LONDON, Dec. 3.-Lord Derby, one
Of the most influential peers OF the
realm, has made a strong appeal for
an Anglo-French alliance without de-
lay; not simple political understand
ing but strong military alliance. and.
incidentally, he would get the maximum
from Germany, allowing her only
enough to exist on.
Premier Lloyd Georges change Of
policy regarding Greece. to conform to
the French policy, synchronizes with
the remarkable speech of Lord Derby
and has called additional attention
to the Derby proposal 1t is believed
that much more viii be heard regarding
this plan within the near future. There
are few British statesmen who have
the courage of Lord Derby to state so
bluntly their views regarding France
and Germany.
The French press loudly applauds
the Allies note TO the Greek govern
ment and the opinion in London is that
the French have every reason TO be
pleased at Lloyd Georges reversion Of
policy. The note IS criticized in some
quarters here on the ground that it
sweeps aside all pretense at permitting
Greece to exercise self determination.
Meantime, the Allies are wondering
if the note viii have the effect of
postponing the plebiscite set for Sun
day, and if it is held whether the peo-
pie VIII recall Constantine to the
throne despite the Allies action.
The note nss been published in the
Hellenic press and has created pro
found impression. It's very vagueness
makes it threat. Lloyd George is re-
ported to have expressed himself bit
terly against Constantine, and it is said
he is largely responsible for the word
ing of the note.
On the other hand, if, despite the
warning, Greece votes for Constantine's
return, it would be a mistake to expect
Britain to turn suddenly from the sup
port of Greece to Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, Turkish Nationalist leader, who
has won the favor of Italy since the
fall of Nenizelos. 1t is pointed out
that if Constantine played against the
Allies during the war so did the Kemal-
lists
Despite the apparent unanimity of
the Allies attitude toward Constan-
tine, it is doubtful if they succeeded in
reconciling all their differences regard
ing policy should he mount the
throne again. The three powers reserve
the right to act Independently in that
case. But it is hoped by them that the
Greek government will compromise and
allow the Crown Prince to ascend the
throne.

Economy Plans to Miller

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch to 1he Tribune
ALBANY, Dec. 3.-Various proposals
for cutting down the cost OF state gov
ernment were presented to Governor
elect Nathan L. Miller to-day, by state
officials with whom he was in confer
ence here all day. The conference took
place in the Office of Senator Henry NJ.
Sage, chairman Of the State Finance
Committee
Present were Senator Sage, Senator
Charles j. Hewitt. who is regarded as
Senator Sage's successor to the finance
committee chairmanship; Comptroller
elect James A. Wendell, Tax Commits
sioner John J. Merrill Director Mark
Graves, of the State Income Tax Ru-
reau, and Franklyn K. Lord, represent
ing Judge Miller before the budget
committee.

experts, however, are inclined to think
JUDGE Miller will find it difficult to go
below this years appropriation which
were about Sl45,O 5,OO0 600.
Two ways TO Cut Expenses
There are but two ways by which
effective curtallments can be made IN
the cost of governments, 1t IS asserted.
One is by the reduction Of the number
OF state departments and the other
by wiping off the states payroll

l.tical berths.
1t as learned tonight that com
prehensive PRO, .am calling for com
plete change in the manner of the
collection Of taxes and auto license
fees was submitted to Judge Miller.
Under the plan, the collection Of
automobile and corporation taxes
would be taken out of the jurisdiction
of the Office of the Secretary of State
and handed over either to the Comp
troller or the State Tax Commissioner.
The saving which would be effected
If the Secretary OF States Office was to
surrender its tax collecting powers
would be largely in reduction of per
sonnel. The Secretary Of States de
partmcnt now has five branch Offices
in various sections Of the state. Large
forces are employed and rentals arc

Another important plan is the one
already under consideration and call
ing for the wiplng out Of q number of
engineering departments, placing them
all under the supervision of the State
Engineers Office.
The second way out of the states
