but international financial pirates"
and advised all the minority groups
to unite on one ticket.

ed Press) The decision of the Polish
government to appeal to. the Spa con-
ference for moral and material help
in the fight against the Bolsheviki
comes as a climax to a task extending
over many months in securing ammu-
milton held up in London by the refus-
al of workingmen to load the ships and
by the withholding Of other shipments
by the Czechs, it is declared, in re-
taliating for the disagreement over the
Teschen district plebiscite.
(Spa dispatches tell of the arrival of
a Polish note there. probably the ap-
peal referred to, but state that the
note was SO garbled in transmission
that it could not be deciphered.)
The Poles charge that the Czechs
delayed Indefinitely a train of SO cars
of ammunition for which Poland had
urgent need just prior to the Bolshevik
attack. Austria is also said to have
been hindering = shipments, holding
that they are contrary to the peace
treaty.

withdraw before the Bolsheviki's in

GOVERNORS OF SIX .

SPECIAL COMMITTEE
Says Coal Operators Have Been
Sending Product Everywhere
But to Regular Customers in
New England-High Bids by
Foreign Interests-Section's
Industries Menaced

Boston. July 10.-The worst steam
coal crisis in the history of New
England. much worse and more dan
gerous than during the war, faces
this section unless quick and effec-
tive relief is had. according to a re-
port made to the governors of the
New England states today. The re-
port was drawn up by the represen-
tatives Of the governors at a recent
conference with the interstate COM
merce commission who include the
lieutenant governors, public abilities
commissioners or fuel administrators
of all six states.
New England consumers have been
crowded off the Hampton Roads
piers since the first of April by "a
disorderly and unrestricted flow OF
export coal" from which the coal
operators are making enormous pro-
fits, the report asserted. Not only
New England, but much of the coun-
try is suffering from the "inordinate
and extraordinary" export demands
and 1.-The present plight of the north
western states is quite as bad, and
perhaps today even worse than New
England" it was said.
Declaring that the trouble has
been that the coal operators have
been sending the larger part of their
coal to the four corners of the earth
instead of to the regular customers
in New England and elsewhere" the
governors representatives said, how
ever that the fuel crisis is a trans
porting problem.
Foreign interests many of them
backed by their national government
and determined to get the coal with
out regard to price," by their sue
cessful bid for export coal at Hamp-
ton Roads are, in fact, buying a
portion" Of the limited railroad ia
cilities, which at the utmost, can

says.
New England does not seek tc
draw away from any other state OF
group of states, nor to bring any
extra cars of coal over the pier lines
according to the commissioners. II
only asks that "a sufficient number
Of cars now actually in this pier ser.

for New England consumers to draw

Spa, July IL (By the A. P.)-The
German reparations plan is in three
parts. 1t was submitted to the con-
ference with the understanding that
it must be accepted as whole. The
plan follows:
Part /, Section 1.-The. German
government considers that the pur-
pose of the present negotiations is to
make a final settlement of their en-
tire obligations for reparations.
Section 2.-The German govern
ment, knowing that it is obliged I'M
der the treaty to pay on May l, 1921
10000, 100000 gold marks. considers
that it haze already paid not only
that sum but much higher one, ac-
cording to it's accounts.
Section Three sets forth that in
providing for the future, the German
government would be unable to full
fill its obligations unless the Ger
man budget can be balanced.
Section Four provides that the
measure of Germany's ability to pay,
owing to her weakened economic
structure. requires that she should
have necessary fodder, fertilizers and
other raw materials.
Section Five names the principles
upon which the German government
considers its payments should be
regulated. (a) by annuities; (b) an
nuities to be limited to so years.
Various other sub-sections affirm
that a certain sum should be agreed
upon. after the payment of which
Germany should be completely free:
