cussions of Germany's frontiers dealing with the Ruhr, Rhineland and the Saar. M. Bidault (France) made his statements on the Ruhr and Rhineland and was followed by Mr. Bevin (Britain) and then by General Marshall (United States).
Bidault, in one of the three statements circulat- ed at today's session of the Council of Foreign Ministers, declared that France will view with indifference the constitution of the Rhineland either as one or several states. The other two statements gave France's viewpoint on future of the Ruhr and the Saar.

At Schacht Trial
Stuttgart, Apr. 10. The deriaziflcation trial of the former Reichsbank、
president, Hjalmar Schacht, dissolved into a three-way verbal wrestling match and inter- minable explanations of “democracy and par- llamentary government" in a chilly courtroom here today.
“
Schacht and prosecutor Helmut Ballarin shouted wisecracks at each other throughout the morning, with the presiding judge, Fritz Lenz, attempting to keep their tempers under con- trol. The show played to a small crowd of newspapermen, local hangers-on and a squad of police guards, who huddled in their coats in the
freshly-painted, unheated auditorium serving as courtroom. Ballarin argued that since Schacht replied: "It seems Schnelt and spoken with Hitler, to me that is the normal man- toner in which democracy works. and written several letters bim previous to 1933 he had I am sorry for you if your supported the National Social mind works otherwise!"
