Golden Rule World Need,
]. ID. Rockefeller .Jr. Saws

John d. Rockefeller jr. told mem
bers of the Mems Bible Glass Of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist Church yester-
day morning that the precepts of the
Golden Rule were never so vital in
the conduct Of world affairs as TODAY
1t was one of the few occasions since
his resignation as leader that Mr..
Rockefeller has led the class and the
announcement that he would take his
Old place yesterday brought out a ca
pacity attendance.
Mr.. Rockefeller spoke on The Mes
sage Of Christmas to Young Men" He
read the story of the birth of Christ as
related in the Bible by ST. Luke and
chose as the basis of his remarks the
words peace on earth; good will to
men,"
Had mankind been inclined to obey
the Golden Rule, he said, much Of the
pickering and selfseeking thatmarked
the Senate proceedings over the peace
treaty would have been eliminated.
To-day" said Mr.. Rockefeller "the
easiest way is too often taken. There
is not the painstaking labor that once
marked the performance of the people
Of the world.
Mr.. Rockefeller expressed his con-
vlction that the application of the
Golden Rule to labor troubles would
result in vastly better industrial con-
ditions.
"The labor forces of the country are
not seeking exhorbitant wages as
class" he said, "but rather recogni-
ton Of their manhood I know from
personal experience that most of the
questions that arise between EMPLOYER
and employed Daa be settled without
trouble by fair contact between the
parties and a man-to-man .considera-
ton of the issues in dispute"
In conclusion. Mr.. Rocke rfeller said
in ternational differences might also be
adjusted on the Golden Rule basis

Decision Expected Soon
On German Reparotions
Belief Crous That Total Viii
Not Equal Expectations; Pay
ments Chiefly in Good s

BRUSSELS, Dec 10 (By The As.
soclated Press. - The approximate
amount Germany will have to pay in
reparations seems likely to be de-
veloped at the present conference he-e
between the Allied and German dele
gates. 1t appears to be agreed that
the PREPARATIONS must be accepted
chiefly in goods.
The conversations between the Allied
and German experts arc proceeding 50
satisfactorily that it is generally be-
lieved the delegations will be able 1T
no distant date to tell their govern
ments with some degree OF definitene 50
that Germany is willing to do. an,
also give to them the highest tigure
which they believe can be obtaine<.
from Germany without too grcat
depletion of the country's resources.
The secrecy of the experts concern
ing the negotiations has been grea.l>
increased, for it is now generally ad-
''Tt tad that the facts thus far estaL.
lished show that it will be impossib,e {
-Y compei Germany to pay the i'm
mense PREPARATIONS expected from her
particularly those demanded by the
french people. The Germans, for thei,
part. seem conscious that ANYTHING ac-
ceptable by the Allies will be con.
sldered too great by the German
people.
AS consequence, it is said, the cIo
sire now is 10 size ali the gvcrnment's
a chance to educate their peoples *
that state of mind where they will ac
cept any necessary compromise.

Leaders Try to
Unite Parties
On Tariff Bill
Western and Southern Rep
resentatives To Be Urged
TO Support Measure to
Give Relief to Farmers
War Finance Included
Plan for $lOO,O 900, ,OO0Loan
Fund by Reserve Banks
Also Added to Program

WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-An attempt
to obtain bipartisan support in the
House for the Fordney emergency
tariff was decided on to-day by the
committee representing House men,
'bcls from agricultural districts.
Recomm endation that all members
of the House, regardless Of political
affiliation, support the tariff measure,
which would put a virtual embargo
tariff on a sc~re of farm products, will
be submitted by the committee to a
meeting tomorrow of Western and
Southern representatives who have
banded together to seek aid for the
farmer.
The committee also decided to include
IN its recommendation for support the
resolution to revive the War Finance
Corporation and the Young -Tincher bill
directing the use of 100000 900 of the
profits of the Federal Reserve banks
for livestock loans. The former meas
ure was passed by the House yesterday.
but in different form than adopted by
the Senate. The conference of farmer
representatives will be asked to throw
their support behind the resolution to
the extent even of passing it, if neces-
sary, over Presidential veto.
Two Objections Encountered
"The situation Is not without diff
culties. however," Representative Young.
Republican, of North Dakota, chairman
of the farmers committee. said to-day
in discussing the farmer relief program.
There are minority members who feel
that they have rot had included in the
fordney tariff all of the farm products
that should have been taken in. There
arc likewise Republicans who think the
bill is not sufficiently broad in that it
does not afford protection for more man
ufactured products. This committee pro-
poses to seek the elimination of these
party lines and other reasons for non
support of the measure"
Chairman Fordney, who was author
lied to report the tariff bill for the
Ways and Means Committee, is ex-
pc peeted to have it read in the House
carly Tomorrow and to ask that it
come up for consideration Tuesday. or
Wednesday at the latest. Members of
the committee supporting the bill de-
sire to see it passed by the House be
fore the Christmas recess and have
asked Senate leaders to clear the way
for putting it through that body before
New Years
House leaders plan to discard all
to the tariff measure, and
attempts to carry out this plan are ex
pected to bring the first real test of
Republican solidarity Several Repub-
lican members of the Ways and Means
Committee have indicated strongly
they may attempt to defeat it because
Of failure to include protection for
textiles.

