German Officials Doubt
Theft of War Secrets
Nothing of Importance Left in
Swiss Consulate i'll New

By William c. Dreher
Special Cob'c to The Tribune

Copyright, 1920. New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN. Feb. 25.-German officials
who were in America in 1917 discredit
the report that important German po-
Gtical documents were stolen from the
safe of the Swiss Consulate in New
York.
The Tribune representative saw Herr
Hossenfelder, who was then acting Con-
sui General, and Herr Lieneck, who
was cashier of the consulate. They
both say that all documents at the con-
sulatc we're merely of routine char
acter, referring to the settlement of
estates.
Only registered letters and small
amount of German money were locked
in the safe Of the consulate. which
was sealed with both German and
Swiss seals. they said. Herr Hossen-
fielder asserted he never transacted any
political business and had no political
papers. He adhered to the Bismarck an
rule that consuts must attend strictly
to non-political matters.
These men and Dr. Fuhr made the
point that if Count Won Bernstorf had
left any political papers IN America
they would have been placed with the
Swiss Legation at Washington and not
with the consulate in New York,

Peace, He Tells Judges

PARIS, Feb. 25.-At his trial to-day
on q charge Of having had treason
able dealings with the enemy, former
Premier Joseph Caillaux forsook the
defensive and assumed the offensive
while explaining his activities in Italy.
Lengthily going over his economic pol
icy. NJ. Caillaux said he prophesied
the economic chaos which would OBJ
tain at the conclusion Of the war and
prescribed the remedies to be applied.
He saw in 1916 what several of the
peace delegates had failed to grasp in
1919, the witness declared.
Never have sought n separate
peace or a peace of compromise" the
former Premier said.
II swear to the members of the High
Court" NJ. Caillaux continued "that ]

political aim throughout the war. But
several times L had the belief that VIC

Appeal to Vatican Denied
To the charge that he had ap-
preached the Vatican with request
that the Central Empires be sounded as
to peace NJ. Cailiaux replied: "Never
have set foot inside the Vatican in
my life.
NJ. Caillaux then launched into a
long address, in which he explained
his economic and financial policy. This
for nearly an hour held the Senator'S
and spectators alike in breathless at
tention.
"One fact dominates the present eco
nomic situation,' said NJ. Caillaux. at
is that France. instead of being 8
worlds creditor, as before the war. is
now a worlds debtor. l foresaw in
1916 that the strongest economic alli-
ance must be made, not alone with
Italy, but with Spain and Belgium, If

We're to be safeguarded.
1916 that France would emerge from
the war in heavy debt to England and
America. War is waged with men, coal
and steel. France furnished her own
men. They cannot be paid for. But
our Ang,o-Saxon allies and the United
States furnished US the coal and steel.
1t was evident then that France would
owe, as it does, between forty and fifty
billion francs to Great Britain, Amer
ica and Italy. and would be the debtor
to the same countries, as it is, for
between fifty and sixty billion francs.
Alliance Only Remedy
"The only remedy was close eco
nomic alliance with Italy the interna-
tionalization Of bank notes between
Spain, italy and Belgium, for prevent
ing the exchange prices now obtaining,
and, perhaps, being closely allied with
Italy and France, and presenting COM
pact front at the peace conference,
might have obtained long delays or
perhaps cancellations of part of our
debt to Great Britain and America"
NJ. Caillaux added that his economic
conversations in Italy wers malci-
ously interpreted as political conversa-
tions. He insisted that man couid not
be tried for conversations. but only for
acts. He dehed the prosecution to

'o-day. The measure at once received
Its first reading.
The bill was presented only in

British misrule of Ireland This, the
report declares, "would drive any
spirited nation into deep-seated anu

"whero the administration is not
merely unintelligent it appears to be

and better shop organization to In
crease production. The shortened hours
mark great advance in civilization,
but they should be accompanied by the
study of other methods to increase
and to expand production.
The heavy taxation, especially its
more unwise forms, such as the excess
proiits taxes, tends to increase the cost
OF living. We cannot do much to re-
duce the high cost Of living until we
reduce the high cost Of government.
When we bring down the high cost Of
government the high cost of living will
fall automatically.
"ln addition, if every individual
would at once determine to save some
thing every week the cost of living
would be sensibly lowered within six
months. The reason is that money
saved and wisely invested is money set
