10 the Editor Of The Star:
II you can bring about the CALL
Ing of conference here in WASH
ington which has no legislative
policy in view, but which, in a
spirit Of amity, has a genuine de-
sire to promote justice and fair
dealing by frank but friendly pres
entation Of all sides of economic
life, coupled with suggestions to
the conscientious and patriotic
thought Of Americans as to the
best method of reducing friction.
you Will have done your country a
great service; but nobody ought to
come who is coming with a view to
enactment of legislation to his adj
vantage and to the disadvantage
of another man. Conferences
among self-sseking men only pro-
woke additional trouble. This COLI
ference. II held. should be com
posed of men who are willing to
yield as much personal advantage
as possible in the interest Of the
common good, not OF men who
think a future wrong is justified
by past grievances.

PARIS, May 30.-While it would be
too much to say that the allied diplo-
matte front has been broken by the
German counter proposals, the fact Is
that tonight the Germans are stronger
than at any time since the armistice,
several Of their suggestions having
won support from both the American
and the British delegations.
Count Won Brockdorff-R antzau's ac-
ceptances and reflections, amounting to
100000 words, were completed this
evening and have been transmitted to
Premier Clemenceau in German.
Serious attention will be given to
each point advanced by the Teutons.
and President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George have indicated their
willingness to recede from original
positions taken by them il it can be
shown that such a course will be help
full to world peace without lessening
the lust penalties to be melted out to
Four main features characterize the
German answer. The first is de-
mand that reparations be fixed def
nitely at $25, 900, 900, 900. which is pre-
cisely the sum originally figured out
and advised by British and American
experts. The second demand is for a
plebiscite for Silesia, which the Ger
mans say was never Polish and should
not be awarded to Poland. The third
point is in protest against sover-
eighty other than German for the
Saar valley, and the fourth point COW
ers the German demand for immediate
admission to the league Of nations.
Presidaht Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George are ready to hear arguments
on each of these points. thus placating

position is opposed to concessions Of
any kind.

PACKERS FORESEE
CUT IN BEEF PRICE
Chicago Bureau Notes,
Among Reasons, Y. S. Has
Stopped Buying.

CHICAGO, May 31.-A decrease in
the price of beef is Immediately at
hand" according to a statement is
sued today by the bureau of public
relations, American Meat Packers AS
ISOLATION.
Despite that beef already is cheap
er than pork. poultry and mutton. it
probably will decline further within
the next few days." said the state
ment. There are several reasons.
Cheaper, grass-fed cattle, which hith-
erto have not been plentiful, are now
moving to market. Exports Of beef
from the United States have practical
lX ceased. The government has stop
ped buying.
May Be Slow Reaching Consumer.
'It may take a few days for the
lower price to reach the consumer.
The reason is obvious. 1t lies in the
fact that appreciable time elapses be-
tween arrival of cheaper steers at
from those steers on the consumers
tables. The retailer cannot lower his
prices until he replenishes his stock
Of beef at the reduced figures expect
ed.
But from all indications it seems
fairly certain that, although deple-
ton of European herds and unpre-
cedented demands will hold meat
prices above normal, nevertheless a
decrease in the wholesale and, sub
sequently. retail price of beef is i'm
mediately at hand. 1t is thought that

guard the fight.
