New/Review of Current Events the World Over Hitler's Peace Proposals Scouted by France —Big Italian Victory May End Ethiopian War —Lowden for Republican Key-Noter. By EDWARD W. PICKARD \ • WMtera Ntwspapar Vnion.

ADOLF HITLER’S proposals for peace In Europe,, together with bls flat rejection of the plan of the other four Locarno powers for settlea merit of the Rhineland situation, were handed to British Foreign Minister Eden by Joachim von Ribbentrop, and passed on by Eden to the French and Belgian ambassadors in London. The British cabinet thought the German scheme worthy of consideration, but AHaifMHUr tb* Fre nc h governAdolf Hitl.r ment Jook<M npon R as a “cunning plan” to split the Locarno powers and make Hitler the virtual dictator of Europe. Premier Sarraut and Foreign Minister Flandin were consulting on steps for frustrating the relch*fuehrer and preserving a united front of the Locarno nations. Hitler’s note made these proposals: L A “standstill” agreement to exist on both sides of the German border for four months during which Germany, France, and Belgium would make no troop movements. This "armistice” would be guaranteed by a neutral commission. 2. A 25-year nonaggression pact between Germany, France, and Belgium, guaranteed by an international arbitration court, to be negotiated Immediately after the French elections. 3. Negotiation for nonaggression pacts between Germany and her other neighbors. A Germany to return to the League of Nations as an equal If the league covenant is separated from the Versailles treaty and with the understanding that colonial concession* will be made. 5. When a general settlement Is tn sight conferences to be held to secure the prohibition in warfare of gas, poison and Incendiary bombs, bombing of cl villa ns. bombing of towns more than 12 miles from the battle zLne, and the abolition of heavy tanks and heavy artillery. / 6. A general economic amSdlsarmameot conference. FOLLOWING the example of Germany, tb* Austrian diet has repudiated that nation's military obligations under the St Germain treaty. By unanimous vote it approved a bill Introduced by Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnlgg, providing for general national military service “with or without arms.” Every male from his eighteenth to his forty-second year is liable to conscription. This move, which ha* the support of Premier Mussolini of Italy, was not unexpected, and though It aroused the little entente nations to anger, probably their formal protests will bring no result. The new law I* not likely to bring any great change at present In Austrian armaments, for Austria already had disregarded both th* treaty of St Germain’s disarmament provision and it* restriction of armament* without serious objection from other countries. Tanks, forbidden to Austria under the treaty, were actually paraded around the Ringstrasse some months ago under the eyes of foreign military attache* whom she had invited. Hungary may now be expected to violate th* treaties and rearm, that, too. bring a part of Mussolini's policy. PEACE negotiations between Italy sad Ethiopia, outside the League of Nations, seem Imminent, for emissaries of Emperor Halle Selassie already have been re- sgfi ceived by Marshal Pietro Radogllo, and the Italian undersecretary of, colonies Is In east Africa to conduct the preliminaries. This frßßfl| news followed closely L the dispatches telling If > of a great victory won by Badoglio's northern |F ‘ 'AjNmH troops over 20,000 |® . fresh and picked , , Ethiopian soldiers whose fight was directed and watched by the emperor himself. The battle, at Mai Cea. lasted all day and the Ethiopians left 7,000 dead on the field as they fled to Join th* main body of 50,000 troops south of Lake Ashangl eight miles away. Italian fatalities Included 10 officers and about 1,000 soldiera. most of the latter being Eritrean Askari*. It was believed Marshal Badogllo would follow up this victory with a smashing blow at Dessye. main concentration point of the Ethiopians, unless peace negotiations stop him. Just before this battle th* Italian air bombers attacked and practically ruined Harar, second city of Ethiopia. Most of th* populace bad fled when •costing plane* gar* .a warning of what was' to come, so th* cMualties were few.

