BAVARIA Is SUBMISSIVE

LONDON, Feb. II (Friday) A des-
patch TO the London Times from Berlin
says DR.. Walter Simons, the German
Foreign Minister, left for Stuttgart last
night and on Saturday will deliver there
speeches in reply to the pronouncements
made in Birmingham by Lloyd George.
Afterward he will tour south and west
Germany and confer with local officials
there concerning reparations.
The despatch adds that a committee
of experts has drafted memorandum
of Germany's exporting and importing
capacity as basis for Germany's
ability TO pay the reparations demanded
by the Allies. The documents contain
an estimated adverse trade balance in
1920 OF 5000. 900. 900 marks. They de-
clare that Germany would have to have
double her exports before she could
eliminate her adverse balance.
This reckoning. II is stated. does not
take into account the IL per cent. on the
value of exports and other huge pay
ments demanded. the deliveries OF coal
and dyestuffs and the cost of the occupa-
t:onal army.
The documents finish by pointing out
seizure of control of German customs.
and compelling Germany to flood the
world markets with her goods.
The Baravian Government says the
TGge6ldtts Munich correspondent, Is
sending a note to the German Govern
ment explaining that, while Bavaria adj
heres to the standpoint that the disarma-
ment and reparations decisions should
not be treated separately. Bavaria will
not oppose orders the German Govern
ment may consider necessary. consistent
with the Constitution. regarding dis
armament. Bavaria leaves the rsponsi-
bility In this matter to the German Gov
ernment.
ROME, Feb. 10.-In an interview to-
day the German Ambassador to Italy.
Herr Gossler declared that the Berlin
authorities were working feverishly day
and night in drafting counter proposals
to the allied reparations claims to show
the impossiblity Of Germany meeting
the demands.

MORE CARDINALS
FOR U. S. PROBABLE
Pope Benedict Expected to
Raise Number-ArchbishOp
Dougherty Will Be One.
AWAIT ANNOUNCEMENT
Sacred College After March
Consistory Will Number
63 Cardinals.
AWAIT ANNOUNCEMENT
Ru Che Aasocintcd Press.


ROME, Feb 10.--Archbishop Dough-
erty of Philadelphia will be the next
American Cardinal according to the
view held in Vatican circles. The OIL
cial announcement is awaited hourly.
and the almost unanimous opinion is
that the choice OF Archbishop Dougherty
is definite.
The appointment Of a new American
Cardinal will be made at the next secres
consistory. which will be held early in
March. and the whole attention of the
Vatican has centred for some time on the
American candidate.
From 1775 to 1911 America had only
one Cardinal Pope Plus Y. for the
first time. in the consistory of 1911. in
creased the number OF American Cardi-
nails to three. In addition. Mgr. Fal-
comic, Apostolic Delegate at Washing
ton. who received the red hat in the
same consistory, was an American citi-
zen.
Pope Benedict has preserved the ira
dition OF Plus y. by keeping the num-
Der of American Cardinals at three. but
in view of the fact that the United
State is the third Catholic power in the
and France. the prevailing opinion here
has been that the Cardinalates in the
United States would be increased in
number
Italy. with respect to the church. occu-
pies a special position. At the present
time she has twenty-one Cardinals out
oe ffty-seven. Spain. with 20,000,00O
Catholics, has four, and will have six
after the next consistory, while the
United States. with the Philippines,
Porto Rico. Guam and Hawaii, totalling
more than 1000. 900 Catholics will have
but half of Spain's representation.
The Sacred College after the March
consistory will number sixty-three. of
which thirty Cardinals will be Italian.
Seven red hats thus will be unassigned.
the full quota of the Sacred College being
seventy though this is never attained,
each Pope desiring to leave some vacan-
cies in order that his successor may be
able Immediately to appoint new Cardi-
nails on his ascension to the throne.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-The despatch

SEE BRITISH ATTACK
ON CHINA,S OPEN DOOR
Washington Opposes Attempt
to Control Wireless.
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 10.

