Extensive information has already
been sent IN to the League relative to
the situation Of the Russian refugees
In different countries by South Africa,
Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain,
{ France, Great Britain, Poland. czecho-
I Slovakla and Swhzef1and. 1nis will
serve as a basis for the international
action to be formulated.
The problem is complicated, involv-
ing not only the legal status OF these
people in the different countries, but
political, financial and economic as
poets as well.
Based upon Che Information end the
various suggested solutions which
nave been offered by the various
! European governments to date, the
council has decided that the first step
TO be taken is that of the appointment
OF high commissioner whose task II
will be to coordinate the work being
Gone not only by all European govern
ment but by all private associations
on behalf Of the Russian refugees.
High Russian representatives have
asked the League to appoint II pos
sible, TO this position Serbian who,
because OF the analogy of race and
language, will probably be better
adapted for inspiring confidence
among Russian refugees.
Whilst awaiting the appointment OF
this commissioner, the council has or
dered the Leagues secretariat TO con-
vene the officials responsible in each
country for the welfare Of the Rus
sian refugees TO discuss the problem.
one OF the problems to be looked
into is the possibility that sums Of
money and property belonging to the
various Russian governments that
have been sequestered IN different
countries be constituted into relief
fund for the Russian refugees
Another task will be that Of direct
ing these refugees into various conn-
tries where work can be secured for
them
In the meantime each government
will be asked what amount Of money
II Is now spending on behalf Of Rus
sian refugees and how much 1t may be
able to contribute towards the general
funds necessary for handling the prob
lem on an international basis and for

complicated problems to be solved by
the second general assembly cf the
League OF Nations which convenes
here on September 8.
The question OF these Russian refu-
gees hasnow reached such proportions
an an international problem that II has
been definitely decided by the Euro
pean states belonging to the League
that II can no longer be handled by
individual governments. As conse-
quence, the problem will be taken up
by the League OF Nations with the co.
operation Of the international League
OF Red Cross Societies and the Inter-
national Red Cross committee.

with the assistance of experts, as to the way in which German deliveries for reparations would be reckoned as against the total of Germany's debt particularly respecting the way in which the price value will be fixed.
 10. As security for the credits ac- corded her. Germany is willing to pledge public revenues and properties in manner to be determined between the contracting parties.
 II. With the. acceptance of these proposals, Gerrnany,s other repara- tions and obligations will be annulled and all German private property in foreign countries will be released.
 Discontinue Penalties
 12. Germany declares the present proposals only capable of being car ried out if the system of penalties is discontinued forthwith. and she is freed from all unproductive outlays now imposed on her and that she be given freedom of trade
 In the event of differences of opin- ion arising from an examination of the proposals, the German govern ment recommends that they be sub mitted for examination to a commits sion of recognized experts acceptable to all the interested governments. She declares herself ready in advance to accept as binding any decision reached by this commission.
 Should any other form of proposals in the view of the American govern ment facilitate further negotiation CT the question. the German government would ask to have its attention drawn to any points in which alteration is. in the opinion of the American govern ment, desirable. he German govern ment would welcome also other pro- posals from the American govern ment.
 Concerned in World Peace
 Finally, the note saysa
 The German government is too deeply convinced of the fact that the peace and welfare of the world are dependent upon a speedy. just and fair solution of the reparations ques- tions not to do everything within its power in order to enable the Ameri- can government to direct the atteu- tion of the allied governments to the matter"

GERMANY WILLING ID ASSUME ALLIED DEBTS TO U.
Budget Bill With Bureau Provision
 Passed by Senate
Measure Passed at Last Session Was Vetoed
 By Wilson

WASHINGTON, April 26-Brief debate preceded the final vote on the budget bill, which was passed today by the senate without a roll call. It was introduced originally by Senator Mccormack, Republican of Illinois, passed by both the senate and house during the Sixty sixth congress, vetoed by President Wilson and then repassed by the house with the sections found objectionable by the executive stricken out. The sen ate, however, failed to act on the measure after the presidents veto. The measure as passed today now goes to the house where prompt ac- ton has been promised.
 The bill provides for a bureau of the budget in the treasury depart ment to prepare the estimates of ap- propriations needed by the various departments. The bureau would have as its head director of the budget, appointed by the president with the consent of the senate for a term of seven years with an annual salary fS10,000.
 The offices of comptroller and as- sistant comptroller of the treasury would be abolished under the revised bill, and in their stead offices of the comptroller general and assistant comptroller general would be created. The measure approved today by the senate would permit their removal by joint congressional resolution which requires the presidents sigma ture.
 Efforts of Democrats were direct ed toward scaling down the salaries of offices provided for in the bill. Senator Harrison, Democrat of Mis- sissippi, called attention to the adop- tion of an additional office in the budget bureau and said it was a "cQrious why, at this time, when we are trying to practice economy there should be an effort by the Re publicans to increase the number of offices
 Objecting to 5000, the salary of the assistant director of the budget Senator Harrison offered an amend ment to reduce it to $7.000, saying he was sure some long. lean, lanl1y hungry Republican would accept the office at that salary"
 Senator Mccormick accepted the amendment and it was agreed to.

