Supremacy Of the seas" is a phrase
which has come to have a familiar
sound within the last year or two. 1t
has done its bit in connection with the
Administration shipping programme.
Through its use public interest has
been stimulated to a vision of a vast

American flag and American trade to
all the ports of the world.
Attainment OF supremacy was to
constitute Americas declaration OF
maritime independence.

for the surplus products of American
industry.
It was to assure national prosperity
in perpetuity. All this and more In a
accompaniment of an outpouring OF
billions OF American dollars
The view OF the Shipping Board seems

supremacy was to be attained by build
ing ships faster and in greater number
than the other fellow--Great Britain in
this case-and continuing to build them
on this basis until the British surplus

Real Meaning of "supremacy."
But "supremacy of the seas means
much more than the mere possession OF
a greater number OF ships than any
other nation and the ability TO continue
TO produce more. They must be the right
kind of ships and they must be capable
of operating proftably in competition
with other countries. A few months ago
all these factors seemed realizable. Even
British opinion was conceding that I'M

sum to be paid by Germany will be
fixed in the treaty and that the ques.
ton will be left virtually as in the
original draft.
In French circles it was stated that
the treaty as again submitted to the
Germans will be much less altered
than has been generally supposed.
Wilson Yields on Reparation.
President Wilson fought strenuous.
~ to include fixed total sum in the
reparations clause and the close of the
discussion leaves him unchanged, it
is said, in the belief that that is the
best plan.
It is understood, however, that the
president said that inasmuch as Pre-.
mier Clemenceau had insisted to the
contrary and also that he had signed
the original draft he would sign the
reply as formulated.
It was indicated that France was
still determined not to agree to any
material changes in the treaty.
French Lock League Doors.
Premier Georges Clemenceau is
firm in his refusal to agree
to the admission Of Germany to, the
League of Nations Immediately. The
French hold that they understand Ger.
man psychology better than the Allies
and realize what the increasing AFRO
gance of the Gefmans during the last
few weeks means. They say they ap-
pFeoiRte how much tlz3s arrogance
would be increased IL the peace con-
ference should yield to tho German de-
mands for immediate admission to
the league. The French, it is under
stood, are willing that the Germans
should be admitted later, but insist
that this admission must not be in
compliance with WHAT they term Ger
many's present naughty demand"
Austria Sends Complaint.
Karl Renper, Austrian chancellor

conference complaining Of the hard

plexity of the Austrian frontier ques-
ton. The letter will be laid before
the council Of four.
The reply to the German counter
proposals, agreed upon by the peace
conference heads, refuses the German
request for q mandate for the former
German colonies, it was learned today.
A lengthy memorandum gives the
reasons for the refusal and explains
the operations Of the League Of Ma.
