BITTER INDUSTRIAL CONFLICT
AVERTED BY GREAT BRITAIN
Good Understanding Created and Country
Escapes Conditions Which Would Haze
Increased Europe's Distress.

Robert Smillie ]. H. Thomas and Mr.
Brownie far from being bolshevists
who would lead labor into a revolt
against the state, are shrewd, clever
and powerful statesmen, who have
the national as we'll as their class
! interest at heart. 1t is fortunate for
Britain that this formidable labor
combination, which could paralyze the
nation and increase the distress all
over Europe, is led by men o. their
caliber.
Era of Good Understanding.
Conditions are still far from nor
NAL. No one can tell even the pur-
chasing value of money six months
hence. The problem of winning
peace is no less complicated than
that of winning the war. but progress
toward an era of good understanding
not only between individuals and
classes, but also between nations,
has been made during the past two
weeks.
Though Britain is by no means out
OF Cne "OOQS IN HeF ldDOE CIlSiS,
there is no doubt that the latest de-
velopments have brought signs of
daylight. I have neglected details
because the solution Of the great
problems of the moment depends upon
the removal of suspicion and the
breaking down of prejudice in the
individual natures, ard not upon petty
details. The big point that I want
to report is that there is better up-
derstanding all around.
Whetherthe domestic problems can
be solved satisfactorily before the
international settlement is reached or
contrawise is debatable. What is
happening now is an effort to solve
them simultaneously. There is plenty
of disquieting news, such as that
from Egypt. where riotous demon
strations have forced the hurried re-
turn of Gen. Allenby; from Russia,
where the bolshevists have swept
through the Ukraine, and from the
Balkans. where national aspirations
run strongly, but the general out
look is brighter.

This leads to another observation
made by all visitors to Germany
namely, that the old gang remains in
charge. The leaders of the new ma

echoed and re-echoed the militaristie

bureaucracy is not changed. It con-

not infrequently treated to an expo

SEE VICTORY LOAN
OF SIX BILLIONS
Estimate of Officials Based
on Reported Collections
of Income Tax.
RESERVE BANKS so TOLD

With the announcement yesterday
that collection from the first 25
per cent installment payment of
income and profits taxes last Satur
day amounted to $1.001. .000, 900. and
might go higher with later reports,
the last financial milestone preced-
ing the victory liberty loan had been
passed, and it seems probable that
the loan will be for approximately
$4,000. 10000
Governors Of federal reserve banks
attending a conference closing last
night were told that although Off
cial statements of the amount of the
loan heretofore have referred to
five or six billions" the higher
figure was nearer correct. Treasury
officials emphasized. however, that
the amount of the loan had not
actually been determined.
Total of Tax Indicated.
Tax collections of a little. more
than a billion dollars indicated that
the total tax yield this year from
income and profits levies would be
more than four billions, and might
reach the $4,700.000,000 estimate of
Congress at the time Of enacting the
revenue bill. The aggregate of first
installment payments will bring into
the Treasury only about $200,000.000
net at this time. however. since
$500, 900 is required to pay
certificates of Indebtedness maturing
coincidentally with the tax pay
ments.
In support of the belief that the
Treasury would make six billions the
goal of the victory loan campaign,
officials pointed out that $4,855.000,000
certificates Of Indebtedness were out
standing to be redeemed out of pro-
ceeds from the loan, and they said
that probably another billion must be
issued before loan receipts begin to
pour in. Proceeds from the certid-
Gates will be required to pay ordinary
government expenses for two months,
now running at the rate of $780,
00o,ooe a month. and to redeem q lit
tie more than $500. .0oo,o 900 of certifi-
Gates falling due before Nay &
Treasury Fund Available.
The Treasury has available to meet
current cash requirements about ST.
700, 0o0. 600, a rather high net balance,
not including all the tax receipts from
the previous weeks collections.
Offcials. however. do not desire to
let the cash working balance get be-
low a billion dollars. for this is less
than a months expenses.
Indications now. are that unless the
victory loan is largely oversubscrib-
ed the Treasury will have to begin.

