By ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT. Paris, March 23 (N.Y.W.4.S.) —For- eign Minister Aristide Briand does not expect to return to London as head of the French delegation to the fivé-power naval parley before the of this week, if then. is nothing in the present sit- to indicate that he will re- turn at all, unless with Prime Min- ister Andre Tardieu. Both M. Briand and M. Tardieu have a busy week before them dealing with domestic matters. Debate is due in the Chamber of Deputies on rati- fication of the Young plan for a final reparations settlement and in the Senate on the budget. But if the premier and the foreign minister saw any change in the situation at Lon- don, one of them at least would re- turn there, Minister of Marine Jacques Louis Dumesnil left at 8 p. m. tonight for London accompanied, by Admiral Dar- lan. M. Dumesnil is the newest mem~_ ber of the French delegation and the least supple, so his arri¥al In London will be of no great help to the parley. Francois Pietri, minister of colonies end another member of the French delegation, will follow M. Dumesnil to London Tuesday. . Briand Waits Italiag Offer. M. Briand does not want to return te London upless some change in Italy's attitude is assured. If his re- turn would “mean making any con- ceasion in the French position with- out corresponding concessions being made by all the other delegations he would surely not go back to the Brit- ish capital. Briand intimated in a talk yester- @ay with Lord William Tyrrell, British Am bassador hefe, who called on him on instructions from Prime Minister MacDonald, that the best finish for, the conference, as things now stand, would be a stabilization of fleets on the basis of present programs. He expressed the conviction that it is up to Mr. MacDonald, as chairman of the conference, to oblige Italy to State her naval program, whateevr the fig- ures may be. It is said here that Mr. MacDonald wanted to make an effort in this direction, with the support of the Continued on Page 2, Column 7.

MARYLAND MEN CITED apne two of nearby Maryland are numbered among the 85 scholars, novelists, sculpters, painters and other creatwe workers who have been awarded fel the caption “Diplomats in Traffic,” and you observe: “The Post regards this matter with considerable concern. It is one which may disturb the friendly relations existing between the citizens of Washington and the members of the Diplomatic Corps and is a source of danger to Washington residents.” I take great exception to this statement. That the Diplomatic Corps or any of its members constitute “a constant source of danger to Wash- ington residents” is inconceivable. Your editorial refers to “the habitual recklessness-of many members of the Diplomatic Corps, especially young bloods who take delight in violating the traffic rules and then escaping the penalty by perening: their diplomatic immunity.” Members of the Diplomatic Corps are not selected by their respective countries at random. They are edu- cated, intelligent persons and they are deeply conscious of their responsi- bilities and of the moral duty im- posed upon them to particularly re- Gravely.
