Confers With Colleagues
lndo-Chin Held Immune
Suggests Giving Up Kouang-

By Boyden Sparkes

WASHINGTON, Nov. I7.-For two
hours to-day Premier BRAND and the
other members Of the French delega.
tlon conferred on the Chinese pro-
posals. Afterward Albert Sarraut
French Minister of Colonies and one
of the delegates, interpreted for news
papermen the French attitude toward
the aspirations Of China.
France, Nj. Sarraut said, desires the
development of an autonomous. China
capable herself of guaranteeing the
safety of the persons and property 81
foreigners dwelling within her borders.
France finds herself in accord with
the spirit Of the United States and
earnestly desires to help China realize
her aspirations, territorial, political
and commercial.
If Great Britain is willing to give up
Weihaiwei and Japan would evacu-
ate Shantung and the Port Arthur
Peninsula, France would be happy to
restore to the Chinese Kouangtcheou,
which she leased in 1898. But stand
ing in the way of such change the
French find an awkward situation.
China is torn by revolution. Portions
OF the vast domain that once was ruled
by the Manchus are now in a state Of
anarchy. Powerful groups of bandits
keep the Chinese authorities from func-
tlonlng over great areas.
Border Especially Mensced
Piracy and banditry are especially
serious, for example, along the border
OF French lndo- China. Only last
month the native police of Indo- China
nad to disarm force of defeated
soldlers OF the Cantonese army, which
fed across the border. AS long rs
such a state Of affairs exists. t. will
not be possible to grant even liberty
to China. -, -.
For seven years M. Sarraut was Gov
ernor of Indo- China, He said tosday

Armament Conference Solely
Harding's Plan, ''Insiders'' Say

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL (By The AS
sociated Press) s).-Who formulated and
executed the call for the armament
conference? Who evolved the Ameri-
can proposals for naval limitations ?
The country has been asking these
questions for week and has been
hearing variety of answers. The
best ''inside story" in Washington to-
day has all the earmarks Of being
the correct answer.
President Harding, OF one Of his
weekend cruises down the Potomac
late last summer, so the story runs,
locked himself in his stateroom one
evening and left word that he did not
wish to be disturbed because he was
writing. A little later the President
called to his room, one by one, some
of the close friends in public life who
had accompanied him and laid before
them some sheets of paper on which
he had written with lead pencil, and
with frequent corrections and inter-
lineations, something which they all
read with amazement and greatest in
terest.
It was the invitation to the nations
to the arms conference.
After some comforting it was de-
oided to forward the text to Secretary
Hughes, and the yacht Mayhower, laid
UP for the night in the still waters of
4 secluded cove in the reaches Of the
river, buzzed off from her wireless
that night to the State Department
the words which later were 70 ring

New-York tribune., 1921-11-18

OF course the preliminary diplomatic
feeler was transmitted to the nations
concerned, but it is said that the text
of the final and formal invitation as it
later went out was substantially the
same as President Harding had con-
ceived it that night while resting on
the yacht Mayhower down the river.
The evolution of the concrete Amer
ican proposals for naval limitation
Secretary Hughes's bombshell - also
neard around the world at the first ses-
sion, is still another story.
Some admirers have ascribed them to
Secretary Hughes alone, while some
other persons have declared they were
the composite effort of the four Amer
lean delegates, of whom Mr.. Hughes is
one. Everybody seems agreed that
they were net drafted by naval officials
and almost everybody had left out
President Harding until to-day's ain
side story" began to circulate.
The great secret, to which Arthur
j. Balfour referred so artistically in
his address of Tuesday. must indeed
have been we'll kept, because between
seven and ten men knew it. That num-
Der includes the four American dele
gates and President Harding. The
others worked on various phases of the
proposal. 1t is known, of course. that
it was based on memoranda called
from the Navy Department and it was
carried into execution by the American n
big four, headed by Secretary Hughes.
But the 'sbig idea" on which the plan is
built, the INSIDE story" says, came

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL (By The

Candhi Forces Riot as Bombay
Welcomes Prince With Cheers

BOMBAY, India, Nov. II (By The
Associated Press) with a
procession escorting the Prince Of Wales
through Bombay to-day serious dis
turbances occurred in the native quar-
ter, attributed by the authorities to
agitation by followers of Mahatma
Gandhi, the Hindu "non-co-operation-
list" leader, resulting in casualties. The
procession itself, however, was not
marred by any untoward incident.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-The Bombay
correspondent of "Thc Times" says
the "non-co-operationists had made the
utmost efforts to render the boycott of
the Prince of Wales's visit effective, but
the only result was an overwhelming
and tumultuous reception, surprising
all possible expectations.
Experts cay will be severe blow
to Gandhi and hN. party of discomfort
But the correspondent refrains from
prediction. At the moment of the
demonstration Gandhi himself was
somewhere in Bombay, but is reported
to have been assisting at "a farcical

Of the procession a small number of
rowdies got out Of hand and threw
stones at passing motor cars containing
Europeans.
Referring to the disorder the cor
respondent says: ut is not impossible
that it was purposely organized in the
hope of in some small way offsetting
the enthusiasm Of the Princes vel
come. But it was absurd"
Reuters correspondent describes the
reception of the Prince by the pop
ulace of Bombay when he landed, and
during the four-mile circuitous pro-
cession through the city.
The splendid military cortege at
various points along the route touched
the fringe of the native bazaar, where
there was tumultuous enthusiasm un-
precedented in the history of Bombay.
The route of the procession was
lined with British and Indian troops.
A public holiday had been declared
and all the inhabitants closed their
shops and 'fiocked into the streets to
greet the Prince, whose manner of
bearing made great impression.
The correspondent adds that al
though the political atmosphere in

