such as, for example, the CAMERON ard
Togo, is the suggestion made by dis
tinguished member OF official German
circles.
The attention of Berlin newspapers
again centres on the hoped for mora
torium, owing TO Tic report that the
Berlin Government has officially in
formed the Entente that it is unable
to pay the Teparations instalment of
500 .O00, 900 marks gold due January 10.
In connection with this situation the
attention of competent member of
official Berlin circles was called TO the
idea of Jean Finot. French publicist.
who advocates allowing a reduction In
German reparations corresponding to
the value of her colonies lost to Eng
land. The German official quoted above
declared he was Of the same idea. For
example," he said. ''the value OF Ger
man East Africa could be deducted from
the reparations figures England could
pay this estimated value to France nat
urally. but deducting II from the French
debt. France could return to Germany
Togo and the Camcroons. We could
build railways and roads for France
or the Allies in Africa. At the same
time we could bring our own raw ma
terials from there. thus avoiding a
further fall in the mark due TO the
purchase of foreign raw material.
"Our renewed presence in Africa
would be no menace to the other Powers
because we have no war fleet and the
proposed stretch of land Is in1nitesimal
as compared with the size of number
of the Allies colonies. Thus 1t would
be possible to bring about great i'm
provement in the reparations problem,
while Frances budget would reap a
great advantage, resulting from a con-
siderable reduction in her debt"

MAY HAVE PLEBISCITE
ON TREATY IN IRELAND
London Reports Indicate Pas
sage by Dali Eireonn.

LONDON. Dec. IL ASSOCIATED Press) -
l. estimating the chances in the pending
struggle for and against the new Irish
treaty, those best informed see no reason
to modify their view that the treaty will
be accepted by the Irish people, but are
inclined to take less sanguine view of
ts chances in Wednesdays Dali Eireann
meeting.
1t Is believed that Eamon dc Valera
and his supporters will be able to put
up a stiff fight. He will have powerful
aid from Charles Burgess, the Minister
OF Defence. who is eloquent and per-
suasive. while the brunt OF the defence
OF the treaty is likely to fall on Michael
Collins. who, in the opinion oil some
writer's. will find himself greatly handi-
capped by all the complimentary things
tho English press has been saying about
him since the settlement was reached
Present indications favor a narrow
majority for the treaty and probable ref
erence to n plebiscte of the Irish people
In the English Parliament ratification
is considered quite safe.
Premier Lloyd George in his speech
Wednesday in the House of Commons
Is expected to make a powerful plea for
the treaty. 1t is believed that the
treaty may be ratified and the session
closed by the end of the week The
necessary legislation to give effect to
the settlement will be introduced at the
new session in February

Dali Eireann is known.
Respecting reports that Ulster is de-
manding some financial concessions on
lines similar to the privileges southern
ireland will get under the treaty. Sir
Robert s. Horne, in Il speech at New
caste Saturday. expressed the convlc-
tion that no responsible Ulster states
man would think of claiming lower
rate OF taxation for Ulster than operated
in Newcastle or Glasgow This seems
TO cut out any chance of Ulster getting
such relief except by coming into the
treaty.
The Ulster Premier. on leaving to-
night. declined TO say anything about
tire settlement. II have auonged with
my friends on the other side" he ex-
plained, that we viii observe the strict

sees It, has been merely an exposition
of the axiom that one nation cannot shift
to another the outlay for Its own wars.
Germany is supposed to pay reparations.
but it is q statistical fact that for every
penny in reparations that Germany has
turned over to the Allies the Allies
themselves have had to pay another
penny to keep their unemployed from
starvation or have losS 1t in decreased
business.
World economics. he concludes, are
but simple exposition of the funda-
mental verlties embodied in the worlds
greatest religions. The Golden Rule is
a simple description of what happens
not what should happen-and might bet
ter read: What you do unto others,
others will do unto you." Every time
nations have tried to balance their fl
nancial budgets on a sentimental basis
they merely took away money from their
own purses. Already there is the pro-
foundest brotherhood between dollars,
pounds sterling, francs and marks which
no hate will ever be able to sever and
this brotherhood was created by the
pressure of bare economic necessity.

IRISH PEACE HURTS
RADICALS OF INDIA
Inclusion of Ireland in the
Empire Chief Object Of
Their Opposition.

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Ireland's accept
ance Of continuance in the empire as
one Of the points in the peace agree
ment, says a despatch to the London
Times from Lucknow. India, cuts the
ground from under the feet of all advo-
since the extremists have largely taken
Ireland for their modes.
The correspondent adds that this
statement is made after having talked
with many well informed persons, both
Indians and British officials. All Of
them were agreed that the probable re-
action Of the Irish settlement on the
Indian situation was likely to be good
The settlement probably would tend to
speed UP the demand for the establish
ment Of the dominion status in India, in
crease the momentum of the movement
for constitutional reform and shorten
materially the period of Indian pupilage.
"The question is" says the corres-
pondent, "by what process the inten-
sification of Indias fitness for self
government can be sufficiently acceler-
ated. but the craftsmanship which
found way through the Irish difficulty
surely will solve the Indian difficulty"

LLOYD GEORGE VISIT
NOW IMPROBABLE
Believed He Will Be Unable to
Attend Conference Be-
fore Tt Ends.
Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. IL.

