The Alamance gleaner VOL. LXII. GRAHAM, IN, C., THURSDAY MARCH 19, 1936. NO. 7. By Edward^^W. Pickard 0 Western Newspaper Union Hitler Rearms Rhineland; Other Nations Protest EUROPE'S <ftgS of war were growl ing ominously and tugging at their chains, but those chains, being forged In England, seemed likely to stand the strain. Relchsfuehrer Hitler brought on the new crisis by his abrupt and dramatic action In denouncing the Lo carno treaty and re militarizing the Rhine la n d. H e f 1 r 9 1 In formed the ambassa dors of the countries signatory to the pact as to what he Intend ed, and then delivered a ringing speech In Adolf Hitler the hastily summoned relchstag, elo quently defending hHl action. At the same time Hitler was sending Into the formerly demilitarized strip along the Rhine some 25,000 troops of all arms. This he declared was a "symbolic" army, and in his public ut terances he asserted that Germany was not thus making a warlike move and did not desire war, but was determined to defend herself. He upheld his uni lateral abrogation of the Locarno treaty on the ground that France had already violated it by making a mutual assistance agreement with Russia, which- pact is pending in the French senate. To show his desire for peace, he offered a plan which includes: A demilitarized strip of German, French and Belgian land ; a 25-year non-aggres sion. treaty among Germany, France and Belgium, with Great Britain and Italy as guarantors; inclusion of the Netherlands in the system of pacts; and air pact with the western powers; a non-aggression pact with Germany's eastern neighbors, including Lithuania; and return of Germany to the League of Nations after her equality is estab lished and her sovereignty restored. Reaction in the capitals of Europe was quick and In some cases almost violent. Premier Albert Sarraut of France appealed to the League of Na tions, asking that sanctions against Germany he applied. He also called a meeting of the signatories to the Locarno pact In a radio address he warned Hitler that France would not stand for his action, and asserted that the reichsfuehrer's new plan was not at all acceptable. Meanwhile there was intense military activity along the eastern frontier, and within a few hours the Maginot line, that wonder ful system of border fortifications built since the World war, was completely manned. L.. Italy's position In this squabble was interesting. Called on by France to support the protest against Germany, Mussolini took full advantage of the situation to get all he could for his own cause. He promise^ to stand by France and uphold the Locarno pact If the league would slacken the sanc tions that were imposed on Italy as a result of her Ethiopian adventure Poland gave assurance that she would carrv out faithfully her obligations un der "the Franco-Polish accord; and the nations of the little entente not only promised support but warned France that if she did not bring Germany to time they might be forced to abandon their alliance with France. Now it devolved on Great Britain, real arbiter of peace or war, to define her stand, for France demanded full support in return for the assurances she had given when trouble in the Mediterranean. The British statesmen refused to get excited over the affair and it was left to Capt. An thony Eden, youthful foreign secre tarv to set forth his government s po sition. After consultation with Prime Minister Baldwin and others of the cabinet, Eden appeared before the house of commons and declared that any attack on France or Belgium in violation of the Locarno treaty would force Great Britain to go to their a* sistance. He added, however, that he was thankful to say there was no rea son to suppose "the present German action implies a threat, of hostilities Eden said he had already protested to Ambassador Von Hoesch against the military re-occupation of <be nh>?* land, telling him the effect on Brit ish public opinion would be deplorable. -The abrogation of the Locarno pact ind the occupation of the demilitarized tone " declared Eden, "have profoundly shaken confidence in any engagement in which Germany may In the future enter. It strikes a severe blow at the principle of the sanctity of treaties which underlies the whole structure of international relations. ' Eden Indicated Great Britain was willing to consider llelchsfuehrer Hit ler's proposals for new peace cove nant* t Senators tn Washington who ex pressed any opinion were unanlmoos in saying that the United States must be kept out of any European war, regard less of developments. Power Plans of TVA Blocked by Court QLANS to furnish TVA power to the * city of Enoxville, Tenn., under a project to be financed with PWA funds were blocked by a temporary restrain ing order issued by the District of Columbia Supreme court. The order was granted on the peti tion of the Tennessee Public Service company which contended its $4,000, 000 Investment in Knoxvllle would be rendered practically worthless, If the government brought