sidered provocative.
A new definition for aggreSsor alst
is sought to avoid controversies sucf
as the contention of Premier Mussolin
of Italy that he really is defending tn,
frontiers of Italian colonies with .
punitive expedition against border
raiders.
Foreign Minister Pierre-Etienn,
Flandin extended his soundings on 9
united front against Germany today
to two influential princes of Eastern
Europe-Ernst Won Starhemberg o
Austria and Paul of Yugoslavia.
Informed sources said the foreign
minister's talks with the Austrian
vice chancellor and the Yugoslav re
gent centered on attempts to preven
Adolf Hitler's reinforced army from
extending its sway beyond Germany
especially toward Austria.
With the project for restoration
of the Hapsburg dynasty to Austri,
apparently ruled out, some diplomat
were said to be urging conclusion
of a Danubian pact as the best solu
ton to Eastern European problems
Some reliable sources, however, salt
proposals for a Danubian pact wouls
be withheld until Italy, one of tn
key nations for such framework, coult
turn its attention from East Afric,
once more to Europe.
Flandin already has conferred with
King Boris of Bulgaria and the for
eign ministers Of Turkey, Lithuanii
and Albania among the many notable

dent that wages and dividend pay

then we have q trend with greater

goes almost 100 per. cent directly
