13 GROUPS IF MANUF LECTURERS IN TRUST QUIZ
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, April 27.-Thirteen groups of manufacturers of the na ton were brought under investfga- ton today at the legislative building trust inquiry, with testimony that they exchange price lists operate se- cret codes for informing one another of their business operations, and before forwarding a final quotation to the prospective buyer.
 The organizations declared to be conducting their exchanges are grouped according to products and include manufacturers of cloth, paper, ammonia, brass, copper, fine cotton goods, meters, napthaline, natural gas appliances, range boilers, steel lock- CTS, steel shashes and pipe valves.
 The committee has been informed that there is no such thing as free competition in the insurance business by w. A. Robb, manager of the New York Fire Insurance Exchange, who who defended joint rate making by the companies. Samuel Untermyer, committee counsel severely criticised it and recommended state supervision.
 The manufacturers exchange in- formation through joint offices here. The committee was told that the maintenance of their system and a large clerical force necessary to con- duct 1t requires expenditures ap-
 reaching $200.000 annually.
 A. A. Ainsworth, secretary Of all the organizations. declined to waive im- munity and was promptly succeeded as witness by his office manager. Frederick H. LoehrS.
 In exchanging data, each concern is represented b ya code number and the product in question in various colors of paper, So the outsider can learn nothing from these reports, MT. Leohrs said The numbers and colors are used for brevity, he asserted. not for secrecy. A
 The steel sash manufacturers ex- change and the Steel Locker Manu- lecturers exchange learn of the bids and quotations of each member before any particular job is let he ex-i plained

GERMAN COUNTER PROPOSAL
 .1 UNACCEPTABLE TO FRANCE
Reparati0m Comment
BERLIN Republican A. p. Leased Wirc1

BERLIN, April 27.-The German workingman will have to become reconciled to a 12-hour day if the economic obligations involved in the German separations counter propo- sals are to be redeemed, sayh the Red Flag, the communist organ, to- ing hours for 15,00O,000 workers will be increased by one-third or more if the nation is to raise 5000, ,000, ,000 gold marks annually.
 While the political writers are op- timistic in their appraisal of the prospective committee appeal of For eign Minister Sinons to President Harding, the financial writers, look ing further ahead, take an extremely gloomy view of Germany's ability to carry the self-imposed burden.
 The present bourse value of the shares of German industrial corpora = tions is estimated by the Vossische Zeitung at S,00.00o.o00 marks. repre- senting only a fraction of the amount named in the counter proposals. The annual payments on the German of fer, the newspapers state, exceed the present total income tax revenue.
 A leading banker today called at teption to the state of the national exchequer, which is struggling with a current deficit of S0,000, ,000. 900 marks and an unconsolidated national debt of 160,000,000, 900 marks to which muct be added so.o00, ,o00. .0o0 marks in unredeemed war loans and an equal amount of paper currency.

WASHINGTON lRepubiican 4. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, April 27-The American government was without any official information as to the at- titude of the allied powers with re- spect to Germans counter proposals on separations. Consequently a reply to the communication received from Berlin yesterday was not prepared.
 The views of the allied governments are expected to be transmitted through their ambassadors here. None of the envoys called tonight at the state department. but an Associated Press dispatch from Paris this eve ming announced that instructions had gone forward to Ambassador Jusser- and to inform the United States that the German propositions were unac- ceptable to France. It was assumed that NJ. Jusserand would make this known officially to Mir. Hughes to- morrow.
 Dispatches from Brussels indicated that fin Belgium the German offer was also regarded as unsatisfactory. There was no word as to the views of the other interested powers. Ad- ministration officers continued their policy of silence with regard to the whole separations question. It was understood that an e;ement of the situation which they have under con sideration Is an intimation from some allied governments that the mere transmission of the German offer by the United States would involve the American government in some measure of responsibility.
 It is believed that the state depart ment is not ready to accept this view of responsibility on it's part, provided it's efforts are confined to a mere transmission of the communication without endorsement of any kind.
 President Harding left Washington today on the Yacht Nayflower for Hampton Roads to be absent until Friday, but it is not thought likely that he will serve to delay the Amer ican answer, Should there be any unforeseen developments. the presi- dent could be communicated with readily by radio.