cheaper power Into the city. Also in the District SupreOie court, 66 producers of soft coal attacked the Guftey coal control act as unconstitu tional in its entirety on the ground that It Invades the rlght3 of the states and deprives producers of their prop erty without due process of law. Seizure of Telegrams to Be Investigated THE senate adopted a resolution In troduced by Senator Borah requir ing the federal communications com mission to make a full report on Its "alleged seizures" of private telegrams for Senator Black's committee on lobbying. Senator Steiwer of Oregon attacked the doings and methods of the Black committee, contending the right* of citizens were being Infringed. Mr. Black made a heated defense. Move Toward Peace in Italo-Ethiopian War THROCGH its committee of thir teen the League of Nations ap pealed to Benito Mussolini and Em peror Baile Selassie to consent to im mediate negotiations for an end to hos tilities and a definite re-establishment o f Italo-Ethlopian peace. Though consideration of the proposal by his cabinet council was delayed a few days, Mussolini accepted the plan in principle as a basis for conference. It was made plain that Italy would not take the initiative and Giuseppe Motta would retain occupied territory. Halle Selassie accepted the proposal without reservation. In recent days his armies in the northern sector hare been routed In big battles and haTe lost many thousands of men, and the Italians have penetrated far toward the Interior of the country; and In the South the Invaders were prepar ing for a rapid advance. Back of the league's appeal was the standing threat of extension of sanc tions to Include an embargo on oil. This suddenly brought about a situa tion rather disconcerting for the league. Dr. Giuseppe Motta, Swiss foreign minister, gave a warning that If the oil embargo was applied his country might feel it necessary to leave the league In order to preserve Its neutrality If the consequent threat ened war in Europe resulted. Koki Hirota Forms New Cabinet for Japan KOKI HIROTA, former foreign min ister,, formed a new ministry for Japan and submitted the names to the emperor. He, besides being pre mier, takes tne ror elgn minister's port folk). Meut.Gen.Count Juichl Tarauchl is put In as minister of war and Admiral Osaml Nagano as minister of navy.

Hacbiro Arlta, new Japanese am bassador to China, told the press In Shanghai that "It Is fundamental tbat China recognizes Vlanchukuo and tbat tbe otber North Cblna questions should be settled oo tbe spoLt , Free Rein for A1 Smith in Party Convention JAMES J. FARLEY, chairman of the Democratic national committee, let It be known that the party chieftains would make no effort to keep A1 Smith out of the national convention In Phila delphia If he Is elected a delegate and presents proper credentials. And once he Is seated, there will be no attempt to keep him from speaking his mind. Administration leaders, It was repre sented, believe Mr. Roosevelt will dominate the convention so completely that no attack by Smith or anyone else on the New Deal can have any considerable effect. Heroic Army Aviator Killed in Crash Lieut, robert k. giovannoli of Lexington, Ky? hero of the spectacular bombing plane crash dur ing army tests at Dayton, Ohio, last October, was killed In a crackup of bis army plane at Logan field, Baltimore. Glovannoll's single seated pursuit plane lost Its right wing comjng out of a glide and hurtled down In a crazy spin from an altitude of less than 500 feet. House Committee Busy With New Tax Program CONGRESSMAN SAM B. HILL of Washington and his subcommittee of the house ways and means com mittee took up the heavy task of de termlnlng how the new revenue of $1, 137,000,000 called for by President Roose velt should be raised. Treasury officials rec ommended that an av erage tax of 33% per cent should be levied on undivided corpor ation profits and a tax of 00 per cent on all refunded or un paid AAA processing taxes. ' In this the Rep. S. B. Hill flscal experts followed the suggestions of Mr. Roosevelt. They told the sub committee that the proposed corpor ation surplus tax would yield the gov ernment $620,000,000 annually. The President has estimated that this amount will be needed to finance the new farm program and the soldier bonus. The so-called "windfall" tax on processors who successfully challenged the AAA in the courts. It was be lieved, would yield another $200,000, 000. This will be used to reimburse the treasury for losses suffered as a result of the Supreme court's invalida tion of AAA. There remains an ad ditional $317,000,000 which It Is pro posed to raise through excise taxes on a wide range of farm processors. Chairman Hill said the experts and the members of the subcommittee were agreed that the tax on undivided sur plus should not apply to banks and life Insurance companies. There was wide divergence of opin ion concerning this tax among lead ers In congress. Senator James Ham ilton Lewis of Illinois, Democrat, for