DIR. Helm ADVISES
GERMANS TO Do A
LITTLEREAL WORK
Peasant Leader Protests at
Talk on Blockade and
Urges Work
WORK TO FEED ITSELF
"On Verge of a Precipice" Declares
the Present Peasant
Leader

WEIMAR, March 4-(By the
Associated Press)-The features of
the afternoon session of the German
National Assembly, Saturday. were
speech by DR.. Helm, leader eof the
Bavarian Peasant party, in which he
protested against the continual ap-
peals for the raising of the British
blockade, and urged Germany to do
what was possible to feed itself by
a little real work, and lively con-
troversy between Emmafael Wurm,
former food minister and Herr Bauer,
Independent Socialist Labor minis
ter.
DIR. Helm startled the house by re-
ferring to sabotage as being more
pertinent than the blockade. He ask
ed:
"Do you know how much grain has
gone to waste on account of strikes2
in the mean time we are standing on
the verge of a precipice. Death by
starvation is facing us.
Undoubtedly the Spartacides will
live the longer, but all could live if
they worked If something comes
from abroad, weHs ar1ti-goot, bat let
US do something ourselves
DR.. Helm concluded:
"Why cannot the government see
that the country's industry must be
democratized?" 80
Herr Bauer said he would not chal-
lenge the good faith of Herr Wurm,
but it was a. fact that every agree
ment with the strikers had been
broken by the strikers themselves.
Minister Bauer announced that a
bill would be presented at an early
date, transferring the coal syndicates
to the government as the first meas
ure of the socialization of industries.
Members of the German National
Assembly rushed through several bills
at the morning session in an effort
to get back to and finish the discus
sion of the national constitution, but
the deputies again fell foul of the
transition law bill on which discus
sion was deferred Friday.
The House quickly passed bill to
shorten the length of election 1nves-

FRANCE OPPOSES
THE PLAN TO Sink
THE GERMAN FLEET
Any Solution of the Problem
Not to Use the Ships
Is Opposed
WANTS PART OF FLEET
Has Two Reasons, Difficulty to Get
Naval Credits and the Spread
of BoIshevism

PARIS, March At is beyond a
doubt that France will oppose to the
utmost the proposal for sinking the
German fleet. Indeed, any solution of
this problem that precludes the utili-
zation of the ships as ships will meet
with hostility of French opinion .
Owing to military needs it has
been impossible. during the war to
maintain French naval construction,
especially of big ships, and the desire
to strengthen her own fleet by the
inclusion of German vessels is widely
felt in France. Thus writer in LIE
Petit Journal, Pichon's newspaper,
says:
"To deprive US of our legitimate
share of the, German ships, If we
think they can be of good service, and
to oblige US to construct new ships
would be purely and simply rap
over the knuckles. I can use no other
expression"
In official naval circles two strong
reasons are advanced against their
destruction
First, as one authority puts it, Sin
France it has always been difficult
to get sufficient naval credits voted
owing to the great expense of the
army How can we ask the country
for, say 50,000,000 francs for the ma
val construction program, when we
have just accepted what the public
will persist in regarding as the wan
ton throwing away of 1,00O,000,00C
francs worth Of German ships"
Second, it is felt that in view OF
the spread of Bolshevism and labor
unrest everywhere, there could be
no more deplorable example than
wholesale sabotage" on such tre-
mendous scale as would be involved
in the destruction Of the German
fleet.

WOMEN VOTERS OUT

Very little excitement prevailed. at
the opening of the annual town meet
ing by Moderator, Arthur F.. Stone
today at nine o'clock. The day was
real old-time "March meeting, day
and the voters were coming and going
all the forenoon intent upon per-
forming their duties as citizens and
conducting the business of their in-
dependent municipality.
The total vote had every Indication
Of being large, the chief ! interest
seeming to center on the election Of
overseer of tn poor, there Z being a
lively contest over this office between
candidates I. G. Marshall and Charles
w. Farr. There was no contest over
the election of other town officers for
no candidates had filed in opposition
to the regular ticket nominated at
the caucus.
The women voters were early at
the polls and took their full share
of responsibility on those matters up
on which they can take part. This
is the second time they have voted
on the local option question and it
is expected the vote this year will
be much larger than. last year. II.
The question of annual appropria.

voters were present in large NUM-

WANTS TO AMEND

France and Japan Insistent
on Securing Greater
Protection
PUT FORWARD PLANS
Point Out They Want Security and
Say 1t Would Strengthen
League
PUT FORWARD PLANS

PARIS, March 4-Returning from
the United States, President Wilson
will find a movement under way to in
corporate several important amend
ments in the League of Nations con-
stitution.
France and Japan particularly wish
to obtain a greater measure of pro-
lection for their special interests.
Japan will be ready to present her
views regarding immigration, but in
dications today were that she will not
make real fight for their acceptance
allowing the matter to rest after it is
on record.
The French will again put forward
their plans for an international army
stating their case in the strongest
possible terms, since they firmly be-
lieve it would greatly strengthen the
League. However, it is learned from
an authoritative source that she will
not make acceptance a condition OF
her ratification of the League.
The French point out that they
want, above all, security of a certain
definite. degree which is not provided
by the League While new "balance
of power" arrangements might fol
| the moment seem more tangible, they
! feel the present state of disorganiza,
ton in Europe makes a "balance'
that might be achieved precarious.
For instance, it would necessitate
dependence in the east on POLAND
and Czecho-Slovakia = potentially
strong states, but also potentially
| failures.
France believes an internationa
army would help to maintain the
Leagues authority in Europe, but i.
! she cannot secure such a provision il
] open debate, she will abide by tht
decision of the majority.