OFFICIAL GERMAN

BERLIN. April 27-In debate in the reichstag today on the statement by Foreign Minister Simons. Herr Riesser, in behalf of the Center and Peoples party and che Bavarian party, expressed with heavy heart agreement with the government in taking the path to secure President Hartling's mediation. which, he said, eff obtained would open a world pros pect of peace and untrammelled de- velopment.
 "The proposals transmitted to Washington" continued Herr Ries- ser, hold out for us a terrible pros pect, but the German people are prepared to carry out scrupulously what it is possible to perform. If this attempt also fails, it will go down in history that Germany did everything in her power to obtain peace for an exhausted and devas- tated world"
 Former Chancellor Muller defended Dr. Simons, despite the protest of the National party. and aroused great excitement among the Rightists by his vigorous attacks against the Pan Germans.
 Dr. Helfferich. former vice chan cellor said his party not only op- posed the governments appeal to America, but also the spirit which prompted 1t. The peace of Versailles had resulted mercilessly. he declared, through the intervention of a man who came to Europe from America bringing a trunk filled with the most remarkable ideals regarding the re- conciliation of the nations

 Of Grain Exchange Regulations Urged
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, April 27-'Speedy" settlement of the agitation for the regulation of grain exchanges by en- actment of a law which would pre- serve a broad liquid market and retention of the hedging facilities" was urged before the house agricul- tural committee today by F. B. Wells, a grain dealer of Minneapolis The demand for hostile legislation" he said lis keeping buyers out of the market
 Appearing as the first opponent of future trading legislation on which the committee is holding hearings, MT. Wells said sound legislation would have a good effect. He ap- proved many features of the Tincher bill and suggested certain amend ments he said would permit com petent speculative buyers to remain in the market.

EXPORT
 TRADE CARRIES FUTURE OF J. {.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. April 27. The United States cannot afford to isolate itself but must cooperate with the other countries on a "non- political basis" to restore stable busi- ness conditions, A. c. Bedford chair man of the board of directors of the Standard Oil Company of New Jer- sey, and Willis P. Booth, vice presi- dent of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, told the United States chamber of commerce in annual con- vention tonight They pointed out that American business cannot find market abroad for its surplus prod uctS as long as there are unsettled abnormal condition
 MT. Booth urged cooperation with the allies in an effort to settle the indemnity question with Germany. He further suggested that payment of the allies indebtedness to the United States be postponed for a period parallelling the indemnity settlement The future of American greatness Fin foreign trade, said Mir. Bedford, depends upon our ability to think and act internationally. America has to face today the dilem- ma on the one hand of promoting our foreign export trade and on the other of making it possible for the world to Hquidate the financial bal ance which now stands in our favor"
 MT. Booth said the program for putting American business on it's feet should be as follows:
 Cooperation, if practicable, on non political basis with the allies and Germany in settling the indemnity.
 Postpone payment of the allies indebtedness to us for a period of no t.a1s further consideration of these in debtednesses can be given when the world economic situation is clarified.
 Carefully and constructiyely ad- just international trade relations so we may become as far as practicable a buying and selling nation.
 Educate our people to think inter- nationally, realizing our new role, in it's non political aspects. in the hope that we may develop experience and information which will be the basis of such national courage and judg- ment as would be necessary for the proper assumption of our information al responsibilities.
 Establish a permanent national policy under which our flag, stand ing for the power which comes from fairness and right shall protect CiASallS anu lcBlllIlldlS interests about the globe.''
 Suggestions for raising the $4,000,- 900 900 required to run the govern ment for the next fiscal year were made by Representative Good, chair man of the house appropriation com mittee at the afternoon session.
 Our tariff duties should be in- creased he said, and the excess profits tax and the tax on transpor- tation should be repealed and the super-tax on individuals modified The revenue derived from the excess profits tax is no longer necessary. The loss of revenue from the repeal of the transportation tax can be sus- tained by an addition tax upon llxu- ries, such as tobacco.
 Tt would be far better for Ameri- ca, industrially and economically, to fund her war debt over long period of years, and give American industry a chance to win in the race for trade supremacy"

