(P) - Two points of disagreement tonight prevented an accord between the United States and France on the moratorium plan. France insists that Germany's proposed unconditional reparations be made available for the use of the Paris government at the expira- tion of the moratorium. America takes the position that the money should be funded over a period of years. Two Statements Issued. The French ministry wants na- tions other than Germany to share in the credits for loans by the in- ternational bank from the uncondi- tional German payments which are to be continued uninterrupted. Washington is anxious that all money paid into the international bank by Germany in the next year go back to Germany, if the Reich so desires. Two statements were issued to- day by Acting Secretary Castle of the State Department. He came after a conference with President Hoover and after reports from Se- cretary Mellon and Ambassador Edge at Paris. The first statement said no agreement had been reach- ed with the French because "some details" remain to be settled. The second, issued tonight, pointed to France as the only nation which had not agreed to President Hoo- ver's proposal in principle. Discussions Continue. "It is our understanding," the last statement said, "that all gov- ernments have now agreed in ~in- ciple to the President's plan except the French government. Some dif- ficulties have arisen in reconciling the French position with the spirit of the President's proposal. Dis- cussions are still continuing be- tween Ambassador Edge and Secre- tary Mellon and the French minis- try." A delay in negotiations was in- dicated by Secretary Mellon in his last report to Washington. The French cabinet must appear tomor- row before the Senate. Discussion will be resumed Wednesday. AMERICAN FLYERS CROSS BERING SEA Cover 9,250 Miles in Six Days; Now on Longest and Most Difficult Trip. jf'J Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of state, who sailed for Naples Sunday aboard the Conte Grande to attend European confer- ences on t]ie moratorium plan. Se- cretary Stimson was "very optimis- tic as to the ultimate result." It is rumored that he will also reopen the Franco-Italian naval question. LEAGUE MAY 9AVERT WAR, SAYSPOLLOCK Polish Corridor Will Be Grave Danger to European Peace Within Decade. CHARGE DISCRIMINATION "The League of Nations can fore- stall possible war by virtue of her right to reconsider treaties that im- peril peace, according to the nine- teenth article of the Covenant of the League," declared Prof. James, K. Pollock, of the history depart- ment, as the first lecturer on the University summer program, yes- terday. "The peace of Europe will be in grave danger within a decade if the problem of the Polish corri- dor is not solved," he said. The unnecessarily stupid drawing up of the boundaries of the corridor by the terms of peace imposed upon' Germany by the Allied and asso- ciated powers was given as one of the important reasons for the Po- lish-German impasse. The Germ- ans of East Prussia have been vir- tually denied access to the Vistula which has now ceased to be the important artery of trade that it was under German rule, Professor Pollock said. "The Germans feel that the Po- lish corridor has cut the fatherland in two," he continued. "On a rail- way journey, German passengers will talk rather vehemently while passing through this corridor of the wrong done to Germany. Accusa- tions of racial, governmental, cul- tural and educational discrimina- tion are rhade by the Germans liv- ing in the corridor against the Po- lish government," Professor Pollock said. "Poland is now a great Power, a republic in name but with a mili- tary dictatorship, with thirty mil- lions of people, and is growing fast- er than any other country in Eur- ope. The Polish nation is becom- ing sea-minded because of the ac- cess to the sea and a remarkable port only 18 mile from the free city of Danzig is being built at Gdynia, that may become the rival of Dan- zig, one of the leading ports of the Baltic since the 12th century, Pro- fessor Pollock explained. Last Year; Literary School Shows Slight Decrease. A record attendance for the University's thirty-eighth annual Summer Session was indicated yesterday, when 3,750 students had enrolled at the close of registration for the day. This total is an increase of 239 over the number registered at a similar time last summer. Since more than 40o entered after the first Monday last year, it appears possible that the total for this summer will be well over 4,000. Phenomenal gains were shown in the registration for the Gradu- ate school, which totalled 1,750. The number entered at a similar time last year was 1,362, an increase for this summer of 388.

Summer Session students who are engaged in professional pursuits during the regular academic year are not subject to restriction in the use of automobiles during the sum- mer, W. B. Rea, assistant to the dean of students, said yesterday, explaining the application of the University automobile .regulation, which went into effect on the first day of the session. The recreational use cars, Rea ex- plained, applies only to athletics, such as golf, tennis, and swimming, and does not permit the use of cars for other personal purposes. Any student not on warning or proba- tion -and not repeating courses or working off conditions may obtain a recreational permit, Rea said. This permit allows him to take other students with him when he is driv- ing to lakes, golf courses, or other recreational fields. A student with such a permit must not drive with a girl after 9 o'clock at night, Rea said. This curfew hour applies on- ly when members of both sexes are in the car, he explained. Rea cautioned students under the Irestriction not to drive without first obtaining permits, since the regu- lation became effective yesterday. Students who have received permit tags should be sure to attach them properly, he said. Further informa- tion- may be obtained in room 2, University hall.
