Washington, Jan. 30-Europe. in
sofar as the United States government
is concerned, must rely upon her own
resources in retrieving financial equi-
Iibrium.
This is the Interpretation here gen
orally of the letter Secretary of the
Treasury Glass has sent to a com
mittee Of the chamber OF commerce
of the United States. which sought a
government expression on the pro-
posed international conference of fin
anciers and commercial leaders to
discuss reconstruction problems.
In a blunt statement of the facts as
he sees them, Mr.. Glass declared the
American government has done all
that is believed advisable and practi-
cable to aid Europe" The confer
ence, he added, would serve ''to cause
confusion and revive hopes, doomed
to disappointment, Of further govern
ment loans"
The treasury department does not
offer objection, Mr.. Glass said, If the
chamber of commerce of the United
States which has charge of the details
of the conference wishes to name dele
gates to an informal conference, pro
vided the scope and character and
limitations Of such a conference, as
we'll as the impossibility of United
States government action, are clearly
understood.9
IF the peoples and governments OF
Europe" Mr.. Glass. declared. Tive
within their incomes, increase their
production as much as possible and
limit their imports to actual neves-
stiles, foreign credits to cover adverse
balances would most probably be sup
piled by private investors and the
demand to resort to such impracticable
methods as government loans and bank
credits would cease.

COMPROMISE ON
TREATY FAILS
Democrats Plan to Bring Docu-
merit Back Into Open Senate
Possibly on February 10
AFTERMATH TO BE BITTER
Monroe Doctrine and Article 10
Were Baking Points in Par
Gisan Negotiations.

Washington. Jan. 3O.-Efforts to
break the peace treaty deadlock by
unofficial bipartisan negotiations end
ed suddenly in failure today and
deInocra glc senate leaders began prep
arakions to bring the treaty back into
f74 open senate for consideration.
Negotiations which brought demo-
Gratis and republicans together on many
collateral issues met disaster oyer
1ublfcan Leader Lodge renewed his
refusal to compromise on that article
and rejected the reservation on it
written by former President Taft and
presented to the bipartisan commit
tee by democrats. The. democrats then
walked cut, announcing further delib-
Grafton was useless.
Acting Democratic Leader Hitchcock
announced he would give notice tomor-
row Of his Intention to try to bring
the treaty up in the senate Febru-
airy 10.
Opinion awas divided as to whether
such a motion would prevail. If it
does Senator Hitchcock expects to
propose. ne said, that the senate adopt
those res ervations on which the com
mittee reached tentative agreements
and then fight out differences over
the others.
Draft of the committees achieve
ments made by Hitchcock, however,
does not correspond with the one by
Lodge ami bitter aftermath seems in
store if openly discussed. Hitchcock
claims tentative agreements on all
reservations except article ten and
the Monroe doctrine and Lodge claims
there were six reservations on which
no tentative agreement was reached.

POOR RETURNS FOR LABOR

Washington. jan 3O.-Decreased
farm production next year and a con-
sequent increase in the cost of liV-
ing due to dissatisfaction of farmers
was predicted before the senate post
office committee today by James 1.
Blakeslee, fourth assistant postmast-
er general More than 40 900 an
swers to 100000 questfonnaires sent
to farmers, he said, indicated a con-
dition, .disquieting and portentious of
disastrous consequences"
A report summarizing the contents
of the farmers answers, prepared by
George L. Wood, superintendent of the
division of rural mails, was read by
Mr.. BlakesIee. Declaring the farmers
were tired of receiving low returns for
long, hard periods of toll, while city
dwellers lived in lease and comfort
with high wages and short hours, -
the report said the replies Indicated
hundreds of farmers had resolved eth
er TO quit the farm entirely or greatly
decrease production.
Complaints was made in majority
of the replies, the report said, of the
high prices paid by consumers as com
pared with the low return TO the farm
err, indicating an eitirely dispropor-
tionate profit for the middlemap.
Many farmers, the report said, drew
comparisons between the hours OF
labor required of the farmer and his
compensation with those of the urba-
mite of which the farmer bitterly com
plains, setting forth the soft and lux
urious living Of the latter as compared
with the hard and bare living of the
farmer who is no longer willing to
toll and produce for the striker, the
wage man.
A member of the commission re-
marked that the replies seemed to be
mostly from a bunch OF bolshevists,"
which prompted Mr.. BIakeslee to say
that in his opinion the situation was
extremely serious
Inability TO eataia farm labor was
another complaint of the farmers. De-
claring the shortage of farm labor
was causing great anita gonism on the
part of the producer toward the city
dweller," the report said the great
demand in the cities for labor with
high prices and short hours is driv-
ing the farm hired help and the farm
ers' boys and girls to the city"
The cost of wearing apparel, of
staples not produced on the farm. of
farm implements and fertilizers, all of
which seem to have filled the farm
er's mind with discouragement and
resentment. is certain to result in the
curtailment of food production" the
report said.
Declaring the letters received from
40, 900 farmers, with hundreds of 9TH
ers arriving daily, contained alarm
ing information that the country ought
to know" the report said, the replies,
disclose such a state of mind and
feeling on the part of the many pro-
ducers and such state of antagonism
toward their fellows who dwell in the
cities, as to give cause for grave
apprehension
In submitting the report, Superin- |
tendent Wood said, attached hereto !
are number of questionnaircs from !
farmers in various parts of the coun- |
try containing views herein outlined !

London, Jan. 30-Difficulties of sup
ply have probably stopped the ad-
vance of bolshevik troops along the
trans-Siberian railroad west Of Irk-
utsl, according to a dispatch to the
war office. All resistance seems to
have disappeared. Detachments are
reported to have reached the Chinese
frontier southeast of Blisk
Latest reports seem TO show that re-
lations between the Czecho Slovaks
and the new anti -Bolshevik govern
ment which succeeded that of Admiral
Kolcak have become worse and that
bolshevism appears to be gaining
ground as a result Of the arrival of
red agents working in front of the
Bolshevik army
In south Russia the bolshevilxi have
resumed their advance against Cen
eraI Denikene.
On the eastern half of the front the
threatening red advance along the
western shores of the Caspian sea has
been checked and thrown back In the
central, General Denikine's units have
fallen back. but in the Don region the
anti-bolshevili are maintaining their
positions.
