French Stand Delicate ' The same condition, it was said, annlies to any new "Locarno' pact which might be formed since. without Italy s support, any agree ment reached would be merely aa Anglo-French pact. The position, of Plerre-Eltlenna Flandln. French foreign minister. was made delicate "by Italy' stand.. The demand in France for sanc tions against Italy was said to b so strong he was, In effect, placed in the position of saying: "I can't go back to France and toll the French people they are leas important than Ethiopia; Emper or Halle Selassie can get what we can't." - .-,-. Note to Hitler Rumored Ambassador von Hoesch re mained in the foreign office only a short time. He said he had not talked to Locarno signatories, but he declined to say whether he had talked to Anthony Eden, the Brit ish foreign secretary. : It was rumored through White hall that Eden had given the Gor man envoy a request signed by Great Britain, France, Belgium and Italy that Hitler make a con ciliatory move. , ' Combined with the foreign of fice announcement of an "open door," observers were given the impression that tbe British wot still hopeful that the Interna tional situation might be enaed and the impasse Between Germany and France broken peacefully. - TAX SCHEDULE WASHINGTON, March IS (P) A house ways an dmeans sub committee today announced "ten tative"' agreement on B ached nl of rates and brackets for a tag on undistributed corporate earn ings, the key proposal In the 'id ministration' new tax prograuw
