COUNCIL TAXES UP FINANCIAL
 DIFFICULTIES
Report Covers Both Treaty and Conditions After War.
SUBJECT COVERED
 IN TWO SUMMARIES
War Debts PIa! an Important Part in the Financial Keor.
 ganization.

Paris. Mar. L. The council of tae greater powers today began consid- ieratlon of financial and economic problems, both as affecting tb2 treaty of peace and permanent conditions af- ter the war. This subject is taken up after weks given to hearings on ter ritorial questions
 The subject was presented today in two specific reports One was from the financial commission of which Louis. Klotz, French minister of fi- nance, Is chairman and Albert Strauss and Norman Davis are the American members The other report was from the economic commission of which Albert Clementel. of France, is chair man, and Bernard M. Baruch. Vance Mccormick and Dr. A. A. Davis. the American members.
 The financial commissions report was brief. giving the main partic"- lar of the vast financial reorganiza- tion that is required. It does not em- for the war, as these subjects are be- ing considered separately.
 Few Recommendations.
 Most of the hearings were present. ed without recommendation which are left to the council and the plen- ary conference.
 One of the main headings concerns war debts and debts made before the war in enemy countries, and whether they are to be paid or repudiated and, if paid, the manner and prior ity of payments Another heading deals with state property in territory taken over, such as state mines and state railways.
 The. most important heading is en- titled "reapportionment of the war debts of allied countries on fair basis" While not presented in de- tail, this heading opens one of the largest questions presented to the i conference. According to the French point of view, the huge debts piled 1 up by the war have fallen unduly on France. which is now carving the lar- gest per capita load It is maintain ed. therefore, that certain portion of these allied war debts should be pooled so as to be international ob- ! MgaTions instead Jof being carried alone hiy France. This is on the the r ory that the war was not fought only | (C'Ontinued on page fivcl

RUSSIANS WOULD
 FIGHT B0LSHEv|k
 IN MODERN WAY
Ask Allies to Provide Rifles, Tanks and Airplanes
 for Army.

London, Mar. I.-Use of only smal volunteer force of allied troops to maintain order in the Ukraine is requested by the representatives of Russian political organizations in Lon don in a statement isZued here pur- porting to set forth their views:
 The statement expressly declares that except for the assistance of "a small allied detachment that could be brought from the Black sea to Russians ask for no allied troops at all. only for material. Russia Is able and willing and much prefers to reha- bilitate herself with her own forces"
 They also ask for war material, rifles, and especially aircraft and tanks. These. they say. should be supplied to Rusias own army compris- ing 250,000 me thunder Admiral Kol- chak, with headquarters at Omsk, and another 250,000 men under the command of General Denikene, who is reported to have just poined forces with those of the Cossack leader on the Don, FGeneral Kraznoff. The Rus sians appeal also for moral allied sup port and recognition. Bolshevism must be placed outside the pale of society and declare that "such pro- nouncement on the part of the allies has never yet been made but would have tremendous influence and inn portance.
 Plan Operations.
 A plan of military operations aimed at the bolsheviki is suggested by the l Russian delegation. It proposes that { the forces of Admiral Kolchak and General Denikine be joined and adds that if this were done three-fourths of the task would be accomplished and "the collapse of bolshevism would be only matter of weeks" The net step proposed would be to sevXer the bolsheviki communications between north and south Russia. The Rus sian delegation pointed out that Gen eral Denikine is being assisted by the allies from the Black sea from whicf he was only six hours distant an( they asserted that as soon as he hat enough material he would move nortf and join Admiral KOlchak, and mov' toward Tsaritsin, an important strat egic center in southeastern Dussia. They declare that the armies 0 General Denikine and Admiral Kol chak are Large and well organizet but are now separated by the holshe wiki; and we are asking that the shall be supported. The physica force of bolshevism can be easily ant quickly dissipated in this fashion"

GERMANS GETTING
 BUSY WITH TRADE
Censored Mail Now Deals Largely
 With Matters of Importing and Exporting Goods
By Associated Prsss

By Associated Press
 With the American Army of Occupa- ton, April 8.-German mail passing through the American censorship recently has been madeup principally of letters relating to resumption of commercial re- lations with the United States, Great materials and articles of clothing take up a predominant place in the letters referring to business matters. and from indications in the mail it would seem that great deal of cloth is being inn ported into occupied Germany from France and Alsace-Lorraine.
 The head of chemical works in Win kel and Wiesbaden, writing to New York concern, says that since commer- cial relations between the United States and the occupied territory of Germany are about to be renewed, he desires to order at once several hundred tons of phosphates. He believes he will be able to arrange for the import permit for this shipment. Quotations F. O. B. at Ant werp or Rotterdam are requested, pay ment to be made from credits which the firm still has in America.
 In circular trade letter bank in Hamburg says that in event the German vessels surrendered to the allies are not returned IL WOulQ pc the uuty or the government to replace the lost tonnage. The letter sets forth also that the ship building industry is in position to turn out million tons of shipping within a year, and that materials, such as lead, steel and copper are at hand in sufficient quantities to carry out this programme.
 Shoemakers throughout the American occupied area recently have been buying leather scraps from the third United States army, this leather having been abandoned by the German army after the armistice. In Coblenz alone it is es- timated more than $1,000,000 worth of leather was found by the Are1Icans in the various storehouses of the eighth German army corps.
 According to the letters there appears to be no shortage in Germany of met als such as steel, iron, zinc and tin and there are enormous stocks of ma chinery of various kinds on hand. Lack of coal and inadequate transportation facilities, such as shortage of freight cars, are the deciding factors in curtail- ing the business and industrial activities of the country.
