. 1.5, ISWATCHING | + TREND OF ENTENTE Anglo-French Domination of: Europe Would Cause Re- turn to Isolation. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. While responsible officials in Wash- ington are endeavoring to forget the “gentlemen's agreement” and consider the controversy aroused by the pact as ended with President Hoover's letter to Senator Borah, the Franco-British understanding is claiming the attention of all high officials. Efforts are being | made to obtain all possible data on th= “entente” because it is felt that the contradictory statements issued in| Paris and in London may hide more | than has been made public. In high official circles it is felt. in regard to the foreign debts, that while the public opinion may be 2! ltrl‘enpl:e;e. | e opposed to any reduction, feice of ih try might possibly change when the people of the United States will be confronted with an im- mediate sttuation as will occur before <secember 15, when the creditor nations i owe the United States the debt e accordance W s moratorium of last year.

A number of mem! e Congress, not tled to any politice party, like Senator Henrik Shipstead, Who is going to discuss the debt dues: tion tomorrow night for the Nammr;s Radio Forum, are bound to keep matter before the public eye. “Entente” of Greater Import. 5 e question of the “entente” be- tv\'g‘n C:‘res! Britain and France is co;- sidered, however, as of much greater import, because of its nebulous 10§m and the many denials and contradic- fions which have been expressed by the interested statesmen. Basically, the “L; titude taken by American high officia is that if such an understanding will have as & result an improvement of relations betwen the principal Buropean countries, there is so much to be gaine by the whole world. If, as a result o(‘ the promises made by Great Britain to France, the fears of the French people of their neighbors can be alleviated, and France consequently will be more lib- eral-minded regarding the political claims of Germany and Italy, a rapid improvement of the general situation of Europe can be expected, and the United States will be among the first countries enefit from it o € in spite of the repeated denials | this understanding between France and Britain means that the two countries are going to work closely together and have a common policy which will result in the ultimate domineering of Europe, this understanding cannot be welcomed. If there are certain clauses which ha ot been made public—and the clum: secrecy which has shrouded these agree- ments does not preciude such a pos- sibility—then the consequences of the | entente might precipiate an undesirable situation. If the entente, it is said in responsible quarters, means that Britain is going to stand by France and prevent any attempt to revise certain clauses of the Versailles treaty, then we might eagerly expect & situation which every- body has been trying to avold for the last 10 years, namely, a closer political co-cperation between Russia and Ger- many. Two Important Results. As far as this country is concerned, two important results can be expected from the Anglo-French understanding —if it means more than French and| Britich officials are willing to admit at the present moment, First of all is a plete chanage in the present set-up Arms Reduction Conference. the United States rked under the assump- chief protagonist of the rmament ideas in the Lea the British Em- pire ew exceptions regard- ing certain points in the naval ques- tion, the British sympathized with our point of view., The gulf which sepa- rated France and her followers from the Americans and their friends was a difference in the philosophy of dis- armament The United States and those who associated themselves with the American ideas wished a reduction of arms, not only as a means of reduc- ing the burden of armaments, but as a means to avoid future America, States and, to a cer- tish telieve that the | ties and especially the Kellogg-Bri pact are sufficient gual anties for peace without excessive ar- maments for each country’s national Despite the disillusionment st few months caused by the| n in the Far East, the the Kellogg pact still as wel at Geneva, that it is an effective instrument for peace and a_drastic reduction in arma- give it more strength. ssophy of peace of the their associates and the Japa- nese is that wars are undesirable, but d as long as human nature | is what it is.

