lu Cabinet Discussion

WASHINGTON, May 10. Domestic
problems were the chief topics Of dis
cussion At to-dag's Cabinet meeting.
The foreign situation waa touched upon
briefly, hut no development in the
situation was presented by the Sccre
tary Of State.
Prior to the Cabinet meeting Senator
Mccormick, of Illinois, conferred wifb
the President in regard 20 the proposed
budget commission. The subject was
discussed later by The Cabinet. There
are two schools of thought" as the
President expressed it, in regard to the
budget plan. A difference Of opipion
exists in the Senate and House con
corning who shall be the budget com
mission. The President and most m an
bers OF the Senate feel that the sieparf-
nent Of the budget should be placed
IN the. Treasury Department, but thaf
the chief should be responsible directly
to the President. Members Of the
House feel that the Secretary Of tbs
Treasury should be in command Of fbe
budget scheme. Nothing definite was
determined upon.

and self-goyernment to !sbjeet nations,

and self-government to Subject nations,
such as Ireland and India.
Senator La Toilette said he would
soon discuss the resolution, which went
to the table, Senator Curtis objecting
TO present consideration. He said he
would take the position that Congress
had function to perform in determin-
ing the country's foreign policy.
Broad Discussion Forecast
The resolution is expected to arouse
general argument over the course of
the Administration as to European af
fairs, although it may be called forth
earlier by the consideration of the
naval appropriation bill. The text of
the resolution follows in part:
Whereas, The Treaty of Versailles
is q crime born of blind revenge and
Unsuitable greed and constitutes a be-
government made to the world and
formally accepted by the Allies as the
basis Of the peace terms; and
Whereas, The Senate of the United
States refused to ratify the Treaty of
Versailles or to give its sanction either
to the League of Nations or to the
unjf4st conditions Of that treaty; and
Whereas, The people of the United
States by an overwhelming ma sority
in great and solemn referendum IN
dorsed the action of the Senate in re-
ject;ng the said treaty; and
Whereas, The Senate has by an
overwhelming majority adopted a
resolution declaring the war with
Germany at an end; and
the deliberations of the Supreme
Council may be accepted as an
Endorsement by the government
OF the United States of the imperialis-
tic policies which the members of the
Supreme Council are now pursuing in
Europe, Africa and Asia, and as
sanction of the barbarous and nm
civilized warfare which is now being
waged against the people of Ireland in
contravention of the laws OF warfare
prescribed by the Hague convention.

Firms Claim TO AIand Islands
Upheld by League Commission

GENEVA, May 10 BY The Associated
Press. The Aland Islands Commits
sion, Of which Abram I. Elkus, Of New
York, is a nsmber, has submitted its
report to the League Of Nations here.
recommending that the islands remain
under Finnish sovereignty, with guar
antics for the safeguarding OF the
Swedish population.
The commission, whose report was
unanimous, holds that the islands are
too small for independence and rejects
the idea OF awarding the islands to
Sweden, for several reasons. The guar
antics specified by the commission, the
report says, would be accepted by Fin
land and may be made through amend
ing the autonomy laws voted in favor
of the islands by the Finnish Diet on
May z, 1920.
The guarantees for the benefit of the
large Swedish population of the islands
include preservation OF the Swedish

