Paris, May 16.-President Wilson
considers that SO far as America is
concerned. the question Of German
ships has been settled, British state
ments to the contrary notwithstand-
Ing.
TIE Sun Is in a position to state
that when this matter came up before
the council tho President and Premier
Lloyd George had considerable argu-
ment, ending in a fiat statement by
the President that America would
keep the German ships now in her
possession and settle for them in her
own way. Whether Premier Lloyd
George accepted this now seems to be
the question. The Americans state
that he did, although Bonar Laws
statement In the House Of Commons
infers that the question is still open.
The President took the stand he did
on the recommendation of all OF the
American financial experts here. Unlike
however. America will not charge them
against the American damage claims. but
will compensate the German owners d.
recuy upon the conclusion OF peace.
This matter OF ships IL a sore subject
with the British and the feeling Is in
creasing as a result of the agreements
arrived at.

taking the View that the United States

This Is likely to cause much surprise In
America, but evidently the President has

Presidents friends say that the German
ships are to be all thak America will get
from the treaty, and these are to no

ain gets. reapng advantages which
cause neutrals, Italians and others to
call II a British treaty, the Americans
consider that the British ship protest
comes with very poor grace.
The British, however. Justify Il on the
ground that II was fear OF tho British

STOP TnE WASTE

w. Y. Morgan: Our nation spent
thirty billion dollars In war. II Is
now spending seven billion dollars a
year In time Of peace. SO far as the
naked eye can perceive our govern
ment Is not materially reducing the
expenses which mounted up so rapid
ny In the time Of emergency. Our
statesmen say we must increase pro-
duction. They advise us to return to
the habits Of thrift and economy. The
government should lead the way.
Increased production will be hard
TO achieve when the producer un-
derstands that great part OF the in
crease is to be COPIED of In the shape
Of taxes. Habits Of saving are hard
TO make contagious when as a people
we take no heed of income and out
go and put out receipts on every
proposition which appeals to the inn
agination Of some group Of officials.
This is no overdrawn statement. Il
is the exact fact which is usually
kept in obscurlty by the hurrahs and
the plaudlts Of ourselves as we con-
template the appropriation and the
pay roll.
Our government ought at once to
do rs 1t advises the people TO do re-
duce expenses and increase produc-
tlon. Every department ought TO re-
ceive the order to stop figuring out
some way to spend the public funds
and TO cut in half, or as near that as
possible, the amount Of taxes when
it will require TO be raised next year.
