We may be calm and confident" he
might say. France will win. because
she has the right and justice on her
side. If we were imperialistic we
would not have stopped at the Rhine in
November, 1918.
THE present desire of France is
simple and in keeping with the peace

bsd method of accomplishing this task.
Threats to occupy German territory are
the only efficient means, as we'll as
being the most humane. All we have

1t is said that in the sittings of the
conference Premier Lloyd George gives
the impression of following the leader
ship of Premier Nitti, instead of under
taking the direction of affairs himself.
At any rate, there is no doubt that
in the recent conversations the British
Premier developed warm admiration
for the Italian leader.
Although gossip about a breaking up
of the conference is current and face
tious persons already have christened
the special train waiting for the Pre-
miers in the San Reno station "The
george Washlngton.' 1t IS expected the
adjournment of the conference Satur
day will be accompanied by all the
usual outward appearances of agree
ment.
The question of the disarmament Of
Germany will come up at tomorrow s
session. Much as the conferees would
like to shelve it, they feel they cannot
leave San Reno without some further
discussion of the subject. Belgian
ministers of state will take part in the
discussion and presumably will lend
their support to the French view.
Premier Nitti told French journalists
tonight that the discussion of the dis
armament of Germany would be most
cordial Such an eventuality is by no
means impossible. especially il England
and Italy modify their positions, but
Premier Nitti's prophecies have not
always been fulfilled.

his trip and his illness in Egypt, ex-
pressing his satisfaction in returning
home. He left the station in an auto

When M. Clemenceau landed at Mar

II. S. Ambassador
Sent to San Reno
Diplomat at Rome Will
attend as an Observer
Without PIe,,ary Po,Uers

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. April 21.-Ambassa-
dor Robert Underwood Johnson, at
Rome, was to-day directed by the State
Department, on instructions from Pres
ident Wilson, to attend the San Reno
conference as an observer.
This announcement by Secretary of
State Colby was unaccompanied by any
information as to policy in meeting
the anticipated refusal of the Allied
Premiers to follow the course laid down
the Turkish controversy.
Reports that the Allies had deter
mined upon a fresh appeal to the
United States to assume the task of or
ganizing the government of Armenia
found officials of the department still
cold toward the suggestion. Their at
titude, it is. believed, is based on the
fact that the President. in view of the
failure of the peace treaty, has several
times before turned thumbs down on
every proposal that this country as
Armenia.
Response to Invitation
The decision to send Ambassador
johnson to the San Reno meeting was
in response to an invitation from the
Allied Premers last Friday. In direct
ing Mr. Johnson to confine his activi-
reporter of the proceedings, without
plenary powers, the Administration is
following the exact procedure laid down
for Ambassador Wallace in Paris in his
attendance upon the various confer
ences in that capital following the
withdrawal of this country from active
participate with the Allies in the en-
forcement of the Versailles Treaty
terms.
such a capacity will accomplish little
in the way of bringing the Allies to
greater recognition of the demands of
President Wilson regarding Turkey
and Armenia is assumed from the re-
peated complaint of the Allies in con-
nection with the Adriatic negotiations
that the United States was not assum-
ing its full share Of responsibility in
these matters.
Request Not Specific
1t was explained at the State Depart
nent to-day that the invitation ex-
tended by the Allies last Friday was
general in character and did not spec
tfy the representation which the
United States was asked to furnish; ;
that is, as to whether it should be by
an envoy Win plenary powers or as
an observer.
Contrary to the reports which reach
Washington from San Reno and the
Allied capitals, Entente representatives
in the diplomatic corps here insist that
their governments are sincerely de-
sirous that this country should be
represented in the settlement of the
pending questions. The embarrassment
which President Wilson feels in the
anomalous position Of the United
States, it is declared in these quarters
is shared by the Allies themselves, who
feel that each protest by this country
against the decisions reached makes
their enforcement more difficult.

Plea
For Big Army
Stirs Council

the active army. 1t proposes that the
forces she is permitted to maintain be
divided as follows:
Twelve divisions of infantry, with
a complement of artillery; three di-
visions of cavalry, five special brigades,
composed each Of two regiments of
infantry and two groups Of artillery.
The note also asks for one battalion
of heavy artillery for each division of
infantry, 100 airplanes divided into
eight groups and four special COM
panies of troops for railway work.
Two other German notes were hand
ed to the Foreign Office at the same
time. The first referred to the dis
bandment of the civic guards, as de-
manded by the Allies. Germany April
l9 presented this note, announcing the
decision to disband the guards, to
General Nollet, head Of the Allied com
mission of control in Berlin, and it
already has been made public
The second note embodied requests
that the Reichswehr force in the neu-
trail zone should be fixed according to
the number of men instead Of the num-
Der of units, and that Germany be all
lowed to have eleven batteries of ar
tlllery instead of two in the neutral
zone.
Seen AS Move Against Treaty
In French official circles the German
requests are considered as merely one
more move in the systematic offensive
against the Treaty of Versailles. 1t
was pointed out in this connection
that if Germany we're allowed to re-
tain the general staff and the corps

