FOUR POWERS
TO DISCUSS
ARMS ISSUE
LONDON. Feb. 22.—^P>— Great
Britain Friday opened negotiation*
directly with Russia, Germany and
Italy to determine the next step to
be taken for the general settlement
of the issues of European security
and armament.
It was understood that Great Brit
ain and France had come to an
agreement on what course to pursue
in view of the recent notes from
Germany and Russia.
In these notes, Germany said she
needed aviation protection in view
of Russian power and Russia in
sisted that Germany should agree
to the proposed eastern European
securities pact in its entirety.
The negotiations with Berlin and
Moscow are expected to decide the
agenda of talks between those gov
ernments and Sir John Simon,
British foreign secsetary, should he
go to those capitals.
It was understood in government
circles that Great Britain had the
hope Germany would sign military
guarantees with only her eastern
neighboring eountries—this act to
serve as a substitute for the Franco
Russian scheme for an eastern
pact upon which Russia insist*.
Meanwhile, Germany would be bar
red from the proposed air pact un
til the issues of secuirity and arma
ments should be settled.

REXTDGWE1L
TO STAY ON
WASHINGTON. Feb. M.—OF—
Rexford Guy Tugwell let It be known
Friday that he will continue aa
undersecretary of agriculture de
spite the hard knocks his school of
thought has encountered in the
AAA recently.
Weary of disagreements with
more conservative officials in the
agriculture adjustment administra
tion. Tugwell visited the White
House late Thursday Earlier he
bad been thinking of quitting his
present post to return to a profes
sorship at Columbia University or
to enter the relief and social se
curity breaches of the government.
But after talking with the president
be told newsmen he would stay
where he w*as.
Speculation Immediately arose as
to whether Tugwell might be merely
postponing his departure from agri
culture until another past is ready.
Relief and social security legisla
tion which provide a new assign
ment for him Is taking a slow
course through congress.
The possibility was suggested in
some quarters also that Chester C.
Davis, the farm administrator, who
favors more concessions to proces
sors and distributors of foods than
Tugwell. eventually might be the
one to go.
However. Secretary Wallace, who
likes Tugwell. recently upheld Davis
in a shakeup which swept several
of the liberal leader’s foremost fol
1 lowers out of the AAA.