British P ion Shifts, “The recent discussions at Geneva be- tween America’s chief delegate, Hugh Gibscn, and the other delegates seem to indicate that there are serious dif- ferences regearding the framing of the resolution for the adjournment of the arms conference. There are certain clear indications that the British repre- sentatives, who, until recently were neu- tral with a slight inclination to defend the American viewpoint, are changing and aligning themselves to the point of view of the French. Their attitude in the course of the next week will show more clearly whether the suspicions which exist in certain American quar- ters regarding the Franco-British en- tente are founded or not. Should Britain show that she has had to give up the MacDonald policy of cluse co-operation with the United States and has reverted to a purely European policy in close harmony with the French, the position of the United States will become very clear. The United States will have to revert to Ser position of isolation, which she had maintained until the World War. In many quarters sucu a policy would be welcomed. In certain official quar- ters such a policy is frowned upon. It is explained that before the World War the American interests in the interna- tional fleld were negligible compared with the interests of the United States at the present moment. It is said that with almost _$40.000,000.000 invested , abroadgin war debis, private Ne ) and industries whic! been blished in foreign of maintin here EUROPE S LINE-UP LEAVES 1. 5. 0UT “Gentlemen’s Agreement” Puts U. S| on Defensive on Debts and Reparations. (Continued From First Page.) undoubtedly grew out of the following upper strata: The common French, Brit- ish and Italian dislike of the American war debt policy, the common dislike of France and Great Britain for the Hoo- ver disarmament proposals, the one for military and the other for naval rea- sons; the common French, British and | Italian distrust of the Berlin govern- ment, following Chancellor Franz von | Papen’s informal offer of a military al- | liance to France, and, finally, British | fears that unless Great Britain joined with France there would be some sort of Franco-German economic and politi- cal agreement consequent on which the continent would be organized by France and Germany without due regard for Great Britain's interests. In order to grasp the sudden reversal of the political situation which this entente has brought about, it is only necessary to look back a few weeks. Germany, Russia and Italy were work- ing together for treaty revision and in this they apparently had Great Brit- ain's sympathy. France was isolated. Situation Is Changed. ‘Today France and Great Britain have agreed to work together. Italy has ap- parently dropped Germany and joined France and Great Britain.” Russia, sus- picious of von Papen, is making non- aggression agreements with its West- ern neighbors, including Poland, and is turning its main attention more and more to the Far East. Germany is isolated. Certain Americans inexperienced In international politics may properly ask what it matters to the United States or to anybody just how the interna- tional line-up shifts from day to day or year to year. The answer is that it matters enormously, for it is largely on the basis of the existing line-up that the world’s problems any given time are dealt with. A great power isolated may be able to block solutions, but only a strong group can bring about positive changes, and what these changes are likely to be depends obviously on the character and leadership of the predominant group. Thus a few weeks ago Germany could hope seriously for further treaty revision in the near future. Today any such hope appears futile. Naturally nothing of all this appears in the published text. Publicly the new entente professes to be two things— first, a Franco-British agreement that neither will discriminate against the other commercially. This is in itself a highly important undertaking. Sec- ond, it is a Franco-British agreement for a full and frank exchange of views on all European problems, especially disarmament and preparation for the world_economic conference. It is further agreed that other Eu- ropean states, particularly Italy, Bel- gium and Germany, shall be invited to join, and it is stated that all this will be done in the spirit of the League of Nations. There is no mention of war debts, but at almost the same moment the text of the so-called Lausanne gentlemen's agreement has been pub- lished, whereby the Lausanne repara- tions treaty is definitely and in writ- ing made contingent on a new war debt settlement. The gentlemen’s agreement is signed by Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium. Italy and Belgium are also promptly joining the new Franco- British entente. That Germany also will join in these circumstances appears extremely doubt- ful, for what could it gain in such a combination where it could seemingly be outnumbered three or four to one? U. S. Not Considered. In Prench and British circles it is declared that the entente will be a good thing for Europe, because it will undertake to organize Europe along peaceful and productive lines, / Germany and Russia are unlikely for the present to agree With this in- terpietation. Nobody thus far pre- tends here that it will also be a good thing for the United States. It is merely being said, “Well, you yourself told us to get together and put our house in order, and that is precisely what we are doing.” In League circles the entente is criti- cized as a move tending to substitute a Franco-British group for the League Council and machinery. In still other quarters the question is asked, if this “mutual conference agreement” is merely as stated, a new and better method for handling Eu- rope's problems, why was it necessary at all? Did not the Lausanne declara- tion. signed by ‘15 powers, definitely say “the signatory powers will make every effort to resolve in the spirit which has inspired the present agree- ment the problems which exist at the present moment or may arise subse- quently?” Was not this declaration a | sufficient basis for the so-called new | method? % It is because there has thus far been no convincing answer to these questions that the tendency throughout Europe today is to regard the Franco-British accord not merely as an application of method, but as something very like a new entente cordiale In any case time. it is said, will tell.