Representative Young said to-day. in |
explaining the committees refusal to

beef, that it was felt that living costs

By WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT

The action Of Mr.. Doherty. the Min
lister of Justice in the Canadian gov
ernment and one Of the Canadian dele
gates to the Assembly of the League Of
Nations, in moving an amendment to
strike out Article X is not a surprise to
attitude of the leading members Of the
Canadian government in putting
through the Canadian Parliament the
adherence of Canada to the league and
the acceptance of it's obligations. As
Mr.. Doherty said in moving the amend
ment, Canada came into the league
with the mental reservation of protest
against the obligations of Article X, be
cause her leading men thought that it
WAS wiser to set the league going and
depend upon amendments to remedy its
defects than to do so by making ac-
ceptance dependent on amendments in
advance. The depth Of feeling in Cam
ada against another war, and the i'm
patience at assuming an obligation to
make war without 1eserving a dis
cretion which might be honorably ex-
ercised to stay out Of war if it chose,
were quite as marked in Canada as in
this country. The wish not to inter
fere with the general movement toward
the league and the expectation of
amendment prevented this feeling from
defeating assent to the league
1t is interesting to note the wiling
ness which is manifested by the repre-
sentatives of British dominions to dif-
fe- from the mother country on league
issues. Perhaps Article X is not the
best illustration of this. because it is
quite clear that Great Britain herself
is not in love with that article and
that it was forced on her representa-
tves by the insistence of Mr.. Wilson,
and was not matter of her own sug-
gestion. In other matters, however, It
is clear that the British dominons are
not going to act as matter Of course
in harmony with the mother country,
and that is what the mother country

Demands Congress Aid
Disabled War Veterans
Senator McComber Says Fault
in Administering Relief
Lies With Bureaus

From The Trtbuno'S Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-In the
opinion of Senator McCumber, acting
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, Congress should give immediate
attention to needs of the disabled SOL
diers who are demanding Legislative ac-
ton. So far as bonus or adjusted COM
pensatlon for veterans in general is
concerned, he says the real question is
whether the state Of the Treasury will
permit it at this time
Senator McCumber declared the laws
now on the statute books relating to
soldier relief "are not being admins
tered as Congress intended they should
be-"
Congress clearly intended" he said,
"to grant the relief that is sought by
the committee for aid to disabled vet
Grams, the American Legion and other
soldier organizations. Congress did not
intend to be parsimonious. The fault
does not lie with Congress, in my opin-
ion, but with the administrative bureaus.
Congress will at an early date, I
am sure, correct these evils and pass
such legislation as is recommended by
the committee for aid 70 disabled vet
Grams.
81 regard it as an obligation that
Congress should equalize the pay of
those who served and those who re-
mained at home, but the real question
is whether the state of the Treasury
will permit us to impose an additional
burden of from one and a quarter to
two billion dollars just at this time, or
whether it shall provide that payments
shall begin one or two years later in
order that the country may adjust itself
to present financial conditions and pre-
pare itself to meet the additional obi
cations.
but in the mean time I think that

William Howard Taft
Discusses
Canada and the League

anticipated. Her insistence that these
dominions of hers should have sep
arate membership was not due to her
desire to gain power Of representation
in the league, but grew only out of a
desire to satisfy the wishes of her
dominions, which but for their urgent
demand she would have probably pre-
ferred not to crafty.
The selection of Sir Robert Cecil, a
member of the British Parliament in
opposition to the government, as dele
gate from South Africa was the sub
ject of protest by the British gov
ernment, which was overruled, and we
have now the anomaly in the Assembly
of political opponent of the British
government differing with the repre-
sentative of that government of the
league Assembly on matters Of league
policy.
1t is apparent that the smaller coun-
tries are not likely to be overawed or
controlled by the great powers in the
Assembly and that the great powers
given them by the Fundamental struc-
ture of the league. This system OF
checks and balances, in which the great
powers, with their greater responsible
lty for action taken, exercise a veto
power, and the smaller powers in ma
jority also exercise a veto power, will
probably prove to be one of the wisest
features of the league in its practical
workings, and will lead to that neces-
slty for nearly unanimous agreement
among the powers to prevent any use
of the. league for the selfish purpose of
any one nation. 1t will subject all
matters to a full discussion of the
merits of the issue involved, and will
create in the league strong tendency
to base decisions as to policy on de
fensible principles of justice and
equity.
The functioning of the league up to
this time, and the freedom of express
sion Of difference of opinion in the
Assembly, should relieve the minds Of
the extreme opponents of any league
at all, who fear that any league will
grow into an oliGarchy or a super-gov-
crnment or become a Frankensten.
