This Changing World
Frances Appeal to Washington for Smaller Battle
ships Erects Bargain Counter to Stop
Britain's Deal With Germany.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

'to saDe the essential points OF the
Locarno Treaty" in the euent OF
remilitarisation of the Rhine.
This sounded bad in Paris. Such an
arrangement quietly reached between
Germany and Great Britain would
have the same effect as the British
German naval pact of last year.
Erect Bargain Counter.
Last time the French had been
caught mapping. Now they decided
to raise Cain. Thus, when the British
with a nonchalant air suggested, then
insisted, that the Germans should be
brought into the naval conference, the
French said no.
Then they said they would yield
in exchange for another guarantee
pact on the part Of Great Britain
guarantee pact with real teeth in 1t.
Among other things, France wanted
definite restriction of Germany's air
force and reiteration of the previous
pledge of Baldwin that the British air
force would rush to Frances rescue in
case of trouble with the Reich.
Suspicious Confirmed.
The British government is less in
clined to enter into such a pledge to-
day than it was year ago. The Laval
government, it is said in London, sup
ported only half-heartedly the British
policies at the League OF Nations dur
mo the last few months,
And the confirmation OF such
lack of support came from the new

The surprising appeal of the French
Government to Washington for a re-
duction in the size of battleships was
not as surprising as all that.
It is considered a skillful diplomatic
maneuver on the part of the French
government to embarrass the British.
In the last two weeks. the atmos-
phere at the London Naval Confer
ence has become heavy. Politics were
instilled in the peaceful conversations
of the delegates. And these politics
were instilled by the French merely
because they wanted to liven up dull
conference,

in whatever measures we decide to

is dangerous, even If we are right"
Drifting Leads to War.
"Then, If we leave matters alone
and permit them to drift, you feel
that we shall be drifting toward a
whirlpool of WARP"
IT know it," he answered There
is no doubt of it. Our problem is to
act in the light of it, before it Is too
late. If we leave things in complete
confusion, where they are, we can
be stampeded almost any day into de-
tense of an obscure phrase. like the
freedom of the seas which nobody
defines, and which may cover a world
of sin. But, If we choose wisely
to narrow the sphere of prob
able conflict and certain controver-
sy, by renouncing the right and pro-
lection of American exporters to do a
profitable business with belligerents
in war materials, like cotton and
chemicals, iron and oil, we may invite
trouble and even business depression
and certain opposition from the ship
ping and exporting interests Of the
country-from the same interests who
opposed jefferson a century ago and
who finally forced him to repeal his
courageous embargo on American
shipping, in order to avoid loss and
conflict with the European belliger-
ents Of that day"
"And shortly after the repeal Of
Jefferson's famous embargo, we were
plunged into war with Great Brit
ain-the War of 1872" pointed out.
"The shipping interests preferred
war to starvation, and would do SO
again." he replied. THAT is the
second horn of our dilemma"
and the problem of craftsmanship
is to find possible and constructive
way between the two, Is it not?"
Trade Quota Decided on.
"1t is" he replied. THAT is why
we of the Munitions Committee, after
giving great deal of thought and
study to it, have come to the con-
clusion that the proper course to adopt
now, for many reasons, is to restrict
American export trade in war ma
terials, in the event of foreign war,
to normal, peacetime proportions, to a
quota fixed on the basis of the average
export trade in every commodity, over
a period Of five years preceding the
outbreak of hostilities."
What would that accomplish"
cit would notify the world that
America will no longer permit itself
to become basis Of supplies for bel
ligerency, and especially for aggressors.
It will renounce the illegitimate profit
eering that has been tolerated by
neutral governments in the past in
the name of neutrality, and so make
the protection of peaceful trade, in nor
NAL amounts, more just and feasible.
1t is a new principle and doctrine
of neutral behavior that makes for a
better ordered world. And it would at
least give some support to the present
agency of the world community in its
attempts to restrain and defeat Fan
aggressor, by assuring it that the
United States will not assist him to
defy the collective effort of the ma
tons at Geneva. That is why I, for
one, am for it,

A determined effort for anti-war.
profits legislation and stricter neu-
trality law was begun today after the
Senate's munitions investigators Off.
cially closed their two-year inquiry.
The long investigation ended yester-
day in a calm that contrasted with
conflicts that have marked its course
and the worldwide reverberations
caused by its hearings.
The final disclosure was letter by
James p. Murray, representative of
Boeing Aircraft Co., to another air Of

Democratic national committeeman,

tical Chamber of Commerce because Of

Reports to Be Submitted.
Chairman Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, of the Munitions Committee
said today the group would submit re-
ports designed to speed legislation to
curb future war profits and insure
American neutrality.
Although the present neutrality law
is hailed as the Munitions Committees
greatest achievement, Nye and some of
his colleagues are far from satisfied
with it. They want to broaden its
scope to include embargoes prevent
ing shipment of commodities of all
kinds to belligerents. Only munitions
and arms are now enlarged.
Despite the legislative achievement
there is warm difference of opinion
over the Importance Of the commit
tees findings.
Disclosures Of Value.
It's friends contend it has written
history by disclosing causes of Amer
lean entry into the World War, in
trigue and corruption in the munitions
industry, and huge profits during the
last war.
Critics assert the committee has
distorted history, failed to prove its
case against munitions makers, and
chiefly has been an agency for pub
licity.
The warmest conflict is over the
committees claim that its evidence
showed America was drawn into the
World War by trade relations with
the allies. Critics assert the United
States would have entered the war
regardless of the trade.
There is no dispute, however. that
the committees hearings created a
world wide stir. They quickly in.
spired a similar inquiry in Great
Britain. Stories of graft and cor
ruption in munitions sales echoed in
foreign capitals.
