Premier Plandin and Foreign Minister Laval of France sought to iiersunde England to line up with France and Itussla rather than with Germany, and they presented as one argument a new niutunl assistance pact they had Just signed with Russia. Premier Mussolini, solemn and pessimistic, handled matters for Italy with the help of Fulvio Suvlch, undersecretary of foreign affairs. He had already wurned the world that the Issue of war or pence probably could nut be settled Ht Slresa. Of course, the chief question was the attitude of other nntlons toward the constantly growing of the relch under Illtler, and the first concrete problem taken up was France's appeal to the League of Nations against Germany's repudiation of the military cluuses of the Versailles treaty. Premiers Mussolini and MacDonald IM'rsunded Flandin to moderate the tone of this protest uml not to any 8eclflc penalty against Germany, and then all approved the note and in a resolution slapiwd Hitler on the wrist for halting tin1 progress toward arnta limitation. The three premiers also agreed that their nationa should act In cwi ccrt In promoting an Eastern L carno, strengthening the position or Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria, pm ceeding with the negotiation of an air convention, opposing unilateral repudiation of treutles, and calling a Dunuhiun conference In May. France's memorandum as submitted to the league of Nations council when It assembled In Geneva was still a vigorously worded document, characterizing Hitler's military moves aa "the culmination of long and methodical labors pursued In secret." The action. It said, "has deliberately destroyed one of the bases" of Germany's collaboration with the leugue. By so doing It lias seriously compromised the success of international negotiations on limitation of armaments pursued under the unspices of the longue of Nations and on the basis of article VIII of tlie league covenant," the memorandum continued. Foreign Minister Laval, who presented the memorandum, recommended tliut Germany he "condemned" fur her action, and that the league consider economic penalties against nations which, in the future, violate treaties. Berlin came hack at the memorandum with an official communique which snld: "If France liellevea it Is necessary to recull the obligations forced on Germany one need only to recull France's solemn and voluntary obligations In the Locarno protocol to take Immediate steps toward disarmament. "Tlie statements of tlie French ministers for years revealed that France never seriously Intended to carry out the disarmament obligations. Actually, the Stress conference resulted la little more than a demonstration of the continued solidarity of the three great powers participating. Tlila was lu a considerable measure a triumph for Mussolini, who had expected nothing more, but had Insisted on the united front. - new mutual asslxtance reached by France and Russia was at first supposed to lie merely sn agreement on sanctions to lie taken u .in Inst nn aggressor once tlie latter was determined by tlie Leugue of Nationa.

The work relief act earmarks $800,0(10,000 for such undertakings, and the sum may be Increased by the President to a billion. The roads bureau already has $100,000,000 of grade crossing eliminations and other projects contracted for under anthorlty granted hy congress lut year, officials revealed, and these contracts are to be met with work-relie- f money. Arthur IV. Brandt, president of the American Association of State Highway Officials, advised a congressional committee recently that states were prepared to wipe out 4,058 dangerous crossings If as much as $401,881,500 was made available. lie said $277,507,500 of such projects could be completed In a year. Brandt reported also tliut state officials were ready to begin construction or widening and straightening of 1,730 trunk line routes through cities at a cost of $208,732,800. States will not he required to match the work-relie- f money set aside for highway, street and crossing construction. After It Is made available by the President, tlie fund will be apiiortloned among the states by the secretary of agriculture on a basis prescribed by the relief act. agencies of the SEVEN are to combat tlie damage done by the constantly recurring dust storms. They are the AAA, farm credit administration, emergency relief administration, soil erosion service, bureau of plant Industry and bureau of agricultural engineering. Tbe efforts, officials said, will Include shipping feed, food and water Into the stricken areas of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas and Colorado, starting work relief projects on roudx, private lands and the public domain, planting of and hardy crops as ground cover In arcus where moisture conditions permit, and listing" ojwra-tlonThis latter work Is an attempt to prevent soil blowing away, by making alternate ridges and furrows. Meanwhile other officials of the same bureaus were beginning to map out permanent plans designed, they suld, to prevent recurrence of dust storms In dry periods. Primary among these was a program with the declared aim of permanently acquiring, through the AAA and relief administration. acres of land before July L Such land will lie retired from farm production to cover crops and for ests and for use as recreation and wild-lifarena.

McCARL, the able, dent and Independent effi- - comp- troller general of the United States, haa annoyed the New Dealers on several occasions. Now he threatens to block tlie plana of the AAA for lifting the restrictions on spring wheat planting and at the same time continuing to pay the farmers for reductions that would not be called, for. Declaring they wished to avoid shortages due to the duat storing, the officials of the AAA said the farmers would he paid for the abandoned reductions in acreage If they would promise to curtail their plantings next year. Mr. McCarl asked for further Informntlon on this matter and indicated he could not approve of the plan, though AAA men declared he had not ruled definitely against It. Chester C. Davis, AAA administrator, might not be content to abide by such a ruling If It were made, and the administration might refuse to accept It Mr. McCarl, a Republican, holds bis office under a law which specifies that the comptroller general shall be appointed to a term and can be removed only by death or lmiieachment Nevertheless Attorney General Cummings, It Is understood, gave It as his opinion that, like any other Presidential appointee, he could be removed at the pleasure of the President He based this opinion on ruling of the Supreme court In the case of a postmaster who was ousted by President Coolldge, tbe court holding that tbe President was within his rights under Article 2 of the Constitution. So It may be the New Dealers will seek to have Mr. McCarl ousted before his term expires In 1930, for It Is feared by them that he will ham0 per the expenditure of the work relief appropriation to an extent thnt would grently Irk the Democratic party leaders.
