PARIS. March 2s.-'Unless Ger
many pays what she owes us
France is ruined" admits the Jour-
nal Des Debats in an editorial to-
night commenting on the report of
the finance commission which was
submitted to the French senate by
NJ. Henry Cheron. the chairman of
the commission.
For the coming year France must
raise $4,000. 100000 francs NORMALLY
about 1890. .0Oo. .0o0). to cover the
deficiency between expenses of S.
000.000.0o0 FRANCS and resources of
22.OOO, 100000 Hancs. NJ. Cheron
warned his colleagues.
Debt Increase Enormous.
He Stated that the French debt
on March l totaled 302. 200. 900. 900
francs, against 10000. .o00, 900 francs
before the war.
Besides this stupendous debt. he
said. there are the 35S, 200, ,0O0,0 900
francs, needed annually for the re-
construction OF the devastated re-
gions and war pensions, which
France hopes to obtain from Ger
many but which even the Paris
repsrations agreement, which DR..
Simons rejected. does not cover.

Further Penalties Suggested
PARIS, March 23.-Additional pen
alties to be inflicted on the Ger
mans were suggested today by the
interallied reparation commission
here
The recommendations will be for
warded 10 allied capitals tomorrow.
Their character was not divulged
here.
The commission described the
German note received today as an
unqualified refusal to pay"
Z Germans Demand Further Farley.
BERLIN. March 23.-More confer
ences with the allies were demand
ed by Germany today to arrange for
indemnity payments. The Berlin
government sent a note to the in
teraIlied reparations commission.
which stated that Germany cannot
pay the 1.0o0.0oO,OO0 marks required
today
There was some anxiety in off,
cial circles. While the reparations
note setting March % as the Jate
for the initial payment was not re-
garded as an Nultimatum, il was
sharp and definite. Some advisers
of the government feared that Ger
many was showing herself too much
inclined to obstruct a final set
tlement and that serious trouble
might result.
Nevertheless. 5'ancial experts in
Berlin declared fatty that the sum
named by the commission is no.
available. To attempt so large a
payment would wreck the financia.
system of the country and precipi-
tate further Industrial troubles. they

Judging by the news reports the coal intfustry,s
side Of the war on the assigned car system got a
lot OF publicity. where publicity will do lot Of
good, yesterday. The assigned car is a relic Of the
day whom coal transportation went by favor and
the traffic departments of railroads were honey.
comhed with graft. 1t took lot of legislation and
not few jail sentences to eliminate the grosser
form of the graft andtavorittsm in car distribution,
but the assigned car has managed to survive and
about the only way in which to get rid of 1t is to
make the coal buying public understand just how
tho system which enables the railroads 10 buy fuel
on preferential terms affects it.

Washington air is charged to the limit with
gossip about the prospective appointment of new
chief justice. An examination of some of the stories
indicates that Mr. Harding Is more than little en-.
barrassed by wealth Of material, and it probably
Is true that he will have some difficulty in arrlv.
ing at conclusion His worst difficulty probably
lies in the fact that while there are many men In
tho country who would make good Supreme court
justices tho public for the moment expects him to
name either Taft or Hughes. That attitude Is
scarcely fair to the President. Mr.. Hughes is at
present employed on projects of the highest i'm.

best thing to change him while there might be
