Washington, May S-Acceptance
by the United States of the invita-
ton to have representation on the
councils dealing with world economic
lomats here as strengthening the
hand of the allies in their dealings
with Germany. They also look upon
it as having cleared away much Of
any doubt that may have existed as
to the attitude of the United States,
President Harding in his message
to premier Lloyd George of Great
Britain, accepting the invitation, has
made it clear, these diplomats say.
that the administration while re-
stating it's determination to abstain
from participation in purely Euro
pean affairs, proposes that the Uni
ted States lend its counsel and aid in
effecting the readjustments growing
out of the common victory over the
former Central Powers. The pres
ence of American Representatives on
the supreme council, the conference
of ambassadors and the PREPARATIONS
commission, they believe, will facili-
tate the settlements and at the same
time, aid in clearing away any mis-
understandings which have arisen
between the United States and the
allies with regard to some of the
settlements, such as mandates.
AS these diplomats view it, the sit
uation is clearer than it has been at
any time since the Senate failed to
ratify the treaty of Versailles. The
allied governments are known to
have taken the position that an atti-
tude of extreme aloofness by the
United States would give encourage
ment to Germany in resisting the
demands made upon her They also
are understood to have held that the
mere refusal of the United States to
transmit Germany's counter pro-
posals on reparations did not quite
meet the situation that had arisen.

House of Representatives that action

received by the allied diplomats as
furnishing evidence of the solidarity
of the United States and its former
associates in the world war.
Foreign affairs are expected to oc-
cupy some of the attention of the

Polish Minister to
Italy Regrets Recent
Clash in Upper Silesia

Rome. May Sin a letter to Count
SforZa, the Italian foreign minister.
regret was expressed today by NJ.
Skirmunt the Polish minister here,
over the occurrences in Upper ST.
lesia which had resulted in the
deaths of many Italian soldiers.
1T is q tragic misunderstanding,
the Polish minister declared in his
communication.
Talking with representative of
the Tribuna, M. Skirmunt explained
that it was an article published in
the German press which had given
the Poles the impression that the
inter-allied commission had decided
upon a partition of Upper Silesia,
not in conformity with the results
of the recent plebiscite. This, he
said, gave rise to passion among the
Poles, and explained the insurrec-
ton. at least, if it did not justify it.
The Polish insurgents declared
the minister, had not attacked the
inter-allied troops as French. Brit
ish or Italians, but as an armed
force opposing the most sacred as
pirations of the Poles. They had
done, he said, what the Italians did
at Fiume, creating an accomplished
fact capable of influencing a later de-
cision.
M. Skirmunt declared the Polish
government had no responsibility
whatever for the present movement
and on the other hand, had acted to
prevent the enlistment of volunteers.
The Tribuna also prints an inter-
view with the German ambassador
DR.. Won Berenberg Gossler, in which
the German diplomatist declares
that Germany had known for a long
time that a coup had been planned
in Upper Silesia to Illustrate the re-
suits of the plebiscite. With regard
to statements that the Polish govern
ment was not responsible for the out
break, the ambassador said that for
several weeks an open, violent cam
paign had been going on in Warsaw
in favor of action which might
create an accomplished fact" Even
the walls, he declared, were placard-
cd with posters exciting the feelings
of the population against the Ger
mans as oppressors of the Poles in
Upper Silesia. In addition, he said.
the insurgents who took up arms
against the inter-allied troops and
had killed italian soldiers, wore the
uniform of the Polish army.

SHIPPING BOARD
CHAIRMAN APPEALS
TO OFFICERS AND MEN

New York, May 8-Admiral w. S.
Benson. chairman Of the United
States shipping board today ad-
dressed an appeal to officers and men
OF the Merchant Marine asking their
cooperation with the boards poll
cies in the present critical marine
situation.
He urged that readjustments in
wage scales be accepted since many
industries have recognized the need
for reductions and in many cases the
workers have accepted them. The
board has singled out not only sea-
men for deduction, he said, but cuts
have been asked in the wage scales
in shipyards and repair yards which,
in most instances have been agreed
to.
Review of developments Of the
regrettable marine labor controversy
which now confronts this country"
he said, should convince all I'M
biased men that the course pursued
by the shipping board is a sound and
fair one: that the existing economic
conditions fully justify the readjust-
ment Of wage scales and working
conditions in the basis announced by
the board.
ut would indeed be unfortunate if
the personnel of the merchant ma
rine persists in refusing to do their
share in the labor liquidation of the
marine employ. while benefited by
labor liquidation in other industrial
fields.
He predicted that consideration
both now and after the controversy
is settled would be given by the
board to all those who come to it's
assistance in keeping the ships in
operation. The fact that the board
is enabled to keep its boats in opera
ton indicates, he said, the personnel
agree with the boards position.
II am anxious that no man will
allow himself through ignorance Of
the facts to be misled as to the real
Guilty" he added. He reminded the
men that board had effected in
creased rates to cope with increased
living costs and that American laws
give better protection and working
conditions to Scamen than the laws
of any other nation.
The tremendous decline in move
mont of ocean freight resulting in the
tying up of many ships. has ne
ccssitatcd general liquidation in all
directions.
In concluding his plea, he said:
1.-THE shipping board will continue
to use all the resources at it's COM
mand in protecting the interests OF
the merchant Of the people Of the
United States. AS trustees of the
money Of the people it cannot COM
promise a vital principle. I make an
earnest appeal to all of you to have
the interests Of our merchant marine
at heart to come with me and the
shipping board in making the read
iustmcnts effective in line with those
of other American industries"