Hitler could save the country from great danger. According to Berlin correspondents, there was a difference of opinion there a* to the influence the triumph would have on the fuehrer. Some said It would stiffen his back and indue* him to rid* roughshod over th* powero which objected to hl* scrapping of th* Locarno pact Others said the election would make him feel so strong he would be willing to make a concession to his neighbors in an effort to help establish “the new order in Europe” to which he referred so frequently In bls election speeches. The new relchstag will be the largest in history, having about 740 members. Most of them will be officiate of the Nail party. For the first time In the history of aviation a polling booth was established: In the air. It was aboard the new dirigible Von Hindenburg, whose 104 passengers and crew voted solidly for Hitler. The Hindenburg and the Graf Zeppelin cruised over the Saar and the Rhineland all day long. LEADERS of both major parties are , perfecting the arrangements for the national conventions and picking out th* chief oratory for those occagsions. The Republicans have tentatively selected Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, as temporary chairman and keynoter of the gathering in Cleveland. If this Choice stands it Is presumed the permanent chairman will be an Easterner, possibly Walter Edge of New F. <>. Lowden j erse y, former ambassador and senator. Some Western governor Is wanted by the Democrats as their keynoter and the honor may be given to Paul V. McNutt of Indiana, C. Ben Ross of Idaho or Clyde C. Herring of lowa. For permanent chairman at Philadelphia Senator Robinson of Arkansas is likely to be picked. The speech patting President Roosevelt in nomination for a second term may be delivered by Senator Wagner of New York. New York Republicans of the Old Guard persuasion scored a decisive victory over Senator Borah in the primaries, and the Empire state delega-i tloia to Cleveland will be unpledged to any candidate. The triumph of the conservatives was complete. Not only were the Borah candidates defeated in nine congressional districts in which they made contests, but the organization candidates for delegates defeated independent candidates not pledged to Borah in three other districts. Maine Democrats in their primary pl<»dged their ten convention votes to the renominatioQ of Mr. Roosevelt The Kentucky state Republican convention Instructed the four state delegates at large to vote for Gov. Alf M. London of Kansas for the Presidential nomination. This, with previous developments, assured Landon of 18 of th* state's votes. WHILE a house committee Is delving into the financial operations' of the Townsend plan organization, its founder, Dr. Francis E. Townsend, announced in Washington a complete reorganization of “Old Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd.” The shake-up followed a split between Representative John S. McGroarty of California, who has pushed the Townsend plan In the bouse, and the California doctor. Doctor Townsend accused McGroarty of conniving to convert Townsendltes in California to the Democratic party. Townsend said that henceforth the movement would be managed by a board and that he. would present to It 90 per eent of the profits of the Townsend National Weekly. The national beadquarter* of the movement will be moved from Washington to Chicago, which was chosen for Its central location and accessibility. Another new policy of the movement will be the selection of an auditing firm to regularly audit finances and re|KMt to th* directors of each, of the Townsend club*. Townsend will remain a* president. 111* board of director* was named as follows: Gomer Smith. Oklahoma City, vice president: Gilmour Young. San Francisco, national secretary; Dr, Clinton Wunder.

CITATIONS were issued by the Post Office department against alleged lottery associations operated by Mrs. Oliver Harriman, prominent in New , York society, and Alfred E, Smith, Jr., son of Al Smith. They and others associated with them were summoned to appear in Washington and show cause why fraud order* should not be isI sued against them. According to the charge, both persons are operating lotteries. Mrs. Harriman beads the “National Conference on Legalizing Lotteries. Inc.,” and Smith heads the “Golden Stakes Sweepstake*.* Despite vigorous opposition, which will reappear on the floor of the . senate, the senate committee on immtt gration and naturalization reported fat vorably the Kerr-Cool- . btge alien deportation I bill which Secretary ’ ■ Perkins has been tryWM lng to get throa * h ‘ congress for three : mC-'- mIX, 1 y ears - K wUI ve her .yra J aDd two otoer mem- • ‘ bers of an toterde- ' P artmpnta! board discretlonary power to I a harbor radical and I even criminal alien*, otherwise deportable, P*>dna ln Hjjg country.

By “hardship cases” Secretary Peyklns ■ means that they would be separated from family ties or put to some other . inconvenience. Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina, Democrat, not long ago attacked tb* action of Secretary Perkins in holding up the deportations and denounced the pending bill as a "sham and a mockery” and a subterfuge to shield all kinds of radicals, criminals, and dependents unlawfully to this country. Secretary Perkins refused to produce information respecting the 2,800 “hardship” cases until Reynolds Introduced a senate resolution to that effect. ACCORDING to the committee on government competition with private enterprise, whose report has been made to the President, that practice is wholly destructive except in situations where the public welfare can only thus be served. “The government’s function,” the report said, “is to protect economic activities ofjlts citizens and not to supplant them. 4 The committee unanimously agreed that only nnder the following conditions is the government justified in > entering into competition with private enterprise: I 1.

