HELD MISDIRECTED Norris Is Not Rated Real Fac- { tor—Pinchot and Prohibi« .. tion Put Ahead. BY MARK SULLIVAN, Readers distant from Washington will have a less- céurate picture un- less Y.hsy -prply a large discount to the ency and violence of the explosions about Senator Noi and Mr. Lucas and to the size of the headlines with which the detonations are recorded. The truth is Washington is not excited. ‘When the echoes of the battle at peints distant from Washington caused a New York City pmmgr of philoso- phy, John Dewe; vite Senator Norris to form a third party, that par- ticular repercussion impressed Wash- ington as political zero.

BY REGINALD WRIGHT KAUFFMAN By Radio to The Star. GENEVA, December 27.—The custom of observing Christmas holidays promises to provide a religious factor in the otherwise political problem of - fixing a date for the projected world dis- armament conference. This problem must be considered at the next session of the Council of the League of Nations, which will begin on January 9, and al- though the influence of mose of its fac- tors will be exerted very largely behind the scenes, the religious aspect of the question probably will be discussed, so to speak, from the open stage. It is generally granted that the gov- emment intending to be represented at the conference ought to have at least nine months for preparation and docu- mentary study before they meet. Thus, if the Council decides upon the most immediate action possible, the date ‘would fall well w'l.l'd next November, as advocated < |states”deteate m Wwhatever, excepting the ly from New Senator Norris head of a third party.

In view of steps now being taken to provide more stringent regulation of the billboard industry in the District of Columbia, attention was called by the American Civic Association today to the recent decision of the Indiana Su- preme Court on the Indianapolis ordi- nance restricting billboard as being of vital significance. Rec:‘:nl.ung the evolution in law to the point that the esthetic factor may now be regarded as of primary im- portance, the Indiana Supreme Court in its decision upheld the right of the city to prohibit the location or mainte- nance of any billboard structure, or the leasing of any premises for the purpose, within 500 tiet of any park, parkway or boulevard &nd dh’ecnng that all such existing structures within the city be removed. This ordinance, passed some years ago, was attacked by the General Out- door Advertising Co. in the lower courts and carried before the Supreme Court of the State. According to the decision the ordinance is a proper ex- ercise of police power, but it may not be enforced against then lawfully ex- isting boards unless and until compen- sation is provided for them in accord- ance with the terms of the same legis- lation that authorizes the prohibition. Called Vital Decision. It is regarded that this decision is of importance to all interested in zoning, city planning and general esthetics of the outdoors. It is pointed out that “general welfare” is now ex- tended to cover “public property, con= venience and prosperity.” Further, the decision was saild to make a definite shift in emphasis from the attitude that esthetic considerations are auxil- iary to one where they are far from subordinate in importance. By the Indiana decisiun. it is brought out, a new emphasis is given to the srzument that billboards are in a class by themselves and may be dealt with as such, without & too nice regard for the inclusion of other businesses in the regulation. It is, therefore, distinctly counter to the wishes and doctrine of billboard interests. The decision also is regarded as sig- nificant that the Indiana case holds that_the ordinance is in accord with the Federal Constitution as well as that of the State. Judge Clarence R. Mar- tin, who rendered the decision of the court, said, in part: Sight Not To Be Offended. “Under a liberalized construction of the general welfare purposes of State and Federal constitutions there is a trend in the modern decisions (which we approve) to foster, under the police power, an esthetic and cultural side of municipal development—to prevent a thing that offends the sense of sight in the same maner as a thing offends the sense of hearing and smelling.” ‘The decision further points out that “whether an advertising billboard is a disfigurement or a desirable addition to a community depends upon the charac- ter of the surroundings in the community as well as upon the billboard advertis- the | ing itself. But the determination of such a question and the determination of what regulation or what prohibitions within certain areas there shall be of billboards under the police power is— subject to the limitations hereinbefore a.nua——mr the legislative body of the ity. “As soclal relations become lex, restrictions on indlvidull hu e more common. which years ago would have been dnmed intolerable and in violation of the prop- erty owners’ constitutional rights are now desirable and necessary, and zon- ing ordinances fair in their requirements . | are usually sustained. Validity of Zoning Law. “A soning law and ordinances enacted thereunder have been in effect in this State and in municipalities thereof for - | eight or nine years, and their consti- tutional validity has never been ques- tioned in this court. Under laws and of this character many regulations and limitations of tural design and property use have been upheld which bear no closer, relation to- the public safety, healt. morals and general welfare, or public com- fort, convenience and prosperity (which latter terms are also included in the recent cases) than does the ordinance concerning billboards in the instant case.” ‘The District Commissioners at present are mar] time on the billboard sit- uation. It is doubtful if they will give any further consideration to the pend- ing regulatory bill until Maj. John C. Gotwals, Engineer Commissioner, ren- to the board. . Grant, 3d, director of the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds, it is understood, has not been consulted about the proposed legislation since last Spring, when he made cer- tain recommendations. Some of these were incorporated in the amendments now being proposed. Col. Grant was in favor of the bill stipulating that public hearings be held on any regulations which would be established under the law. “It seems to me a good way l!mnl tha reaction of the nublw o he HM Not Seen Draft Bill. Col. Grant explained, however, he had not seen the new draft of the bill and therefore did not feel inclined to discuss that part of the measure which would give the Commissioners the right to ktep billboards in a state of repair. Miss Harlean James, executive sec- retary of the American Clvic Associa- tion, was insistent that without public hearings the public generally would be unaware of what cl the Commis- sioners, or perhaps the billboard inter- e;l'.!. would seek lrxt:m“ume ;o time in the regul - a safeguard to the public which should be contained in writing in the law,” she declared.