NEW YORK, July 16.—Mrs. Mona Lo 36-year-old former cosmetics | manufacturer, was found dead in bed in her twelfth-floor penthouse apart-| ment today under circumstances which prompted authorities to order an autopsy. Clad in pajamas, Mrs. Lorenz was found by her 14-year-old daughter Julia upon returning from a walk in Central Park. The child said her mother had complained of feeling 1ill last night and that she did not dis- turb her today, thinking she was asleep.

Eastern standard time. The National Radio Forum is arranged by The Washington Star and broadcast over the network of the National Broad- casting Co. Senator Shipstead, who is & member | of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate, will discuss war debts and their relation to the United States with particular reference to the recent agree- ments made by Great Britain and France and_ other foreign nations at Lausanne. The United States has been insistent that the debts owed this coun- try by the foreign nations growing out of the World War and post-war condi- tions should not be canceled. The opinion in this country has been that the United States already has scaled down these debts enormously to the benefit of the European nations.

Summer’s first sweltering blast re- treated over most of the Nation yes- terday, leaving a toll of perhaps 75 dead and consicerable crop damage— and also a threat to return soon with even higher temperatures. Several sections of the Nation, no- tably the Southwest, suffered under uncomfortable heat, but the 95 to 100 degree temperatures of Friday were lacking in most places, except in the Western plains States, where 100 plus readings were quite common. Else- where, from coast to coast, most of the Nation had endurable, and in many sections enjovable week end weather. A prediction of new and perhaps more intense heat within the next few days was made, however. by C. A, Donnel, Government weather fore caster in Chicago. He predicted Ch cago and the Midwest vould be “mostly fair and warmer” today, with the prob- ability of scorching weather soon southwest winds prevailed. Similar forecasts came from other sections—all of them indicating Summer has settled down in earnest. The toll of dead in_Chicago from the 97-degree heat of Friday feached 16 with two additional deaths from prostration. Drownings and crowded bathing beaches and resorts during the hot spell were believed to have increased the deaths to well over 100. Thunderstorms were reported moving over Iowa yesterday giving Midwestern- ers a reason to hope for several days of cool weather. Pennsylvania and sections of the Midwest found relief earlier in the day through showers, but there was no rain for the Southwest. Crop damage was believed to have been confined to the cotton belt States, where grave fears for the yield were felt if the intense heat returned. Long- view, Tex., was believed to hold the record—105 degrees—for the first heat wave of 1932 Sailors Plan Revolt. HAVANA, Cuba, July 16 (P).—Re- ports that there had been difficulties with sailors aboard the Cuban cruisers Yara, Cuba and Patria were confirmed Documentary evidence was said to have been found indicating that the sailors, approximately 50 of whom were arrested, were affiliated with a revolu- tionary group. ences. “It is not for me or any other man,” the bishop's statement sa:d, “to say | what the Methodist Church, through its | members acting as citizens, will do in | the coming presidential election.

From this viewpoint I can confi- | dently state it as my belief that a vast majority of the ministers of the Meth- odist Church and a huge proportion of its members are against the political proposition to repeal the eighteenth | amendment, and they will consistently | oppese through their ballots any and | all efforts looking to the end of repeal.” WARNING SOUNDED IN DEBT PROPOSAL No Agreement Binding Unless Congress Is in Session. | | Lewis Declares Europe and the international bankers |were warned yesterday by Senator | James Hamilton Lewis, Democrat of | Ilknois, that any arrangement as to | the war debts or disarmament by those | assuming to speak for this Government while Congress is not in session will | hot be binding.