New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. IL.
1t appears almost certain that the
Washington conference will come to an
end without the appearance in it's coun-
ellis of Prime Minister Lloyd George of
Great Britain.
Until the last few days members of
the British delegation had not entirely
given UP hope that the famous Welsh
man would be able to get away from
London in time to participate in the
conference. but they have now given up
all hope and are convinced that the con-
ference will adjourn before the Irish
question is settled firmly enough to war
rant Lloyd George in leaving London.
The cancellation by Lord Riddell, who
is looked upon as Lloyd Georges per-
sonal agent in Washington, of passage
he had engaged for Tuesday of this
week led to the rumor that the Prime
Minister was coming. This rumor was
officially denied here to-day. Lord Rid
dell has postponed his going because the
delegates in Washington want him to
stay. The delegation here cabled Lloyd
George asking that Lord Riddell remain
and Lloyd George approved their re-
quest.
Lord Riddell is remaining, but will
grasp the first opportunity to return
home. Among all the British in Wash
ington Lord Riddell has been the most
confident for week past that the con-
ference will adjourn before the end of
this month. He is still counting on the
possibility of being able to get away
before Christmas.

of opening her door to America and gem
eral foreign intercourse. A sum of 5000
was collected at this and other similar
meetings. The money was sent to the
American mission board for the purpose

To-day Japan has 100000 members
of the Protestant church, as well as
Christian adherents numbering more
than 100000.
There is no doubt that Christianity
has spread its roots wide and deep in
Japanese soil.
THE policy of aggression and military
rivalry is gone. In place of II new
spirit of International good understand

existence.
Japan is not Glow to realize this

OPEN COMBAT INDICATED
One Official Says Split Is Re-

Into Sim Fein.

DUBLIN, Dec. 11.-While the two ele-
ments in Sim Fein are working under
the cover of strictest secrecy it is ap-
parent that both Arthur Griffith and
Eanon de Valera look for determining
support at Wednesdays meeting of
the Irish Parliament from members
Of the Irish Republican Army. While
the ranks are divided, the feeling
sa~rY,s to be turning increasingly tow
ard the two men Griffith and Collins)
Who made Sim Fein, gave it it's
power and have now brought the
peace terms.
The Sabbath was marked by prayers
In the churches, not only for peace but
FOR internal solidarity. Influential
members of the Irish Republican
Army with whom TIM NEW York
HERALD correspondent talked, greatly
deplored the conflict between the lead
ers. One officer said that he regarded
the fight as a final open combat of
Fenianism with Sim Fein
This man said that De Valera stands
Mt the head OF the party whose pro-
rramme of absolute separation and in
dependence was formulated by Fenians
such as Dewey whose hopes and aspira-
tons were rekindled in the Easter week
rebellion and that DE Valera has since
been their proponent
~"On the other hand" he said. Griffith
Is now boldly grasping with both hands
form of government for Ireland which
before he had any other support for his
theories than that similar to the Hun
garlan passive resistance to Austrian
domination.
When the Irish Volunteers swung
from behind Redmond in 1916 they
adopted the principles propounded by
Griffith of their own free will, Griffith
taking no part in shaking off the old
shackles. but merely assuming the tenn
porary leadership which was thrust upon
him. And now that he has realized ali
his hopes, Griffith is throwing all he has
and all he has claim to into the scales
70 secure for Ireland what he and his
adherents firmly believe she wants"
There were no formal conferences to-
day by Dali Eireann Cabinet members
One interesting topic of discussion is as
10 whether the four Unionist members
Nr Dublin University, who will be at
he meeting of the Irish Parliament on
Wednesday, will be asked to take the
oath Of allegiance to Sim Fein.
The reticence of the leaders OF both
camps is so greatly appreciated that
there is some resentment felt by the peo-
pie against the Catholic hierarchy for
publicity announcing its support of one
party. Even the Griffith followers feel
that this action may influence those who
are wavering. the latter thinking that
the prelates seek to sway them.

BELFAST. Dec. IL (Associated Press)
Cardinal Logue, Primate of Ireland
in referring to the attitude of the
Church toward republics is quoted as
declaring that he dislikes republics be-
cause there Is too much political cor
iuption in them. He had expressed this
opinion to President Roosevelt at the
White House in Washington, but he
added that he did not regard the United
states as republic. at least in the
ordinary sense of the word. because
an American President has far more
power than any ruler ever had in old
Europe, except the Car of Russia.
The Cardinal is reported to have said
that he was certain the Irish settlement
