SPEEDS RUSSIAN
MILITARY AID TREATY WITH
LEADERS SPLIT ON WAR PLAN
Cabinet Would Strike Now
With preventive War;;
Military Sees No Cause
For Alarm

PARIS, March ~. UP)-
France made its first reply today
to Nazi Germany and its Rhine
land NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for
lightning ratification of a treaty
than will bring 100000 Russian
soldiers, the worlds greatest
army, to her aid, if Germany at
tacks.
This French Russian military
alliance was the excuse for Adolf
Hitler's occupation Of the Rhine
land.
In answer, senators assembled
this afternoon to jam the ratifi-
cation through tonight as a SYM
Dol of national unity by an al
most unanimous vote if not COM
plete unanimity. The Chamber al
ready has ratified.
There was no indication any
where that the country was not
solidly behind the cabinet in de-
handing firm action against Ger,
many.
1t was learned that the high
military commission met yester-
day in secret under the presiden-
cy OF Premier Albert Surraut to
discuss aerial defense.
Reports indicated that the sud
den. switch of British cabinet SELL
timent in favor of the French
stand',was due to the receipt of
information that Germany was
assembling large forces through
out the Rhineland and that some
incident might start 81 fight.
-Four influential cabinet men,
bers-Premier Sarraut, Foreign
Minister Pierre Etienna Flandin,
Minister of State Joseph Paul
Boncour and Minister of Com
munications Georges Mandel-
were said today to be ready to
go to war with Germany unless a
satisfactory solution of the Rhine
land crisis could be reached. They
were in a minority, however, in
the Cabinet and the Chamber,
where most of the preventive
war" sentiment was confined to
the communists and left wing rid
icals.
However, the general staff,
which invitably will have the last
say, repeatedly is opposed to war,
feeling that France has nothing
to fear from Germany. Well-in-
formed neutral circles believe the
nation will heed the general staff
and seek to avoid war despit the
menace of German arms in the
Rhineland.

CUFFEY COAL
ACT ASSAILED
Wood of New York Argues
It's Way to Complete
Paternalism"

WASHINGTON, March ~.
(UP)-Frederick II. Wood, New
York attorney, who argued sue
cessfully to have the NRA de-
clared unconstitutional, denounc-
ed the Guffey coal control act
yesterday before; the Supreme
Court as the first step toward
planned economy and complete
paternalism."
Wood attacked both the re-
quirements designed to regulate
competition in the coal industry
and the wage, hour and collective
bargaining provisions, enacted to
improve mining labor conditions.
"If the Governments argu-
ments were TO- be accepted"
Wood said, "Then Congress be-
comes the guardian Of all indus
try and the sole judge of the
time and circumstances under
which it may assume such guar
dianship over particular industries
one by one."
He said, that coal was no more
a national necessity than many
other articles such as wheat,
corn, cattle, iron, oil and salt.
"lf the argument advanced in
support of the present statute be
accepted, planned economy and
complete paternalism in respect
to all economic activities await
only an act or series of acts by
Congress to be made reflective"
Wood contended.
His arguments were based on
the same, contentious he used
