LONDON, Feb. .9.-The Westminster
Gazette raisesa question to-day Whether
the settlement. of sGermany's repara-
tion account wont do Great Britain as
much harm as it will good, particularly
in view Of the. governments declara-
ton that Germany must pay in raw
materials.
Germany has lost the coal and iron
mines of Aisace-Lorraine," says the
newspaper. "She probably will lose
Silesia. Then, apart, from certain
quantities of potash, Germany hasn't
any raw materials to send But Sir
Robert Horne president of the Board
of Trade) has his solution Of the
dilemma.
Germany he says, could get raw
materials from other countries in ex-
change for finished goods
When the British trader takes his
finished goods to the markets of the
world he is to find them supplied with
German goods. What is the value of
the raw materials when finished goods
made from these materials cannot be
sold because Germany has been com
PEELED to flood the market? We invite
Horne to give the answer to that
riddle. He is engaged in an effort to
open foreign markets to our trade.

Berlin's ability to Pay
Is Problem, Says SforSa
italian Foreign Minister Asserts
the Fixing of indemnity Was
Simply Port Of The Programs
Special cable to The Tribune
Copyright, 1921. New York Tribune Inc.

MILAN, Feb. 9.-The purely relative
value of the decision of the Paris Con-
ference in determining the German in
demnity was emphasized by Foreign
Minister Sforza in a recent sitting of
the Senate. Although Count Sforza
attended the conference and was sup
posed to have agreed in everything
done there he said the fixing Of the
indemnity was simply part of pro-
gram and that ascertaining the possi-
bility that Germany was able TO pay
presented greater difficulty.
Count Sforza also explained the op-
Grafton of the II per cent clause, FRO
posed by Italian experts, to mean that
this percentage of foreign currency
cashed by German exporters should be
handed to their government, which
would in turn refund paper marks to
the merchants and pay the Allies in
foreign exchange. He admitted that
this might lead TO- serious criticism,
but pronounced it better than the sim
pie imposition of an export tax.
He also objected to the charges
made against Germany for the ex-
penses of numerous inter-Allied COM
missions, saying he believed the money
might better be reserved for recon
structioh than lost in unproductive and
unnecessary expenses. He said this
was especially SO, as Germany had, he
believed, complied with the disarma-
ment clauses in all exceR1 minor de-
tails.
Count Sforzi expressed the hope
that the conference to be held in Lon
don with German delegates might
strive to create more tolerant Euro
pean atmosphere rather than devote
itself solely to the working out of one
sided formula.
Senator Schanzer, former Minister
of the Treasury, in replying to the
Foreign Minister said he considered
the terms of the indemnity proposals
not only one-sided but doubtful.
Should Italy receive all her assigned
share of indemnity, he declared. it
would only amount to one-haf its
twenty-one milliards Of foreign debt,
the country thus remaining victim
after England and France had divided
the spoilsi of war Loud cheers OF ap
proval greeted this assertion.
Senator Einaudi, prominent econo-
mist, continues to argue through the
press that the indemnity proposals are
absurd. Former Premier Nitti, writing
on the subject of American coopera-
ton, admits that the United States can
not extend further credit to Italy until
the indemnity questions are settled. He
holds, however, that this should not
prevent American exporters from es-
tablishing better relations, remember
ing that if unreasonable terms are ar
ranged with Germany victors and van
quished will fall together.

Tokio's Nationalist Party
AskS Military Bill Guk

TOXIC, Feb. (By The Associated
Press) An echo of the reduced
armament campaign which is being
carried on by Yukio Ozaki, former
leader of the Kensei-Kai, or Opposition
party, is found in the decision of the
Kokumin-To, or Nationalist party, to
return the budget Of the government
with the request that it reconsider and
curtail appropriations for military rur-
poses.
The Kokumin-To party declares that
approval of the budget would mean an
increase of taxation in coming years,
and charges that the inclusion of an
additional 150000,0o0 yen. for national
defense would be in violation of the
pledge given, the previous Diet and also
be tantamount to deceiving the nation.
1t is urged that the budget be reframed
on the basis of shorter army service
and for improvement in education.
The Kensef.Kai party also has de-
clared itself in favor of reframing the
budget, claiming that its adoption in
its present form would mean an addi-
tional overwhelming burden on the
pe@cie through increased taxation.

