French Wonder

Paris Also Amazed at the
Story of Mr.. Hughes
Refusing Wine.

PARIS. Dec. 2T.-The rush of
French journalists to the Washing
ton conference has given rise to
some amusing misinformat on in the
Paris press. Also 1t has opened the
eyes of the Partisan public to some
of the things that Americans ac-
tually think they do better than
any other people.
Articles on the. way American

local folIies of the day
NJ De Colbert, for example. Of
LIntransigeant, is smuch surprised
to relate that automobiles pass
along the streets OF the capital
city at the rate of sixty TO the
minute. And he fairly shattered
the Imagination of h s readers in
this city OF old world alleys and
narrow passages by affirming that
"in Washington there is no street
smaller than the Rue Royale"-
which is quite large and wide.
NJ Marcel Ray, Of lie Petit Jour
nal. made Pars rock with glee al
his description of how prohibition
worked out. He painted A glowing
word picture of Secretary Hughes
and Vice President Coolidge coolly
turning down the old Haut-3rion
and Pommery Sec at plomatic
banquets. Only his point about

rather failed to get over. for Paris
apartments are not as literally
supplied with those necessities as
might be.
But NJ De Colbert pulled the
prize one in locating the Hudson

House gardens! That most equals
the exploit OF another French news.

REFUSES TO CURB
CHURCH DIRECTORS

= BOSTON. Dec. 27.-The motion OF
the trustees of the Christian Science
Publishing Company, seeking to
have the directors OF the Christian
Science Church restrained from
meeting to take action on their re-
moval, was denied today by supreme
Court Justice Crosby.
The motion was brought on the
grounds that the trustees had al
ready offered their designations TO
the court and that therefore the d.
rectors had no Jurisdiction.
The directors. previous to the eu-
tering of this motion by counsel
for the trustees. had announced
that hearing" on the question o.
removing the two remaining
trustees, Paul Harvey. Of New
York, and Herbert w. Eustan. OF
Boston. would be held. but The
trustees refused to attend.
The next move is up to the di-
rectors. but il is believed matters
will be still further complicated be-
cause of the provisions Of Mary
Baker Eddy's trust, that give the
trustees sole power to elect their
successors and there ~ some ques-
ton as how new trustees could be
elected in case there was no one
to elect them legally.

LONDON FORESEES

Rumors Say Premiers

With Bolshevists.

LONDON Dec. 27.-Rumors that
Premiers Briahd and Lloyd George

lister Tchitcherin, to London early
in February for an Informal discus
sion on European economic prob

dence IN London.
Oficially, nothing is known" OF
such a decision. but members of
the foreign office admit that such
an event is possible.
No invitation, at any rate. has
vet been sent. But this statement
was accompanied by an indication
that in the event of A general eco
noric conference representatives
of the Moscow government will be
asked in advance to furnish what
ever financial or economic informa-
ton they have at their disposal
Follows Stinnes' visit.
II is considered somewhat signi-
hcant that talk OF such an invita- :
ton follows closely on the heels OF
the visits of Hugo SHINES, leading
HerIin financier. and DR.. waiter
Rathenau, to London where theH
discussed Germany's chaotic fnan-
ciar situation as ii reflects gener-
ally upon conditions throughout
Europe And there is increasing
nublic mention of England's "de-
yastated regions" as they are be-
ginning to cal, her workless indus
trial centers, with a growing de-
mand for Encouragement OF the
reparations system which. il is ar
Cued, would helm to restore Great
Britain's sluggish industry.
In addition to an easier system
of payments for Germany, many
economists want to see Frances
debts to England cancelled. in or
der that Europc's purchasing power
may be increased.
May BE Trial Rumors.
1t is possible that the rumors
now heard everywhere may be trial
balloons to test the currents OF
public thought. II that is so, the
proposal - invite the Russians to
London will receive a vast amount
of public support, there being a
wholly favorable reaction to the

Frances chief objection to re

II such a meeting is called, un-
doubtcdly the question of Russia's

POLITICAL PACT
SOUGHT BY FRANCE,
SIMONDS' OPINION
Submarine Dispute Only
Incidental to Euro
pean Policy.
By FRANK H. SIMONDS.

