Germans Silent on
Reparation Plans

BERLIN, Dec. 26. - DIR. Fischer
chairman of the German war debt
commission, has been instructed to
proceed to Paris for discussions with
the separations commission. His mis-
sion concerns Germany's reply to the
commissions inquiries, and was de-
clded upon after informal conferences
Although DIR. Rathenau has been
in constant touch with the cabinet
and also with President Ebert since
his return from London, official quar-
tiers decline to discuss the informa-
ton he brought back, or to give any
indication of the nature of the reply.

matters to be discussed then. how.
ever, would have to do very largely
with replacement building, Lord Lee,
OF the British group, and Secretary
Hughes, are said to have expressed
the opinion that the question should
be taken up three years before the hol-
1day expires and as it now stands, the
meeting would be some time in 1928
1929. 1t should be recalled that while
the "5-5-3" capital ship ratio has been
accepted Professionally at least. by all
of the five powers, it does not become
effective until the 10-year holiday
ends.
Great Britain Holds Lead
During the holiday, Great Britain
will maintain 20 per cent larger cap
ital ship force than the United States.
She has agreed to scale down at the
end of that period to an equality with
the American fleet, however, and this
process cannot be worked out now in
detail. By again going over the ground
three years before the holiday end
however. the method of British reduc-
ton can be provided for, even if it
does not then seem advisable to pro-
vide for further naval reductions all
around as many delegates hope will
be the case. The three year interval
will permit the building of new ships
to displace old, in the reinforcement
OF tonnage under the 1913" program.
1t is also regarded as altogether
probable that, in seven years, the pre-
sent controversy as to relative merits
of capital ships and aircraft in war
will have cleared itself. Should the
predictions of some experts that air
craft eventually will make capital
ships useless have been made good.
the seven year session could write
that development into new naval
agreement contemplating abandon
ment OF the capitals, it is pointed out.
In the same way, it could apply to the
new theory of non-competitive naval
building any. other scientific develop
ments in the way of new agencies of
warfare which the years have brought
to light.

APPROVE CHANGE
IN SOVIET h j | {
All-Russian Congress Puts
OK. on Economic Policy
Outlined by Lenine

MOSCOW, Dec. 26.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. THE ninth all-Russian
Soviet congress today approved of the
new Soviet econoimc policy as outlin-
ed before that gathering yesterday by
Premier Lenine. This approval was
given by accepting Premier Lenine's
address, Which was presented with the
report of the council commissioners
on domestic and foreign affairs of the
Soviet government.
The congress Endorsed resolution
of thanks to DR.. Fridjof hansen, and
the American Administration for Fam
inc Relief in Russia. The resolution
especially mentioned the relief admin
istration as having helped more than
any foreign delegation.
Delegate Semashko presented an
alarming report of the typhus cpl
demic, which he described as being so
bad on the railways that half of the
soldiers travelling from place to place
had contracted the disease. He said
dozens of bodies, including many chill
dren, were being picked up daily at
congested railway centers.
A large faction of Communists, who
dislike the governments change to
capitalistic methods, oined grudgingly
capitalistic methods, Joined grudging
ly in acceptance of the new economic
policy.
One reason why they approved it at
all, it was explained in some quarters,
was because they had no alternative
to offer, Although they detest the

trusts" they received their leaders
apologies that the economic change
was only preface to construction of
a real Communistic government.

SUBMARINE ROW

Under this suggestion, which has so
far received no formal endorsement
from any of the delegations, the
United States, Japan, italy and

Adriatic.

that by that time it may be possible
to work out an extension OF the naval
holiday in the light of seven-year
test of the engagement. In any event,
it has been said, there will be details
to work out of the program that is to
replace the 10-year fleet status with
actual application CT the "o-2-3' capt.
tai ship ratio.
IL is also more probable that some
definite step toward a world confer
ence on submarines, probably to De
held within three years, will be taken
soon. What form it will take is in
doubt. pending final action here on
submarines and it is certa.a snar the
American delegation plans to exhaust
every effort to bring about an, agree
ment as to submarine tonnage Wn:cn
will result in actual reduction OF tom
mage and de-limitation of future sub
marine building programs, before
passing to other auxiliary craft prop
ositions.
The initial word for world subma-
rine conference came from the British
delegation in line with its fruitless
effort to get this conference 10 ugIee
to adjustment of underwater craft
entirely. The American delegation eX-
pressed much sympathy with the Brit
ish view, but was not reauy 90 con-
slder such step, except in conjunc-
ton with all nations.
French Suggest Plan
1t is pointed out that in the event
oil the calling of spec.-- wor;d sub
marine conference, such matters as
use OF poison gas, aircraft bombing
and any new agencies of war, could
be talked over with a view to setting
up an International code to govern

difficult question of land ornaments
could be nut forward IN tho cunnla

Europe, which viii then admit of an
agreement to curb army establish
ments as we'll as navies.
The project to call another session
of the five power naval conference
