Harding ~ iti Cooperate
Times Sees Chance 10 Bring
Tmo Nations Together in
Work OF WorIdscide Scope

lONDON, June a5.~-ln an editorial
bearing the caption America and
Peace" The London Times expresses
great satisfaction at two announce
ments from It's Washington CORE
spondent that the Treaty OF Yer
sailles probably would be ratified by
the United States "at no distant date"
although subject to far-reaching reser-
yations, and that one of the aims Of
American foreign policy promised
worldwide cooperation with Great
Eritain.
After making the announcement re-
:,arding the treaty The Times says:
That in itself is news which will be
widely received with feelings of relief.
But more welcome and more moment
Gus far is the correspondents further
statement on the wider scope of Ameri-
can foreign policy. 'One thing solid,
enc thing certain he discerns as
emerging from this policy. 1t is that
the ultimate desire, even the deliberate
plan, OF the Harding Administration is
10 bring the United States and the
British Empire together in working
agreement which shall be of world
wide scope
Words would be wasted in dwell
ing upon the effects of such a policy,
or in endeavoring to express how glad
~ it would be hailed by the English
speaking nations of the Empire, in
the mother country and throughout
the world. All that is best on both
sides of the ocean looked forward to
it for long years as great and saw
ing ideal"
The Times utters caution, however,
that "any mistake as to the extent or
limitation of this policy must be
studiousiy avoided. Mistakes of hat
Kind might kill it in the CRADLE"
The editorial. urging close relations
with France, and decrying any British
tendency toward isolation, continues
relative to the Washington policy:
"The better our relations with France
the easier it will be for the authors of
that policy to commend it TO the people
of the United States, while anything
approaching a quarrel with France, or
even marked GOODNESS between her
and England. almost certainly would
result in the return by America to the
policy OF 'aloofness.' Only our own
folly or the folly of France could lead
to such misfortune" a

Aggreement L.
Believed Near
Meeting Between Loucheur
and Rathenau Said to
Have Reached Basis for
Complete Understanding
Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright, 1921. New York Tribune Inc
PARIS, June 14.-France and Ger
many took another long step toward
common understanding at the two
day conference just closed at Wies-
baden between Louis Loucheur, French
Minister of Liberated Regions, and DR.
Walter Rathenau, German Minister of
Reconstruction. NJ Loucheur, who re-
turned to Paris tonight to work out
further plans for submission to DR..
Rethcnau in Paris, June "a, expressed
belief that the end of squabbles with
in sight, if the present attitude Of the
German government continues.
The conference, which took up the
details of the execution of the terms
agreed to by Germany in London in
May, greatly strengthened the belief
in government circules that Chancellor
Wirth is sincere in his declaration
that Germany intends to meet her
obligations. Berlin is more and more
disposed to settle down and observe
the terms of the Treaty of Versailles,
it is said, and to plecge Fer aid IN re-
establishing good will ane. normal con-
ditions on the settlement.
M. Loucheur said tonight that the
preliminary conferences had been de-
voted to sounding out Germany's re-
sources and comparing these with
Frances needs. He said that he found
Dr.. Rathenau extremely we'll informed
regarding Germany's present financial
and economic condition and entirely
frank and most sincere in his desire to
come to understandings that would be
agreeable to both countries.
Final decision of number of ques-
tions that were left open are expected
when DR.. Rathenau comes to Paris late
this month. Among the most trouble
some of these problems is the substitu-
tion of some other scheme for paym en- t
in place of the 26 per cent tax on
German exports. Another is how more
raw materials can be supplied to Ger
man industries in order that more en-
pleyment can be provided for workmen
who in turn can produce more wooden
houses for the restitution of devastat-
ed France.
A common basis of agreement seems
to be in sight and the belief prevails
here that speedy recovery will follow
these adjustments. Premier BRAND s
policy of force when necessary, but in
the mean time moderation and justice,
together with Germany's evident in
tention to pay her obligations, is ex-
pected to mark the beginning Of the
enc Of evasive conferences Most of
the difficulties, it is believed, can now
be disposed of, at least if the Wirth
government stays in power.

Mr.. Jones refusing to withdraw his

refused and, the uproar continuing, the
Speaker formally ordered him to with

shouting as he went: Good night, all

with the Coalition members.

By wireless to Ths Tribune

Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, June 14.-Information was
obtained here to-day that General
Lerond, the French head of the Inter
Allied Commission, is making every
effort to obtain from the leader of the
Polish insurgents, Adelbert Korfanty,
signed promise to cooperate in the
restoration of order in Silesia. Lcrond
also is trying to get Korfanty to agree
to the establishment of an admins
tration for Silesia, consisting of rep
resentatives of the Inter-Allied Com
mission and Polish and German gov
ernments.
The proposal has aroused strong
opposition on the part of the Ger
mans, who charge that Lerond is spon-
soring this plan in order to save the
Poles from the energetic action taken
by the British to clear out the Poles
at any cost. The Germans also charge
that the InterAllied Commission
failed to keep its promise to General
Hoefor, the German commander, to
halt all Polish activities, and cite as
instances OF this failure a new artil-
lery attack on Ratibor and the oc-
cupation by the Poles OF several other
localities cleared by the Germans a.
the request Of the commission.
Germans Refuse to Disarm
According to German reports the
commission proposed that the Ger
mans evacuate the territory they had
occupied. The Germans in Sllesia
positively refuse to disarm until ccm-
plete order is restored. General
Hoefer has again emphasized this
point, saying he refused to assume
sole responsibility for adjustment of
the matter, and referring it to the
German committee of twelve at Oberg-
logau.
This committee is expected to de-
mand certain guarantees from the AL
lies before accepting any proposal
bearing on disarmament of the Ger
mans incident to a further evacuation
of territory.
The Germans say they will dsarm
only when the insurgents do likewise
and when all non-Silesian armed Poles
are expelled. After this shall have
been accomplished it is suggested
that special kind of police,s of pure
ly non-political nature, be provided
The Germans also insist upon punish
ment Of all those guilty of infractions.

control over the economic and ad-
ministratve activities in the regions