M. Briand said he had full confi- dence that if the Washington gov ernment decided to transmit the Ger man counter proposals they would be such as to safeguard the interets of the allies on reparations But he added, there Is another violation of the treaty of Versailles which Germany cannot invoke the impossibility of fulfilling. namely. disarmament. which she has failed to carry out"
 Andre Tardieu and NJ. Mandel. for merly Clemenceau's chief of cabinet, led the attack against NJ. Briand after the premier had concluded his decla- ration.
 M. Tardieu asked for the imme- diate discussion of his interpretations 1 whether the occupation of the Ruhr was for the enforcement of the treaty | of Versailles or the Paris January | agreement
 The premier refused to discuss the | matter before May 1, and made it a | question of confidence. | Tn his statement M.

 The premier declared that the Ger
 man proposal that Washington me diate was another dodge to gair
 time" and continued:

 of the United States to take only
 such initiatives as 1t Is certain are
 In conformity with the interests oi the allies. But So far as France 1:
 concerned, our dispositions are taker
 for the day when the debt comes
 due"
 This was greeted with cheers from the chamber
 But we wish to do nothing with out first consulting our allies" the premier went on, "and on April 30
 when the conference meets in Lon don, if Germany has not made ac.
 ceptable propositions and guarantee: we shall submit to our allies tn,
 practical means we have decided upon in order to obtain payment O.

America, could scarcely be brought about in Japan.
 "Of the 35.O00 members belonging to the Yuaikai," President Suzuki ex- plained, about 12,000 are iron work CTS; 10000, seamen; 4000, miners, and so forth Then there are-not affiliated with us however-the Miners Federated Union of Japan. numbering about 2000 members; the printers and pressmen of Tokyo num- bering some 1900: the Osaka Iron Workers union, whose membership would reach about 1000, and other such organizations which work in harmony with us. To appreciate the true strength of Japanese labor all these must be taken into considera tion.''
 Yuaikai Nine Years Old
 This may not appear very formid able as the result of nine years of painstaking work, but considering the handicap it doesn't look so bad
 There is no labor minister in the Japanese cabinet. Labor is look ed after by the home department-cor- responding to the American depart ment of the interior-but it seems that there is no separate labor "bu- reau," the head of the police bureau of the home department also attend ing to labor.
 Which fact might afford an ides of the official attitude towards labor and explain the slowness of the growth of the movement at the same time.

IlGHT ON NAVY APPROPRIATED
 BILL IN HOUSE PREVENTS VOTE UNTIL THURSDAY
Limitation of Armament Discussion Keeps House Occupied to End of Day Amendment Offered
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. April 26.-After an an-day fight over disarmament, the house was forced to quit work to- night without reaching vote on the naval appropriation bill because of the demand of members for time in which to exercise their views.
 At the end of the long debate there was pending an amendment providing that no part of the appropriation should go into new construction until rhe President had called an 1nterna- tional conference to consider llmita- ton of armament. The amendment, proposed by Representative Connolly. democrat, Texas, was precisely like one offered when the bill was before the house in the closing days of the last session by Representative Brooks, republican, of Illinois, and rejected by a vote of about five to one. Lead CTS said il would be thrown out by a similar vote when the bill is taken up again Thursday
 carly in the session after Representa- tive Knight. republican, of Ohio. had attacked the bill The Ohio member announced he voted against the bill because of the contemplated expen- dirure of $90, 100000 for new battle ships. the general need of economy, and the alleged questionable demands
 
 The speech started a veritable whirlwind of talk.
 Seeing where the house was head ing. Chairman Kelly of the subcom mitfee on appropriations, in charge of the measure, tried to stop it with a plea that the real disarmament de- bate be held back until the section relating to new construction had been reached The chairmans plea pre- vailed after sharp verbal clash, in which Representative Huddleston, democrat, of Alabama, supported MT. Knight and declared general opposil ton to big army. coast defense and navy appropriations.
 Two amendments, calculated to .,bring the disarmament question squarely before the house, were ruled out on points of order, and then Mir. Connolly again stepped to the front with a revival of the Brooks proposal It stood up and held it's own against point of order. as happened last ses- sion. and. Mir. Kelly was pressing for a vote and final passage of the bill when he was persuaded to permit the debate to continue without drastic restriction as to limiting time, along with arguments.
 NIT. Knight. a new member, ex- riained that he had introduced today a resolution for appointment of 8 commission to investigate and to re- k,orf on the value of battleships and @-Iisers before proceeding with the ~haval expansion program
 In the general disarmament discus sion and in the amendments ruled out the question of limitations specifically involved the United States, Grea1 Britain and Japan.
