TWO CHIEF EVENTS OF 1932 WEIGHED Lausanne Accord and Franco- German Arms Understand- ing Emphasized. (Continued From Third Page,) the Lausanne agreement are private in- vestors who have credits in Germany. And s0 many of these are Americans (our investments in Germany probably total $1,800.000,000, or $15 for every men, woman and child in the United States) that Europeans find it difficult to comprehend how eminent American statesmen can go on repeating that the reparations question is none of our business. This year saw the beginning of the Disarmement Conference at Geneva, but will not see the end of it. It is yet early to say what will be the final achievements of that conference, but the recegnition by France of Ger- many’s right 1> equality of treatment is a gain that was not foreseen by the most optimistic when the conference convened last February. Limit on Offensive Forces. ‘The French offer of equality does not mean that Germany 'is to be free to re- build the war machine of 1914. If it meant that, it would not be a cause for congratulation, because unlimited ex- pansion of armaments in Germany would lead fatally to another race for supremacy, and certainly that is not the object that the organizers of the Disarmament Conference had in view. The French idea, in its broad lines, is that 2ll nations in Europe, on a footing of equality, might have a simi- lar type of army—a type that is a suffi- cient weapon for defense and for in- ternal police in case of nsurrection, but which would be unsuitable for offensive warfare outside the national | boundaries. The Swiss army, composed of conscripts who undergo a few months training at the age of 20 and then a brief period of supplementary exercises yearly thereafter, is taken as a model. Swiss army has never been tested under modern conditions, but the gen- eral military opinion is that while it would offer a solid resistance in case of invasion it would be practically use- less as an offensive force attacking a neighboring country. It may be that the French plan will not be adopted, it may be that the Disarmament Conference will reach no agreement at all, though that is im- probable; but whatever happens, the French have volunteered to grant Ger- many an equality of rights to which she was not entitled under the treaty of Versailles, and that fact represents a long stride on the path of PFranco- German reconciliation. Considering the fact that 1932 was the third year of the world economic depression, which seemed to reach its lowest point about the middle of this ear, the atmosphere has been singu- rly free of war clouds. Nothing en- genders such éloucs more than hard times. During the worst moments of the present crisis millions of people could not help remembering that the period of the last war was a time of relative prosperity. ‘Trade flourished and everybody had well paid work. ‘The men in the fighting armies and navies had sufferings and hardships, | of course, but just as many are suf- fering today without the comforting feeling that they are suffering for a patriotic cause. The violent but glori- ous death of tie trenches is replaced by a death of starvation and ignoble misery. Year of Patient Siriving. It must have seemed to the millions who made this comparison that in many respects war and prosperity are to be preferred to peace and cestitu- tion. And when millions of people are in such a frame of mind it does not require much of a spark to ignite the wder. Yet, on the whole, 1932 has n one of patient, pacific striving for better international feeling. Europe, sometimes believed in America to be only too ready for trouble, has behaved with sage moderation under the stress and strain of the economic crisis. g the last few months of the year a considerable improvement in economic conditions has been noted. Index figures and other statistics have begun to show a slight but appreciable upward trend. The recovery is per- haps too slight to be felt directly by the individual, but trade statistics and index figures are like a barometer— they precede the phenomena which they describe. An upturn in prices of raw materials, for example, means that bankers will lend money which a week previously they would have refused; manufacturers will replenish their stocks; retailers will order goods in anticipation of a rise in prices; bears on the market will rush to cover and boost the prices of securities, which in turn will create more credit. One swallow does not make a Sum- mer, and a little upward hook on the business chart does not necessarily mean that the depression is over; but it must not be forgotten that the bankers and business men of the world are convinced that the depression will end some time, and they are determined to seize that' moment, if they can identify it, and get in on the ground floor of the new prosperity. There are indications that many of them, in Europe at least, are convinced that that time has about arrived. Looking to America. This year cleaned up the intergovern- mental ‘finance problem pretty well, so far as Europe is concerned. The Lausanne agreement put an end to the major debts owed by the different Eu- yopean nations to each other. But it was made contingent on “satisfactory” action by the United States, and the question of what concessions America is willing to make was left over until 1933, The reason for this postponement was that President Hoover did not want to open a discussion on war debts during his campaign for re-election. It is not hard to understand why. The war-debt problem, in its technical and real aspects, is extremely complicated. It cannot be argued on the political hustings in the heat of a campaign For the same reason the Lausanne conference could not be held until the French electicns were over, last May. The French nation has accepted the Lausanne settlement, now that it is a feit accompli, with scercely a murmur, but if the conference had happened during the parliamentary elections in France, there would e been no agrecment. No French stateman would | have dared to put his signature to a| paper that si to be indemnificd caused by the war. Cheers Easy to Draw. It is extremely easy for a political candidate in any country to draw en- thusiastic cheers from an audience by retending that he thinks intergovern- ental debts are on the same plane as a debt at the grocery for a pound of tea. “Europe borrowed the money, Europe ought to pay,” can be shouted in one sentence. It doesn't mean any- m" but it gets the crowd. To dis- the question intelligently takes hours, and would bore the audience to tears. Now that the election is over, the parleys between Europe and the United States will begin. The general hope and belief is that the negotiations for new debt settlements will be concluded before next June, when the next pay- a France's right | for the destruction | Bennett, Arnold.