FRANGO-BELGIAN ALLIANGE IS TARGET Pressure Exerted in Europe to Abrogate Defensive Agreement. (The certainty or uncertainty of peace Europe is involved in the current attempt to set aside the Franco-Belgian military agreement, Paul Scott Mowrer in ‘the following special weekly cable By PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, Prance, December 27.—Con- siderable effort is now being made to detach Belgium from its defensive al- liance with France. The immediate question is whether the Pranco-Belgian staff agreement of 1920 should be abrogated. 'A big de- bate on the subject is expected in the Belgisn Chamber of Deputies during | ¥ the second week of January, beginning | with a statement of the government's views by Foreign Minister Paul Hymans. This statement will undoubtedly be favorable to maintenance of the agree- ment on the following grounds just put forward by Minister of State H. Carton De Wiart: ‘The agreement is not really an al- liance, but a technical arrangement as to how the French afd Belgian armies shall co-operate in ease either country is a victim of unprovoked De Wiart adds thlt it would be dan- gerous and naise to denounce the agreement just now, when evacuation of the Rhineland by French and Belgian tmopa is proved by Adolf Hitler's .|uc- cess in the German elections not have hAd the effect whlch had been hoped. Oppo-lunn to the agreement comes mainly from the Flemish Autonomists, Cllhollfl and Socialists and is support- ed morally by German and Dutch Na- tionalists and by certain elements in Great Britain. Provoked by Press Articles, ‘To some extent the present flurry in Belgian foreign policy may be said to have been d by two vigorous articles in the London Dllly T‘Ekfl‘lph written by Dr. Maurice Gerothwol who is said to be a confidant of Dlvid Lloyd Geo: and whose articles are noted for l;geir proletarian and anti- French tendencies. Dr. Gerothwohl u Belgium to model its foreign policy on Britain, not France. Hz sees three dangers to European peace—the German-Polish frontier, the Itallan-Jugoslav frontier and the Franco-Italian naval rivalry in the Mediterranean. He seems to foresee that in case of an Italian attack on France or Jugoslavia or of a German attack on Poland, the Council o( the League of Nations will disagree regarding sibilities and Great Brlul.n Wi neutral. He admits, bowever, uut if Belgium, as France’s , should be drawn ll would be cult for Great Britain to stay out. He therefore proposes abrogation of the Franco-Belgian mili- tu’-ly agreement. hese articles were widely reproduced in the Belgian press and immediately started a lively on. Emile Van- dervelde, Socialist leader, seems more or less to adopt Dr. Gerothwohl’s views. ‘The Locarno treaties and the Kellogg pact, he asserts, mnke mnco-Be -n staff co-operation intimates that the soc!-llhh Wlll vom against the 300,000,000-franc credits the gvemment is asking for the defense of lgium’s eastern frontier. Called Vassal of France. ‘This view is stoutly seconded by Van Cauwelaert, Flemish Catholic burgo- master of Anwerp who accuses the government of making Belgium a mere vassal of France. Behind the argument looms through- out the bitter interior political struggle which is going on between the Flemish- speeking Flemings and the French- speaking Walloons, among whom the country is about equally divided. Flem- ish extremists, who have already won full administrative equality, for the Flemish tongue, seem now to be aimin, at nothing less than Flemish autonomy. Moreover, the French-speaking parts of Belgium are precisely those nearest the German frontier which suffered most in the last war and would be most exposed if another war occurred. Wal- loon Socialists, therefore, seem not to agree with Flemish Socialists on foreign policy. Hope to Renew Entente. Partisans of the Franco-Belgian agreement say that they have already tried several times and will always be glad to make with Great Britain an additional agreement similar to that with France, What they still hope for is renewal of the Franco-British entente. ‘The French press has extensively commented on Lheae Belgian discus- sions.

Mr. Harding ignored these remon- strances. He yielded instead not only to his own high regard for Mr. Hoover’s capacity, but to what knew to be a Nation-wide demand for Hoover's inclusion in the cabinet.