French Soldiers Insulted
At 0ppeln, where the Allied plebi-
scite commission has it's headquarters,
French soldiers have been repeatedly
insulted by citizens Of German sym
pathies. French officials deny the
statement circulated from Beuthen that
the French connived in starting tho
Polish invasion of Upper Silesia and
remained inactive in suppressing it.
1T may be said, however, that French
sympathies are decidedly with the
Poles. Although French officials con-
cede that korfanty, the rebel leader,
and his insurgent Polish followers arc
technically wrong in trying TO forestall
the decision of the inter Allied Com
mission, they do not conceal their sat
'sfaction at the strong popular showing
OF Poilsh sentiment in the disputed
area, which supports the argument that
1T ought to be attributed to Poland.
The cmi-oflicial Temps says tonight:
lit is TO be expected that the new
German government will or already
has tried to ascertain whether certain
OF the Allied governments will later
aid Germany in keeping the industrial
region of Upper Silesia,"
What French officials fear is that the
whole question will be made the sub
Ject of another conference of Allied
premiers in which there would be a
possibility of discord arising between
the French and British governments.
Lloyd George has never looked with
particular favor on Polish ambitions
and is believed TO be far from accept.
ING the French point of view.
Treaty Is Significant
French officials also attach a good
deal of significance to the signing of n
commercial treaty between Russia and
Germany. The Germans, after pro-
longed conversations in Berlin with the
representatives of the Soviet admins
tration. suddenly concluded the treaty
in great hurry. They have accredit-
ed Auguste Muller, former Secretary Of
State, to Moscow. He is on most init
mate terms with the leaders Of Ger
man industry, who look hopefully to-
ward Russia IS holding out great pos
sibilities for Germany's trade future.
With Upper Silesia lost to Poland,
the French point out that Poland's two
ancient enemies would be leagued
against her and would certainly throt-
tie her economic life eventually. The
French realize the collapse of Poland
means the collapse of French diplomacy
and influence in Central Europe. That
is the reason French officials regard

night of July third at a tavern in
Buffalo, then a busy, crude and rapid
growing center for the shipping east
and west
There were emigrants on their
way to the Far West in the
crowd--men, women and children and
babies in arms-Irish, English, Ger
mans and Yankees. There We're also
weil-dressed. handsome young men
from the colleges of New England
going out to be missionaries between

Buffalo, ON the edge of the mid
land seas, had the flavor of the rank,
new soil in it those days-and especi-
ally that day. when it was thronged
with rough coated and rOugher tongued
swearing men on holiday, steve
dores and boatmen off the lakes and
rivers of the middle border--some Of
whom had had their training on the
Ohio and Mississippi. There was much
drunkenness and fighting in the
crowded streets. Some of the carriers
and handlers of American commerce
vented their enthusiasm in song.

They had the lake view and it's
cool breeze on their way to Silver
Creek, Dunkirk and Erie, and a
rough way it was in those days.
Enough has been written Of this
long and wearisome journey. but the
worst Of it was ahead of them--much
the worst of tin the swamp flats
of Ohio and Indiana. In one Of the
former a wagon wheel broke down,
and that day Sarah began to shake
with ague and burn with fever. Sam
son built rude camp by the road
side, put Sarah into bed under its
cover and started for the nearest vii
lage on Colonel's back.
II shall never forget that day spent
in a lonely part of the woods the
good woman wrote to her brother. 1T
endeared the children to me more than
any day l can remember They
brought water from the creek, a great
quantityJ and told me stories and
cheered me in every way they could.
MY faith in Gods protection was per-
feet and in spite of my misery the
children were great comfort In
the middle of the afternoon Samson
returned with a doctor and some tools
and q stick of seasoned timber. How
good he looked when he came and
knelt by my bed and kissed me! This
is hard journey, but woman can
bear anything with such a man, The
doctor said I would be all right in
three days, and / was.
Late that afternoon it began to
rain. Samson was singing as he
worked ON his wheel. A traveller
came along on horseback and saw
our plight. He was a young mission
ary going west. Samson began to
joke with him.
You're happy man for one in
so much trouble, said the stranger.
"Then l heard Samson say Well,
sir. I'm In fix where happiness is
absolutely necessary. It's like grease

thing we make it if we can. My wife

some country, and it amt a real good
time for me to be down in the mouth

bones or had an earthquake or been
scalped by Indians, SO there's some
room for happiness.

The tavern was the only house in
New Salem with stairs in it--stairs
so steep, as Samson writes, that s'they
were first cousins to the ladder"
There were four small rooms above
them. Two of these were separated
by partition OF cloth hanging from
the rafters. In each was bed and
