Peace or War Move
(Copyright 193a by '-he AP) .
LONDON. Feb 16 —Restorationj
ol confidence—by peaceful or force-
ful methods—m order to restore
prosperity wa* revealed Saturday .is
i he single purpose of the Anglo-
Frenrn-ltalian accords
Now the focus of European diplo-
macy. the accords were originally
convened by Prune Minister J. Ram-
say MacDonald and Foreign Secre-
tary Sir John Simon
They had orn single all-impor-
tant purpose for planning these
pact*—to bring about a revival of
economic prosperity in order to make
Great Britain's traditional position
in world affairs secure once more
oy a restoration of confidence on
the continent.
IX Germany enters the scheme in
a cooperative manner the confi-
dence-restoring plan will take the
peaceful road. 11 Germany chooses
to keep alool. Britain France and
Italy will form a powerful oomoina-
tion of armed loroes to assure peace
until normal trade makes the police-
man s club unnecessary.
This is the authoritative explana-
tion of the new European security
.-vstem now being pushed in the
many capitals of Europe
It was first revealed December 2»
chat such a system ol pacts was con-
templated They were just an idea
then now the full story has been
uncovered
Late in 1932 MacDonald lux con-
ceived the five-power declaration
which was eventually adopabd
granting to Germany a sort ol equal-
ity in principle This declaration was)
ambiguously interpreted in various
capitals and so never became the ef-
fective instrument of peace that
MacDonald hoped it would be.
Since then he and Simon have
striven tor something which woula
have power In it something which
would bring about confidence
The prime minister had a sern*s of
confidential and private luncheons
last November some of them wr.th
foreign diplomats whose opinions he
wanted He told them that he had m
.rind proposing some new security
scheme on the continent and that
he hoped it would be ready by the
tune the Saar plebiscite was over
MacDonald and Simon wens over
the entire ground and from then on
Simon became more or less the
leader of the scheme.
Both were faced with a difficult
situation. For political reasons at
home they could not publicly an-
nounce that Britain wanted to bind
itself nearer to the continent. An
election is coming and a fight on
the question before election was no:
wanted.
They also face the problem of get-
ting full French and Italian co-
operation An abrupt British plam
would not win those countries over
the British felt and so it was made
to appear that France and Italy
would start the ball rolling with
Britain at first a semt-silent part-
ner
Sir Eric Drummond ace ambassa-
dor and former secretary general of
the League of Nations at his post
In Rome did much of the early
work there and Sir George Clerk
ambassador to Pans handled the
matter there
In Berlin there was oon&iaerable
scouting by Sir Eric Phipps the am-
bassador. and Lord Allen of Hurt-
wood personal envoy of MacDon-
ald who carried personal messages f
to and from Adolf Hitler.
No particular opposition develop- j
ea here during the Rome meeting*
of France and Italy because of
course the goal could not be known.
When it gradually appeared that
Britain was to come into the pic-
ture MacDonald and Simon had
their fences built.
They could and did point out that
everything was being pushed over
the auspices of two already accept-
ed peace instruments the League of
Nation* and the Locarno pact.
Simon it is now learned took over
the whole plan personally about
Christmas time when he went to
France He did his own work both in
Pans and along the Italian border
and directed the entire affair. As
such a leader he is now accepted
by the diplomats as the one who gets
the credit for the latter phases. Mac-1
Donald for the first.
What is ahead?
The Bmish go- eminent ho pee that
be peaceful me*hod will win out.

hopes that Germany will become an
equal partner.
But Britain is well prepared- Ever!
since Stanley Baldwin Loru presi-I
dent of the council made it clear
in various statements last summer
that this country is aware of German
armed forces and German force m
the air and would protect herself ac-
cordingly. there has been a steady
drive to make the safety of Britain
more secure
Germany now can. in the estima-
tion of the British government have
her equality accepted in a mutual
security system or she can go her
own was and see the old allies re-
store confidence by a show of over-
whelming iorce.
For Britain intends bo go ahead
with a security system with or with-
cut Germany in order that trade
can once more flow between na-
tions under the stimulus of confi-
dence. Without trade Britain can-
.iot hold her commanding position.

CITRUS SI OL '
IS SUCCESSFUL
EDINBURG Feb 16.—The Texas
Citrus Institute held this week was
termed by its sponsors and at-
tendant* as am of the most suc-
cessful citrus studies staged in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley thus far.
The institute is sponsored annually
by Edinburg Junior college and is
directed by Prank T. Bingham head:
of the department of citrlculture of
the college
The closing sessions attended by;
hundreds of growers heard nu-
merous timely and practical sug-
gestions made by speaker* inti-
mately acquainted with their sub-
jects concerning orchard care cit-
rus marketing and possibilities of
the Valley's industry.
While several speakers conceded
generally the difficulty m main-
taining prices for fruit which:
would guarantee a fan and profit-
able return to the grower they of-
fered suggestions which they be-
lieved would assist in relieving the
situation
Probably the most universally ac-
cepted was that ol Glenn G- White
assistant secretary of the Rio Grande
Valley Citrus Exchange of Weslaco
largest Valley citrus co-operative
marketing agency. White maintain-
ed as have other official* of his
organisation that the quickest and.
In all probability the most success-
ful immediate step that could be-
taken would bt a national adver-1
Using campaign. His only alterna-
tive for continued delay of the
advertising program is curtailment
of production considered difficult
if not impossible
In an lnterc- ting address on a
subject which hi* been widely dis-
cussed at various times in the Val-1
ley. Clinton Praser Sr. general
manager oi the Delta Orchard*
Development company ol Raymond-
ville proposed a merger of the iour(
co - operative marketing organisa-
tion now operating in the Valley—
Rio Grande Valley Citrus Exchange
oi Weslaco Texas Citrus Fruit-
Growers Exchange of Mission. Mis-
sion Citrus association oi Mission
and Rio Grande Valley Citrus Grow-
ers association oi Me.cedes. He sug-1
gested that a competent person not
a Valley resident be employed by
the co-operatives to organize the'
new co-operative which he would I
have known as "Texas Citrus Ex-1
change." and arbitrate differences
arising within the Industry itself
during the reorganization He sug-
gested use of reserve* built up an- j
nually by the association* in fi-
nancing the new co-operative.
Praser asked boards ol director? ol
the various co-operative* to con-
sider the suggestion at an early
date and requested consideration or
the proposal by Valley newspapers. j
A study of national and world1
consumption of grapefruit and
oranges was made and retorted by
J/ B- Corns horticulturist at Texas
College of Arts & Industries In
Kingsville Corns told the institute
that grapefruit and orange con-
sumption in both this country and
abroad is steidily increasing and
that citrus is taking American

fruits which have long been recog-

The young people there are as

The university was founded at