The resolution was j adopted by a vote of 368 H to 250 H although several leaders pleaded that the move be put off for four years. Governor Olson said privately that to hl* opinion the resolution could do no barm since It does not commit the > liberals to putting a national ticket to the field this year. Neither does It authorize formation of such a ticket unless a second convention convene* and ratifies any action a proposed “exploratory conference” may take.

B. S. Stoma niakov. Soviet vice-commissar for foreign affaire, told Japanese Ambassador Tameklch! Ota that the situation did not permit “waiting pacifically for development of events.” He declared "serious responsibility” would fall on the shoulders of tb* Japanese government if the fighting to Outer Mougolia were allowed to continue. At the same time the Mancbukuo government issued a warning that unless the Outer Mongolian government “takes Immediate steps te terminate all kinds of provocations against Manchukuo's frontiers, the relations of the two countries are threatened with the most serious contingency.” Hachiro Arita, who became foreign minister Japan, said he did not think the border incidents would ore as up relations out a recurrence would be dangerous. r.

WASHINGTON.—Some years ago when Reed Smoot of Utah was a memher of the senate Smoot*a where he enjoyed a Prooftecv tong and meritorious service, he ventured a prophecy. It was this: "The cost of government has increased every yeqr, and It will continue to I care not what party Is in power, 'that result will obtain.* / As I recall.. Senator Smoot’s statement was made about eight years ago and it was made at a time when the Republicans, of whom the Utah senator was one, were in control in the senate. Hi* statement came as a result of an immense amount of jibes that were being hurled at the Republican majority. The Democrats were having a grand time, kidding the Republicans who were then in complete control of the government Senator Smoot recognized that which few in responsible positions in the government recognized, or If they did recognize the fact they chose not to admit it Nevertheless, the senator’s statement is true today as it was true w’hen he made it and for many years before. The Smoot prophecy comes to mind now because of the sudden acceleration of moves to curtail government expenses, to reorganize the scads of New Deal and emergency agencies, to eliminate overlapping functions among these agencies, and, in general, to put the house of government in order. Two such efforts are underway. One of them was Initiated by Senator Harry F. Byrd, Virginia Democrat, who succeeded in obtaining senate recognition of his charges that there was tremendous waste, that there were useless agencies and that. In addition, governmental functions were being generally messed up because none except the old-established units of government knew what they were doing. The Virginia senator obtained adoption of a resolution providing for a general survey and recommendations for the clean-up. It was a situation in which even the most ardent New Dealers could not find an excuse for objecting to it So the senator took the lead. Subsequently, President Roosevelt reached the conclusion that something ought to be done In the way of untangling the tangled skein of governmental functions so he proposed a survey under his direction. He appointed a committee of so-called experts to go over the problem. Thus, at the start, at least. It appears that the taxpayers are going to be favored by a break. I think it ought to be added, however, that no one bas had the temerity to suggest that either the Byrd survey or that engineered by Mr. Roosevelt will yield very much. • • • The survey promoted by Senator Byrd will dig up a good many helpful facts but there is Dig Up every reason to beHelpful FacttUe™ that the Virginia senator will find many obstacles placed In his way •nd that he and hi* committee will be unabie to present any comprehensive statement on their findings to the country in advance of the November elections. The same is true concerning the survey directed by the President, only more so. The cold fact is that there Is no chance at all for the President’s committee to-even approach the stage of making recommendations from their survey until long after the elections are held. Frankly, each of these surveys 1* permeated with politics, so much so that a straightforward accounting or general description of the affairs of government will not be allowed to become public property and thereby become a campaign issue. Os the two, Senator Byrd’s proposal has the better chance, but that is j rather small. Adverting to the Smoot prophecy, it to therefore of no great importance whether a thoroughgoing examination of the governmental structure that has grown up in the last three years under President Roosevelt Is made to advance of the elections. These New Deal agencies have been created and these New Deal agencies, like many of the “Old Deal” agencies, are with u* to stay and suck up taxpayers' money for quite some time. I need only remind you that we still have In existence the War Finance corporation and the railroad administration that were created as war-time agencies, not to mention a dozen other simitar units. It is possible, Indeed. I think It Is probable, that there will be • trimming of pay roll* to many of the New Deal agencies Immediately after election. There certainly ought to be important curtailment of expense* and of the list of employee*, but accomplishing that 1* a matter much more easily de■cribed than done. So, I fed safe in •aylng that *ll of this ado about a rodaction to governmental swelling amounts to nothing more than Ju*t*do. • • • In making the statement above that the enter? about reducing the government , pay roll and untangNew Dpm Ung the functions to J«« « Hch hoc, I think It ought to be said at the Mme time that New Deal spirit* are rising. There was a time a few months ago when the national trend wa* decidedly agatont Mr. RooMvelL It even went M far a* to mom many individuals to My that Mr. RooMvelt would be defeated for reflection. The picture around the first of April wm quite different There te In Washington quite a general feeling that the Roosevelt reflection chance* have Improved and are continuing to improve. This condition I* quite evident to observers continuously on the Job here tor even to the personal manner ta the President htaaself there te an outward appearance that he believes the situation is well te teteL

