British Use India
For Drug Traffic,
Agitators Assert
Everything Connected With
the War Except Germany
Attacked by Speakers at
Freedom Friends Meeting

Resolutions condemning the domin-
ion Of Great Britain over India and
charging the existence of a British
controlled traffic in drugs that is grad
ually undermining the stamina of the
natives were adopted by the frst an.
nual convention OF the Friends Of Free
dom for India, which opened in the ball
room Of the Hotel McAlpin yesterday
morning and concluded last night with
mass meeting in the Lexington The
ater, at which Senator George ". Nor
rs, of Nebraska, was the chief speaker.
nator Norris and most CT the
other speakers at the mass meeting
seized the opportunity to tell what was
wrong with the rest of the world a
we'll as with India. Almost every
thing except Germany in connection
with the war was attacked from the
Four Minute Men to the Treaty OF Yer
sales.
President Wilson and every one else
concerned in sending United States
troops to Russia without q declaration
OF war should be impeached, asserted
Senator Norris, who characterized
that expedition as 'the blackest spot in
the history Of the world Tnc Treaty
OF Versailles was founded upon treach-
cry rather than righteousness, he said
and to perpetuate the secret treaties
entered into by the representatives of
the Allies to enable them to split the
world up among Themselves"
War Leaders Assailed
National leaders in the war had
begun TO suffer for their unrichteous-
ness, he said, pointing out that the
wilson Administration had met defeat
and Clemenceau retired from public
life, while Lloyd George, he asserted.
"is reading the handwriting on the
wall"
John D. Moore. who organized the
Friends OF Irish Freedom and now is
organizing the Friends of Freedom for
India lambasted the Four Minute Men
IN fifteen minute address, in which
he besought funds for Indian inde-
pendence. The Four Minute Men were
pests with their appeals for subscrip-
rions to the Liberty loans, he said, in
sincere in their statements and bully
ing in their demeanor.
"Who will start the subscriptions
here with s1.O00?' demanded Mr..
Moore, after finishing OF the Four
Minute Men.
Nobody started anything, and, after
scathing glance or so, Mr. Moore con-
tinued. still hopefully
well, who will contribute $500 2"
he asked
Many SIS Contributions
The query caused no commotion
among the audience and Mr. Moore
dropped his estimate TO 500, which
brought response from Father
Dooley. head of one OF the branches
Of the Friends Of Irish Freedom. Then
there was another pause, at the end
Of which Mr.. Moore announced & bar

business at this price and invested in

Constantine Considers

Plebiscite Regarded as Mere
Eormuiity: Allied Threats
Held Lightly bv RovnIists

LCCERNE, Switzerland, Dec. > BY
The Associated Press) .-Former King
Constantine Of Greece and his house
hold are 50 confident mat to-dav's
plebiscite in Greece will result over
whelmingly in Constantinc's favor that
the day has been robbed of the usual
election day suspense, such as is known
III the United States. They admit, ow-
ever. that il the Allies arc in earnest it
is possible Con stantinc, after returning
to Athens, might find the country's best
interests neccssitate his abdication.
Former Foreign Minister STREET, Con-
stantine's chief adviser. said to-day ~
believed sucn contingency "improb-
able"
Constantine and his family at
tended the usual orthodox Greek service
in the hotel chapel this morning and
eating he was aware that his fate after
three and one-half wears OF exile de-
pended upon the Greek peoples att-
tude to-day. At luncheon time Con-
stantine, with his -year-old daUgh-
ter. Princess Helen Irene Catherine. on
his arm, skipped down the hall 10

by Prince Paul, with Princess Eileen on
his arm, both of them hopping and
skipping.
Gonstantine does not expect to hear
the first returns from the plebiscitc be
fore Monday afternoon. So confident
are he and his supporters here tnat the
plebisctc is looked upon as rather less
than a formalits. a they consider the
recent election in Greece was a real
expression Of the peoples wilt. The
former King and NJ. Streit show little
if any concern over the attitude Of the
Allies. Even newspaper reports that
France, Great Britain and Italy have
agreed to withdraw financial support
from Greece failed 10 cause more than
deprecatory smile on NJ Streit's face
Threat Regarded AS Political
NJ. Streit refused to express an opin-
ion, but the general feeling among the
Greeks here is; DO the Allies want
the Greek army 10 remain in Asia Minor
or are they able TO send the ncccssar
force there to replace the Greeks. who
would have TO be recalled If financial
support is withdrawn ?" Constant;ne's
followers say they regard the Alice

