Putting on Poor Face for Effect-Amer-

BY EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Germany says she neither can nor
will pay the total of PREPARATIONS that
was fixed by the supreme council-54
billions in AZ years and tax of l.
per cent on her exports during the
period. Eminent financial and eco
nomic experts of the allied countries
and America agree that Germany will
find it impossible to pay that sum and
survive. Nevertheless, 1t is probable
that the German representatives in
the forthcoming London conference
will sign the agreement laid before
them, and that the allies thereafter
will get from the defeated country as
great proportion OF the "a billions
as they can, modifying the terms from
time TO time.
The official protest of Germany was
voiced by DR.. Walter Simons, the for
eign minister, and what he said was
concurred in by the reichstag parties
through their leaders, with the excep-
ton of the ultra radicals, who gloried
in the painful position Of the govern
ment. Doctor Simons asserted that
the obligations thus imposed on the
Germans. would mean the complete
economic enslavement of the people,
and particularly of the workers. He
said the government would offer coun-
ter proposals at the London meeting.
Among the people of France there
was satisfaction with the reparations
plan, especially because it was ex-
pected that the first effective pay
ments by Germany will make avail
able for negotiations or for use as Sc
curity the French share OF the 60,O0O,-
100000 gold marks in bonds already
delivered by Germany TO the repara-
lions commission. Great Britain has

many as a basis for loans during the
next five years, and this gives France
the opportunity TO make use not only
Of her share Of the bonds but also her
part of the II per cent tax on Ger.
many's expectations, to raise money
to continue the work Of reconstruc-

That tax on German exports Is a
feature that may cause lot Of trou-
BILE. BY many ii is held to be false
economics that will react to the in
jury OF other countries, and in Wash
ington there is talk that our state de-
partment may feel called on to make
formal protest. Lloyd George says
the tax would be easy to collect, and
he defends the plan in its entirety.

That opinion favoring German
claims In the matter may be based
on false premises is made clear by
the report Of the conference OF finan-
cial experts held in Brussels, in which
Germany Is shown just how to wipe
out the deficit of 10000 100000 marks
IN her 1920 budget. The experts found
Germany was deliberately putting on
q poor face for the purpose of show
ing the world her precarious financial
condition and her difficult situation.
Certain Of her expenses were multi
piled 20 times over those OF 1919, and
certain Of her taxes vastly below
those the people Of the allied coun-
tries are paying. Furthermore, the
budgets of 1919 and 1920 carried a

partly disbursed, such as 16,5000O0,-

NNihbNi AhSi'
Disarmament, small army and 9th
or forms of unpreparedness got some
hard knocks last week. In the first
place the senate naval affairs commit
tee put the snuffer on the BOrah res
day, after hearing Admiral CoontZ
chief of naval operations, and Adj
miral Taylor, chief constructor
of the navy. Both opposed the
PLAZA for cessation of naval con-
struction for six months. They said
it would cost as much to do this as to
continue TO build, as contractors
would be able to collect large dam
age claims from the government.
Furthermore, they see no need for an
investigation as to what constitutes
modern navy, being convinced by in
vestigations already made that the
capital ship is not obsolete and that
the present program of the United
States is correct.
General Pershing appeared before
the house naval committee and gave
warning against unpreparedness
and pacifism. He expressed approval
of n world conference on disarma-
ment, but said the United States
should proceed with its present army
and navy programs until at least five
great powers have entered into a
definite agreement.
On the other hand, the house for
elgn affairs committee reported ia
vorably resolution authorizing the
President to invite the nations Of the
world to send delegates to a confer
ence to provide for disarmament.

Gen. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago,
former chief Of supply procurement
for the American army In France,
made lively and interesting two ses-
sions Of the house war investigating
committee. Severely condemning
what he characterized as political at
tempts to discredit the people who
won the war, he defended the work of
his department and of the army In
general, and denied that there was
waste and extravaganza In the liqui-
dalton Of American accounts In France
and the sale Of surplus stocks to the
French government. AS 10 the al
legged payment OF excessive prices for
equipment and material, he said this
was necessary to get the job done
quickly and was justified by the fact
that the army did the job. General
Dawes did not mince his language,
and what he had TO say of our pink
tea" diplomats in Europe who delayed
matters with their red tape was tonic
in Its harshness. The discussion at
one time turned on Great Britain, and
the general shouted:

here for Great Britain than for the
United States. II seems to be fashion

The fight over wages, between the
railway executives and the railroad
brotherhoods, is on before the railway
labor board, and accusations have
been flying thick and fast. The execu-
tives asked permission to abrOgate the
national wage agreements entered into
during the war, which would mean the
lowering Of the present wage scale.
The brotherhood leaders Immediately
entered vigorous protest, asserting
that the rail chiefs have conspired to
overthrow the railroad labor board
and TO crush. once for all, the existing
labor organizations. They said they
could show that If the bankers who
are responsible for the fiscal needs of
the railroads since their return TO pri-
vate ownership would perform their
duty, the roads could be adequately
financed and theiresolvency main
tanned.
A yelled threat was found in the
statement OF Grand President Cradle
of the maintenance of way employees,
who said: 1.-THE whole thing SINNERS
down to a question Of whether the
employees are to secure their rights
by justice and the proper legal ave-
nues or by the use Of economic force.
This is the question WHICH is now up
for answer. as much as that Of wheth-
er wages are to stay up or 60 down."
President Wilson was appealed to
by both sides, but decided. IL was said,
TO take no hand in the fight.
The Fordney emergency tariff bill
took up a lot OF the senate's time, but
there was little prospect OF getting II
10 final vote An attempt to apply
cloture was defeated by the Demo
Gratis, who then embarrassed the Re
publicans by conserving to have
showdown on the measure about Feb
ruary 16. The Democrats asserted
the Republican leaders had been
bluffing about their desire to pass the
bill and were buncoing the farmers.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
put an awful dent In the Illicit booze
industry last week by an order for
bidding further Withdrawals from
bonded warehouses Of any liquor ex-
cept industrial alcohol. wines for sac
remental purposes, and liquor for re-
tail druggists, who will be permitted

In the house, the fight 10 prevent
reduction of the regular army below
175,000, was openeds by Chairman
Kahn of the military affairs commit
tee. He said President-elect Harding
told him recently at Marion that he
favored an army of 175,000 men, but
that he hoped some day it could be
cut down to 100000. Mr.. Kahn also
disclosed Mr.. Harding's belief that
congress should enact legislation pro-
viding voluntary military training for
10000 men annually.
Meanwhile economy of the most
rigid sort is being forced on our reg
ular army by great deficiencies in
funds for the remainder of the fiscal
year. The shortage in the quarter
master corps alone is said to be $94,-
100000. In order TO reduce the pro-
spective deficits to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum, the War department or
dered reduction of 40 TO 60 per cent in
the number OF civilian employees in
the army; reduction of the consump-
ton of gasoline and lubricants by 80
per cent; allowance of clothing. equi-
page and supplies cut to the lowest pos
sible limit, repaired shoes and sal
vaged uniforms to be issued wher-
ever possible; substitution of canned
food for fresh wherever possible, and
expenses for transportation, commu-
nication and fuel cut to the bone.
Much of the vocational training, upon
which the recruiting campaign was
based, must now be abandoned, as all
the teaching will have to be done by
army officers.
