FRANCE TO INSIST
ON FULL PAYMENT
BY THE GERMANS
Premier BRAND Tells Chamber
of Deputies the Allies
Are United.

PARIS, Feb. S.-France still intends
to see that Germany is made to pay
her debt in full, If her economic con-
dition permits Of such payment. Pre-
mier BRAND informed the Chamber
Of Deputies to-day in presenting the
declaration or his ministry on the
separations question.
The decision OF the Supreme COun-
ell, NJ. BRAND explained. meant "the
payment Of Germany to the limit Of
her economic capacity, the principal
measure toward which Is the develop
ment OF her expectations"
The definite plan which the Allied
cOnferees had in view at their meet
ing was to verify and fix the exact
total of Germany's exports, and the
general result of the conference was
10 avoid a paradoNica1 situation in
which Germany's foreign trade would
thrive through deliveries Of her prod
ucts to the Allies, to the detriment OF
Allied industries.
The PremieTs statement was re-
oeived with great attention, but there
was absolute silence In the chamber
until the end, when slight applause
broke out. The siuing was sus-
pended TO enable NJ BRAND to read
the same declaration in the Senate.
The session was resumed an hour
later, but it was not expected that the
interpretations would be completed
and a vote reached on approval of the
declaration before tomorrow.
A comparative table Of taxation in
Germany and three of the Allied coun-
tries--Great Britain, France and
Italy-is used to show Germany's
ability TO bear a greater burden in
joint statement issued to-day by
the various delegations OF experts
who participated in the Brussels con-
ference.
The per capita taxes, except local,
charged, for the current fiscal year in
Germany are 500 marks, in France,
800 francs, in Italy 200 lire and in
Great Britain Eg2, the statement
says. On the basis Of yesterday
New York exchange rates the per
capita tax in dollars in Germany is
$780, in France $2S.Os, in Italy $7.34
and in Great Britain $83.87.
Tax receipts for the current year
in Germany amount to 1886, 900, ,OOC
marks; in France 15,47l, 100000 francs;
in italy 7,4OO, 900, 900 lire, and in Great
Britain Gl.O3J $50, 900.

to-day. samuel Untermyer, obvi-
ously suffering from the illness which
caused him to retire from the court

Mr.. Uutermyer showed early in his
address that he meant TO analyze the
testimony every bit as minutely as
did NMartin W. LAttleton in his four
and half hour argument for Brin-
dell. This made It seem likely that
he would finish late this afternoon,
after which Justice McAvoy would
charge the jury and commit the case
to them about dinner hour.

built up case out OF public prejudice
and clamUr for a scapcgoat for hous-

II am without any personal feeling
against this man here" Mr.. Inter

Asked about grlfters who followed

MGGRATH, ALASKA, JUNE P. 1921

Dealing directly with the League of Nations on the subject of mandates, ehe State Department, under President Wilson, addresseda note to the League Council, saies to be identical with that sent to the British Government last fafl, wherein @ protest of the San Reno conference was lodged.
 It is brought out in the note that the United States not only demands equal ity for all peoples, regardless of mem bership in the League. but that pro- test was made against the award of the isle of Nap, in the Pacific, to Japan, without consulting the wishes of the United States, an important factor in the war, in the matter. The able man. nef in which Secretary Colby framed 3he note received widespread com- mendation 'in4 this country from all statesmen, irrespective of party.
 Fhe treaty makers, in their mad grab for territory, appear to have &C., cepted literally the statement of Presi- dent Wilson that the United States ex- aected nothing from the war. But this Statement was made at time when Great Britain was vehemently attest ing that she wanted not one foot of ter ritory from the war, and France was reiterating, the remarks of herss'big brother" Since that time Great Brit: ain in one shape or another las grabbed evefone hundred billion dol fars' worth of the choicest German pos sessions. And the other nations have not been backward in securing their bite, until now Uncle Sam sees nothing left bat the core. In fact, the Allies went step farther, and gave Japan possession of the isle of Yap, a mere dot in the Pacific, but of the utmost importance to this country as cable base. It lies between the American possessions of Guam and the Philippine

in our coastal cities there is highly developed taste for sea food, but, like the ethics of Confucius. it is based on the worship of ancestors When the first settlers came to these shores few centuries ago they were used, to eating cod and haddock' and mackerela and a few other kinds, and they went, on eat ing them. Their descendants are eat ing them still. And the worst, of, iss> they won't eat anything else in the way of fish. The.