Although as penniless as some of the | unfortunates it has sought to help, the President's Organization on Unemploy- ment Relief is carrying on as usual, its | officials determined not to quit in the face of mounting demands for guidance from States expecting relief loans from the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion. The skeletonized force, deprived of funds since the beginning of the new fiscal year, is confronted with an u precedented fleld for service under new legislation authorizing the R. F. C. to extend relief to States and other local agencies. How this service, urgently in demand even before passage of the legislation, can be rendered without funds for clerical help, telephones or | telegrams is causing Director Walter S. Gifford and his colleagues grave con- cern. Only, yesterday requests came from four States for counsel in administer- e | markets and lead to reprisals by non- tives sent to Washington or through | correspondence, had asked for advice in this connection. It is probable that many other States and other bene- ficlaries under the relief loan program wiil call on the Gifford group for expert counsel. Competent Advice Sought. ‘The authority of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation ends when a loan is tendered an applicant. Disposition of the money for the purposes cited in the application is left to the recipient of the fund. Banks and railroads are experts on financial problems affecting their respective businesses, but States so far have had little experience in administering public relief funds. For that reason State officials have been endeavoring to secure competent ad- vice in preparation for prospective re- lief activities involving Federal loans. With these and other demands con- fronting it, the unemployment organi- | zation has kept its doors open and its machinery functioning, despite lack of funds. Gifford and all the 108 mem- bers of his Advisory Committee have served, from the beginning, without pay or expense allowance, but a staff of employed experts and clerks has been required. The staff has dwindled to about a dozen employes, due to lack of money. Agencies' Achievements. Created to co-operate with public au- thorities and with national, State and local agencies concerned with relief, the organization has co-ordinated and stimulated relief work throughout the Nation. Its achievements are summed up as follows in an official memoran- dum: 1. Promoted through governors the organization of State committees and of local committees concerned with pro- | viding employment and relieving dis- tress. 2. Brought together for effective team work practically all national relief and welfare agencies. 3. Assisted in securing from various philanthropic foundations grants direct to certain national orgenizations in order to enable them to carry out ac- tivities throughout the past year spe- cifically requested by the President’s organization. Beneficiaries of these funds were the Family Welfare Asso- ciation of America, which is assisting community relief; the Association of Community Chests and Councils, and the American Public Welfare Associa- tion 4. Enlisted the active co-operation of national groups in the preparation of guidance Teports on variou$ subjects for distribution to local communities. 5. Facilitated the active co-operation of the various Federal departments and bureaus in employment and relief ac-| tivities 6. Enlisted the active assistance of trade associations in measures designed to promote employment and provide relief. Suggestions Analyzed. 7. Analyzed many hundreds of sug- gestions and plans submitted to the organization and gave wide distribu- ticn to a report recommending spread- ing of work and extension of credit. 8. Communicated directly with many thousands of employers in an effort to secure general adoption of the plan of spreading work within each establish- ment, and gave wide distribution to a leaflet on the subject. 9. Distributed to all local committees and to many individual agencies a re- port on administration of relief. 10. Distributed upon request many thousands of copies of the leafl “Your Food Dollar,” as a guide to low income groups. 11. Expedited as far as possible pub- lic work activities through direct con- tact with States and communities and through active co-operation of national groups in that fleld of work. 12.

ECONOMY PARLEY OPENING IN CANADA IMPORTANT TO U. S. (Continued From First Page.) right of home government to override dominion legislation. This year the emphasis is on economic matters rather than political matters. “The ideal of imperial economic unity is simple to express, but somewhat m.ore diMcult to attain. Take, for instance, the malier of wheat. Only a small portion of the wheat needed for the British Isles is grown in the British Isles. Canada and Australia would like a monopoly on the excess that is indis- pensible. But there complications arise. A great deal of British money has been invested in Argentina. If Argentina can't ship wheat to Britain the return on British capital in Argentina is threatened. And so it goes in numerous other items. For a long time now Britain has been building up trade with the world. For her to disrupt old trade re- lations in favor of & strictly Empire economic system would be pulling up roots indeed.
