Mussolini has ulreudy asserted that there will be no such police duty done by his troops until the ISritish "menace" is removed from the Mediterranean. The policing, incidentally, would be only on the German side of the frontier. Hitler also is asked to agree not to increase the number of troops in the Iibine zone which, as dellnfd by the Locarno treaty, Is r0 to 100 miles wide. France, turning from her early policy, has agreed to let Hitler the troops ln the Khlneland which he has already moved In there.

France was enormously pleased with the plan, for It gave such unmistakable evidence of the strength of the alliance between France and Great Britain. When Pierre Rtlenne Flandln, the French minister, announced the proposals In the chamber of deputies he was cheered by of the members. British Approval Unanimous, The British parliament was likewise enthusiastic. It responded to Eden's proposals immediately and to a man. Germany was a long time in voicing her sentiments, and ns this is written, she still had not voiced them oflicially. The press, however, was quick and emphatic. And the press can't say anything the Nazi government doesn't aps prove. Hitler Defends Policy. Adolf Hitler, in a political speech at Hamburg, said: ''Whatever happens we won't withdraw one centimeter from our demands for equality, not because we want to disturb European order but because a permanent order Is possible only on a basis of equality.

There's the Question If these two reasons for having an merchant marine are acAmerican cepted, the question then comes of bow to make if possible. There has been to the word such violent objection that the straightforward subsidy course of encouraging the construction and (iperation of ships tinder the American flag has never been possible. Even with the huge Uepuhlicnn majority thai resulted from the 1DJ0 election, it was never possible to get such a measure through congress. The !ale Senator .Jacob 11 Gallinger of New Hampshire again ami again deplored the fact that despite an almost universal desire to build up an American merchant marine congress was never willing to aid It except by subterfuge. This subterfuge, of course, lias always been the mail subvention paying ship owners a great deal mure for carrying t lie mail than the service is . worth. But, due to the regulations and requirements of the shipping board (originally set up by President Wilson for no other purpose than to f osier an American merchant marine), much of the money spent to aid American shipping litis been pure waste. With the best Intentions in the world, millions were wasted In aiding the financing of vessels, or the purchasing of ships taken owr by the government after the war. and then forcing the operation of those ships in an uneconomic way. The famous Leviathan sentatives of Great Britain, France, Belgium and Italy (the Locarno powers) went Into a huddle and came otit with a plan for security which was publicly announced by Anthony Kden, British foreign secretary In the bouse of commons.

Congress is in a liberal mood with respect to flood relief, hut it is also ready to go further in the direction President Roosevelt has always desired in bringing about publicly owned power systems. Kven in t he direct relief, which will of course be followed by vast works aimed at lessening the proportions of such disasters, there is a notable advantage to "publicly owned" utilities. For instance, consider two electric plants, one publicly owned, one privatetowns on the ly ownodj at nearby same river. It could be the Merrimac, or the Connecticut, or the Allegheny or any river hit in the recent floods. Money, already allocated by the President is available for "replacement'' of the publicly owned plant. The stockholders of the privately owned-- plant must take their loss, unless they have Hood insurance. It is for the future thut the develop ment is really important, however. There will be a wave of dam building, aimed at holding back future flood waters, and utilizing the water meantime for the generation of elecricity in publicly owned power plants. These naturally must sell their electricity somewhere the Supreme com upheld that in the TV A case even if it did not specifically- - mention flood control.