An attack on the "open door" policy
in China is seen by the American Gov
ernment in British opposition to the
continuation of the contract which the
Federal Telegraph Company. an Amer.-
can organization. has made with the
Government of China TO erect wireless
plants in that country.
The State Department accordingly will
fight to the finish efforts which the
British Government Is making to obtain
cancellation of the contract by the Chi
nese Government. provided the situation
is as IL is understood here.
The State Department will consider
the charge that the contract is an In
fringement of the rights OF the Marconi
Company. British concern. but SO far
as information received here now indi-
Gates, tho charge Is not well founded.
The Federal Telegraph Company con-
tract does not provide for "A 'monopolis-
tic control OF any region and 1t Is on
this phase of the situation that the
American Government will rest its case.
In its stand for an open door" and
equal commercial opportunity for all In
China. the American State Department
has opposed any 1nonOpOliSblC ContTOi
in China and has consistently refused
to support American nationals who were
proposing 10 make contracts of this
character. on the contrary. the Marconl
Company Is a monopolistic concern and
to that extent is regarded as violation
OF the "open door" policy.
Success by the British Government in
forcing a cancellation of the American
contract would give 10 the British a
practical monopoly Of radio communica-
ton In China. This would bring about
n situation where communications be-
tween this government and China would
have 20 pass through British controlled
service. a situation which is causing
American irritation In the Atlantic.
The case is regarded as test one
and OF such Importance that II Is being
discussed directly between the British
Foreign Office and the state Department.
American officials hold that Gres,
Britain cannot press her claims TO an
exclusive control Of the wireless service
Of China without violating existing
treaties. In the event that the British
Government continues to exert pressure
on the Chinese Government Il is inti-
mated this Government has an alterna-
tive course in mind

that fact.
Premier Lloyd George to-day sent a
stern reply to the Associated Society of
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen.
which threatened a national strike un-

he was investigating the incident, but
added:
mo threat OF national strike could

the Government on a matter of the ad-
ministration Of the law. and we will
consider the question purely on its
merits, without reference to these inn
proper threats"

Government officials arc not greatly
alarmed over the situation, however. and
assert that the Government is doing all
In its power now to settle the Irish

The results OF the South African cleo

NO AGREEMENT WITH.
JAPAN, SAYS COLBY
Tells Senator Lodge Alien
Land Law Is Still Under
Discussion.
Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 10.
Secretary OF State Colby to-day denied
in a letter TO Senator Lodge (Mass.) }.
chairman OF the Foreign Relations
Committee. that any agreement on the
question of Japanese ownership of land
in California has been reached between
America and Japan az the result of the
conversations between Ambassadors
Norris and Shidehara. His denial was
made in response to the letter of Sena-
tor Lodge asking the Secretary of State
for documentary information on the
alien land law controversy.
Secretary Colby admitted there had
been preliminary comparison of views
coupled with recommendations that are
still the subject of examination" but re-
fused to furnish copies of these records,
saying that to do so would be pre-
mature and might tend to defeat ul-
Innate settlement OF the question. The
text of Mr.. Colby's letter follows:
"I have the honor to acknowledge the
requesting. IL not incompatible with the
public interest, that 1 furnish the COM
mittee with a copy OF the agreement
reachd by the japanese Ambassador and
Mr. Morris
Permit me to say that this request
indicates a misrepresentation of the status
of the pourparlers which have been go
ing on for some time past with a view
to reaching a friendly understanding AZ
to the scope and terms of a conventional
agreement yet to be negotiated by the
plenipotentiaries of Japan and the
United States when they shall have been
duly empowered to that end. While l
think / am warranted in saying that
substantial progress has been made to-
ward an ultimate agreement, there is no
agreed text of which copy could be
communicated to the committee in ad-
vance Of the regular submission OF
whatever convention may be ultimately
signed.
II think you and the committee Will
readily concede that any communication
of record which is practically that OF
preliminary comparison of views coupled
with recommendations which are still
the subject of examination would be
premature and might tend to defeat
rather than aid an eventual settlement
OF a question which has been the source
of much misunderstanding and misinter-
probation for period OF many years.
