Allies Faced Trade and Political Strife
In Failure to Agree on .Reparation

operation in settlement Of the many
issues confronting Europe.
Delay in Settlement.
II the reparations question had not
been definitely settled before Lloyd
George leaves Paris this time there was
little likelihood Of agreement being eff
fected in the immediate future. The
next scheduled conference of the allies
will be in London the latter part of Feb
ruary, when revision of the Turkish
treaty will be discussed and some
effort made to bring order out Of
chaos in the near east. In the interim
it Is believed BRAND, remaining for
the fullest measure of German repara-
tons. would have been SO reinforced In
his position by popular acclaim that
ne could set in motion steps looking
toward extension Of French influence in
all directions and resist any move to cur
tail French political dominion in the near
eastern regions.
As forecast last Sunday. BRAND and
Lloyd George have been bitterly at odds
during the course Of the conferences the
past week. BRAND stood firm for full
German payment. The British conceded
the French viewpoint that German semi
military organizations should all be dis
armed by June /, three-fourths Of them
to be demobilized not later than March
1. France, therefore. has her demand
that the military menace of Germany be
removed in SO far as the allies have 1t
within their immediate power to effect
rehabilitation. When the French in
sisted that Germany be made to pay
the enormous total Of $4,000, 100000
as was expected, demurred on the ground
that it could not be collected and eff
fort to enforce such stipulation might
hazard the whole German payment. Sup
posedly representing the viewpoint of the
BRAND cabinet. Finance Minister Dou-
mer declared that Germany should be
forced to pay $4,000, 100000 gold marks
annually. instead Of 5000. 100000 pro-
posed by Belgium and tacitly agreed to
by the allies at Boulogne. Lloyd George
believed that 3.000.0O0,000 gold marks
annually for five years, the toth amount
Of indemnities to be fixed before the
end Of that time. with possibility Of re-
vision as the German economic situa-
ton is determined, was just. The Ger
mans, as represented by Hugo SHINES
and. Sigmund Bergman, who went to
Paris hoping to enter the allied delibera-
lions, but who were denied. had instruc-
tions from their government to suggest
Germany's readiness and ability to pay
at least 1000, 100000 gold marks annu-
ally for five years. the total indemnity
to be fixed before the expiration of that
period.
Leans Toward German View.
Immediately are seen the radical diff
I, ferences and how far-reaching was the
French viewpoint. In the figures can

to approach the German viewpoint. he

Party Policies Figure But Lightly
In Lineup on Tariff Legislation

Some democrats will oppose high tariff. be-
cause 1t will bear heavily upon the consumer.
and other democrats will favor it because 1T
helps the producer. The same division will be
found in the republican ranks.
So. the prospect is the new tariff bill will
not be framed scientifically. neither conforming
to party lines which would give semblance
of uniformity of policy but will be the result
of scramble of statesmen to serve their state
and sectional interests: to help one class, such
the farmers: to aid another class, the con-
sumers and to benefit a third class. the manu-
facturers. r.
1t may be considered fortunate that con-
sumers to have look n"-that is. If they
do get it and do not, in fact again find them
selves ground between the millstones of the
other classes and interests.
Which party will make most political capt.
tai out of the emergency tariff bill now up in
the Senate is question interesting the poll
ticians of both parties. 1t is admitted. in con-
versations off-stage and in talks not intended
for the Congressional Record that party poll
tics figure extensively in the proceedings.
Likewise. that the hope Of putting the other
fellow in the hole" animates some breasts that
outwardly to throb only with solicitude
for the dear farmer or the dear consumer. The
farmer has supporters in Congress who con-
scientfously think the emergency tariff bin will
help the agricultural interests There
others who do not think any such thing, but
are willing to back the bill because they FORE
see the opportunity Of placing the democrats
in the position of opposing measure osten-
sibly for the relief of the farmer
And there are others in Congress who do
not conscientiously think the pending bill will
help the farmer, but are content to support it
long the farmer wants it and thinks he
must have it. Then there are statesmen who
insist that the BILL If enacted into law will
hurt trade with foreign countries and bring
disaster to the general business Of the country.
Even men who fnward1y feel this way and
privately so express themselves publicly sus-
tain. the bill for political reasons or for the
farmers sake.
To the average man this might seem like
playing with fire. Such would be the case but
for the fact 1t is not believed the emergency
bill will eventually pass eff there were prob
ability of the bill going through all the stages
and becoming law, a number of men in Con-
gress would about-face in jify and show a
different front.
For the first time in two years Congress is
undergoing period of closed season on the
league of nations. There Is Likelihood Of the
season being prolonged. even after President
Harding is in Office. There is no indication
that his conferences with the best minds have
resulted in the formation pf any deanlt6 poatcyts

sdrop--and besides. they have other troubles.
1t is the judgment of senators who are on
the alert for renewal of league of nations ef-
forts when they may be started. that the Presi-
dent will find so many things demanding his
attention upon taking Office that he will have
to postpone for few weeks the preparation
and submission Of a substitute for the league
of nations plan heretofore presented
President Wilson, according to a report the
source of which is cassed as reliable maintains
attitude of unconcern toward the problem
which the republicans face. He is said to be
in a philosophical mood, which might be ex-
pressed in the sentiment that 'if they can find
anything better than the plan proposed in the
treaty of Versailles, well and god" lie. of
course is skeptical Of their being able to do
SO. and they are quite confident that they can
present a scheme which will beat his all hol-
low. E
Thoughtful men in the Senate admit that
the Closed season on the league of nations is
sue must, of necessity, be limited, however.
They will give due allowance for the absorp-
tion of interest in appointments to Office. the
filling Of many vacancies awaiting good repub-
licans and the replacement by republicans Of
democrats now holding Office, but the issue
will have to be met. they say.
The Senate might be described as being in
state of armistice the league Of nations,
all belligerents resting their arms, having
ceased firing. but keeping pickets posted and
ready to respond tota call to arms whenever
the incoming President presents the issue. So
far the record shows the Senate is through
with the subject. having rejected the treaty
and returned it to the incumbent executive. 1t
is realized that the convention and campaign
pledges of the republicans will 4necessitate con-
sideration of the question some time The IT.
reconcilables desire to postpone the fatal hour
as long possible, attested by the intervening
propositions for disarmament and suspension Of

will not down. and will stalk through the Sen
