PARIS, Sept 3.-A tremendous

government must intervene by grant

can extremely dangerous situation
will result in case the United States
government does not assist pro-
ducers in finding outlets for their
goods. During the war, American
products of all kinds increased three
fold. Unless there are permanent
markets for these products, terrible
reaction is inevitable, counteractins

caused the present efficiency.
American farmers are entitled to
the greatest consideration. After gov
ernment stimulation, their produc-

Hoover maintained that he had no
knowledge of the war departments

his purchase of large quantities from
Italy. He said he would have bought

ACCEPT PEACE

[United Press Leased Wire Service. |
BERLIN, Sept 2.-The Austrian
national assembly is certain to accept
the peace treaty by Saturday, Vienna
dispatch to the Zeitung Mittag reports
today 1t is understood that the Ger.
man coalitionists, favoring an Ausaro-
German union, oppose the treaty, but
it's acceptance is supported by the
Christian socialists and the social

Austria Must Pay.
PARIS, Sept. 3.-The people of
Austria although that country is no
longer under the monarchial regime
that brought on the war, cannot es-
cape responsibility for the conflict,
and must pay for it's consequences.
This is the message being conveyed
to Vienna today by Dr. Karl Renner,
Austrian chancellor, who was hand.
ed the peace treaty yesterday.
At the same time Renner was given
the treaty, he received the allied re-
ply to the Austrian counter-proposals.
Austrias plea for clemency was re-.
iected, the allies pointing out that
the war was precipitated by an ulti-
luIl W SSt Dli II Oiih liAS ' AS&34its
government and that the Austrian
people made no effort to curb the
militarist spirit which dominated the
Hapsburg regime.
In answering Austrias protest with
regard to the formation of new states
from the late Austro-Hungarian ma
ton, the allies declared partition was
an inevitable result of the policy Of
ascendency which the Vienna gov
ernment pursued over subject peo-
pies.
The allies pointed out, however.
that they were eager to assist Aus
tria in adapting herself to her new
position, and for this reason had
made certain economic notifications
in the treaty Austria will receive
coal from Czecho- -Slovakia and Po-
land in return for raw materials.
The allies refused to grant any fur
ther territorial concessions.
The allied note, signed by Premier
Clemenceau, requires an answer in
five days.