BERLIN, Feb. 9.--The Hansa League,
which yesterday announced that it was
considering the boycott Of Allied goods
in favor Of goods from America and
reutral countries, amplified its state
ments to-day. 1t was declared that
members of tho league, which is com,
posed of the majority Of German com
mercial and manufacturing interests,
were sending numerous letters to the
league urging an extensive propaganda
against buying French wares as an
answer to the Paris reparations decis-
ions. This would be followed by boy
colt of English goods IL England con
tinued to support the French demands.
In reply to objections that certain
goods which are needed in Germany
might become scarce if such a coarse
were followed, members Of the league
contend that these goods could be had
from neutrals. They also stress the
point that there could be diversions of
such trade to America, which is repre-
sented as making the greatest exertion
to obtain German business. It is also
said that America has made great
progress in recent weeks toward the
reopening of trade with Germany.
The league is taking the boycott pro-
posals under consideration, but prob
ably will make no decision until after

Special Cable to Tho Tribune


PARIS, Feb. s.-Raymond Poincare
formerly President of France, made
the remarkable statement to-day in a
public address that for fortv-three
years, the time between the close Of
the Franco-P -Prussian war and the break
ing out of the World War, Germany
had worked by means of threats and
promises to get France to support her
He told this in the first of series of
discussions on the causes Of the World
War. which are expected to reveal
many facts in his possession which
hitherto have not been made public
Psoincare holds many secrets connect
ed with the international situation at
the time the World War began, and he
mas been accused of working t. bring
about the conflict. Only recently. in a
book issued under the title of France,
ne ne Is charged with wanting war at the
time. His forthcoming addresses have
been awaited with much interest. and
the rooms of the Geographical Society
were filled to overfowing to-day to
hear him.
In discussing Germany's efforts to
gain Frances support after the War of
lSl, Poincare said that, failing to OBJ
tain this by peaceful means, Germany
decided to compel Frances subjection
through war.
IF Germany declared war it was be-
cause she could not make France for
get the past, as Austria had done, and
become, like Austria, another brilliant
second to Germany" he said. Ger
many wanted France also to accept
German hegemony and allow herself to
be drawn into Germany's future. In
order to arrive at this result, which she
so ardently desired, Germany, between
1871 and 1914, alternately used gentle
ness and threats, now multiplying
provocations. against France, now over
whelming her with advances, declaring
her admiration. sympathy and friend
ship for France and stating her readi-
ness to uphold France in her foreign
policy"
Poincare cited many proofs of this
attitude. He quoted Bismarck's words
to DeCourcel the French Ambassador
to Berlin, abandon the Rhine and l
will help you in all other matters to con-
quer what you may desire" He pointed
out that Kaiser William II followed
Bismarck's policy toward France with
no better success. Poincare believed
Germany desired to win France and
Russia to help her against England,
for which the German hatred reached
the stage of a mania, and afterward
against America.
Poincare asserted that he knew of

hostile opinions about Germany. He
said he considered that Bolshevism in

Won Hindenburg came here for the
purpose of delivering speech at the
naming Of the cargo steamer linden
burg yesterday.
In the speech Field, Marshal Won Hin
denburg said:
MAY this vessel prove to the world
Germany's honest desire to live at
peace with all nations as long as she
honorably can, and may it establish a
link between them 'and us which will
bring humanity closer together. That
is the sincere wish of an old soldier
who knows the horrors of war and
therefore appreciates the advantages
of III honest peace"

an immense advantage to such other

that the United States should have

mo single French Minister or. President
who pronounced the word revenge, or
publicly or secretly nursed tho idea Of

which all French statesmen success
slveiy refused to admit to- them selyea
was the reputation of their intimate
sentiments and renunciation Of the two

