That there is no feeling of contro-

Redfield of the Department of Com

Treasury Department was evidenced
today by correspondence which has
passed between the two cabinet mem
berS within the past two days and
since the outbreak of the controversy
over the resignation of members of
the industrial board of the former
department.
The opinion is gaining credence in
official quarters that some cogniZance
of the question involved by the fail
ure of the industrial board to live up
to it's avowed purposes-that of
bringing to a common meeting point
on prices large purchasers and pro-
ducers-instead of attempting to fix
minimum prices for the general pub
lie. must be settled by the President
side of the two departments directly
involved is said to believe that the
President must intervene.
Little attention was given today to a
report that the designations of one or
both of the secretaries would bring to
an end the controversy over the defunct
industrial board. The the Treasury De-
tary Glass, who is out of town, regarded
the matter as closed, and Secretary Red

Germans Are Bitter,

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COBLENZ. May 10.-The impression
gained by American officers through
talking with Germans regarding the
peace terms is that many OF them
are bitter and sullen. but are inclined
to resign themselves to accept any
terms, no matter how harsh NO con-
crete plan of action has been sug-
gested in the event the German dele
gates at Versailles refuse to sign the
treaty.
They asserted that the internal re-
sources of Germany alone were IN
sufficient to permit of the payment

come. Many of the people asked
what would be done in the event
that Germany should decline to accept
the terms.
An army intelligence summary out
lines reports received from various
civilian groups and individuals as foi-
lows:
Under existing conditions it is i'm
possible for Germany ever TO pay l,s

had only 10000. 600 600 marks in gold,
and the demand for pounds sterlins
in gold or merchandise in the nrst

had expected, and that they "ouio

A report received from Great Falls
this morning at the Office of the