Of the Sevres treaty, as merely pre-

the Greeks here on tn Allied threat

the Allies, Will know what effect theii
threats have had.

Shortage of Food
In Germany Again
Reported Serious
+ inance Minister Declares
Great Britain and France
Will Be Asked for DELAY
III Payment of Claims
By William c. Dreher
Spoo'al wireless to The 7ribune


Copyright, 1920 New York Tribune Inc
BERLIN, Dec. 5.-Dr. With Minis
ter Of Finance in the German govern
ment said in an interview today that
the food shortage in Germany had again
become intolerabe. He said he re-
garded ii as an important cause Of the
rapid depreciation in the value of the
mark since August, and added that Ger
many intended to ask Great Britain and
France for delay in the payment of
outstanding claims. Only such se-
spite, the Finance Minister said, would
prevent fhe food situation from be-
coming still worse and the value Of
the mark going to an even lower level.
the situation in Germany, Dr.. Wirth
said, had been aggravated by the fact
that France, Italy and Belgium were in
arrears in the payment of the premium
OF FIVE gold marks ton on coal de-
livered to them. This premium money
is supposed to be used to create spe-
cial fund for importing food supplies
Cor the coal miners
The Spa agreement, designed to i'm
prove Germany's food situation, has
no. accomplished its purpose. in the
opinion Of the Finance Minister, be-
cause the advance in the prices OF coal
imported into the country outreachod
Germany's expectations. and the disap-
pointing harvest has still further ag
gravated the situation. The advance in
the prices OF food, however, have been
largely counterbalanccd by stipulations
in the treaty providing for the settle
ment Of pre-war claims by a clearing
process.
England especially, Dr. Wirth said.
got the start on Germany in the prepa
alton Of claims for settlement, and
hence Germany has been under the ne
cessity in the last three months Of
buying foreign exchange amounting to
TWO and a half billion marks in settle
ment Of balances on claims.
Dr. Wirth said he regarded future
prospects as unfavorable because these
settlements. when balanced, would still
further outweigh the stipulations of
the Spa agreement, which would he
completely absorbed by claims, leaving
nothing for food imports by the Ger
man Governments

WILL SPEED UP
 HANDLING OF
 SEAPORT MAIL

NEW YORK, Nov 10 (by Associat- ed Press >-Restoration of the sea post to sort America's mail during it's voyage from foreign lands is being considered by the efficiency engineers employed to investigate the entire post office departments with a view to speeding up it's work.
 Before the war post office en- ployes travelled on all mail-carring steamers, sorting and routing let ters and packages during the trip. Government vessels met the big ships at quarantine and rushel the pouches to railway terminals here and in Jersey City, but this has been discontinued. Now mail ar rives unsorted and the pouches re- main on the ships until they dock, often many hours after arrival at quarantine.
 Speeding up the transmission of mail to the men in the navy, nearly all of which is routed through New York to the ships at sea, also is be- ing considered. EXpediting the mil lions of letters which pass through New York from Conada, New Eng land and the middle Atlantic states to various parts of the country is another aim of the efficiency engi- neers
 They expect soon to make a thor ough investigation of salaries in the department, pointing out that the efficiency of the system is affected by the morale of the employees. All other phases of the post office de- partment from It's biggest terminals connected by the fast airplane to remote rural delivery routes, are to be investigated.
 Whatever changes the engineers recommend to abolish sluggish spots in the mail-moving apparatus will first be considered by the joint committee on postal service, which then will pass the matter on to congress.