PEACE TREATY TO

~ =,
Separation Of League and.
Publicity Of Debate,
Issues in Senate.
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT

The peace treaty, according to re-
ports from Paris. will reach the Sem
ate with the provisions Of the league
Of nations constitution entwined with
the treaty itself. Immediately the
treaty is laid before the Senate q
fight will begin in that body to un-
scramble the pact and the league OF
nations.
The opponents Of the league Of ma
tions as drafted claim that they will
have a distinct advantage because OF
the fact that the treaty may be
amended by a majority vote, under
the rules of the Senate. though IT
requires a two-thirds vote to ratify
the treaty. BY exercising the majority
rule, they believe they will be able
to amend the league of nations consti-
tuition to meet their views. or may be
able to separate the treaty of peace
entirely from the league constitution.
More than a majority of the senators.
| it is estimated. are opposed to the
| league constitution as 1t now stands.
On the other hand. supporters of
the league of nations see in the
majority rule on amendments the op-
portunity to save the league of ma
| tions, though in an amended form.
They believe that enough senators are
in favor Of a league Of nations Of
some kind to ratify the treaty with
| the league Of nations in it, provided
| it can be made to suit them.
Want Debate Public.
| One of the first questions that will
| come up when the treaty reaches the
/ Senate is whether the consideration Of

| or behind closed doors. Senator Borah

reason why the debates should be open
to the public. The Presidents demand

at" also will be quoted in support Of
open debate

None Agrees With Another.
On this point no witness can agres

the views that have been expressed by
American, French and English visitors
in Germany in recent weeks. without
attempting to coordinate them or
give any estimate Of which are cor

It is perfectly clear that there are
two great problems facing the west

its reintegration-could possibly pay
the claims Of allies against it. but a
Germany strong enough to do this
within all human probability will be
strong enough to resist the payment.

incapable of paying for German ex-

Russia is now incapable of paying the

Always, therefore. in the allied
mind there is this dilemma: Shall the
Paris conference aid in the restora-

LONDON, March 22-The weeks
end is brighter than it began. The
industrial storm seems to be passing
over, and though there are still dark
clouds in the sky. the prospect of
fair weather has improved. This is
the product of reason, and is highly
creditable to the British government,
the British workman and the British
employer.
Just when the catastrophe seems
inevitable British common sense
rallies and the danger is averted.
AS they read the news they grow
more buoyant and optimistic, for the
parade of the British Guards today
through the London streets recalls
sharply the disheartening situation
of twelve months ago, when these
same picked soldiers were struggling

CITES OWN EXPERIENCE
By the Associated Press.

MANCHESTER, N. a., March e.
Maj. Frank Knox, recently returned to
his position as editor Of the Manches-
ter Union after his release from Army
service, in . signed statement tonight
said that he was prepared in general
terms to support the accusation
brought against Secretary of War Ba-
ker by Maj. Dick B. Foster, that orders
were issued to commanding officers Of
mobilization camps in the United
States which practically forbade ef-
fective handling Of fake conscientious
objectors who were inducted into the
National Army under the draft law"
Served as Personnel Officer.
During the first three months Of
my service in a mobilization camp in
this country-that situated at Camp
DIX was in an unusually good Do
sition to observe the methods Of
handling these conscientious objec-
tors, since I was a member of the
division STAFF. serving as personnel
officer" the statement says. "A con-
siderable number of conscientious
objectors were encountered. With
the position assumed by the genuine
objector to military service because
Of religious scruples there wer per-
haps a minimum Of sympathy, but at
least there was understanding, among
the officers who had to deal with him.
But from the commanding officer
Of the division down there was a feel
ing of outraged helplessness when,
under explicit. secret orders from the
Secretary of War. we were compelled
to permit men who were nothing but
contemplate slackers to ind shelter
behind the screen of a suddenly ac-
quired religious scruple which for
bade their bearing arms"
Tho statement cites the case Of a
drafted man in Maj. Knox's battalion
who said he belonged to some Bible
society which forbade his bearing
arms and who refused to work in
barracks. Maj. Knox says that he
took the matter up with division
headquarters through military chan
nels and the man was ordered trans
ferred to company in the depot bril-
gade made UP exclusively of "ob-
jectors"
Investigation" the statement con-
tinues disclosed the fact that the
man had Joined the Bible society
but a few weeks before report
ing for duty and obviously for
the purpose of avoiding military
duty. I say no more than the
bare truth when assert that there
was feeling of universal disgust
among Army officers over the orders
issued by tho War Department. COW

obtectors. Tho unanimous sentiment
Of officers who had to deal with such
cases was that each case should have
