to Allied Program
From The Tribune's European Bureau


Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, April 5.-~Even with the
coal miners strike filling all the news
papers the text Of the American note
to Berlin was displayed prominently
mere this morning. Although there
was not much editorial comment some
of the newspapers expressed deep graft
flcation over it's tone. The Daily
Chronicle said: "On the question Of
principle the President takes his stand
with the Allies. 1t is considerable
snub to Germany"
President Harding's expressed hope
tnat the rcparation negotiations would
be resumed probably will be gratified
soon, it is believed here.
The manner in which British COM
merc,al opinion is asserting itself is
shown by the fact that although the
olll providing so per cent levy on
herman goods sold here, to swell the
reparation fund, was rushed through
the House of Commons with virtually
no opposition, the anti-dumping bill
that is now ready, and which is sup
posed to be a much more permanent
measure than the other, is being sub
!ected to severe criticism, not only in
liberal quarters but also in the conser-
vative press. Some of the conservative
newspapers profess to see a high pro-
tectlve tariff as the real object sought
by proponents of the anti dumping
bill

Gomez Appeals to Harding

WASHINGTON, April 5.-General
Jose Miguel Gomez, former President
Of Cuba. called on President Harding
at the White House to-day and asked
him to set aside the general and BY
elections held the last year in Cuba.
General Gomez told the President
that the elections held last November
and last March were fraudulent. He.
himself, was a candidate for the Presi-
dency as the nominee of the Libera
party. He ordered his followers not to
vote, as in his opinion the elections
were fraudulent.
A mass of papers and evidence pur-
porting to support General Gomez's
claim has been placed on file with
the State Department.

Campbell Answers
British Statement
On Irish Relief
Judge Gives Figures 10 Re-
fute Embassy Assertion
That There Is No Need of
Foreign Aid for Erin

Judge Richard Campbell, secretary
Of the American Committee for Relief
in Ireland, yesterday replied to the re-
cent statements Of the British Embassy
in Washington which denied the neces-
sity for relief york in Ireland. Judge
Campbell said that the statements of
the British Embassy were inaccurate
and unfounded when they said that
every case OF distress and restitution
IS directly due to the effects of the
Sim Fein rebellion"
He also denied that millions Of
pounds have been made available from
money raised by taxation in the United
Kingdom to carry on general recon
structon in Ireland. Judge Campbell
however, took particular exception to
the portion of the British statement
which says that there is no case of
distress affecting any individual. or
property which could rot be adequately
met from British sources"

Auto Exhibit Speaker
Foresees Trade Boom
Alfred Reeves Expects Sales To
Be Is Per Cent Of Record
Season Last Year

Speaking yesterday at the lu..~~con
held at the Automobile Club Of Amer
lea in connection with the spring ex-
hibition Of motor cars in the club
building. Alfred Reeves. general man
ager of the National Automobile Cham
Der OF Commerce, said that reports
from fifteen sections Of the country in
dicatcd the motor car demand would
be in the next three months about rs
per cent of last years record break
ing spring record and fully equal to
the spring season of 1919.
1T was logical and proper that the
Industry should have reimbursement
after the hysteria fast year" said
Mr.: Reeves, Especially as the business
had increased $50 per cent in less than
five years" He reported that Detroit
was hiring automobile workmen at the
rate of seven thousand to eight thou
sand a week. and that in the Chicago,
Cleveland and indianapolis territory
return of men to tho factories was
gong on at the rate of "a per cent in
crease n month.
Mr.. Reeves said South Dakota, with
one motor car to every 51la persons, is
the leading state in the per capita OF
motor car use. AS for New York. its
position is shown by the fact that a
recent survey revealed in one day
10000 cars and trucks, carrying 42O,-
600 passengers crossing the sixteen
bridges and seven ferries leading to
Manhattan.
The show itself, which is being hello
