French Ambassador Believed
| Too Close to Wilson and Is

By {. +. BERTELLI.
Universal Service.

PARIS, April 17.-Jules Jean JUS
serand, French ambassador to the
United States, will be recalled by
the French government as soon as
Rene Viviani returns from his Amer
ican mission, according to informa-
tion obtained today from an unim-
peachable diplomatic source, con-
firming earlier dispatches.
TOO CLOSE TO WILSON. A
The Ambassador Is charged, first.
with haying entangled himself too
much with former President Wilson
second, with MISUNDERSTANDING COM
pIetely the American point of view,
having consistently misinformed the
French government of the American
attitude; and. third. with superlative
inefficiency, the French foreign office
not yet being in possession of the full
text of President Harding's message to
Congress.
Co-incidentally. NJ. viviani's mission
Is hailed as a great success. Although
the foreign Office has not received
official confirmation of Stephen Lau-
sanne's dispatch to the effect that tho
United States has decided to re-enter
European diplomacy. no doubt is en-
tertained here that happy results
were obtained by the
mission of viviani r. rne.
MEssAGE<

conceptfy President
Ha.ding's Efforts are being
made to convince Frenchmen tina.
America. after declaring she did not
want substantial reparations from
Germany. has now changed her ideas,
with the new Administration bein,;
about to re-enter the European dip
lomatic arena in order to exact n fair
share of the booty. q
on this misconception the argument
is based that the United States cannot
make a'separate peace with Germany
because she would thus denounce the
advantages provided under the ver-
sailles treaty. The conclusion ar
rived at is that a great diplomatic
victory has been assured to the allies
by obliging the United States to ap-
point representative to the various
commissions and thus take an active
hand in European affairs.

Congress in dealing with imports
from foreign countries and the in
dustrial problem generally, plans
to ignore the conditions OF ex-
change in forcing currencies and
to fix a minimum value for foreign
money--at one-third Of the pre-
war value.
Thus, anybody importing goods
from Germany and paying for
them in marks worth a cent and a
half would be compelled to pay
duty on an arbitrary value of
EIGHT CENTS for the mark.
This would be equivalent to duty
of about four hundred per cent on
all German goods, added to the
regular duty.
It might also be an excellent
thing for middle men in England
and France. They could buy the
goods in Germany, with cheap
marks. then sell to American i'm
porters, charging the Americans
in pounds sterling. Thus they
would obtain admittance to the
United States markets without
any excess tariff based on ignor-
ing the actual facts in foreign ex-
change. In this proposition there
are many features that in

importers, and business men gen
