I'VE doubt very much whether that
is how President Wilson views the
question. 1t is certainly not the view
of American opinion generally. Amer

Americans do not wish it welded

"The American suggestion is full of
hope and help in the pursuit of ultj

Conservative papers, on the other
hand, generally indorse the Premier's
address, although some accuse him of
being indefinite. "The Times" recog-

some quarters that the United States

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The Austrian
forces in Albania are pushing forward
against the Allied armies, gaining
ground along the Semeni River and

Treason Charge i'm
Malvy Case Dropped
Punishment Asked Only for
Minister'S Alleged Connec-

PARIS, Aug. 2.-Attorney General
Merillon summed up in the High Court
of Justice to-day the governments
case in the trial of Louis Malvy, for
mer Minister of Interior in several
French Cabinets.
The Attorney General said M. Malvy
was not traitor as Leon Daudet
leader of the Royalst Association anc
editor of "L'Action Francaise," had De
clared. NJ. Merllon contended that
the former Interior Minister really had
not betrayed his country.
The Attorney General said he did
not wish to compare NJ. Malvy either
with Bolo Pacha or NJ. Duval, director
of the Bonnet Rouge" both of whom
were shot as traitors, and that he
would withdraw the charge of treason
in Malvy's case.
Attorney General Merillon main
tanned, however, that M. Malvy was
partly responsible for certain mutn-
les in the French army, which he at
tributed to pacifist propaganda, and he
said the former minister should be
punished for that,

American Experts Seeking
to Devise Acceptable
Economic Treaty
Wilson Would Be
Fair to Germans
Paris Conference Decision
Now Believed to Have
Been Made Obsolete
Especial Dispatch to The Tribunc)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The ed-
dress of Premier Lloyd George before
the National Union of Manufacturers
in London, in which he referred to the
Paris resolutions and said, "Up to the
present time America has expressed no
opinion upon them, and it is vitality i'm
portant that the policy of America and
that of this country should be in COM
plete agreement on economic as well as
other problems" was construed here to
mean that discussions are now going
forward between the Allies and the
United States for the purpose of formu-
lating common economic policy to be
put into effect at the conclusion of
peace.
This government apparently took the
position, as indicated in President Will
sons various addresses, first, that there
should not be an economic war after
the war, keeping the world still divided
into two groups of belligerent nations,
and, later, IT, at there should be no eco
nomic war after the war unless the
aims OF the present war should fall
short of naturalization and peace
should have to be negotiated with the
present German government on a basis
that did not remove the menace of
Prussian miltarism from the earth.
In Official quarters 1T was declared to-
day that this government has not
formulated an economic policy to be
pursued after the war, but experts are
giving the profoundest study to the
question. 1t is known to be the desire
of President Wilson to avoid a situa-
ton which would necessitate, in his
mind, the practice of restrictions which
would deny to the German people after
the war a natural right to engage in
commerce with the world upon reason
able terms and conditions.
Premier Lloyd George, however, has
presented the subject in a new aspect
that of compelling Germany to pay
the costs of the war to the Allies by
increasing the penalties to be imposed
longation of the war, causing greater
outlay of sacrifices, both human and
material. to the Allies.
1t is felt here that the Paris con-
ference resolutions offer faulty pro-
gramme for protecting the interests of
the Allies after the war; that the
changed conditions, together with the
entry of the United States into the war
have already made that document OBJ
solete, and that the question will have
TO be studied anew by the associate d
down, which, nevertheless, will itself
be subject to revision accordingly as
developments may dictate.
1T is believed that Britain will take
the leadership in new movement for
another economic conference of the al
lied nations. in which the United States
would be represented

sion:

plies for the British government of
observing at close range the great prep

by the United States, and have noted
the three stages through which they
have passed.
''First, the period which must be
encountered when all is confusion, and
which is incidental to the entry Of any
great nation into war, and during which
all sorts of progress seem to be ex-
tremely slow. No matter how capable
or willing the many prominent officials
and voluntary workers may be, it is
difficult during this period to have CO.

departm ents or governments VINO are
all striving at the shortest possible
notice to secure the various war sup
plies which are necessary to carry on

"That period has, happily, passed,
however, and the second period has also
come and gone, during which the spirit
OF cooperation has been most NANTES st
between the many departments of the
United States government and the war
mission of the Allies situated in Wash
lngton. 1t may now be said that the
third period has been reached, when
the unbounded resources of the United
States for carrying on the war are
being quickly developed to such point
that all requirements, not only of the
United States themselves but also of
the Allies. will soon be taken care of,
putting at the disposal of the military
authorities in France such an army Of
men and supply of war materials as
will have determining influence on
the course of the war"
