It cost the Plan- ning Commission $1,600. but the fact that the District’s mistake did not cost it more was undoubtedly due to the fact that the services of a “straw man” were used to get the land cheaply After the construction work had been completed some one in the District dis- covered that it affected this one lot of private ground. But the District had no money with which to make the pur- | to correct the difficulty, and the | age had been done. Park Commission’s Aid Sought. i The Park Commission officials were cha: dam ‘appealed to, and they decided to buy the land for “plavground” purposes and | transfer it to the District.

PARIS, January ' 30.—Certain im- rialistic elements in Great Britain are casting serious obstacles in the way of an Italo-French understanding, on which Foreign Minister Briand has set his heart and to which Dictator Mus- solini has lent a not unwilling ear. ‘The visit to Rome of Foreign Minis- ter Titulescu of Rumania is made the occasion in the London Daily Mail for a hint that Italy is weaning Rumania away from the French and setting up “an entirely new orientation of Balkan powers,” with the suggestion that Italy will henceforth take France's place in Rumania’s sympathies. No more dangerous suggestion could be made at this time. Although it is partly true that Rumania and France have not been so close together since ———— Lansburgh & Bro. the death of Premier Bratiano, never- theless Rumania remains heavily in- debted to France and has been striving in the past few years to negotiate new loans in France, which undoubtedly will be granted as soon as the Ruman- ian government makes a serious attempt to pay the interest and sinking fund charges on the old ones. Ttaly—unless alded by Great Britain— is certainly not in ition to finance Rumania_and therefore any advances in that direction would be interpreted as a deliberate attempt to retard prog- ress of European peace. Another dangerous inference which arises from this campaign is that there is apparently an attempt to persuade Ru) ia that Italy is ready to back Rummania’s possession of Bessarabia, against the assumption that France will favor restitution of that territory to Russla. Certainly many Frenchmen re- gret vtumania’s unwieldy expansion, Tearing that Bessarabia will prove a bone of contention in the future, but the French government steadfastly has insisted on respect for treaties, and will certainly not risk raising such a momentous question as a new frontier between Russian and Rumania. ‘The impression here is that the Dail: ALANCE FRINGE v 8 in., good quality. $1 _00 An Unusual Value, Yd....... wnlting Decorator ) Main 3211 Retail Mail, as leader of the British imperialist press, has simply started another dis- rupting campaign on the continent, as it did a few months ago in proposing enlarging the Hungarian frontiers with the dual purpose of fostering division among the continental powers and in- fluencing the British elections. Ihe paper has not yet chosen the party it will support and apparently has raised the issue for the purpose of forc- ing both Conservative and Liberal parties to take an anti-French stand. The old game of using weak Balkan powers as pawns in promoting discord and friction between the great powers of the continent apparently is not _out- worn. But confidence exists in Paris that M. Briand and Foreign Minister Stresemann of Germany will succeed in | outwitting this latest move. i Auditorium For Rent Ideal for Dances, Banquets, Enter- tainments, Bridge Parties, Concerts, eddings, Commencements, Con. ventions, Lectures, etc. Well heated and fine ventilation.
