pTtANCK and Germany sign an
agreement pledging themselves
to "amicable discussion of diffi
culties instead of resorting-to arm
ed force."
It sounds like a victory for com
mon sense, doesn't it?
TJIJT on the saihe day this sens-ilde-soundin;
agreement is
signed by fleimatty ami France
Italy renews demands for a slice
of French territory in Africa, J he
demand, to tm sure, is unofficial,
but there is every reason to bfi

Q'
VUESTION:
If you were a hard -headed
Frenchman, inclined to look facts
in the face, just how much would
you say the newly-signed agree
ment with Germany is worth?
IF it had been inscribed on pa-
per, it might be worth the pa
per it Is written on, but we are
specifically informed (at f0 cents
a word for cable tolls, even at
press rates) that it is vriUen on
cream-colored sheets of vellum.
. H is exceedingly doubtful if ,the.
new French-German agreement is
worth that much.
yiirc point is that you can't
judge nations by what they
SAY they will do for, the chances
are, their fingers are crossed and
they don't mean It. You can judge

IMTIN'IIDE
I DELAKE, Dec. 12. (AP)
"Gravy train" voters were assailed
Saturday by Governor-Elect Charles
j A. Sprague in a victory banquet
i; . speech to -100 Lincoln county resi-
f dents.
"I shook hands with all but 14,-
l.i 000 of my voters before election
U and wondered why the additional
14.000 voted for me," said Sprague,
"Now i know. They all want places
on the gravy train."
The legislature, meeting January
9. faces a heavy schedule of fm
jmrtant legislation, with the relief
problem heading the list, Sprague
said.
f He listed as other important
measures to be considered distribu
tion of gas tax funds to cities,
equalization of education costs and
proposed increases for higher edu
cation, authorization of revenue
Loads for power districts and
smoothing out of disagreements
between labor dispute definitions
in the anti-picketlng bill and the

Sprague was hailed, before a
cheering audience, as presidential

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. (AP)
Administration leaders expressed
confidence today arfy congressional

Secretary Wallace. obviously

the new deal's control policies.
"The national farm program as a
whole, open to producers of ail
crops, will ro on, he said.

fAP) The pro-nazi Memel direc
tory, Hushed with what it term
ed a smashing victory in parlia
mentary elections yesterday, de
creed the end of Lithuanian po
lice powers today in this former
German territory.
The decree asserted only police
of autonomous Memel would be
permitted to control security of
the territory lying at Lithuania's
southwest corner adjoining Ger

rtjfnided as private citizen.-.
Pol it ical observers declared the
final decision as to any change
in the territoriay status of ?4em

expand along the Baltic, would be
mmle in Berlin, not Memel.
The Lithuanian government
which holds a somewhat nominal
sovereignty over Memel awaited
the return from Berlin of the Ger

be would bring precise German
proposals for the future of the dis
puted region.
A student strike was called in

An attempt to call a general
strike, however, failed. ; '
Students of the University of

picketed their buildings.
The strikes followed the nazl
victory in Memel and an emerg
ency decree "for protection of the
state" but the strikers demands
were not clearly specified.
Private sources In Kaunas said
more than 100 students had been
arrested before tlte strike but
many of them were released.
Mcmel's "horse doctor fuehrer,"
Ernst Neumann, 50-year-old veter
inarian, sounded a rallying crv
that "the time is ripe for a deci

He was backed by yesterday's
vote which showed over 90 per

ninety per cent of the region's
150,000 Inhabitants are of Herman
