MACDONALD SAYS PLANS DEGIDED Premier Assures England Not f Go Beyond Present Pacts London, April 1 (A—Prime Min- ister MacDonald told the house of commons today that Great Britain does not intend any commitment be- yond these provided in the Leaguc of Nations covenant and the obliga- tions of the Locarno treaty, adding that France has never asked her to %0 beyond them. Asks For Assurance Wedgwood Benn had asked the prime minister if he could assure the house the government would not “enter into any increase of li- abilities or sanctions insthe Mediter. ranean except insofar as any such liabilities or sanctions are shared by the American government.” The prime minister replied: ““His majesty’s government has no intention of entering into any commitment which goes beyond the obligations resulting from the cove- nant of the League of Nations and the Treaty of Locarno. I may, per- haps, take this opportunity of say- ing that the French government do not ask and have never asked that his majesty’s government should add to the burdens which already de- volve tipon them as a result of these instruments.” Communicate With Premier Secretary Stimson and Prime Min- ister MacDonald both communicated directly with the Japanese premier, Yugo Hamaguchi, in connection with the naval conference situation, a foreign office spokesman said to- day. The British premier’s communica- tion was made through the Japanese ambassador and the Japanese for- cign minister. The spokesman said the communications were concili- atory in tone and not of a coercive nature, and he asserted that neither had influenced the Japanese deci- sion with reference to the American naval ratio proposals one way or another. Progress in Dispute London, April 1 (®—*A British naval conference spokesman an- nounced this morning that “distinct progress” was made during the past 24 hours toward finding a security formula satisfactory to Great Britain and to France. The announcement represented a distinct change from the gloom which pervaded conference circles -rday over the Anglo-French gotiations, in which Great Britain has cndeavored to satisfy French de. sire for a guaranteed security in ex- change for reduction of the French naval program. 1t was understood generally that the two dclegations had rcached an impasse. Still Work On Plan The difficulties of the situation, Rowever, did not prevent the ex- perts continuing to hammer on this complicated political problem with ihe apparent result that they have begun to see some light.

Colonel Casper (By Herald Reviewer) Fred Stone was warmly welcomed back to Hartford last evening when he made his first appearance on Parsons’ stage since his airplane crash more than a year ago, Whether the spectators attended the per- formance of “Ripples” to see the show or to extend the hand of friendship to Stone will ever remain a matter of doubt. The applause for the comedian was quite as intense as the applause for the play, nearly everyone present joining in a re- ception to the aviator-comedian which had all the earmarks of close personal friendship. In addition to TFred., there are other Stones on the bill—pebbles. he calls them. The family roll cal! incudes Mrs, Stone, Dorothy Stone and the newest member of the family to be introduced to the pub- lic, Paula Stone, In spite of the plethora of Stones, they do not al- low themselves to intrude to the exclusion of others although they form the backbone of the show. “Ripples” is a wholesome, inter- esting entertainment. woven the story—or an aftermath of the story—of Rip Van Winkle, whose long sleep in the Catskill mountains forms part of Colonial folklore. Stone is cast as the great grandson of the famous sleeper, in- heriting many traits from that char- acter, including his thirst and a desire to avoid laborious work. Dorothy Stone is his daughter, known to the folks roundabout, as | “Ripples.” Mrs. Stone is a society woman and Paula Stone is her daughter. Tht story is lightened by several catchy tunes and the settings and costuming of the cast agdd to the general color and eye-pleasing ef- fects. The Stones are assisted by Arthur Cunningham, Edward Allen, Charles Collins, Andrew Tombes, Althea Heinly, Eddie Foy, Jr, Charles Mast, Pearl Hight and a dozen dwarfs, who make their homel in the highlands. The Mary Read Tiller dancing girls execute their routines in a manner that wins pro- tracted applause, Not the least interesting moment of the entertainment is the mono- logue by Stone and the dancipg numbers in which father daughters take place. “Ripples” is at Parsons’ for week with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.
