Diplomatic Circles
Are Skeptical of
Franco-Reich Pact
Eastern Europe and Not
Boundaries Has Been
Main Trouble
By PERTINAX.
PARIS. Dec. 7 (N.A.N.A.).—Diplo
matic circles here are not inclined
to attach too much importance to
the Franco-German declaration
signed yesterday.
The explanation of the skepticism
professed by most observers is that
controversies about common fron
tiers have, for a long time, been
pushed to the background by both
France and Germany. The rela
tions of both countries with third
powers, and particularly with those
of Central and Eastern Europe, are
really at the root of the warlike dan
ger they have to face from time to
time.
Obviously the German Reich
strives for hegemony, while France s
traditional policy is to enter into
commitments toward the Slavic na
tions in order to provide some kind
of equilibrium. In that respect, the
Franco-German declaration leaves
things very much as they were, and
the talk between French Foreign
Minister Bonnet and German For
eign Minister von Ribbentrop which
followed signature of the declara
tion does not seem to have brought
any new factor into play.
Apprehensions for Poland.
Von Ribbentrop did not conceal
in the least his government’s fun
damental hostility to Bolshevism,
and he dealt with the problem of
the Ukraine in such a way as to
make his French interlocutors <M.
Bonnet was assisted by General Sec
retary Leger of the ministry of for
eign affairs) apprehensive lest Po
land should be involved in turmoil.
At the same time, the German for
eign minister does not appear to
have exerted himself very much to
wrest from M. Bonnet a promise to
the effect that France would not
lend more assistance to Warsaw and
Moscow in the forthcoming months
than she did to Czechoslovakia last
September.
Von Ribbentrop behaved as though
he were convinced that his best
course was to let M. Bonnet find
out by himself his own line of ad
vance, as Germany ought not to be
afraid of what he would attempt to
accomplish.
So as to conciliate French policy,
win its assent to the German design
and further disgruntle French asso
ciates in the East, there are indi
cations that Von Ribbentrop de
clared France might profitably share
in the trade of Central and East
ern Europe provided she refrained
from challenging Germany's domi
nant position in that part of the
continent.
It has been expected during the
last few days that M. Bonnet would
seize the opportunity to compel Von
Ribbentrop to indicate to what ex
tent the German Reich was bound
to support Fascist Italy in her
Spanish, Mediterranean and North
African undertakings, but the
French minister does not appear to
have been really exacting in his
cross-examination of the German
foreign minister on that point.
Therefore, M. Bonnet entertains to
night the complacent belief that
German influence is likely to act as
a brake upon Italian impetuosity.
Reich Hants Free Hand.
To sum up, the truth is that the
German rulers wish above every
thing else to have a free hand in
Eastern Europe; that they expect
more or less that, in practice, France
will not seriously interfere with
their plans, but they do not regard
It as possible that the French cabi
net will formally pledge itself, in
ao many words, to remain neutral;
that they mean to stick to their con
nection with Italy, but are resolved
to see to it that Fascist diplomacy,
for purposes of its own, shall not
make them swerve from their main
line of action.
The conclusion to be drawn from
the above is that the Franco-Ger
man declaration and the exchange
of views now in progress will not
materially alter the European situ
ation as it has existed since Munich.
Of today’s happenings Premier
Daladier and M. Bonnet will make
use in order to add some plausibility
to the theory that the settlement of
September 30 has really opened up
an era of pacification, and the Ger
man government will use it to con
vince its own people that they need
not feel too deplv disturbed by the
moral condemnation that the Brit
ish and American nations have
passed upon their pogrom.

N.W., who was in the office on busi
ness.
Mr. Ciroli, it was said, recovered
the money and returned it to Mrs.
Leeth. Mr. Ciroli testified he saw
the defendant near Mrs. Leeth's
desk during her absence. When he
learned her money was missing he
ran into the corridor, followed the
defendant, he said, and found the
money hidden in the man's cap.
On the stand Cummings admitted
taking the money, but insisted he
intended to put it back. He did not

he left the room following the theft.
Judge McMahon referred the case
to the probation officer for investiga
tion and report.
Mrs. Leeth came to see Mr. Kin