A» far as I can discover, one reason why the New Dealers feel so much better is that events leading up to the national Democratic convention seem to be cleared of any harassing possibilities. . I am sure that It will be recalled how something like the blues overcame many New Deal stalwarts after former Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, I 1928 Democratic Presidential candidate, let loose a blast at the New Deal in his Liberty league dinner speech. I happened to be in a position to know that the Smith speech caused all kinds i of. commotion and fear among New i Deal leaders. They know, as everyone i else knows, that “Al” Smith has a big i personal following. When he threatened “to take a walk,” he let~loose 1 a declaration that was charged with | dynamite and the New Dealers could J not calculate how much dynamite. Now, however. It appears quite cer- i tain that much of the danger inherent in the Smith declaration has been eliminated. Notwithstanding the Smith indictment of the President for repudiation of platform promises and his description of the Roosevelt policies as “a national menace," there is going to be a pitifully small number of antiNew Deal Democrats in the Philadelphia convention. The number will be so small, In fact, that however vociferous they become, their shouts will be heard no more than the wail of a child in a storm. It was to be expected, as I have reported to you before, that the routine type of Democratic politician will forget any differences he has with the New Deal and be regular at convention time and during most of the campaign. That type of politician, be he Republican or Democratic, cannot afford to bolt. If he bolts, he cuts off his own nose and most politicians do not enjoy being de-nosed for that is tantamount to being politically dehorned. So. while the Philadelphia convention of the Democrats may have some seething underneath the surface, it is without the realm of possibility that there can be any important revolt against renomination of Mr. Roosevelt. Likewise, it Is just as far-fetched to think that the platform which that convention will adopt for the campaign will not be exactly as Mr. Roosevelt I dictates It Actually, there is nothing on the horizon now to Indicate any changes from the way I have just described it . • • Inasmuch as the New Dealers can properly regard their situation pretty well in hand, they G. O. P. naturally can feel a tn a Hole b,t c°<*y over difficulties in the Republican ranks. First, the Republicans are at a disadvantage in that their convention in Cleveland is to be held at an earlier date than the Democrats meet This, however, Is more real than apparent It Is thus because of the Intra-party battles that appear certain to come to the surface at Cleveland. The Republicans are not together, not unified, on anything. A half dozen candidates with appreciable followings are snapping at each other and two or three factions are announcing almost simultaneously what the platform Is going to say. It just cannot help leading Into beautiful mess at Cleveland unless the Republican leaders show more intelligence than they have shown thus far. « In the meantime, the Democrats are making note of the various battle charges. You can be sure they will use them. Whoever the Republicans nominate at Cleveland necessarily faces a big fight but as the situation now stands, I think the Democrats will be able to make it an offensive campaign whereas ordinarily the party in power must give over much of its campaigning to a defense. This is true unless the Republicans can get together and take the offensive themselves by criticizing and attacking on a ut ed front, j Os course, much water can run un- i der the bridge before the November election. It is always possible that I the party in power can make mistakes, < can be led into a blind alley under the political guns of its opposition. The Democrats have made many mistakes already but the anti-New Deal opposition shows no indication of plans to take advantage of those mistakes. So th* circumstance*, a* of this time, give every reason for the New Dealers to feel satisfied with the campaigning up to this time. c WMtara Nvwwaow Unto*.

Ambulance Speeds Laundry but Siren Worries Driver The driver of a Baltimore laundry truck, bound downtown recently, was startled to hear a siren whine just behind him. He looked into the rear-vision mirror and saw a municipal ambulance. Sensing an emergency, he stepped on the “gas,” and pulled to the side of the street, but the ambulance kept dodging to the rear. After passing several intersections, he decided to get out of the way completely and turned to the right at the next corner. The ambulance, with its siren going full-tilt, followed. A block farther he pulled to the side and stopped. The ambulance drew up directly behind. “I tried to get you to stop,” said the ambulaiice driver.
