PESSIMISM
IN PARIS
CLEMENCEAU FOR HIS
COUNTRY WILL NOT
GIVE ONE INCH FOR THE
DEMANDS MADE OF
FRANCE FOR REPARA-
TON AT THE HANDS OF
THE GERMANS.

Paris, June 10.-The Council
of Four met this morning Win
feeling of pessimism over the large
questions that enter into the peace
treaty with Germany. 1t is under
stood that Premier Clemenceau has
refused to recede one particle from
the position that he has taken all
along regarding the amount that
France claims against Germany for
damages and reparation.
There has been no settlement OF
the Silesian question another factor
of trouble of that concerning the Po-
Iish western frontier which is all
connected more or less with the diff
ferences between France and Italy
regarding territory and reparation
One trouble with the Silesian
question is the difficulty in holding
a plebiscite election, is the lack OF
troops necessary under the allied
occupation, there being none avail
able for the purpose.

URGES
To Europe in Order to Main
tain Parity Of the Amer
lean Dollar
IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

WASHINGTON, June 9.-To has
ten return to normal economic con-
ditions and restore the American
dollar to parity in several foreign
countries, the control exercised by
the government over transactions
in foreign exchange and the exporta-
ton of gold coin, bullion and cur
rency was terminated today by
President Wilson, acting on recon-
mendations of the Federal Reserve
Board.
Exceptions made by the President
included importat:ons or exporta-
ton of ruble notes Of exchange op-
erations with that Fart of Russia
now under the control of the Bol-
shevikf government and exchange
transactions with ter tories in re-
spect of which such transactions are
at present PERMITTED only through
the American relief administra-
ton.
Attention was also called by the
board to the fact that termination
of control did not authorize transac-
tions with enemies except SO far
as such transactions may be au-
thorized by general or special licen-
ses granted by the War Trade
| Board.
License to Export Coin Required.
Licenses to export coin, bullion or
currency will be required but will
be granted freely by the war trade
4 board irrespective of destination or
l amount, the boards statement said !.
Applications must, however, con-
tinue to be made TO the Federal Re
serve Board until such time as the
President shall by proclamation for
i mally bring to an end the present
control, instituted when the United
States entered the war.
Removal of the embargo on ex.
portation of gold will enable foreign
nations to obtain metal needed tc
strengthen their economic position
said the board. adding that anything
that tends to restore the economic
power of foreign countries viii
make more secure prosperity in thii
country.
Government credits to the Allie,
virtually are exhausted, the announ
cement said, SO that flow of go1l
to this country may be expected
soon, tending to advance existing
high prices. This will offset, how
ever, by the outward movemen

WASHINGTON, June S.-A most
optimistic view of the Shipping situa-
ton is presented by Edward N.
Hurley, chairman of the United
States Shipping Board, in letter
which he sent today to Chairman
James w. Good, of the House Ap-
propriations-In it. Mr.. Hurley con-
tends that the actual cost of tom
mage, after cost of yard construction,
administration, loss sustained by
the cancellation of contracts to meet
conditions following the signing of
the armistice, and the money paid
to the Treasury by shipbuilders
in the form of profits is
considered, is n than $50

very doubtful whether even thar
tax would be repealed.
Senator Penrose, Chairman of
the Senate Ninance Committee lin
discussing the general subject of
revising the revenue law said that
it would be unwise to repeal this
or any other tax just at present !.
He believes that nothing should be

has been created and rigid econo-
mics have been effected.

REDUCTION OF ARMY
PROPOSED IN HOUSE
As Means of Securing Early Return

of American Troops From Europe
Washington, June 9.-Early re-
turn from Europe of American
troops was demanded by Democratic
and Republican members of the
House during the debate of the
100000 army bill. Various
means were suggested for bringing
this about, but the method which
gained the greatest support provid-
ed for an even greater reduction in
the army strength than that made
by the military committee, which re-
duced to 100000 the 100000 figure
asked for by Secretary Baker.
Representative LaGuardia, RepuK-.
lican, of New York, announced that,
he would offer an amendment reduc--
ing the number to 100000, saying
that the War Department would,
have no trouble in reaching this av-
erage for the year if sit did not hava
ers itched to spend.''
General March" :" he added, has
declared that the average would not
fall below sos, 200 men, but General
March may not be right. People say
he is very capable, but to me he ap-
pears to be as autocratic as LudeD-
dorff and as much of a military
genius as the crown prince"
Representative Quin, Democrat OF
Mississippi, asserted that the mem-
bers of the house could not go back
to their constituents with clean con>
sciences if they did not demand that
the demobilization should be carried
on as rapidly as possible. Unless
Congress takes definite step, he
declared. there is nothing to prevent
the War Department from retaining
large numbers of men until the time
when their release would be made
necessary by law.
Representative Kahn, of Ca1ifor-
mia, chairman of the military conn
mittee, said that it was the unani-
nous opinion of the committee that
all soldiers in Europe should be re-
turned as rapidly as possible.
The proposal to reduce the army
| to 100000 men met with objection
from Representative Harrison. Dem
| ocrat, of Virginia, who said that If
adopted, money might be lacking be-
fore the end of the year for pay, sup
plies and transportation for soldiers.
Mr.. La Guardia replied that such a
tdeficit could be made up by a def1c-
Iiency appropriation.
General debate on the measure
was closed today with the agree
ment that it would be taken up for
amendment Wednesday, the $780,
100000 railroad appropriation bill
having right of way on the floor to-
morrow.
Not withstanding the necessity
for irrigation improved land in that
amendment Wednesday, the $780,
per acre. Average farms range about
40 acres. These gentlemen own from
100 to 100 acres.
The land requires irrigation. ana
the water is brought down from the
mountains, by irrigation companies
and distributed to the farmers and
fruit growers. The cost is about
seventy cents per acre and the Law,
provides right of way for canals
through another mans land.
After June there is no rainfall
until October and the only rain
is in the winter. The average annual
rainfall is about nine inches.

j tions which they carried from North