Good Authority for sugges-

Hints at Oriental Pact
Joint Opposition to Interna-

Nations ON Other Issues
By Frank II. Simonds

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Thanks to
the Chinese offensive on Wednesday
the situation is now squarely up to
Japan. 1t remains for her to disclose
her own hand in the Far East, and for
the moment Japanese strategy seems
to be hesitating between a coupter-of-
tensaye and a passive defense.
1t IS true, however, that there is a
marked inclination in we'll Informed
quarters to regard the Chinese ges-
ture as far less Chinese than Ameri-
can. There is very good authority for
the suggestion that the ten proposals
made by China on Wedne sday were
made at the instance of the United
States for the double purpose of. plac-
ing China on record and opening the
way for Japanese declaration.
l am reliably informed that China
only reluctantly yielded to American
suggestion in. making her proposals.
which have already become the ten
commandments of the Chinese situa-
ton. 1t is not suggested that the
unlted states government had any
thing to do with the character of the
chinese proposals, although they bear
2 striking resemblance to certain
American propositions which have
been advanced in recent years and
days, but it is indicated that China
would never have moved as she did
without American impulsion.
Would Bar West From East
Nevertheless, the value of the Chi
nese move to American strategy has
been somewhat diminished by the fact
that the Chinese proposals were vague
IN the extreme. Moreover, the Jap
anese have for the moment eluded the
necessity of definite utterance by a
perfectly reasonable request that China
indicate what she means by each of
her ten proposals and do what, outside
OF diplomatic language, we call "get
oown to brass tacks." The mere West
crner knows so little about the realities
or the methods Of the Oriental mind
and some of the methods of thought
and of action are so different from our
own-that it is foolish in the extreme
70 undertake to interpret Chinese or
Japanese moves, or to do more than
show what they seem to mean.
1t is worth recalling, too, that while
China and Japan are separated on
in their desire to keep the West out
Of the East, and China will have the
solid support of Japan against any
project which suggests international
control, political or economic, for
China, with the possible exception of
that Of the Four Power Consortium.
Now, given the fact that China and
Japan are united on this one large

BERLIN. Nov. 17.-Germany must
proclaim herself bankrupt unless the
Allies revise their reparations program
Minister of Finance Hermes; leading
candidate for the ambassadorship at
Washington, informed the Rcichstag
to-day
Germany, said Mr.. Hcrmcs, had no
funds in sight with which to cover the
500,000,ooo gold marks reparations pay
mcnt due January is and the second
quarterly export payment due Febru-
ary Is. Her deficit this year would
amount to more than 10000 900, 900
marks, he said
Would Influence Indemnity Board
Hermes's statement undoubtedly was
made for the consumption of the Repa-
rations Commission, now in Berlin, as
we'll as the Washington conference.
Germany" Hermes said, "has no
money to cover these two important
payments, and this explains that cat
astrophic decline of the mark. There
is no way to escape this situation,
which is pregnant with the most Sc
rlous consequences, economic and po-
llt!cal, not only to Germany but to the
entire world, except in the case of re-
lieving Germany of part of her bur
dens.
UNLESS Germany obtains an exten-
sion on Forthcoming payments or relief
in some other form the moment which
was predicted by John Maynard Keynes
will soon arrive when Germany will
be, compelled to proclaim herself in
solvent"
Hermes demanded the immediate lift
ing OF the military sanctions as we'll as
granting moratorium to Germany as
methods by which the desired relief
may be obtainable. The Reparations
Commission, according to the treaty,
had the right to grant to Germany
such moratorium if it finds that the
conditions justify it, Hermes said.
65 Billion Expenditure
Discussing the governments taxation
program, Hermes pointed out that the
government expects to increase its re-
ceipts by about 42,000,00O,OOO marks,
but this will not cover the disburse-
ments determined chiefly by the pro-
visions of the Versailles treaty. While
the government originally calculated
on this years regular expenditures at
48,00O,O 100000 marks, recent develop
ments, especially the lightning-like
fall of the mark, have raised this to
$4,000, 100000 marks.
The governments total of expendi-
ture, however, now has been raised to
ll4,ooo, 100000 marks, and rail.
way deficit of 57,000,0O0,00O marks will
drive the total deficit up to 10000
100000, to which must be added the
salary increases of government en-
ployees and other expenditures.
Germany is absolutely unable to
cover this deficit with new taxes, it
claims. Unless the Allies are willing
to see the situation and act accordingly,
Hermes said, Germany is facing COM
plete devaluation Of the mark and
consequent economic and financial
crash.

tried for murder and acquitted.
The girls, daughters of a farmer
named Goldheim, fell in love with a
former Hungarian officer, who was un-
able to distinguish one girl from the
other and courted both, thinking he
was always with the one sister. The
officer, when he realized the situation,
asked the girls to decide which should
marry him.
They solved the problem by prepar-
ing glass of water and glass of
poison. They drew lots and the loser
drank and died. When the surviving
sister was arrested the officer ,disap-

"A vicious circle is started" said
he, when you allow any form of bus

another man says, you let so and SO

Emphasizing the reverence America
as a nation has had and still has for
Christianity, he urged that we not
forget "the God of our fathers" Brief
ly reviewing the manner in which the
American government and leaders
have incorporated the teachings OF the
Bible into their lives and customs, he
pleaded for no lessening in America

to the disregard of all laws.