U.S. Housing Authority
To Wind Up Loans on
Low-Rent Projects
Added Earmarkings of
$70,000,000 Tomorrow
To Exhaust Funds
Exactly one year from the day the
United States Housing Authority
made its first earmarking of funds
for a low-rent housing project, Ad
ministrator Nathan Straus tomor
row will allocate practically the last
dollar of the remaining amount
available for loans.
To date the U. S. H. A. has set
aside $576,000,000 for projects in 142
cities, including the District of Co
lumbia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Tomorrow additional earmarkings
of about $70,000,000 will be an
nounced for projects in a large num
ber of municipalities. Fifteen new
cities are to be added to the list,
making 157 in all participating in the
Nation-wide program.
There will also be announced
presidential approval of some $30,
000,000 in contracts with various
cities.
Out of the $800,000,000 capital pro
vided by Congress for the rehousing
program approximately $650,000,000
has been reserved for earmarking.
The U. S. H. A. loans are for 90
per cent of the cost of the project,
the local community putting up the
remaining 10 per cent. That would
leave ordinarily $720,000,000 which
the U. S. H. A. would loan.
A 10 per cent margin of safety
was figured into every contract and
earmarking, which reduced the
actual amount available for loans
to about $650,000,000. No doubt,
after projects are completed, this
10 per cent margin of safety will
bring back into the fund a con
siderable amount for other loans,
but that prospect is at least a year
distant.
The U. S. H. A. also contributes
3'2 per cent of the total cost of a
project in the form of a Federal
subsidy to be applied in reducing
rents to a social, rather than an
economic level.
The subsidy fund for this year is
$28,000,000. Administrator Strauss
will have to appeal to Congress for
at least $31,000,000 in subsides, for
the next fiscal year, due to an error
of computation made when U. S.
H. A. funds were first made.
Congress had computed the sub
sidy on $720,000,000, deducting the
10 per cent of the cost of projects
which local communities would
meet. The United States Housing
Act states, however, the subsidy
should not be in excess of the total
cost of a project, including the 10
per cent local contribution.

The officer followed Mrs. Leeth to
the corridor. He said he requested
her to return and a discussion fol
lowed during which she struck him.
The officer then informed Mrs.
Leeth, he reported, that she was

W. P. A. job. He said he had lived
off and on in Washington for many
years and recently was discharged
from a veterans’ hospital in Colum

Conflicting Theories
Of Government
Gilbert Lewis Hall, prominent
Washington attorney and Arlington
County (Va.) civic leader, was
elected to succeed Dr. Arthur Camp
Stanley as governor of the District
of Columbia Society of Colonial
Wars at the 46th annual meeting of
the group held last night in the
Mayflower Hotel.
A member of the firm of Clephane,
Latimer & Hall and of the faculty
of George Washington University
Law School. Mr. Hall has been af
filiated with the District Society
since 1922 and an officer for the
past nine years. He is on the Ar

the county Board of Zoning Appeals.
His membership in the society is
based on the fact that an ancestor,
Peregrine White, was born on the
Mayflower in Cape Cod Harbor, the
first child born to Pilgrim parents in
New England.
Richardson Speaks.
Seth W. Richardson, former As
sistant Attorney General of the
United States, discussed “Our Con
stitutional History and Future” at
the dinner which preceded the elec
tion.
Warning that concentration of
power in the hands of the Federal
Government was contrary to the
original theory of a Federal Gov
ernment of powers limited strictly
by the Constitution, Mr. Richardson
declared the United States stood
in the midst of a “crisis,” at a “cross
roads.”
“A strong dominant Federal Gov
ernment with weak States and cur
tailment of individual rights can
not be harmonized with the con
stitutional theory of a Federal Gov
ernment of limited authority with
strong State governments, and the
fullest of individual rights in the
citizen,” he said.
“We must choose one way or
the other,” he said, “and we can
not choose something of each. Two
conflicting theories of government
are involved, and life for one means
death to the other.”
Other Officers Named.
Others elected at the meeting in
cluded Laurence Leonard, deputy
governor; William Howe Somervell,
lieutenant governor; Harryman Dor
sey, secretary; Richard Epps Shands,
deputy secretary; Robert Copeland
Jones, treasurer; Mahlon Hopkins
Janney, registrar; Dr. Henry R.
Evans, deputy registrar; Dr. Walter
A. Wells, historian; Dr. Thomas E.
Green, chaplain; Col. Edward A.
Harriman, chancellor; Lt. Col. Edgar
Erskine Hume, surgeon, and Albert
B. Van Voorhees, custodian of the

bership committee includes Mr. Jan
ney, chairman; Dr. Roscoe J. C.
Dorsey, Dr. Edson L. Whitney, Dr.