Things might have been different,
Poincar& remarked, IL Germany had
known how. to understand and allow
for France'stleHit timats susceptibilities,
but Germany was pushed forward by
the destiny which presided at the birth
of the German nation,
Aluding to the Ems dispatch and
the annexation of Alsace- Lorraine,
Poincare said: "When tho birth of the
empire 30 strangely bears the mark
of two common law crimes--forgery
and burglary-the authority Of that
state remains the prisoner of the vio-
lence that created it and can only
maintain itself by continuing faithful
to the shame Of its origin"

cruisers-and an enemy power equipped
with all these and with battieships and
battle-cruisers in addition-there can
be no doubt that in any conflict the
power equipped with capital ships
would be victorious over its enemy not
so equipped. The rival forces of light
craft, whether on or below the sur
face, or in the air, would neutralize
each other. leaving the power which
possessed the heavy ships, armed with
sea.
"This was substantially the situation
at the close Of the late World War,
with the capital ships of the Allies
dominating all the seas OF the world,
controlling communications, isoiating
the enemy, cutting off his supplies and
creating condition which by its
effect upon the armies Of the belliger-
ents wab the predominant influence in
crushing the Central Powers and bring
ing victory to America and the Entente
Allies.
Navy First Line Of Defense
SITUATED as is the United States,
with oceans separating it from other
great powers, its first line of defense
must necessarily be its navy, and so
long as it has battle feet which can
hold the sea against attack both its
continental territory and its island
possessions, as we'll as it's commerce
and the rights and interests of it's
citizens upon the high seas, are secure
regardless of the comparative size of
the armies of the world. On the other
hand, If from lack of heavy ships Of
the line, or other weaknesses, it's navy
cannot hold the sea against attack
.l-4 At,A
greatest army in the world, its island
possessions would fall away from it,
it's commerce would be destroyed, its
coasts blockaded and subjected to con-
stant attack.
AIN view of this importance of sea-
power to the United States, and the
fact that without it we would be at
the mercy of other nations, it is the
opinion of your committee that this
country should maintain a navy at
least equal to that of any other power
The lessons Of history teach us with
indisputab bic truth that we cannot af-
ford to depend for the maintenance of
our rights and the defense of the lives
and commerce Of our citizens upon the
mercy, generosity, or good will of other
powers with rival and conflicting in
'terests or ambitions.
Opposed to Building Layo&f.
"For these reasons we are of the
opinion that there should be no sus-
pension of the present building pro-
gram of the navy, which, as at present
laid out. is, at the most, only designed
to place US upon q footing of equality
with any other power upon the sea.
at is estimated by the technical ex-
perts Of the navy that the actual loss
which would result from a six months
suspension of this work would be be-
tween $15,00O,0O0 and S25,0OO,o0O.
Large numbers of workmen would be
thrown out of employment, with conse-

f LONDON, Feb. 9.-The Foreign Office
sto-day issued statement declaring &c
,he without foundation reports published
IN the United States Tuesday to the eff.
feet that an official Of the Foreign Office
had uttered a warning of the increasing
seriousness of Anglo American rela-
,tions. The statement said:
. THE statement on Anglo-American
relations, quoted in the English press
this morning as having appeared in the
American press, was made without the
authority or knowledge of the Foreign
Office and does not in any way repre-
sent the views of the Foreign Office
upon the present or future state of re-
lations between the two countries.
"On the contrary, the Foreign Office
is confident that any questions arising
between Great Britain and the United
States can and will be settled without
olfhculty, whether with the existing or
succeeding administration"
The reports to which the British
st orelgn ONCE now. gives formal denial
were not carried by The Associated d
EFress. Nor were the reports pub
1ished in The Tribune They were CON
tanned in dispatch circulated by the
United News. The dispatch stated
that the British Foreign Office had
summoned American correspondents to
( Whitehall where, through one having
san important place in Anglo-American
sanalrs. a warning was uttered that I'VE
ARE treading the path leading to war" "
: Correspondents were not summoned,
las stated in the London dispatch
quoted, but were received in response
30 numerous requests from news agen-
teies and American newspapers for s.
statement in connection with the visit
sVhere of Ambassador Geddes.
Since the publication of the report,
y ow denied by the Foreign Office, a

fation and that when they were received
Eit was understood that 40 part of the
