PROPOSES MINE INQUIRY.

Investigation of West Virginia
coal mining troubles was proposed
today in a resolution offered by SEN
ator Johnson, republican, California,
but the advisability of the step was
questioned by Chairman Kenyon of
the Senate labor committee. which
would make the inquiry.
Senator Kenyon said he was not
opposed to the resolution. but that
nothing could be accomplished by the
investigation during the present ses-
sion of the Senate. Senator Johnson
agreed to change the reference of
the resolution to the audit committee
to consider it's cost.
Under terms of the proposal. the
Senate would authorize and direct"
an investigation into conditions
prevailing in the Mingo. Logan. Nc
bowel and other West Virginia
fields, to ascertain the necessity of
holding federal troops there: whether
ARMED forces are employed by pri-
waite individuals" and, if SO. whether
the practice is good public policy:
whether "citizens are being tried and
convicted contrary to the Constitu-
ton and statutes of the United
States"; whether postal facilities
have been interfered with. and
whether the difficulties are caused by
lawful attempts to organize labor
unions.

have been able to carry out a politi-
cal move of this kind, provided she
did not abuse her advantage by de-
handing too much. Nobody really
hated France while the war lasted.
Hatred Of France came only after
the French aim to destroy Germany
entirely became evident and after
France had assigned black troops for
service in the zone of occupation"
Prof. Walther. Germanys foremost
supporter of the league of nations
lows:
What Germany's peace conditions
would have been if she had won the
war l cannot say. The late Won Beth
nn-Hollweg. the kaiser's chan
cellor at the beginning of the war
held to the view that if Germany had
won the social democratic party
would have had the most to say in
debating the terms Of peace, and for
that reason the peace Germany would
have made would not have been such
as would have reduced her defeated
enemies to slavery. But even if the
right wing parties had dictated the
terms of peace. they would have held
good as they were originally an
nounced."
Macmillan Harden, the famous and
fearless German publicist, returned a
very characteristic reply.

I cannot answer your questions, be-
cause 1 did not know what was going
on in the heart of the government that
was in power in those days. But why
do you not ask persons like Luden-
dorff. Hellferich and others who were
in the government at that time? They
will certainly tell you that Germany
would have been far more moderate
than the entente has been. And be-
cause cannot .vouch for any of these
gentlemen refrain from saying any

Depleted Forests of Country Are

Free entry of newsprint paper from

They replied to the proposal made
Saturday by newsprinr manufacturers
that duty on newsprint be made SIS
ton except on that coming from
Canada which would enter free.
S. E. Thomson of the Chicago Trib-
une, speaking for the American News
paper Publishers Association. told the

so depleted that mo tariff which
could be imposed would cause an ex-

Production in the United States was
only 10 per cent of the consumption
of 2,144,000 tons last year, he said.
adding that he believed the ratio
would be lowered this year.
Alarm OF the newsprint manufac-
turers over the increased output OF

was groundless, Mr.. Thomson said
because the product was SO inferior
that no publisher in the United States
