Peace Parley Progress

WASHINGTON. April II. - More
progress has been made in the peace
conference during the last forty-eight
hours than during the entire previous
two weeks, according to advices re-
ceived at the White House o-day from
Paris.
Without giving details, these advices
indicate that some of the chief diff

tiations had been overcome and that
the President had obtained acceptance
of certain of the important points for
which he had been contending.
News that the proposed league Of

so as to except the Monroe Doctrine
caused much interest, but in the alb

LONDON, April 11.-Thc victory Of
Commander J. M. kcnworthy, Inde-
pendent Liberal, over Lord Eus.ace
Percy in the bye-election for the Cen
trai District of Hull is a political event
exceeding in Importance even the sue
cess OF Ncw0old the Independent Lib
cral candidate for the West Lcyton seat
in Parliament.
Lord Percy, who was {. member Of
the Foreign Office and assistant to Lord
Robert Cecil at Paris, had the support
OF Premier Lloyd George as we'll as #
Palfour and Bonar Law He was de-
featcd, however, by nearly / 900 votes,
though in the December election Sir
Mark Sykes won the seat by a majority
of more than 10000. Kenworthy is OPP
posed to the continuance of conscrip-
ton and to the military campaign
against the Bolsheviki in Russia.
The Conservatives contend the result
is due to the countrys dissatisfaction
with what they call Lloyd George s
weakening" in regard to his election
pledges. On the other hand, the Lib
trails declare the result shows con-
clusivcly that the country desires to
return to normal conditions
This is only another of the many
striking illustrations Of the way the
political winds are blowing. During
the last fortnight labor candidates have
won remarkable victories in district
elections in all parts of the kingdom.
The Labor ~arty is building up its
organization from the ground, and its
progress has been more rapid than even
the most sangune Of its supporters
expected. The party is now in control
in scores of local districts, not only
in the great industrial centres, but in
rural districts as we'll
On top of all this comes serious
revolt in Parliament itself Although
majority Of the Coalitionsts, ospe-
cislly the Libcrerals, are expected to
support Lloyd George in any decisive
task he may undertake, there is a
body Of Conservatives who are
thoroughly dissatisfied with the Pre-
micr's course at Paris and ready to call
HIM to account
Premier's Future Questioned
IF these bv-cicctions arc indicative
of serious political unrest in the coun-
try 1t is even possible that the Lloyd
George government, which won the
most sweeping victory in British his
tory, may not last out its appointed
time That possibility raises the ques-
tion whether the Premier would swing
PACK to the Liberals or attempt to
form union with Labor.
The forecast Of the amount Of in
demnify to be demanded of Germany
1s, far from satisfactory to many of
Lloyd Georges Conservative support
ers, and if he explains in Parliament
next week that it is not possible to OBJ
tain any more they viii remain discon-

NeutraIs Plead
W ith Allies TO
Feed Z Petrograd 6
Scandinavian and Swiss
Delegates Ask Wilson and
Hoover 10 Send Supplies
TO Russia at Once

PARIS, April I'LL Hjalmar Brantng
the Swedish Socialist leader, and DR..
FridtjoF Nanscn, head of the Norwe-
gian Food Commi ission to the United
States, and several other prominent
Scandnavians and Swiss subjects have
been conferring with President Wilson
and Herbert G. Hoover, director gem
cral of interAlied relief, and other
members OF the Inter-Allied Relief
Council in an effort to arrange for the
feeding of the larger cities of Russia,
especially Petrograd.
Yesterday Pre- sidcnt Wilson present4
ed proposition by the council Of
four to send food to Soviet Russia if
the Bolshcviki ceased hostiities This
plan, however, met with serious oppo-
sjtion, particularly from the French
on the ground that it would constitute
recognition Of the Bolsheyik govern
ment.
The proposed plan would have
placed the food entirely under the con-
troll of n neutral commission, and, con-
scquently, the American position on
the rcvictualling OF Soviet Russia
would not constitute recognition on the
part Of the Entente. However, the
Frcnch held it impossible to ask Cen
cral Dcnikinc and the Don Cossack
governments to cease fighting, even if
the Bolsheviki are willing Dr. Nansen
is anxious that the revictualling plan
be adopted speedily, so that food ships
can approach Petrograd as soon as the
ice breaks up.
DIR. Nansen estimates the death rate
at 100000 monthly, directly or indi-
rcctly due to starvation. He says the
world cannot stand idly by and watch
women and children starvc. Virtually
all children of less than two wears are
now dead in Petrograd, according to
DR.. Nansen, and conditions are beyond
description in the orphans homes and
hospitals.
Mr.. Hoover said that as all projects
for feeding Russia involved political
considerations, the first in order have
invariably been referred to the Coun-
ell of Four. His reports, he declared,
supported DR.. Nansen's statement as to
conditions in Russia
Other Guarantees Wanted
NJ. Branting favors, in addition to n
cessation Of hostilitics, that the Bol-
shcviki also be asked to guarantee the
liberty of the press and of speech and
the right TO hold meetings.
The American Red Cross has re-
pcatedly sought permission to sell food
to the Bolsheviki, but heretofore the
United States has vetoed the plan be-
cause it was unwilling to negotiate
with the Bosheviki.

than full Naturalization Of the Allies

ability to pay the full bill, the Ameri-

sented to Germany under the plan

in full.
They assert they can see the possi-
hility that the ways and means of
holding Germany to payment will grow
weaker as the years pass and that
Germany may take advantage of some
convenient opportunity in later years
10 repudiate her obligations to the
present Allied powers under the peace
treaty.
Recalls Russia's Action
They recall the action of Russia in
repudiating the restrictive Black Sea
clauses of the treaty imposed at the
conclusion of the Crimean War at a
moment when new political constella-
ton in Europe gave the Emperor of
Russia a fair amount of certainty that
Russia could do this with impunity.
For this reason the American and
other delegates on the reparations
commission have opposed a. new pro-
posal which the French brought in to
specify labor and other acquisitions
for the restoration Of the devastated
French provinces in the first few years
after peace, maintaining that this re-
vived the principle Of priority as be-
tween the various creditors of Ger
many, which had been rejected by the
commission and the council of four.
Backs Smaller Nations
They argued that France in this way
might receive disproportionately q
large share of her claims in the first
years while the ability of the asso-
ciated governments to enforce pay
ments was still good and that other
states dependent upon later payments
in money and materials might be left
holding the bag" if Germany proved
recalcitrant.
The difficulty probably will be met
by the French offer to account to the
other countries for the cash value of
labor, materials, cattle and other
things exacted tor the restoration of
the nine northern provinces.
Germany, although her prisoners
will be released at the end OF the arm
istice, probably will be required in the
peace settlement to provide part Of
the labor needed for rebuilding all dew
astated regions as well as labor at
home in the manufacture or production
Of materials to be used in restoration
work.

cordirg to the Echo de Paris" The

"Le Journal" speaks of the unstable
barometer of the peace conference, cit

the questions of reparations and re-
sponsibilities, adding: "In the face of
such examples it will be understood
that it is well to accept with some re-
serve the favorable Impressions OF yes
