WASHINGTON. Feb. 24-Congress
will not act at this time on President
! Wilson'S message submitting the pro
( posal that the United States consider the
acceptance of German reparation bonds
/ in exchange for Belgium's debt to Amer
/ lea of S1T1, $50. 600. Nor does the exec
utive expect any action until America is
( convinced that the German PREPARATION
4 bonds are worth something.
/ This brings up the entire question of
whether the recent decision of the al
lied premiers to saddle Germany with
! an enormous debt is wise and whether
4 America will accept German reparation
bonds as payment for anything in the
future, The United States discreetly re-
Trained from participating in the allied
council. at which the reparation scheme
was agreed upon and has even heSitated
to express approval or disapproyal aft
erwards lest the present administration
be drawn into a discussion of PREPARATION
questions which might be embarrassing
to the Harding administration. On the
other hand, the presentation to congress
of the proposal that German reparatiOn
bonds be used in exchange for Belgium's
war indebtedness to the United States
involves a precedent of considerable i'm
portance.
IF America accepts German bonds as
a payment for even SO small n debt. rcla-
lively speaking. as S1T1, 100000. would
1t be consistent for the United States
to refuse to accept German reparation
bonds as payment for the entire allied
war debt? That is the question which
members of congress are asking. The
British and French point out that they
would be even more generous than the
United States for England and France
stand ready to accept German reparation
bonds amounting To 1T4,000,000 pounds
or about 100000. 900 which is the COM
bined debt of Belgium to Franco and
Britain. If the British and French think
tho German reparation bonds would be
worth 100000, 900 why can't the United
States, it is argued, accept their judg
ment?
But the answer given here is that Eng
land and France would fare much bet
ter III the end and even if German repair
alton bonds We're accepted to the amount
of SSDG.O0O,000 because the transfer from
the allies of the entire Indebtedness to
the United States to the backs of the
Germans would relieve Great Britain and
France of the greater part of their fiuan-
clal burdens. Even such course is not
considered outside the range of possibil-
ity. if the German PREPARATION bonds can
DO Hlade to pay. But America has stayed
out of the league of nations and has
thus far given no Indication that she
wants to participate in the enforcement
of the terms of the peace treaty of Yer
sailles, or in the collection of the war in
demnity from Germany. Europe, of

course, would like America to accept
German PREPARATION bonds because 1t
would make the United States see more
clearly the necessity of making Germany
nay and would bring America closer to
European political affairs.
On the other hand, American financiers
and the men who have been advising the
United States government ever since the
Paris conference, insist that it is the
allies and not Germany who must be
regulated for in the mad scramble to get
money ont of Germany, the allies thus
far have adopted policy of strangula-
ton which. from the American viewpoint,
is bad business for the world irrespective
, of whether it affects the value of Ger
man reparation bonds.
Americas position as expressed here Is
that Germany must be given a chance TO
get back on her feet and that If the al
lies persist in the policy of draining
Germany of her capital and levying an
export tax for instance, that will inter
| fere seriously with Germany's trade OPP
portunities. the allies may as well aban-
don any hope that America viii believe
the German PREPARATION bonds are worth
the paper on which they are written
There is substantially no difference OF
opinion on this question between Repub-
| licans and Democrats here. 1t Is an eco
monte and not a partisan question. Pres
ident Wilson promised to submit the mat
! ter to congress when he was in Paris.
! He could not refuse TO do 50, without be-
, ing discourteouS to Belgium. But Mr..
Wilson's own message to congress con-
tains significant phrases. which indicate
( that he does not believe the present at
/ any rate. a favorable moment for the ac-
/ ceptance by congress of the proposition
! he is submitting. Mr.. Wilson's message
! saws in part ~ recommendation at
/ this time that suitable Legislative action
! should be taken is somewhat premature
/ but in view of the approaching ternina-
ticn of my administration. | have
brought the matter TO your attention.
hoping that suitable action may be taken
at the appropriate time" The last
( phrase. at the appropriate time" means
when Germany and the allies reach some
g agreement as 10 the issuance of repara-
tion bonds that will satisfy the public
opinion of the United States. Mr. VII
sons message to congress is a hint To the
allies that even though the United States
may never enter the league of nations.
the reparatiOn scheme must be along
economic lines that inspire confidence in
the ultimate ability Of Germany TO paw
those bonds. Otherwise, the United
States will continue to look to the allies
for payment

CHICAGO TO HAVE
REAL BEAUTY SHOW
Ore of It's Purposes Win Re to Asitate
Against Excessive Use of
Cosmetics

CHICAGO, Feb. 2i-An educational
beauty show. said to be the first Of it's kind
and size 70 be held outside of Paris. will
be staged here the weel, beginning Feb. 2S.
The exposition will be largely for the
purpose Of proving to milady of 1921
the truth of the statement that beauty
is only skin deep and that all women
NAV he beautiful.
The show is being sponsored by nearly
800 manufacturers Of practical aids TO
beauty but one of its announced pur-
poses will be to agitatc against the Excess
sive use of cosmetics and to demonstrate
benefits which may be obtained from the
proper use Of the proper kinds Of beauty
aids
There will be dozens of experts to in
struct the women. Women artists. psy-
biologists. health and dietctic specialists
and beauty experts viii assist at the ex-
pasition-all with the same object in
view. that of helping American women de-
velop the beauty they have and to become
more beautiful.
According to the promoters OF the
show, there is a perfume Of certain scent
which blends with a certain personality,
and one of the objects of the show will be
to have the experts aid each woman in
deciding what particular perfume or pow
der is best suited to her individuality. An
other expert viii demonstrate the proper
manner in which to apply the different
articles of the toilette.
In explaining the purpose of educating
American women in the development Of
beauty at the show, w. G. Hamilton, di-
rector, said:
american women are the most nat
urally beautiful in the world There is
only one thing they may be said to lack in
comparison with the women of other coun-
tries and that is the art Of accentuating
and refining their loveiiness. There is at
present a tendency on the part Of women
toward overdressing, overrouging and too
startling adornment Such a tendency,
as well as the tendency toward dowdiness.
can be corrected through widespread edu-
cational propaganda among our women.
Invitations have been issued to cities
Throughout the country to send their most
beautiful women and girls.
There viii be beauty contest for high
school girls and other contests to deter
mine the possessor of the most beautiful
hair. eyes. complexion, perfect figure. the
best kept hands, and the prettiest foot and
ankle
Clothes will not play an important part
in the show except insofar as the experts
will contrast the proper and improper
manner of dressing and the relation of
bodily health and beauty.
