representatives of the Chicago Tri-
bune to forward to the American
Legion a letter of appreciation for

not American in origin and In which
the motives are easily distinguished

served their love for France and
justice and that they are continuing
to fight for the cause as during the

GERMANY STAMPS

AS TRUE TO FORM
Socialists and Capitalists
Alone Disapprove
Of. Minister.

BERLIN, March 12. - Germany,
through her Reichstag, today ap-
proved Foreign Minister Won Sis
mons conduct of the reparations
negotiations.
Although Won Simon's refusal to
approach the allied demands In his
offers brought occupation of a rich
industrial section of Germany, his
course was defended by most Of the
Reichstag. The vote Of confidence
awarded the government was
marked only by the nays" Of the
extreme Socialists, and supporters
of capitalists such as Herr SHINES
who saw their personal property
jeopardized by occupation.
Won Simmons was forced to defend
his negotiations with some Vigor
when he was assailed for exceeding
the authority vested in him by the
cabinet. He replied that the con-
ference got beyond an economic
stage and he was forced to make
concessions.
The developments today indicated
that Germany will not soon bid fol
reopening of negotiations. German
officials indicated they are willing
to sit back and watch the allies at
tempt to get monetary satisfaction
through the costly occupation of
small strip of Germany.
Members of nationalist organiza
tions have declared against at
tempting further negotiations be
fore the allies evacuate the newly
occupied territory.

OBRECON ALLEGED
TOSHUN TREATY
Mexican President Said to
Want u. s. Favor
- Unattached.

President obregon of Mexico, ac-
cording to unofficial advices reach
ing here, has indicated Informally
that he does not favor yielding to
the demands of the United States
sent through former Secretary OF
State Colby for a treaty giving
guarantees Of protection to Ameri-
can lives and interests In Mexico
as q condition precedent to recog-
milton of his government
The attitude of President Obre-
gon is said to be known to Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary OF
State Hughes, who are giving the
Mexican problem close study with
a view to bringing about a restora-
tion of diplomatic relations 1t is
known that President Harding
hopes for a speedy restoration OF
these relations and il planning to
name an Ambassador to Mexico
having in mind for the post his old
friend, R. b. Creager. Of Texas
who has conferred with him several
times on the subject of Mexican af-
fairs since the Inauguration.
In some quarters II is declared
that the new administration will
find a way to get assurances OF
guarantees from Mexico without
the formality of a treaty which, II
is said. is regarded by Obregon al
an attempt to humiiiate his ad'
ministration.
The President conferred yester'
day with Nelson O'Shaughnessy
former charge d'affaires in Mexico
who left the service early in th'
Wilson regime. Mr.. O'Shaughness!
denied emphatically a report tina
he would be returned to MeAico. I
is regarded probable. however. tina
he may re-enter the diplomati
service.
Reports that President Hardini
now has an emissary in Mexic'
were strongly denied at the Stat
Department

BENSON SUPPORTS
FREE CANAL TOLLS
FOR us. VESSELS
Also TakesHarding Stand
On Abrogation Of Com

Following closely upon instruc-
lions from President Harding to
continue to exercise tns functions
OF chairman OF the shipping Board
pending the appointment Of new
members, ADMIRAL w. s. Benson has
DECLARED himself for two policies In
conflict with views of former Presf-
dent Wilson and in accord with
opinions held by the new Executive.
Admiral Benson came into tne
open In support OF free Tolls
FOR coastwise vessels through the
Panama Canal and for the apro-
cation Of commercial treaties For.

against free tolls and also refuseo

gress In the new merchant meine

which prevent the imposition OF

carried in American vessels
Speculate on Appointment.
The stand of Admiral Benson
caused speculation as to whetner
president Harding will appoint him
as one Of the minority members oi
the Shipping Board. 1t Is consid-
cred a certainty that Admiral Ben
son will not be named as chairman
but he might be appointed as one
Of the three Democratic members.
Abrogation of commercial treaties
was provided by section 81 OF the
merchant marine act.
why anyone should seriously
lconsider jeopardizing the merchant
marine oct of 1920 is beyond me-
said Admiral Benson. THE en-.
Iforcement of sections rs, "a ant
other sections having in mind the
lupbuilding of our merchant marine
must be given a fair and square
ttest before anyone be allowed tt
smoke screen the issue.

'I believe that the lifting Of tn,
Panama Canal tolls in favor of oul
ships engaged in coastwise trade II
a mighty good thing and will &C
complish much"
Careful consideration will b
given to the resolution of the Ship
ping Board, requesting and direct
ing the International Mercantil,
Marine to amend its agreement will
the British government SO as to ex
empt American-flag vessels from
the provisions that the company will
adopt no policies injurious to Brit
ish trade or shipping.
Information to this effect wa
contained in a letter from Presiden
