TIRE Us ENJOYS
Americans Called as Arbiters

By the associated Press.

PARIS, Aug. 25.-The endless bicker-
ing In the Supreme Council Is having a
serious effect. The revival of many
questions in which the United States is
not directly interested Is making the
American delegation extremely impa-
tient. The Americans are constantly
called upon to act as arbiters in Bal
kan and other questions, with the re-
suit that sections of the European press,
especially the French press. are assail-
ing the American position on questions
in which the Americans acted wholly
without decentralization.
Herbert Hoover's denuncia ton of the
councils hestancy in Strengthening out
the Hungarian tangle and protecting
the rights OF all the Entente nations In
the matter of Hungarian reparations is
reflected in the attitude of the entire
American delegation. While some men,
bers of the Supreme Council appear to
take the same position, the feeling is
growing in American circles that several
representatives of the great Powers are
not inclined at the present time to bring
Rumania to account on the armistice
terms.
The American delegates feel at a
great disadvantage in the present ar
rangement; the representatives of the
other Powers. being near home, are
able to confer directly with their Gov
eminent, thus making the council In
general clearing house for European
disputes not directly related TO peace.

Geddes, Minister Of National Service and

to-day on Government economy, an
nounced that a special financial commit
tee. of which Premier Lloyd George is
chairman. has been formed for that pur-
pose, ana that the Premier was throwing
himself with great energy into the work
OF cutting down expenditure,
Sir Auckland argued that II was use
less to rely on the United States to
pull the British people through their
difficulties. America had hei own trade
difficulties. She had increased the in
dustrialism of her popul ton and was
not only a great exporter of manufac-
lures but the greatest exporter Of raw
materials. She was in the unhappy
position OF possessing so much that
there was little she wanted and as a
result exchange between New York and
London moved in her favor and there
fore against her power Of export
Moreover. he continued, because Bril-
tain required American raw material
It was increasingly difficult for America
to get her manufactures across the At
lantic. The only result of America
flooding Europe with goods would be a
movement of exchanges in her favor,
making the price of American goods in
this country prohibitive. Europe must
therefore work out her own salvation,
he declared