The reparations commission has fixed 1S2,o00.000 gold marks as the total damages for which reparations is due by Germany under article 23S. second paragraph. and annex one, part eight. of the treaty of Versailles.
 The commissions decision was of ficially communicated to Dr. Won Oertzen of the German war burdens commission tonight.
 The action of the separations com mission is in accordance with the provision of the treaty that findings of the commission as to the amonnE of damage done to the civilian pop ulations of the allied and associated powers and to their property during the period of the beliigerency of each must be communicated to the Ger man government on or before May 1, 1921.
 According to the treaty Germany undertakes to meet this obligation. Included in categories for which compensation is demanded are dam ages suffered from bonmbardments cruelty violence of maltreatment. all pensions to naval and military vic tims: the cost of assistance by the allied powers to prisoners of war and their families and dependents; allow ances for similar purposes, anu all levies, fines, and other enactions i'm posed by Germany and her allies up- on civilian populations.
 In fixing the total separations the commission made necessary deduc- tions from the amount of the dam ages in order to allow for restitutions effected or to be effected in the eN- ecution of article 23S. and conse- auently no credit will be allowed Germany with respect to such res titutions.
 The commission did not include tho further obligations incumbent upon Germany by virtue of article 232, Ito make reimbursement of all sums Belgium borrowed from the allied and associated governments up to November H.. 1918, together with in terest at the rate of five per cent.

Nominations For
 POStnaSterS Are
 Sent To Senate
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, April 2. -Ine first nominations of postmasters to be made by President Harding were sent to the senate today, leading to reports that the administrators pol icy in regard to appointment of post masters generally. probably would be announced soon The list contained the names of s4. all of whom, ac- cording to a statement, had made the highest rank in competitive civil service examination, except where veterans preferance statute operates.
 Congressional leaders said their understanding was that the nominees had not only qualified under the civ il service requirements but were ac- ceptable to party leaders in their re- spective districts.
 Congressmen said the expected definition of policy probably would be in the form of an order contin- uing. perhaps, with some modifica- tions" the civil requirements now existing for postmasters Of all class es. and clarifying regulations pro- viding for retirement of postal em- ployes.
 In some quarters it has been said civil service requiremtnts for ap- pointment might be continued with provision that selection could be  made from among the first three or four in the list, so allowing some latitude in making nominations.
 E. I. Lewis of Indianapolis. chair man of the Indiana Public Service commission, and J. $. Campbell, a Spokane, Wash. lawyer and rate ex- pert, were nominated to be mem bers of the interstate commerce com mission.
 Other nominations sent to the sen ate included:
 Edward Clifford. Chicago, H., to be assistant secretary of the treas ury.

ROOT CONDEMNS SENTIMENT FUR TRADE
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WTre1

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Any ac- tion tending to support the soviet re- gime whether for sentiment or for trade, is a hindrance to the restora- tion of law and the rule of interna- tional justice" Elihu Root. head of the American mission to Russia in 1917. declared tonight in an address before the American Society Of in ternational Law.
 The rapid development of inter nationalism is a threatening obstacle to international law. MT. Root said, adding:
 This is presented by the avowed purposes of the Third Internationale, aiming at the destruction of national governments and the universal em- pire of the proletariat; by the fact that the brutal and cruel despotism of Lenine and his associated group has been able to maintain Its as cendancy over the vast territory and population of Russia, calling itself dictatorship ever the proletariat as well as all other classes, and ruling in the name of a world revolution, for the accomplishment of the pur- poses of the Third Internationale.

WILSON NOT POPULAR.
 WITH FORMER KAISER.
.1RepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIre1


 BERLIN, April 27-"Wilson should be kicked out" was the former kai- ser's comment on the note of the then American secretary of state, Sobert Lansing, in reply to Pope Benedict's s attempted peace meditation in the summer, of 1917.
 This revelation is contained in a brochure issued by Philip Scheide- mann, former secretary for foreign ar- fairs, in which he reviews efforts of the vatican to halt the war. Williams marginal comment on MT. Lansing s communication was:
 "Wilson must give up the notion that he can make the German people what he wants to make it. He must take it as it is. Neither the nation, the army nor the kaiser will accept the Wilson peace of un- derstanding. Wilson should be kicked out.''
 Seheidemann accused the old ad- ministration of dilatory treatment or the pope's note and with eQuivocatlon on negotiations on that occasion
