IRISH CONSTABULARY
WILL Be QUADRUPLED,
SAYS LONDON PAPER
(By Associated Prcss)

LONDON, June 30.-Forces of the
Royal Irish constabulary are immedi-
ately to be quadrupled, says the Daily
Sketch. This would mean increasing
the number of men in this service
from twelve thousand to fifty thou
sand.
Newspapers of this city today took
diverse views regarding the probable
effect of the refusal of Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, to meet
Eamonn DeValera, the Irish republi-
can leader, and Mr.. DeValera's letter
to Sir James declaring that the Sim
Fein could not accept the invitation
of Prime Minister Lloyd George to a
conference relative to Ireland.
Some editorial comment was in
clined to be gloomy, interpreting Mr..
DeValera's assertion that the prime
minister's proposal was not acceptable
in its present form as an indication
that such a meeting was unlikely to
occur On the other hand, a more
hopeful view was not lacking, al
though the uncertainty of the outlook
was admitted.
Approve Craig Action
The decision of Sir James Craig not
to meet the southern Irish leaders ap.
peared to be generally approved by
Ulster men outside of Sim Fein
circles, and it was declared there was
no sign at present of his reconsidering
his decision. The Daily News ex
pressed hope that Sir James would
revise his decision, saying: This is
at present the only hope of ayerting
the continuance, and worse, of the hor
rible anarchy under which Ireland is
I groaning,"
The Daily Mail declared it was un
( able to determine whether Mr.. De
! Valeras message to Sir James meant
/ the refusal of the premiers invitation
/ to a conference. 1t asserted that Sil
James rejection of the invitation ex
tended by Mr.. DeValera was quite in
telligible" but it said it would be wise
ITO reconsider that refusal.

Michigan Field Becomes
United States Property

LANSING, Mich, June 30.-The
Michigan legislature met today for the
second special session of the year.
The session, expected to be of short
duration, was for the purpose of re-
enacting a soldiers bonus enabling
act. At the previous session the legis-
lators had neglected to exempt the
thirty million dollar bond issue from
taxation and the oversight hampered
sale of the securities, resulting in de-
lay in payment of the bonus.

German National Wealth.

A German economist has published
figures bringing up to date HELF.
FERrcu's index of German national
wealth and income in the years be
fore the war. The estimates are
based on the volume Of production
gauged by the goods carried on rail
roads and waterways.
IN 1912 the goods traffic was 567,-
100000 tons. This was taken to cor.
respond to national wealth of 3OO,-
900 100000 gold marks, yielding a ma
tional income OF 40,000,000,000 gold
marks. With these estimates as n
base of 100 the income and wealth
of 1913 were calculated to have
reached 106 per cent. of the 1912 esti-
mate. In 1914 the percentage dropped
to 81: in 1915 to rs; in 1915 1t rose
to Ss: in 1917 it was 81; in 1918 it
declined to So.
In 1919 the figures for all produc-
tion and goods traffic were not avail
able. but from conservative estimates,
based on what data colld be com
piled. national wealth had fallen to
1SS. 900 100000 gold marks and ma
tional income to 24,400,000,000 gold
marks, or 61 per cent. of the 1912
estimate.
The authority whose figures are
cited declares that the sum Of "a 4,400,.
100000 gold marks of national in
come "implies a decline of not less
than 40 per cent in the standard Of
living" He adds that If the total
indemnity Of 3200o,000.0O0 gold
marks is to be deducted from Ger
many's national wealth by payments
10 the Allies, the present figure Of
f8S. .000, 100000 gold marks of ma
tional wealth will be redu"ed by
about two-tnirds and the national in
come and tho standard OF living will
suffer in the same degree
The argument presented does not
at first appear convincing But it
has 10 be remembered that the Ger
man reporations debt is not compa-
rable with an internal debt, because
each payment OF q billion marks
means the transfer Of that much Of
German wealth to another country.
Unless means were found by which
Germany could Increase her produc

The Chinese Consortium.

Just where the four Power inter
national banking consortium for
China, formed by the leading finan'
cial institutions of England, France,
Japan and the United States, fits into
the plans concerning the Far East
now under consideration at Washing
ton has not yet been made clear. The
consortium is founded on the same
principles as the Far Eastern policy
of the United States. It's purpose is
to promote international cooperation
in financing China and to abolish
commercial spheres of influence.
Secretary HUGHES gave his ap
proval to the consortium a month
after he took office. Since then China
has defaulted on a loan of $500, 600
previously made, and a loan Of a
similar amount has been suggested
by the consortium members in this
country, with the offer of additional
money to meet other maturing obh-
gations. The American bankers in
the consortium have issued state
ment in which they say:
1.-THE American group. in order to
try to assist the Chinese Government
to meet it's nearby American maturi-
ties of November / and December /
Of this year. several weeks ago out
lined the best plan Of refunding those
maturities which it could devise.
The other national groups OF the con-
sortlum had no interest in the plan,
which. in any event, the Chinese
Government did not see its way clear
to accept
Unfortunately the attempt of the
American bankers to assist with
these maturities gave the opportu-
nifty, which has been quickly seized
by some factions interested in the
Far Eastern discussions at Washing
ton, to charge the consortium, and
especially the American bankers,
with an attempt to gain control of
Chinese finances.
This charge is specifically denied
in the statement issued by the Amer
lean bankers. To anybody familiar
with the complicated state of Chinese
finance the charge would appear
without foundation. Nobody has
control of China's finances, and no
body could possibly get control if the
principles Of equal opportunity and
the abolition of spheres of influence
now being discussed at Washington
are finally adopted.
