forces, and as their section of the Dvina
river thaws sooner than the part occupied
by the Allies, they have an important
advantage. Tho Allies therefore, it is
believed in military circles, are having
a had time and it is felt to be essential
that the troops be reinforced or relieved
at the earliest possible moment.
London, April 3rd.-Upon a motion
this evening to call attention to the
war indemnity question many speakers
in the House of Commons urged the ne
cessity OF exacting the fullest payment
from Germany. Conservative opinion in
England is especially up in arms upon
favOurs what is comparatively a moderate
indemnity. Col. Claude Lowther in in
PRODUCING the motion coupled the name
of President Wilson with the Premier's
present attitude. He inferred that Mr..
Lloyd George was being influenced by
the higher philanthropy of that great
philosopher. The speakers particularly
called attention to the necessity of pay
ments from Germany to relieve the fin
ancial situation at home. In this con-
nection it was. implied by Mr.. Lowther
that the European money settlements
should not be interferred with by Mr..
Wilson who is able to hear with perfect
Equipment and splendid virtue the finan-
cial embarrassments Of every country
but his own. Mr.. Manchester blamed
the League of Nations for much of the
delay in arranging the terms of peace.
Mr.. Bonar Law replying on behalf of the
Govt. declared that there would be ex-
acted from Germany whatever she could
pay. He said it would be a mistake to
assume any views that the Govt. has been
influenced in its desire to obtain every
thing that Germany could pay by any
action on the part of the President of the
United States. The weight of ~tonight's
motion can not be precisely estimated.
Many members of the House of Commons
are under a pledge to their electors to ad-
vOcate payment to the uttermost farthing
by Germany. Nevertheless it is doubt
ful whether all these are prepared to
seriously oppose a settlement judged to
be the best ~obtainable in the %cfrcumstan-
ces. Tonight's motion was not favoured
by the latest events in Germany where
the situation is again feverish w~ith~moye-
ments in Stuttgart and Frankfort also
growing more serious.
