Supreme Council Attempts to Settle German Preparations
 and DiSarmamentS.
EXTEND TIME FOR LATTER
Austria's Plight to Be Investigated Morris and Shidehara Devise Plan for American-Japanese Accord Railways Prepare to
 Ask Reduction of
 Wages.
By EDWARD W. PACKARD.

Germany, Austria and Turkey were on the anxious seat last week and va rious other nations were only less con- cerned. For the supreme council of the allies was in session in Paris dis cusslng reparations, disarmament, the salvation of Austria and the revision of the treaty of Sevres. Between ses- siOns Premier Lloyd George lunched and dined and talked in private with Premier Briand, and gradually won him over to a policy of greater con ciliatIon. It is probable that this was quite agreeable to M. Briand, but he had to put up some argument to satis- fy the French people, who are doomed to disappointment.
 When the matter of German repara- tions came up, DOumer, the French minister of finance, made a long ad- dress in which he insisted that France must be paid 4O0,OO0,OO0OOO gold marks. He stated, as the policy of France. that Germany must be pre- sented with an itemized bill for war damages caused by her, and that the supreme council should then fix the amount that Germany must pay within the next five years. Lloyd George and his colleagues wished to concentrate on what Germany is able to pay, and said there were three ways in which she could make payment-in silver, in gold and in goods. The discussion de veloped that Great Britain has objec- tions to the two last named. It is held that if Germany is compelled to pay over any considerable amount of the hundred million gold marks she is SUD- posed to be holding as a reserve, the mark would become practically worth less and the economic situation in Eu- rope would be worse than ever. The British also point out that if Ger many pays in goods the markets would be glutted and English industries ruined. One other method of partial payment to France has been proposed the sending of German laborers to reconstruct the devastated regions. But this is opposed by France on the ground that the people of those re- gions are without employment and need the payment for doing the re- construction work.
 It was on the question of disarm- ament that the French yielded most. General NOllet's report said that the Germans were not faithfully carrying out the treaty terms in that respect, but this was contradicted by the re- port of the British General Bingham. The councils military experts, with Marshal FOch as chairman, then got to- gether and agreed to abandon the orig inal French demand that the civil mill itary organizations of Bavaria and East Prussia be disbanded at once. "A delay until July 1 was granted, but FOeh insisted on guarantees by mili- tary occupation of the Ruhr district if the terms were not executed by that date. In view of the stubborn atti- tude maintained by the governments of Bavaria and East Prussia and the leaders of the organizations in ques- tiOn, it is not easy to see how the cen traI government at Berlin can bring about the disbandment by July if, as 1t says, 1t cannot do so now.

Valentine Day In Denmark.

In Denmark St. Valentines day from time immemoriaI has been associated with the snow drop. The Danish lover sends to his sweetheart on this day a bouquet of these blossoms, with a card bearing an appropriate verse. On this card are as many pin bricks as there are letters in his name. Should the recipient of the card be able to guess the name, custom binds her to give the sender some colored eggs at Easter.

Union laborers who believe Samuel Gompers and his associates have proved incompetent leaders and "have directed the toilers' industrial ship into the whirlpool of fallacy and cor rupt politics" have just started the organization of a new national labor movement called the American League of Union Workingmen. Its organiz- CTS declare they are for America and American ideals and conceptions and that they hope to establish cordial re- lations between their leaders and the Harding administration.

The senate has passed the bill for government regulation of the meat packing industry, which, according to its proponents, will protect both the stock raisers and the consumers from alleged price control by the packers. Eighteen Republicans, mostly Progress sives, joined forces with 2S Demo- crats to carry the bill through, the vote being 46 to 8. Washington cor respondents predicted that it would not get through the house, at least during this session.

President Wilson's note, asking that, before he undertake mediation for Ar menia, the great powers promise Rus sia that her territorial integrity shall not be invaded, seems to have met with little response from the capitals of Europe, though it may be the states men are merely digesting 1t. Armenia herself appears to have ceased to in terest any except the philanthropists who know that her people still are suf- fering and oppressed. As for Russia, the main development of recent days is the progress of the negotiations for resumption of trade between her and Great Britain. The soviet envoy has received the terms demanded by the British, and it is likely they will be accepted. The movement toward the same end in the United States has received a setback in the senate com mittee, where a majority seems op- posed to an arrangement which they think involves the recognition of the soviet government.
 That same Wilson note was inter- preted in this country as aiming chief ly at .Japan's- continued occupation of VladivostOk and the surrounding DOT tiOn of Siberia, and in this light might have been generally approved if the Republican press had not jumped on it as a presumptuous attempt to es- tablish a policy by a repudiated ad- ministration. Anyhow, the Japanese so far have not given 1t official atten- tiOn; neither have they made any move toward getting out of Vladivo- stok. The murder of an American naval lieutenant by one of their sen tries, and other unwarranted acts. however, have forced Tokyo to dis avOw all such actions

commercial treaty which will grant to Japanese subjects lawfully in this country equal civil rights with the na- tionals of any other foreign nation.
 2. A revision of the existing "gen- tlemen's agreement" so as to make 1t conform to present-day requirements, and to that end would absolutely pro- hibit Japanese emigration to America and the Hawaiian islands, while admit ting it to the Philippines.
 At home the Japanese government was violently attacked by the OppO- sitiOn leaders for it's alleged failure in diplomatic negotiations with the United States, Great Britain, China and Siberia, and for keeping troops in Siberia. In reply to the latter charge Premier Hara said he would like to withdraw those troops. but he be- lieved their maintenance in Sibe- "a was necessary for the national de fense. He admitted that the bolshe vizing of Siberia could not be checked.
 Hundreds of thousands of workers in the United States are without em- ployment, but the situation is growing better daily. In the North the textile mills and many of the automobile plants are reOpening, and in the South the cotton mills are resuming opera tiOnS. To be sure, the worker is often compelled to accept either a shorter week or reduced wages. The down ward trend in pay has now reached the railways, and last week the labor committee of the American ASsocia- tion of Railway Executives met in Chicago to lay plans for a request that the United States railway labor board authorize a reduction of wages. One minor road in the Southeast al- ready has asked for such authority.
 The railway executives say that at the present rates the properties are not earning the 6 per cent return guaranteed by the transportation act; that the rates now are as high as the business can be expected to bear; that forces have been cut to the minl- mum consistent with safe operation, and that the only remaining place for a reduction in expenses is the wage scale. They also will show the fed eral board that wage increases of more than 120 per cent since the President signed the Adamson eight hour law have accounted for almost two-thirds of the increase in operat- ing expenses from $3,1O0,OOO,0OO to nearly $6,OOO,OOOOOO a year and that the national industrial conference boards estimates show that the cost of living has decreased.

participate in the loan. But Lloyd George said this was out of the ques- tion, calling attention to the difficulty in obtaining f1O,OOO,OO0 to build hOus- es in London. The council, feeling that the case of Austria is so closely bound up in the general central Eu- ropean situation, referred the whole matter to a special committee, made up of the commerce ministers of the al- lied nations, for investigation.
 Admitting that the treaty of Sevres, with Turkey. must be revised, the council decided that representatives of the allies shall hold a conference with Turkish and Greek representatives in London in the latter part of February. If the governments of COnstantinOple and Angora can get together for the purpose, they will be allowed to send a joint delegation. To this extent the council recognizes the Turkish Ma tiOnalist government, and It probably Is the least it can do in view of the strong position of Mustapha Renal Pasha and his recent military sue cesses against the Greeks In Asia Minor.
