EXPECT WILSON
TO FIGHT THRACE
AWARD TOGREECE
Ihunderbolts of Protest Are
Awaited From White
* House in Paris
By HENRY WALES.
New York Times Chicago Tribune Cable,
,lhnYHi&hf 1Q1l

Paris, March 7.-Reports that the
London conference of the supreme
council has agreed to give Thrace
to Greece and Bessarabia to Rou-
mania is expected to loosen a thun-
derbolt of protests from President
Wilson, just as did Lloyd Georges
and Nitti's attempts to despoil
Jugo-Slavia by shifting the Wilson
line in Istria or applying the secret
pact of London resulted in a vigor-
Gus American protest.
Wilson is just as squarely on rec
ord against granting Thrace to
Greece and Bessarabia to Roumania
as against granting the imperialistic
Italian aspirations in the Adriatic.
Last autumn, when Frank Polk
tentatively agreed Greece could
have East Thrace and part Of West
Thrace, maintaining an interna-
tional state in the center, including
Dedaghatch, giving Bulgaria access
to the Aegean sea, Mr. Wilson over
ruled him Yeremptcrily. He cabled
he would Aot consent to give Greece
anything in Thrace except small
portion at the extreme westerly end
of Caballa on the frontier to the
Bay of Lagos.
Venizelos protested, cabling the
White House direct, but was turned
down.
Great Britain, France, Italy and
the United States. all refused even
to hear Roumania's claims to- Bess-
arabia last year. as it was regarded
monstro1s to consider despoiling
Russia If its richest grain province.
Roumania militarily has been oc-
cupying Bessarabia for more than a
year, and the reported agreement &c
place Bessarabia under Roumanian
sovereignty is believed to camou-
flage a clever move in old secret
diplomacy to apply pressure against
Lenine and Trotzky in the forth
coming peace p ourparlers with the
soviets.
Mr.. Wilson will reply with a vio-
lent protest against the decisions
when he is advised officially is the
belief in American circles.

ASSERTION OF
N|TTI SAME As
AMER|CA-URCED
fPremier's Stand That Germany
Must Be Allowed Materials.
Identical With U. S.
Peace Commissions.
New York TirAea -ChicagO Tribune Cable,

\ Copyright. 1890.
Paris, March 7.-Premier Nitti's
assertion that Germany must be
allowed raw materials if she is >ex-
pected to pay reparations, is exactly
what the American peace commits
sioners argued year ago when the
Treaty of Versailles was in the
making.
All FIVE American plenipotentiaries
took up the point that Germany must
not continue to be blockaded and
boycotted, if she was to pay the
reparations demanded, but they were
criticised by the French press. The
English press also criticised the
Americans severely for aiding Ger
man interests"
American financial experts pointed
out that Germany could not pay
reparations unless she was permitted
to work. 1t was because the allied
powers. chiefly France and Great
Britain, would not agree to let Ger
many begin to produce that no
figure was set on the amount of
reparations which must be paid. The
French and British named fantastic
sums which Germany could never
pay, especially if the policy of boy
cotting and blockading German
goods was maintained. and the
Americans refused to accept these
figures.
Left Sum Unnamed.
Rather than revise the figures to
a reasonable total which Germany
could pay. the French and British
preferred to leave the sun, unnamed,
to be set by reparations commits
sion at future date. 1t is already
being whispered everywhere that
Germany will never pay anything.
Italy and Great Britain are begin
ming to realize this; hence Nitti's
suggestion that Germany must be
helped with loan and credit for
raw materials even before France is
aided to reconstruct the devastated
areas. Both British and Italians are
believed to be influenced somewhat
in this decisicr by the failure Of
France to rebuild her war shattered
districts quickly.
Scandals concerning the French
failure to reorganize and recon-
struct the devastated areas fill the
press daily.
Tardieu, formerly minister OF the
liberated regions, was received with
Kisses at a theateS. presenting re-
vue with scene of a war ruined
village which received the Croix de
Guerre but no material help.
American army stocks were
bought by the French government
for aiding the devastated regions.
Instead they have been looted, sold
and given away to prohteers, who
have soil much of the material in
Germany. Little or nothing has
been done for the population Of the
old war zone.

U. S. to Permit Resumption
OF Trade With Russia Soon

Washington, March Virtual de-
cision has been reported by the
American government, it is said, to
permit resumption of trade relations
with soviet Russia as soon as the
allied governments have outlined a
definite policy.
The first step by the allies toward
dealing commercially with Russia,
since the decision on January II to
permit trade with the Russian CO.
operative societies, was the an
nouncement last week of the
appointment of a commission to be
sent there to study the situation and
report to the league of nations
council. Whether the United States
will act upon the invitation of the
allies to send a representative, as is
yet uncertain, but at any event is
believed this government will act as
soon as the commission has re-
turned and reported, probably carly
in the spring.

The following letter, from some

on the affair.",

a life that appears to be hopelessly
broken; His present whereabouts