i
France and Reich
Discuss Troubles
Confronting Pact
Von Ribbentrop-Bonnet
Talks Will Resume
This Afternoon
BACKGROUND—
As climax to Munich confer
ence, which dismembered Czecho
slovakia, Prime Minister Cham
berlain and Reichsfuehrer Hitler
signed a war-renunciation agree
ment. This was followed No
vember 16 by Mr. Chamberlain
putting into force "Easter pact"
with Italy, and yesterday Ger
man Foreign Minister von Rib
bentrop and French Foreign
Minister Bonnet also signed ac
cord for avoidance of war.
Franco-Italian pact talks have
bogged down.
By the Associated Pres*.
PARIS, Dec. 7.—France and Ger
many, having signed their agree
ment to try to avoid war, today
talked over differences which might
lead them to break that promise in
the future.
The talks between Foreign Min
isters Joachim von Riboentrop and
Georges Bonnet, which began yes
terday and were to continue this
afternoon, were said in informed
quarters to have established Ger
many's position as follows:
1. Germany will not Immediately
press any colonial demands for her
self.
2. Germany will not at present
back Italy's loud though unofficial
demands for Tunisia or Corsica.
50-Minute Talk Held.
Von Ribbentrop was believed to
have told M. Bonnet just that in
their 50-minute talk last night. The
German press stated with emphasis,
however, that the new German
French war renunciation pact in no
way detracted from the solidarity of
the Rome-Berlin axis.
3. Germany now has no desire
to establish herself south of the
Pyrenees and is supporting the
Spanish insurgents chiefly because
of Italy's demands on her as an
axis partner.
In exchange for these pledges,
well-informed French sources said,
Germany wants France to do noth
ing to stop her economic-political
drive in Eastern Europe, bringing
her ever closer to the Russian
Ukraine.
That, according to French sources,
means that Germany wants France
to declare that the French-Russian
mutual assistance pact is really in
operative, so that Germany could
feel safer on the west in the event
of a German-Russian conflict.
Answer Believed Vague.
Few sources ventured to give M.
Bonnet's answer to the reported
German stand, but most agreed it
was vague.
Pertinax, writing in Premier Dala
dier's Radical-Socialist party news
paper LOeuvre, declared, however,
that M. Bonnet would “defend
Russia and Poland no better than
he defended Czecho-Slovakia.”
Many newspapers ran the story
of the signing of the friendship pact
yesterday and Von Ribbentrop s visit
next to other stories whose head
lines must have caught his eye.
One of them said: “Violent anti
French demonstrations in Rome,
Milan and Turin.” Another said:
Germany's reorganized army will
number 950,000 men.”
Better Result Expected.
Many French leaders viewed the
pact and talks with misgivings. So
cialist ex-Premier Leon Blum, writ
ing in his newspaper Le Populaire,
said "After Munich we expected
something better.”
Henri de Kerrilis. Rightist deputy,
wrote in L'Epoque that the pact was
"Empty but dangerous. Each day
Bonnet clears the road further for
Germany.”
The Leftist press emphasized the
complete lack of enthusiasm with
which Parisians greeted Von Rib
bentrop and the unusual measures
taken to assure his protection.
In none of the German foreign
minister s appearances on the street
yesterday did the crowds on the
sidewalks cheer him. Two thousand
police and thousands of mobile
guards with fixed bayonets guarded
his arrival.
Capt. John A. Sutter, on whose
land gold was first discovered in
California, died a poor man.

Jury Panel of 100
Is Drawn for Canal
Espionage Trial
First of Four Germans
Facing Prosecution
For Photographs
By the A»*oct»ted Press.
CRISTOBAL, Canal Zone, Dec. 7.
—A special panel of 100 jurors was
drawn today for the trial of Hans
Heinrich Shackow, employe of the
German Haphag-Lloyd Steamship
Line, on a charge of photographing
fortifications in the vital Panama
Canal Zone.
The 26-year-old defendant was
the first of four youthful Germans
to go on trial in Cristobal's first
espionage case.
Jury Panel of 100.
A defense motion for a continu
ance was overruled at the opening
session. A second motion challeng
ing the entire jury panel on grounds
of prejudice was made by Shackow's
counsel.
The motion charged bias, since
many of the jurors are Government
employes or live in Government
owned dwellings, and the Govern
ment is the party allegedly in
jured. Federal Judge Bunk Gard
ner took the motion under advise
ment.
Interest in the case was so great
that Canal Zone police were taking
stringent measures to prevent over
crowding of the small courtroom,
which seats 208.
Arrested October 16.
Shackow, arrested October 16 with
a 19-year-old German girl, Ingebord
Waltraunt Gutmann; Gisbert Wil
helm, Gross, 26, and Edward Robert
Kuhrig, 29, was said by District
Attorney J. J. McGuigan to have
admitted photographing gun em
placements within Fort Randolph.
McGuigan stated that the men
defendants had served in the Ger
man Army and Navy and were well
versed in military tactics.
“We have testimony,” he said,
“showing that these defendants
knew it was prohibited to take pho
tographs of anything within Fort
Randolph, but nevertheless they did
actually take photographs, includ
ing certain gun emplacements."
The four were charged with un
lawfully obtaining information af
fecting the national defense, and
are liable, if convicted, to fines of
$1,000 each, one year imprisonment,
or both. It was believed likely they
would be deported, if found guilty.
French Minister
Snubs Germans
In Pad Ceremonies
Navy, Colonial Officials
Refuse to Attend
Festivities
By Kadlo to Tne Btar.
PARIS. Dec. 7.—At least one mem
ber of the French cabinet showed
emphatic displeasure with yester
day's conclusion of a war-renuncia
tion pact between France and Ger
many, it became known today.
While Foreign Minister Georges
Bonnet of France and his German
colleague. Col. Joachim von Ribben
trop, were signing their mutual
frontier guarantee in the famous
Cloak Room of the foreign office, Ce
sar Campinchi, minister of the navy,
was refusing to associate with a
German.
M. Campinchi made a scene at a
cabinet meeting yesterday morning
and then returned the invitation he
had received to the dinner tendered
by M. Bonnet in the evening in
celebration of the pact signature.
M. Campinchi denounced the entire
Franco-German declaration as a
"smoke screen.”
Both Georges Mandel, minister of
colonies, and Jean Zay, minister of
education, were not invited to the
Bonnet dinner—nominally, because
their appearance was not considered
necessary to the protocol; practi
cally, because M. Bonnet did not
wish to offend the Nazis by the pres
ence of two Jews.
The German Embassy, quick to
take advantage of this situation,
promptly added the names of the
cabinet's two Jews to the list of
guests at its own function. As, how
ever, these invitations arrived long
after those sent to other guests, M.
Mandel, for his part, refused to at
tend.
Germany's attempt to obtain a
sort of French moral backing for its
pograms, at least, has failed, in the
opinion of certain circles here.