Allies Facing
Another Break
At San Reno
French Reported Alarmed
at Failure to Obtain Ital-
ian and British Backing
for Their Ruhr Policy
Lloyd George Steadfast
Believes Europe Cannot Be
Put on Sound Economic
Basis Through Indemnity
By Arthur S. Draper


From The Tr1bune's European Bureau
Copyright 1920 New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, April 21.-Enough news
has come from San Reno to confirm all
forecasts of difficulties the Allies are
having in agreeing on common policy
Premier Lloyd Georges determination
not to make any marked change in the
international policy of Great Britain is
strikingly apparent.
The French are said to be thoroughly
alarmed at their failure thus far to
obtain Italian and British approval of
their schemes for the military occupa-.
tion of the Ruhr district. Meanwhile,
the Germans are reported to be with
drawing their troops from the demili
tarized zone along the Rhine and have
promised to have the size of their army
reduced to the limit fixed by the treaty
by April %.
Unless the negotiations at San Reno
become more amicable it is felt here a
new crisis may arise in inter-Allied re-
lations.
Premier Lloyd George dominates the
present meeting of the Supreme Coun-
Gil just as Clemenceau did year ago
and he shows no willingness to COM
promise on what he regards as. funda-
mental questions.
The difference between French and
British policies is seen in Austen
Chamberlains speech yesterday, in the
House of Commons, when he pointed
out that the government was planning
to pay the British war losses by taxa
tion. France, on the other hand is still
hoping to rccuperate largely on the in
IDENTITIES due her from Germany. To
obtain their financial objective British
leaders feel that Europe must be pit on
a sounder economic basis and ~ are
unwilling TO support the French policy
which, they believe, would paralyze the
economic life of Europe if long pur-
sued.
Italy is adherng strongly to the
British policy, as Premier Nitti sees
hope for his country in the restoration
OF economic relations between his coun-
try and Germany and the opening up
of the Near East.
There is reason to believe that Great
Britain will advocate at the Brussels
economic conference the extension of
large credits to Germany and may even
offer to guarantee a big loan. The
British leaders lay no claim to grand
humanitarian notions, but contend their
policy is for the good of all Europe.

there fewer in other countries? Have
you not even in the United States very
serious strikes?
why have you Americans so many
strikes? Independently Of the moral
due to the war, believe these labor
troubles in every country throughout
the world must be explained as a crisis
in the search after a fair balance be-

capital, leading to sounder and more
advantageous cooperation of the diff
ferent productive factors.
Confident of Future
"Italy is the land Of ancient civiliza-
tion, the greatest and finest civiliza-
tion. She has overcome many diff
culties, she will overcome even this
one. But is it fair that from friendly
countries not friendly word should

than fifteen times as much? No, that
is not fair!

the purest democratic principles. We

stability until Germany that great
storehouse of productive energy and
Russia - that immense warehouse OF
raw materials are once more placed
in a position to progress and prosper.
The whole effort of ltaly's policy is
directed to this end now.
There is only one European quesS
tion. Europe must at all costs avoid
new wars. Italy does not intend to par
ticipate in new wars, and considers
everything which is likely to disturb
peace as harmful

Cermany's Foreign Minister
Urges Adherence to Treaty

BERLIN, April 21.--Adolf Koester,
the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, in
an interview with "Vorwaerts" to-day
declared Germany must strictly fulfill
the provisions Of the Treaty of YER
sailles, for in that way only could she
obtain a revision of the treaty. Herr
Rooster said
"Only the German coalition govern
ment is trusted abroad and the Entente
would not allow a dictatorship of the
proletariat here. We must today, more
than ever, have the trust of foreign
countries. This is necessary step to
revision of the peace treaty.
81 regard the Treaty of Versailles as
pact which we solemnly recognized by
our signature, and we must resist the
temptation to pursue policy of pro-
test, which would entirely fail in its
object because of the absolute impossi-
biities that would be encountered in
such a course"

Sens Envoy Reaches Washington
WASHINGTON, April 21-A personal
leader of the Chinese Cons stitutional-
lists, has arrived here and informed of
fcias that complete settlement of
the long standing differences between
north and south China might be ex
pected within nine months. DR.. Sen
has been in southern China for some
time endeavoring to bring the factions
together, and when his agent left China
recently arrangements were being made
for an assembly at Shanghai of the
leaders of the discordant elements.
The sensational disappearance from
Canton of WI Ting Fang, Foreign Min
ister Of the southern government, with
his son, is explained by DR.. Sens
agent as resulting from an effort by
one of the principal military leaders
to force the Minister to sign war
rant for the delivery to him of s. ,0OO,-

the credit of the National University
Threatened by the military leader, DR..

Efforts to complete the negotiations
for the loan of large sums of money
to the Chinese government through a
British-Frcnch American Japanese con-
sortium have been suspended, but it
was said to-day the project had not
been abandoned. Japan has demanded
that certain railroads in the neighbo
hood of the Corean border shall not
benefit from the loans, on the ground
that this would conflict with Japanese
concessions. Meantime smaller loans
have been arranged to meet the needs
of the Chinese government until the
negotiations can be completed.
