The State Department has just dis
closed how France rejected a German
proposal, made in 1922, that European
powers agree to take a popular vote
before going to war.
The scheme would have operated for
80 years. Had it been adopted. it
would be in effect during the present
European crisis
Although failure of the proposal
was announced at the time. its de-
tails are contained in hitherto secret
documents being published in the reg
ular 15-year-old reports of the State
Department.
Germany proposed that the United
States initiate conversations about
such an agreement. Under it. France,
Great Britain, Italy and Germany
would promise Washington not to re-
sort to war against each other without
plebiscite.
Charles Evans Hughes, then Secre-
tary Of State, decided to submit the
idea first to the French. He con-
sidered it unwise to approach other
governments unless France treated the
proposal seriously.
The formal French objection was
that her constitution gave to Parlia-
ment the duty of making war. and
acceptance of the German proposal
would require a constitutional change.

ITALY IS READY
TO AID GERMANY
Granting of Autonomy Is
Hoped For to Avoid
Armed Conflict.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ROME, Sept. 9.-Italy stood ready
today 'for any eventualities" as she
watched allied Germany's maneuvers
on behalf OF the Sudeten German mi
nority in Czechoslovakia.
With the whole Fascist state organ
lied along semi-military lines, special
mobilization is not needed to be pre-
pared for action.
The controlled press displayed prom
tnently in the authoritative Informa-
none Diplomatica that the italian in
ternal mechanism" guaranteed the
country's readiness.
Autonomy Hoped For.
At the same time the hope was ex-
pressed in Fascist circles that Czecho-
slovakia would grant autonomy to the
6udeten Germans and avoid armed
conflict.
The 1nformazione Diplomatica, to
which diplomats attribute the impor-
tance Of a government communique,
advised the Czechs to take realistic
view Of things and forestall very
grave crisis"
How far Italy would 60 with Ger
many IN case of a showdown, how
ever, was not made any more clear
than IN the past. The semi -offlcial
statement limited itself to declaring
1taly's moral support for the Sudeten
German demands and reaff1rming the
diplomatic solidarity Of the Rome
Berlin axis.
Specifically, it said Premier Musso-
hni and Chancellor Hitler had decided
on their Czechoslovak policy during
Hitler's visit to Rome in May, 1888
but no official account of that agree
ment has mentioned what Italy's role
would be should war result.
Free Hand Declared Promised,
German sources asserted, when Hit
Ter was here, that Mussolini promised
him free hand in Czechoslovakia
but expressed the hope Germany would
solve the problem "on her own
strength"
The statement last night indicated
Rome was ready "to face Immediately
any eventualities," but said Italy re-
Trained from military action like call
ing reserves in the belief an agree
ment in Czechoslovakia was possible.
Vlrglnlo Gayda, an authoritative
editor, declared in "a hours the sit
mtion has been overturned" and
blamed the Czechs for deliberate or
unrestrained exasperations of open
injury" which he said Germany would
not suffer indefinitely.

amazing, as it requires but two feet
OF film for each picture.
This, Of course, Is in marked
contrast to the motion picture
camera which requires 80 or
more feet Of Aim.
Numerous other advantages add to
the usefulness OF this unusal camera,
as no dark room is required; just one
operator is necessary: hoof print
shadows do not appear on the Aim.
eliminating all danger of confusion
regarding outline; the film is not
touched by human hand until 1t
reaches the judges: and the makers
of the camera guarantee to place
finished picture in the hands of the
judges in slightly less than one minute
after the race is finished.
Time Is Registered.
Far ahead Of most devices used to
photograph finishes at race tracks, the
versatility of the photo chart again
is demonstrated, in that the time made
by every horse is recorded on the film.
Thus. when the developed film goes
to the judges. the time Of each and
every horse in the race plainly is
visible. No longer is the winners time
the only running time recorded in
each race.
Now the photo chart camera
tells you the actual official run
ming time Of every horse, no
matter how far back it finishes.
With several photo chart cameras
set up at the correct posts around
a race track. it will be possible to
tell the exact position of every horse
in the race at any time 1t will show
the actual running time of every
horse in the race, not only at the
finish, but at all calls as well. And
there will be no guesswork involved.
The pictures will not lie. 1t is sure
to revolutionize chart-making and
handicapping, and as it promises more
winners for the race fans, I am for
1t, hook. line and sinker.