Parade of Students to
Consulate is Turned
Back by Police
BACKGROUND—
Italian agitation for Tunisia,
French African possession, and
Corsica, French Mediterranean
island, began week ago with
demonstration in Italian Cham
ber of Deputies following speech
by Foreign Minister Count
Galeazzo Ciano. France pro
tested and Britain supported
French refusal to yield any of
her territory to Mussolini.
B» th* Associated Press.
ROME, Dec. 7.—A new anti
French demonstration in Naples
today continued the noisy Italian
agitation for African and Mediter
ranean territories held by France.
Classes were suspended at the
University of Naples as several hun
dred students walked out to march
on tjie French Consulate. At the
Consulate,? however, strong police
guards turned them back.
The demonstrators then paraded
through the main streets, waving
flags and shouting claims to Tunisia,
Corsica and Djibouti and acclaiming
Premier Mussolini. Tunisia, North
African protectorate; Corsica, Medi
terranean island, and Djibouti, Red
Sea terminus of the railway from
Addis Ababa, capital of Italian
Ethiopia, have been the chief French
possessions claimed in the past
week’s Italian clamor.
Demonstration at Florence.
A similar student demonstration
occurred at Florence. These mani
festations followed anti-French out
bursts yesterday in Rome, where the
French Embassy still was strongly
guarded today; Genoa, Milan and
Turin.
Italian afternoon papers kept the
agitation boiling. II Piccolo pub
lished an account of alleged anti
Italian measures in Tunisia under
headlines such as:
“New Series of Disgusting Incidents
in Tunisia—50 Italians Mobbed and
Beaten, Physician and His Wife and
Daughter Injured—School Teacher
Punched—Police Intervene to Arrest
Victims—Violent and Provocative
Language of the Franco-Jewish
Press.”
Other papers reported anti-Italian
developments in Tunisia "with the
evident connivance of the author
ities.”
II Popolo di Roma predicted that
Americans Must Hold

President Says
Mrs. Roosevelt Speaker
At Dinner for Jewish
National Fund
By the Auoclated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt said last night at a
dinner of the Jewish National Fund
that Americans “must hold our own
selves true to the things we believe
our forefathers founded this Nation
to stand for.”
“If we do that,” she said, **I be
lieve, with the other speakers, that
we will some day be able to see the
world returned to kindness, good
will and liberty.”
Proceeds o fthe dinner, for which
plates cost $25, will be used to estab
lish a new Jewish colony in North
ern Palestine to be named for Leon
Blum, former Premier of Prance.
Count Rene de Saint-Quentin,
French Ambassador to the United
States, was a guest of honor with
Mrs. Roosevelt. William Green,
president of the American Federa
tion of Labor, was toastmaster.
Mayor La Guardia also spoke.
The Ambassador said France, al
ways a “welcoming land” to refu
gees, was disposed to open its over
seas colonies to a “certain number”
of Jewish refugees. The French
government was prompt to second
President Roosevelt’s international
refugee program, he said, and now
harbors nearly 50,000 German Jews.
—___
Premier Daladier of France on a
visit to Corsica next month would
learn the abandonment in which
the paper said France had left that
Mediterranean island, while rt
Tunisia he would be able to learn
directly of the “intolerable situation
created for the Italian communitv
there.
Unless he revised French policxt
in African Tunisia, «the paper sa'd,
his visit would do France more harm
than good.
Italian students in a Tunisian
demonstration yesterday twice fried
to approach the French Embassy,
but were turned back by police.
