three million idle American labprers
back to work. Congressman Young,
of North Dakota, in charge Of the

suming public generally. Details of

Some of the choicest phrases OF
this sort were:

"I shall not indulge in prophecy.

cautioning the newspaper correspond
ents that this government was acting,
not as an intermediary, but as the
friend Of the Allies. Far mora inn
portant, it led directly to the state
ment in last nights note that the next
proposals to be made by Germany
should be addressed directly to the
Allies and not through this government.
So that now the American govern
ment is in the peculiar position of
wishing to take part in the economic
settlements of Europe, but of being un-
willing to take any steps at all until
it has been assured by the Allies that
the rights for which it has been con-
tending in Yap and Mesopotan1ia will
be recognized.
1t is generally recognized, however,
that the representations made by the
United States in the informal confer
ences with the Allies following the re-
ceipt of the German proposals were
very largely responsible for the delay
by the French in occupying the Ruhr
coal fields. The position Of this gov
ernment on that point is that the
French move would be step in the
direction of a crushed Germany,
whereas this government believes,
strongly that Germany should be per-
mitted to gain an economic position
where she can pay the reparations.

that there was famine In ireland. as
Serting "there Is every kind OF plerEy. !"
Taking American newspapers Of re-
pute at random, Lord Northcliffe de-
clared he had found the following
"knockings:" The British debt, oil, Yap.
the Japanese Grown Princes visit. edu-
cation Of the Japanese in flying by
British aviators, and the AnRlo-J apa-
nese treaty.
AS regarded the debt, he noted that
Great Britain had advanced s1,61o,-
voo,ooo In cash to the Allies and her
dominions during the war, "a mighty
burden for q country infinitely less in
size than many of your states" The
whole British debt to the United States,
he said, was gS62,o00,000.
Lord Northcliffe die not believs there
was any real cause for friction over the
oil question. ,,t
The supposition in some quarters,
continued the speaker, was, seemingly,
that the Japanese attitude relative to
Yap was due to some alliance with
Great Britain Of an offensive and de-
fensive nature.
There cannot be any possibility
of an Anglo-Japanese combination
against the. United States," he said,
but if any British government con-
templated making such a combination
| venture to say Che people of Great
Britain, reinforced by British Colum-
bia, Australia and New Zealand, would
rise rs one man against such pro-
posal."

Regarding the visit to ENGLAND of
the Japanese Crown Prince, Lord
Northcliffe declared: "It is not un-

as I believe he likes to go about
He intimated that unemployment
was responsible in measure for the
use Of British aviators in Japan, add
ing "since English flyers are among
the best, the Japanese government
could have found no better source of
instruction.
"There is no trouble between Great
Britain and the United States said
Lord Northcliffe in conclusion. "There
will be no trouble, in my Judgment, if
we can get together. If we can read
each others newspapers a little more
and get to realize we are not so dis
similar as we seem to be, much will
be achieved. Three centuries, 5000

A very high official, who loves his

to-day Of why America is not going to
do business with the Allies on a nor
rights as those in Mesopotamia and
Yap are conceded by the Allies:
I'VE feel" said this official, "that the
American player was sitting in, at
Paris, at what was supposed to be a
friendly game, even though the stakes
were pretty high. At certain stage
of the game the American player was
called to the telephone. and when he
returnd he found that some one had
stolen his chips. Now he is not willing
to start playing again until those chips
are put back in front of him. The chips
about which we are particularly excited
represent Yap and Mesopotamia."
On the desire for settlement of the
reparations question as speedily as pos
sible. however, the Administration feels
strongly, it developed at 'to-day's Cabi-
net meeting. that progress has been
made. Some very prominent men in
the Administration feel that they have
been unjustly attacked in the various
memoranda exchanged unofficially with
Germany for having played the game
VI tHc 1SIIHdH T FOTelEu OluCe.
Not that there has been any public
attack, but there have been differences
made in conversations here which have
reached the ears of the men connected
with the Administration, and imme-
diately the entire Administration be-
came extremely sensitive to the possi-
bility Of such an attack. This was
pointed out in The Tribune after the
Cabinet meeting last Friday, when it
is understood there was some very
frank talk on this phase of the case
in the Cabinet chamber.
It was because of this that it was
predicted in the Washington dispatches
of The Tribune, and amply borne out
by last nights vote, that the next
message to Germany would contain no
such phrase indicating sympathy with
the suggestion that the reparations
should be pared down so as to permit
Germany hopefully to renew its pro-
ductive activity"
