 Nor could there be any hope from an ultimatum presented to Germany after the occupation has begun. It would be like surgeon bargaining about his fee after making the incisiop, It wouiG be easy to inlagi what conditions wa woiild have to meet before the poltico- military occupations would cease.
 GERANY'S BLUNDERS
 It would Dc cowardly. even stpuid. to deny that the German government and Parliament have made terrible blunders in dealing with the reparations question. Even tho last proposals made to Presi- dent Harding were not acceptable. first, because they represented arithmeticai juggling (50000, 100000 marks at per cent would not equal 200000,000 in 50, or even 60, annuities). And, second. because they were linked with conditions demanding at most favorable moment that tho allies abandon their most important ad- vantages under the treaty of Versailles.
 But everybody must admit that tho reparations problem is the most difficult a nation ever faced. nation? No, the most difficult a continent ever faced. Or, perhaps, the entire civilized world. Take single phase of the problem:
 If we offer the manual labor of thou- sands of German workmen to rebuild northern France. Paris answers.
 That would be colonization. And the inhabitants of the devasted regions could not stand the sight of hordes of former invaders living comfortably in their country"
 If we offer machines and other tech- nical equipment and implements. they say:
 "Impossible! In that case we should have to get spare parts for renewing and repairing the machinery from Germany. whose industry would thus become too powerful in control of our northern de- partments."
 MORE COMPLICATED
 The surrender of German ships has caused tonnage values to fall everywhere. and the more ships our yards build for the allies, the more difficult will be the situation in the British shipbuilding in- dustry.
 Germany's reparation coal is offered In France at below the price of English coal, thereby destroying the English mar ket on the continent. and an unlimited dictatorship by Trance over all our coal would bring British industrial economy to a standstil.
 Most of the countries affected by the separations issue are opposing the inn ttz,, rff tar rt1iantitfAS of German dyestuffs and manufactured goods. be- cause they do not want to imperil their own industries,
 Even the United States which alone could take large amounts of these goods, thus helping Germany's paying capacity, is planning higher protective tariffs
 Thus 1t is seen that what we can give is not wanted, and what Is wanted,

 Paris, May 7.-(Special.)-The die is cast. Germany's ill will, so often demonstrated that doubt about it no longer exists anywhere, forced the London conference to decisive action. History can never say that the debtor was not given notice. It is now near ly two years since Germany signed the treaty fixing May 1, 1921, as the final limit. By that date Germany was expected to have discharged a part of her financial obligations. Not only has she failed to discharge them, but she has played fast and loose with other clauses of the treaty and has not obeyed the moral law of her own signature.

Washington, May 7.-Announcement Of President Harding's decision to have American representation on the supreme council, the conference of ambassadors and the reparations commission was fol- lowed today by intimations from repuD- iican leaders in tho House that action on the Knox peace resolution might be de- ferred until the larger economic ana other problems growing out of the war had been settled.
 Representative Mondell of Wyoming, the republican leader. said that the reso- lution, which was adopted by the Sem ate week ago, would not be considered next week. as had been expected in some quarters. Ne would not say how soon it might be taken up.
 House leaders generally, however. said the measure would remain with the for eign affairs committee for a month per haps, or certainly until the European situation has cleared. It was said that this met the approval of the Senate for eign relations committee. Some mem bers insisted that President Harding pre- ferred that no effort be made to push it through at this time.
 TO RESUME PLACES
 Ambassador Wallace and Roland w.. Boyden are expected to resume their places almost immediately as unofficiaf observers with the conference of ar'1- bassadors and the separations commits sion, respectively. Their instructions were prepared today at the state depart ment.
 George Harvey, American ambassador to Great Britain, will receive his instrhc- tions from the President after his ar rival at London next week, but it prob abbly will be a month before he begins his duties as the executives represents tive on the supreme council, as that body meets usually only once 2 month.
 Ambassador Harvey will be empowered tions, and 1t is understood will have authority to Initiate such discussions as the President may direct His statAs thus will be quito different from that of MT.

 TO TAKE UP MANDATES
 The supreme council at It's next session is expected to take up the question Of
  ernment in it's recent note to the four principal allied powers. and administra- tion officers believe the presence or American representatives at that meet ing will serve to strengthen the position of the United States and facilitate final settlement of the question.
 There was only passing reference in the Senate today to the acceptance of the invitation of the supreme council for American representation on the three all lied bodies. During debate on the emer- gency tariff bill Senator Harrison. demo crat Mississippi. said that by sending the invitation the allies were merely rub ping 1t in' on the United States for "dc- serting them He also charged that in accepting the invitation the administra- ton had switched on its foreign policy.

New London Man Named as Local Business Agent and State
 Council Treasurer.

Frederick Dunn, who acted as business agent of the New London
 local of the Carpenters and Joiners Union during the illness last year of l.. (. Sllverla, has been elected busi- ness agent to succeed Mir. Silveria whose death occurred several weeks ago, shortly after ne had been re- elected to the position. MT. Dunn has also been appointed treasurer of the State Council of Carpenters, to succeed MT. Silvcria, who also held that office for the past several years The latter appointment was made by State President Thomas O'Brien of Hartford and. will undoubtedly be confirmed by the executive board when it meets during this month. The appointment will hold until the annual convention of the state branch next February.
 The death of Mir. Silveria was a shock not only to New London and down east Connecticut Labor men but to the entire state. During his illness Mr. Dunn carried on his duties efficiently and will undoubtedly con- tinuc to give service in that line.