LTHOUGH no statistics are available, the stationers’ coun- ters at this season appear to indicate that many persons start a diary each New Year day. There is less evidence on which to base the assumption that few diaries so started are continued beyond a month or so, but nearly every one's personal experience would seem to in- dicate that at least 90 per cent of the diaries die a natural death after a few months. This week the Public Library presents a list of diaries by a few of those who have made the grade, in the hope that far some reader it may lead to a revival of the art. English Diaries, 1599-1821.

Near the close of the year| the federation elected James G. Yaden to succeed Dr. Havenner as president and selected a new Citizens’ Advisory Council. Dr. Havenner declined to run for re- election as the federation president after having served three successive terms, which established a prececent in the history of the organization. Mr. Yaden had formerly served as president of the federation, and in recent years had been chairman of its Committes on Education. 1 ‘The major changes in personnel in the | District government involved the Police Department. These included the pro- motion of Inspector Brown as successor to Gen. Glassford, the elevation of a group of officers resulting from Maj. Brown's advancement, and a reassign- ment of several inspectors due to a re- organization of the Crime Prevention Bureau. Gen. Glassford's resignation came as a dramtic sequel to his efforts to force the retirement of Inspector Frank 8. W. Burke as chief of detectives. The Board of Police and Fire Surgeons thwarted this plan by finding Inspector Burke physically fit for continued duty, and then Gen. Glassford made an attempt to reassign the detective chief which t}qe Commissioners declined to sanc- tion. Municipal improvements during the year consisted mainly of the completion of projects started in 1931. These in- cluded new public school buildings, the widening and resurfacing of Benning road northeast, and the opening and paving of Constitution avenue from Second street to John Marshall place. Finance Troubles Occupied Officials Of District in 1932 Pinancial troubles, both of the citi- zens and their government, occupied the spotlight at the District Building in 1932. Last August a special administration was set up to take care of the unem- ployed, with a fund of $350,000 ap- proved by Congress for the purpose. The amount proved inadequate. The District had to ask the Community Chest for help, which it gave to the tune of $100,000. Then an urgent deficiency of $1,250,000 was requested | by the Commisisoners, and as this is written, the request is pending in Con- gress. Tax receipts in the 1932 fiscal year declined $39,182.04 as compared with 1931, and Congress passed an appropri- ation bill of $41,245622 for the 1933 fiscal year, a cut of nearly $5,000,000 under the 1932 scale. Nevertheless the District would encounter an actual deficit before next July if it were not for savings made mandatory under the | economy act. Economy Committee. On March 5 the Commisisoners founded an_Economy Committee, in- structed to belp the Government save money. Under the chairmanship of District Auditor Daniel J. Donovan, this committee has met often and for long periods, but whether it has effected any economies remains a dark secret. The committee prepared @ report on the District estimates for 1934, but when dy suppressed it. Dui the year the District paid the Federal Government the first $1,000,000 obligated under the terms of the Cap- per-Crampton act for the purchase of park and plavground lands. In spite of the depression, a few large construction projects were started or completed. The ne Klingle Valley Bridge was opened to waffic. Two new incinerators were completed and put into service. Work has started on the constriiction of a new Benning bridge and construction is well along on the first building of the Tuberculosis Sana- torium near Laurel, Md., and the Piney Branch underpass. New Officers Named. All three Assistant Engineer Com- missioners on duty at the beginning of the year have departed and are re- placed by others. Maj. Holland L. Robb was transferred January 22. Capt. Hugh Oram resigned in February to take a newly created job in the District government giving him a pay increase of $1,500 per annum, and Maj. Donald A. Davison was transferred August 1. Replacing them are Maj. Paul A. Hodg- son, assigned March 10; Capt. H. F. Clark, Pebruary 15, and Lieut. Robert E. York, January 26. Harold F. Baker of Rochester, N. Y., was imported to fill the newly created | post of director of the Department of Construction.

As prepared by the District Commissioners the estimates amounted to $44,915,230, based on a $9,500,000 Federal contribution. As submitted to Congress by the Budget Bureau the to- tal recommended was reduced and was based on a continuation of the $7,775,~ 000 Federal contribution fixed for the current year. These estimates of appropriation are to be corsidered during hearings to be started within two weeks by the House subcommittee on the District bill, in which bill it is proposed to include an ad- ditional $625,000 for relief work during the last six months of the coming cal- endar year which is the first six months of the fiscal year 1934. ‘The Senate District Committee held hearings during the year on four of the Mapes bills, which seek te establish new and increased taxes on District res- idents as part of the program of the Mapes Committee and an increase in the District's share of the annual ex- THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME gm-eum - (':jfwth‘c‘.}lltm.