Instance, declared himself against It as an unnecessary additional burden on business and indicated he would sup port, Instead, a plan to tax the in come from federal securities now ex empt. Senator Borah, Republican, said that in principle he endorsed the plan of taxing undistributed earnings, while Senator Hastings of Delaware, also Republican, denounced It as "con fiscatory." Chain Store Practice* Hit by Two Bills SENATOR BORAH and Senator Van Nays of Indiana, the latter i Dem ocrat, introduced a bill directed against certain practices of the chain stores. The measure would make It unlawful for any person engaged In commerce to grant any discount, rebate, allow ance or advertising service charge to a purchaser over that available to the purchasers' competitors. It also woold prohibit sales "at prices lower than those exacted by said person elsewhere In the United States for the purpose of destroying competition or eliminat ing a competitor." The so-called Robinson -Patmna anti moncpoly bill, also aimed at chain stores, will be passed by the senste before very long, according to a prom ise made by Senator Robinson to a mass meeting of 1,900 independent mer chants who went to Washington to lob by for the measure. Boom for Landon la Progressing Well GOVEUNOK LAN DON'S boom for the Republican ('residential nomi nation is progressing In a way that must be pleasing to his supporters. Kansas Republicans In a state conven tion pledged him the state's 18 dele gates to the Cleveland convention, de claring him to be "the beat-fitted can didate." That Kansas should support Its governor Is natural and expected, but be also la garnering a good many | delegates elsewhere, and Indorsement In some states where the delegates are , unlnatrocted Their Activities Resented by Moscow THESE are some "of tbe Japanese-Manehukuo troops that are getting so busy along tbe Outer llongollan border tbat Soviet Russia bas angrily protested.

BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS A DIFFERENT CAME OF HIDE AND SEEK ONCE more Llghtfoot the Deer was playing hide and seek In the Green Forest. But It wag a different game than the one he had played Just a short time before. You remember that then It had been for bis life that he had played ? he was the one who had done all the hiding. Now, he was "it," and some one else was doing the hiding. Instead of the dreadful fear which had filled him In that other game, he was now filled with longing, longing to make friends with the beau tiful stranger of whom he bad caught Just a glimpse, but of whom every day he found tracks. At times Llghtfoot would lose his temper. Yes, sir, Llghtfoot would lose his temper. That was a foolish thing to do, but It seemed to him that he Just couldn't help it. He would stamp his feet angrily and thrash the bushes with his great spreading antlers as If they were an enemy with whom he was fighting. More than once when he did this a great pair of great, soft, gentle eyes were watching him, though he didn't know It. If he could bare seen them and the look of admiration In them he would have been more eager than ever to find that beautiful stranger. At other times Llghtfoot wonld steal about through the ' Green Forest as noiselessly as a shadow. He would peer Into thickets and behind tangles of fallen trees and brush piles, hop ing to surprise the one he sought. He would be very, very patient. Perhaps he would come to a thicket which he knew from the signs the stranger had left only a few moments before. Then his patience would vanish in Impa tience and he would dash ahead eager to catch up with the shy stranger. But always it was in vain. He had thought himself very clever, but -this stranger was proviog herself more clever. Of course It wasn't long before all the little people In the Green Forest knew what was going on. They knew all about that game of hide and seek Just as they had known all about that other game of hide and seek with the hunters. But now, Instead of trying to help Llghtfoot as they did then, they gave him no help at -all. The fact Is they were enjoying that game. Mischievous Sammy Jay even went so far as to warn the stranger sev eral times when Llghtfoot was ap proaching. Of coarse Llghtfoot knew GIQUGAG$?> 1 ? --.f - I "We don't like to mention the butch er shope and such," says house-keep ing Hortense, "but the etock market ian't the only place that sells short" ?

Once Lightfoot al most ran smack Into Buster Boar, and was so provoked by his own careless ness that Instead of bounding away he actually threatened to light Bus ter. But when Boster grinned good naturedly at him Lightfoot thought better of It and bounded away to con tinue his search. Then there were times when Light foot would sulk and would declare over and over to himself: "I don't care anything about that stranger. I won't spend another minute looking for her." And then within five min utes he would be watching, listening, and seeking some sign that she was still in the Green Forest. e T. W. Burriaa. ?
