Secret Agreements
With France Are Re-

Negotiations Begin.

Bucharest, Feb. 27.-(AP)-Threc
secret agreements whereby France
will supply Rumania with large
quantities OF war planes, machine
guns and other ornaments were re-
ported today.
Signing Of the contract was re-
ported unofficially as a Rumanl&n
finance commission returned from
Paris.
Britain already has flown GO war
planes 10 this country.
The French and British action
was described as following upon re-
ccipt of assurances that Germany
would not be favored in exports OF
Rumanian oil.
Meanwhile, Italian negotiators be-
gan conferences which observers
believed might develop into a Bal
kan economic contest with Ger
many.
Most informed circles held the
belief that Italy was seeking TO
nudge out Germany and resell RU-
manian good; in world circles ior
cold.
At the same time French and
British quarters declared that Ru-
mania must remain 'on her good
behavior" Of there may be a reDet!-
ton Of their action Of January when
they stopped all raw material cN-
ports 70 this country becau.c Ru-

Fish Opposes
Bank Increase

Washington, Feb. 27.-(AP)-Al-
though favoring a S20,O00,OOO loan to
Finland, Representative Fish, Re-
publican. New York, objected IN the
House today to providing d SlOO,OOO,-
coo increase in EXpOrt-Import bank
capital in order to make it possible.
He argued that the S8O,OOO,OOO
difference between the increase and
the proposed Finnish loan would
permit the bank to lend to nations
other than Finland and thus give 1t
a voice in foreign policy despite Its
position as a subordinate agency
of the government.
I'm not sure, he told the House
that the American people want
Congress to surrender its powers and
delegate subordinate agency the
authority to make indiscriminate
loans to foreign governments and
possibly involve us in war"
Administration leaders predicted a
bill to give the bank the Increase
already approved by the Senate
would win House passage by the
end Of the days session.

Washington, Feb. 27.-(AP)-Thc
House appropriations committee,
Whacking away with its economy
axe, turned thumbs down today on
President RooSeveltS request for
Immediate appropriation of Si5,000,-
900 to start third set Of Panama
Canal locks.
Instead, the committee rec
commended IN S350,O0O fund for pre-
pairing plans for the locks, asserting
that lin the absence of such plans
and specifications the ultimate cost
must largely be coniecturaT.
The committee also followed up
the Houses recent action in re-
tuSing to appropriate S1,0O0,000 for
a harbor project at Guam in the
mid-Pacific by rejecting a 100000
request for dredging the channel at
Wake Island, on the route from
Hawaii to Guam.
1T feels constrained" the COM
ntittee said, ito view the proposed
Wake harb0r improvement as part
Of a projected naval Seaplane base
there, estimates for which have
been passed over twice by the
House.
Both the Panama Canal and Wake
items were part Of S203,472, 567
appropriation bill for the War de-
partment'S civil functions. The COM
mittee reported the measure TO the
