FRANCES POSITION
ON PREPARATIONS
Claims Cost of War to Her Was
50O,O00,OOO,OOO
Francs.

Paris. - An official exposition of
Frances present position as regards
German PREPARATIONS has been given by
the foreign Office. The foreign office
statement follows:
The total cost of the war to France
amounts to ,000,0OO,OOO francs. The
French fore gn debt before 1911 was
nothing; the foreign debt in 1920 to-
tailed S4,O0OOOO,OO0 francs.
OF the 5OO,OOO,OOO,OO0 francs which
the war cost France the treaty of YER
sailles provides for the reimbursement
In the form of reparations for damage
done to property and for pensions of a
total estimated by the French govern
ment at 22O,OOOOOO.OOO francs, divided
as follows: 145,0O0,OOO,OOO francs for
damages and 75,OOO,OOO,OOO for pen
sions.
BY agreement among the Allies
Frances share of all reparational pay
ments made by Germany was fixed at
% per cent. Consequently it is est
mated that France would have received
out of the 20,000000,O00 gold marks
payable by Germany under Article 235
of the treaty and out of the annuities
stipulated by the Paris concordat of
January 29-which represented the
minimum France was willing to accept
about 140,00O,000,OO0 francs at the
nreSpnt rate of EXCHANGE or % NOR
cent of her total war expenditures, and
63 per cent of the total reparatOns due
her under the treaty. Germany, how
ever, has failed to make the payments
required by Article 235 and has reject
ed the Par S concordat.
OF the sums owing by her under the
treaty or advanced to her by the Allies
Germany has paid nothing i'm money

DAIRY AND POULTRY


Further price recessions have charac-
terized the market this week. all the
products except dressed poultry sharing
in the drop. Butter has declined &c, eggs
&c.
Dealers have been expecting a sharp
break in values of butter, as is usual at
this season, and have held off buying
as long as possibl. This has helped to
force prices down, and each day has
seen receivers accepting 1c less for all
creasing rapidly and while much of this
weeks butter has been poor in quality,
supplies. are too liberal and further drops
expected; Fresh 90-92 score is now SELL
ing at 373Sc and storage at 33-34c.
April eggs are usually considered the
best Of the seasons production, and de;
mands for storage have served TO hold
prices, from making any sharp break,
but the general opinion is that prices
are too high and they seem to be cor
rect, as prices have declined about Ac
daily, and are still weak Nearby eggs
are more plentiful as the Matching period
Is about over, and these have declined
storage, packed eggs are bringing 27-29c
and ordinary receipts 25-26c.
Country markets continued the de-
York state points 2hc lower than the
previous week. The local market fol-
lowed suit and fresh Twins went down
&c to 1870 and the held cheese also
was easier at 24-26c.
Live poultry demands for the Jewish
then heavier supplies and little selling
caused a gradual slump until now prices
are SAC lower. Fat fowl are having
weak at 2S-33c. Dressed poultry has
sold well in a peddling way, and so far
supplies have not been excessive, but
heavier shipments are in transit and de-
clines will probably follow next week.
Fancy fowl have gone well at 1880, and
few chickens sold around 35-45c as to
quality.

ITALY SUPPORTS
U. S. zap STAND
Contends That America Has
Equal Rights and Privileges
in All Allies Mandates.
HUGHES NOTE APPROVED
Ambassador Ricci Sends Note to Secre-
tary Hiehes Regarding lsland-Re-
ply Says Council Is Expected to
Eliminate Disagreement.

Washington.-Th Italian govern
ment has unequivocally aligned itself
on the side of the United States in the
controversy over the future of the
status of the island Of zap.
Baron VittOrio Rolandi Ricci, the
Italian ambassador, laid before Secre-
tary Hughes a communication from his
government which definitely pledged
Italy to support the American conten-
ton of equal rights and privileges with
all other nations in mandate terrific
ries
The Italian position is even stronger
than that taken by the French govern
ment in its answer to the American
note on zap, forwarded to all the as
ISOLATED powers by Secretary Hughes
on April 5, as it carries the direct
pledge that the fullest cooperation will
be extended this government in future
discussions of the zap question before
the Council of Ambassadors.
The French answer admitted that
President Wilson and former Secretary
of State Lansing had made specific res
ervatiOns as to zap at Paris and gave
assurance that the American position
of equality would be presented to the
allied ambassadors, whereas the Ital-
ian governments reply discloses the
desire of that government that no dis
be directed toward the
United States in any mandate terri
tory.
The complete text of the Italian
made public by Secre-
tary of State Hughes, follows:
Italy is fully convinced that the
United States are not asking for any
privilege in the island of zap which
is not equally granted to every other
nation, including Japan. Italy is also
convinced that the United States in
tend to protect their interes in the is
land of zap, with full consideration
for the interest of other nations.
Italy, therefore, has not hestated
to express herself in a way which
agrees with the text of the
American note of the 9th of April in
slant concerning the equality of right
among mandataries in the exercise of
heir mandates.
Italy wishes and trusts that the
lust rights of everybody concerned be
always and everywhere, in
he island of zap as well as in every
)ther place and circumstance, with per
ect equalit yand justice
Italy seconded the Anglo-French
which confided the study of
he zap question to the juridical COM
nittee and the conference of ambas-
adors in Paris, and she now expects
hat the conference will pronounce it
elf with equanimity in such way as
o eliminate every possibility of dis
agreement and to conciliate all con-
Letting interests
Italy is particularly glad whenever |
he moral policies of the two govern
nents and the material interests of the |
wo nations agree in such a way as to /
nut Italy and the United States in a |
position to cooperate toward the at |
ainment of the common end, which |
onsists in the realization of an era /
f serene peace and prosperity for the |
ivilized world"

The Massachusetts state department
Of labor and industries announces that
32.1 per cent. of the 163,S1S members
of labor organizations in the state
were unemployed on March 81, an in
crease from 31.S per cent, the pre-
vious high record, which was reached
Dec. 81, 1920. The table supplied by
the department shows that the in
crease is due entirely to strikes. In
December, 1871 per cent were en-
ployed because of lack of work, with
only 81 loafing because of strikes.
The March percentages show, how
ever, that only 22.2 per cent. of the
total is now represented by unemploy-
ment, while SO per cent. are out of
work because OF strikes.
Massachusetts supreme court in
formed the Senate that the bill sus-
pending the charter of the Second
Universalist Society of Boston, which
had been reported fayorably by the
committee on mercantile affairs, is
unconstitutional, basing its opinion on
the famous Dartmouth College VS..
Woodward case of 1880, in which
Daniel Webster argued for the college.
The court holds that the Legislature
has no right to revoke or suspend a
charter granted by the Legislature
prior to 1881 unless the organization
holding the charter consents. The
Second Church has resisted all at
tempts to take away any of its rights
to the property valued at S1,250.000
held in its name.
AS a first step in its efforts TO re-
vive the activity of New England
