bought. This buying was moderate
Some cotton also was bought by New

PARIS, May 22.-Sentiment is grow
ing In British and American circles
in favor of making some changes in
the economic and reparation sections
Of the peace treaty. Indeed 1t is al
most safe to say now that the treaty
will be changed with a view to max
Ing some of these features workable.
The danger Is. of course, that the
conference may get into another
wrangle over these questions, and the
French naturally are opposing any
changes. Whether this opposition
will prevent the changes at the last
minute cannot vet be foretold.
American financial experts now
here freely express the opinion that
some Of the economic sections Of the
treaty ms 1t stands are unworkable.
and they say that If the Germans in
their counter proposals offer work.
able suggestions they should be ac-
cepted. In saying this they admit
that the French got them to accent
many things which they considered
unwise, simply because the French
threatened that unless they we're &C
cepted they would tie up the whole
treaty.
These men now expect the Germans
to present many arguments in their
counter proposals which will reen-
force their own earlier contentious
that the French were insisting upon
reparation plan which in the end
would work out to the disadvantage
of France.
The same sentiment is reflected in
British quarters. where emphasis is
being laid on the necessity of work
ing out feasible reparation plan.
ana In these quarters there are ad-
missions that the Germans can be
or much assistance. The situation
mas again brought up the old uues-
t1on whether the Germans under the
treaty terms can ever pay the Allies
what they want. One example that
Is pointed to as instancing wrong
method concerns German contracts
for raw materials in many parts OF
the world which the treaty cancels.
1t is questioned now whether this is
economically wise. 1t is pointed out
that 1t may result In the emigration
to Russia and elsewhere of thousands
or German workmen upon whose in.
dustry reparation money depends.
Some Of the British and American
experts now admit that the Saar de-
cision might be changed to the eco.
nomlc benefit Of France, as the Ger.
mans suggest
At any rate neither the Saar nor
the reparation clauses are wholly sat
isfactory to the Americans, but they
are undecided whether 1t would be
wise TO again open up the whole con-
troverSy. II this Is done many fear
the negotiations might drug along all
summer The situation hinges largely
upon the German counter proposals.
which are awaited by the allied ex-
pertS with the keenest interest.

FULL TREATY HERE.
BUT HELD SECRET
Release Depends Upon Con-
sent of the Allies.
Special Despatch 10 THr suS.

WAsHINGroN, May 22,-The complete
text of the peace treaty is now in the
possession OF acting Secretary OF State
Polk. but Will not be given to Senator
Lodge or members Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee without the specific
permission H President Wilson The
reason for this is that the President
himself is under agreement with the En-
tente Premiers not 10 give out the de-
tailed treaty without the approval OF the
foreign leaders. A request from Sena-
tor Lodge to obtain possession OF the
treaty probably would be cabled TO the
President however. by Mr.. Polk II the
Republican leader desires to make the
request.
There is no oficial explanation as 10
why the Entente leaders do not want the
detailed treaty made public at this
time. But the understanding here IL
that both Premier Clemenceau and Pre-
mer Lloyd George believe II would be
preferable to walt until the details are
definitely agreed TO by the German rep
resentatives.
Even now there may be some eleventh
hour changes In matters OF detail, owing
to the negotiations going on between
the Germans and the representatives OF
the associated Governments Thess
changes may come as result OF the
Germans being able TO show that some
substitute plans may be preferable To
ones drawn UP. These plans might be