The good ship Conference is hard
aground on the bar of European
politics. 1t can be released only by
assistance coming from the other
side OF the Atlantic. To put the
tn ng very simply. the single chance
of France yielding. which would
make a compromise over the sub
marine question possible, lies in the
possibility OF speedy agreement
between Lloyd George and BRAND
over European questions.
The French pos tion here has at
last been outlined with crystal
clearness. The French desire a Eu-
ropean agreement. a political agree
ment corresponding in character to
the four-power agreement covering
the Pacific situation They do moi
necessarily ask that the United
States be party to IL. although
obv ously America would be well
come, but what they do ask is that
a general Anglo-British agreement
precede any specific agreement over
the question of naval armament,
For britain TO settle.
All Of which is another way of
saying that if the British really
desire to settle the quest on of sub
marines actually want TO eliminate
any real or imaginary menace to
themselves discoverable in retention
by the French of freedom of action
In the field Of naval armament out
side of battleships. then the way 20
obtain [ is to meet French condi-
tions
The argument Of the French is
simple. They say: In the case Of
the United States the field of in
terest as far as naval strength
went. was in the Pacific. Thus,
before the United States undertook
TO deal with the naval question,
before Japan or Great Britain
would deal with {. all three negO-
tiated a treaty of political settle
ment. tb which France was made a
| party in the final moment. This,
| say the French. was logical and
| natural. One must always deal
with political conditions first.
Involves Various Problems.
Now n the same order Of ideas
| there are political questions in Eu-
rope, most intimately concerning G
France and Britain. but not without
| interest to other countries. There
| is the question Of the German repa-
rat ons, in fact, the whole German
| question. There is the question OF
the Near East. with one phase al
Constantinople and another at An
CORA. There is the question of a
guarantee for Frapce against Ger
man attack in the future.
All of these questions. insist the
French. are as pressing and vital
as the pol tical questions Of the
Pacific What more natural then
than, following the Pacific rrece'
dent. there should be a political
agreement in advance of any agree
ment covering actual strength real
| or theoretical either on land or on
sea?
If BRAND and Lloyd George
meeting at Cannes, are able e
thresh out the political questions
which is polite for saying IL they
can reach a bargain which satisfies
French conditions, then nothing

ACCEPTS INVITATION
OF WOMAN'S PARTY

President Harding has accepted the
invitation Of the National Woman's
party to be present at the formal
opening of its new national head
quarters here.
The dedication of the new build

woman's party, will be an event of
national Importance. The ceremonies.
scheduled for May 81, 1922, will take
place on the very spot used for the
Inauguration of President Monroe, at

FARM BLOCCAUSES
COP MOST WORRY,
ASSERTS SULLIVAN
Holds Whip Hand in the
Present Congress, He
Declares.
By MARK SULLIVAN.

What to do about the farm bloc
Is engaging even more attention
from the Republican leaders than
even the low state in VIII ch the
four-power treaty and the confer
ence generally is admitted. at this
moment. to be. The Republicans
are concerned about the treaty, but
by no means in despair about it.
They fully expect that the strong
non-part san feeling in favor of
what Harding and Hughes are at
tempting will come to their rescue.
Moreover, those who have had long
experience in following the barom-
eter of public sentiment about such
events as this conference know that
they always have their ups and
dowEs Sooner or later the great
favorable aspects of the conference
will engage public attention to the
exclusion of the immediate dificul-
ties.
But from a purely political point
of view the farm bloc is more
menacing thing. The Republicans
have party program to put
through Congress. and the farm
bloc jeers at any suggestion of
party act ton for party's sake. Fur
ther than that. the Republicans hav,'
a whole Lower House and a third
of the Senate coming up in the
primaries and elections just ahead:
and the time Is at hand when they
must achieve party solidarity OF
formally acknowledge lack of il,
and adjust themselves accordingly.
Even Cabinet Divided.
The schism goes to the heart of
the part.r. During the same month
in which President Harding gave a
mild scolding to the farm bloc, an6
in which Secretary Weeks talked
more severely about group action,
another member of the Cabinet, Mr..
Wal ACE. came out with a statement
that can only be interpreted as
sympathet to what the farm bloc
has done and is going to try to do.
Mr.. Wallace is, of course> the he ead
of the Agriculture Department.
Also, his State is Iowa, which hap
pens to be the native place and
chief seat of power of the farm
bloc. Both the Senate leader OF the
blu- Mr.. Kenyon, and at least one
of~khe two or three House leaders
of it are from Iowa. 1t is not sur
prising. therefore. that Secretary
Wallace should say:
That anyone should be disposed
to regard such legislation as of the
nature of class legislation. intended
to or having the effect of benefit
ing one group at the expense of
other groups, is surprising. 1t is
not in any sense class legislation.
Our first task is to bring agricul-
ture through this. critical period
with the least possible damage.
Senators and Representatives from
the surplus-producing States appre-
ciate the gravity of the situation,
as, indeed. do hundreds of thou
sands of business men who have
dealings with the farmer directly
or indirectly. 1t is quite naturai.
therefore, that there should be con-
sideration Of legislative matters
which might afford relief.
Retorts .fn Kind,
1T those who have been charged
with promoting unwise class or
group legislation for the beneft of
agriculture should desire to retort
in kind, they could find ready at

1T is an indisputable fact that

ulterior political motives against

while other powers had es-
tablished spheres of influence in
Russia similar to those set up in
China; while our papers were copy

Il have said that we might ex-
pect to hear that Great Britain had
recognized the Soviet Republic after
reading the reports that Lloyd
George wasf already discussing
closer relationships and political
recognition of Russia.
Tt is manifest that the country
first recognizing Russia will have
great advantage over other coun
tries.
Il do not criticize the statesmen
of Great Britain, France or Japan
for playing the imperialistic game
as it should be played-a game
which looks 90 the keeping apart
