Chancellor Wirth Threatens to
Retire and Reparations
Plan Is Menaced.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Oct. 10.-The hurried return
20 Berlin OF Chancellor wirth and the
unexpected conference on Sunday be-
tween DR.. Sthamer. the Ambassador to
Great Britain. and DR.. Rosen. the For
eign Minister, now form the basis OF a
rumor that the German Government is
definitely anticipating an adverse de-
cision on the Upper Silesian question.
Although Official quarters claim to be
wholly without tangible information
with respect to the Geneva negotiations
DR.. STEAMERS flying trip to Berlin has
created the impression here that the
Wirth Government thas been warned to
be prepared for the worst.
The belief prevails here that Ambas-
sador Sthamer will return to London
with an unofficial message to the effect
that the Wirth Cabinet would be def
nitely placed in jeopardy in the event
that the plebiscite area is partitioned !;
that the Government would retire, as it's
reparations programme then would be
gravely nlenaced witt, respect 20 ability
TO carry out the obligations OF the allied
ultimatum, and that Silesian crisis
also would definitely dispose OF 81 plan
now in progress having in view the en-
listing OF the cooperation OF industrial.
financial and commercial interests and
the procuring Of foreign credits.
For the first time since the Silesian
issue was given to the council of the
League of Nations the German press is
venting inpatience over the negotiations
at Geneva. Theodor Wolff In the Ber-
liner Tngebtatt, commenting on a report
that the league council has voted for
partitioning the disputed area. recon-
mends an alright economic blockade OF
Poland by Germany in the event Silesia
is partitioned. He asserts that Poland
is bereft of all means for supporting her
self economically and that this would be
the best means "for bringing Poland to
q realization Of the fact that the main
spring Of her economic vitality is located
in Germany"

DUBLIN, Oct. lebanon dc Valera
Issued proclamation tonight
through the Dali Eireann dealing
with the London conference. In it
he declares that the only peace which
can end the struggle will be one con-
sistent with the nations right and
one guaranteeing freedom worthy the
eufferings endured to secure it.
The Irish delegates who. are to
meet the British representatives in
London, he says, indulge in no fool
ish hopes, and he advises the country
not to indulge in them.
The Sim Fein leader alludes to the
power opposing Irish aspirations,
and sounds the warning that essen
tial unity will best be maintained by
answering faith in those deputed to
Get in the nations behalf.
The text OF the proclamation reads:
Fellow Citizens: The conference in
which the accredited representatives
of the nation are about to engage
with representatives OF INC ISrAllsi
Government must profoundly influ-
ence aud may determine the whole
course Of our country's future. 1t
will affect the lives and fortunes OF
every section of the community.
Whatever tho differences of the
past, it is to the interest. as 1t is the
duty, Of all Irishmen to stand to-
gether for Ireland now. Our dele
gates arc keenly conscious OF their
responsibilities. they must be made
to feel that united nation has con-
fidcnce in them and will support
them unflinchingly. They share with
each one of us the ardent desire that
this secular conflict between the rui-
ers Of Great Britain and the Irish
people may happily be brought to
m end.
But they realize that the ending
of the conflict does not depend upon
their will or the will Of this nation.
The struggle on our side has always
been simply for the maintenance or
right that in its nature is indcfeas-
ible and that cannot, therefore. be
either relinquished or compromised.
The only peace that In the very
nature OF things can end the strug-
gle will be a peace consistent with
the nations right and guaranteeing

dured to secure 1t.

The delegates are aware that no

nor should the country indulge IN

The peace that will end this con-
fiict will be secured not by the skin
or statesmanship of the leaders pul
by the stern determination Of close
knit nation steeled by acceptance OF
death rather than abandonment or
rightful liberty. Nothing but such
Determination by our people can over

All would be again lost; threats that

VANDERBILT HAS
PLAN TO SOLVE
ALLIED PUZZLE
Would Apply Interest on Old
World Debt to Work of
Restoration.
By FRANK A. VANDERBILT.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-QueStions 1ndt-
cate interest. There are certainly ques-
lions enough asked about the plan for
handling the inter-allied Indebtedness to
the United States which 1 have proposed
to leave no doubt that people are inter
ested.
That plan, briefly, suggested that the
payment to US by the allies of the inter
est, and gradually the principal, or what
they owe would probably be an fmpos-
sible drain upon their resources, but, so
far as they did pay, it would disoT-
ganize our industrial affairs, because pay
ment would have to be made in goods.
To avoid the danger of running our
debtors and harming ourselves, 1t was
suggested that for a time the interest
payments be devoted to the rehabilitation
of Europe, expended under our direction.
There would be no relation between the
source of the payment and the place OF
expenditure Much of the expenditure
would be in the form of revolving credits,
and would result in replacing allied OBJ
legations with obligations OF other gov
ernments, but with the further SPECIFIC
Fecurity OF the railway, grain warehouse
hydro-e1ectric plant or other work that
had been undertaken.
The most frequent question asked is:
If the allies ara unable to pay US inter
lest on the debt, how would 1t be pos
sfbIe for them to put cash in our hands
to make such expenditures as suggested
for the rehabilitation Of European eco
nomic life? It is apparently difficult 20
grasp the economic difference between
making a payment to US here in America
and making payments to be expended
under our direction in Europe. If pay
mepts cannot be made to us here, many
fail TO see how they could be made If
thew were not brought here.
There is. think, a distinct difference
in the difficulties involved in the two
forms Of payment
Let US take, for example, the situation
IN Italy. Italy is one of the richest coun-
tries in Europe in its effective labor sup
ply. It is one of the poorest countries
in native raw material There IS al pres
ent much unemployment. The official
figures when I was in Italy were 100000,
and unemployment has been steadily in
creasing. Italy is doing better than al
