ATTACKED IN LONDON,
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, December 17.-Germany's
contention that she is unable to pay
in full the reparations installments
due in January and February was at
tackled by several London newspapers
today.
The Morning Post attributed Ger
many's alleged embarrassment to q
determination to be driven to the edge
of bankruptcy, and charged the Ger
man government with shirking applf
cation of the only remedy. which. it
said. was the taxation Of German in
dustries.
1t accused Premier Lloyd George
of favoring Germany at the expense
of France, and ascribed his attitude
to the subtle, sinister influence of
the Russian soviet government, which
has been steadily employed in Ger
many's interests and now is obviously
directing the policy of the British
government"
The Daily Mail asserted that Ger
many had plenty Of money to spend
upon herself. as shown by the fact
that she was subsidizing Industries,
railroads and civil aviation. Let her
commander the foreign Investments
of German millionaires," 1t said.
The Daily Telegraph said that
should it be proved that Germany
was honestly unable to pay it would
appear that the problem must be
solved internationally in conjunction
with the t'iitsd States.

.F|L|P|N0S DEMAND
. SELF-GOvERNMENT
NationaIists Insist Upon Full
independence From

Ry the Associated Press.

By the ASSOcldteu tress.
MANILA, p. l., December 15.-Abso-
lutte independence for the Philippines
through complete severance of politi-
cal relations with the United States is
demanded in the platform of the ma
cionalista party adopted by its con-
vention here today.
The platform, favors English as the
official language of the Philippines.
The independence plank was strong
ly supported by Manuel Quezon, presi-
dent of the Philippine senate, who
declared in a speech Tuesday that the
Philippines do not want or need
American protection.
The time has come" he said "for
the Filipino people through the ma
cionalista party to make a IclA,r, frank
and unequivocal exr-~a9~n on the
question of indepe..aence-comp
and absolute independence. We do not
want or need her protection. 1t is
unworthy of people who clamor
for Independence to ask help or pro-
lection or compassion. There are no
enemies to fear. no ambitions nations
waiting to grab us. Independence of
the Philippines will be recognized not
only by Europe. but also by the ma
tions of the orient"
The party took issue with the recent
recommendation of Secretary of War
Weeks and Gov. Gen. Wood to the
legislature that the provincial gov
ernment get out of business and stay
out" The convention adopted a reso-
luton declaring in favor of govern
ment participation in business, CIV
ing as the reason for this policy the
hesitancy of private capital to enter
into the business field here. A plank
favoring immediate granting of suf-
frage to women was modified to favor
the extension when the opportune
time comes"

FRENCH TO HOLD OUT FOR SHIPS
DESPITE CRY OF OTHER POWERS
Paris Delegates Realize Fully That if
Conference Fails Blame Will Be Put on
Them and Nation May Be Isolated

tention of building capital ships
Since the conference is dealing in alb
stractions, France claims. In the alb
stract. the right to third place among
the navies Of the world. If, however.
Britain. Japan and the United States
would be willing to let the subject
drop. France, too. would consent,
there being really no urgent naval
problem requiring solution in Europe.
All Believe Selves Juatified.
Other countries have their own
viewpoints regarding this French
stand. Britain and Italy. for example.
are violently antasonistic. and from
their respective positions. this antag-
onism is fully justified. But France,
too. considers itself to be fully juSti-
fled. How the case would be judged
before some divine court cannot be
predicated. In actual fact. the French
think they are right, and it is with
this French attitude that the confer
ence will now have to deal. To en-
deavor to explain it is therefore
worth while.
The story begins at the Paris peace
conference. France there made GER
and the United States. in return for
which. the league of nations was to
protect it, the allies were to stand
together to collect reparations from
Germany. and Britain and the United
States were in addition to give
France a guarantee of aid in case of
unprovoked aggression. The treaty
was negotiated and signed in COM
mon. But the United States rejected
the treaty, refused to join the league,
made a separate peace with Germany
and refused to vote the guarantee
pact. Making the American refusal
an excuse, Britain also refused. with
the result that. much against their
will, the French have felt obliged to
maintain a large and costly army in
order to protect themselves.

They realize that if the conference

They expect public opinion in Britain,

ACTION ON POLICE
BEPOSTPONED
Filling of Vacancies to Await
Passing of Christ
mas,

The Commissioners will not fill the
position of superintendent of police
or make any other changes in the per-
the Christmas holidays, Commissioner
oyster announced today.
The Commissioner has had before
him for several days the report of the
board of surgeons on the physical
condition of all men in the police and
fire departments of sixty years or
mere, who were examined to deter
laine If any Of them should be retired.
Hearings at the Capitol on the esti-
mates have prevented the Commis-
sioner from studying the report. 1t is
understood the report divides the vet
ersn officials into three classes. A, B
and C, according to their physical con-
dltion and experience.
1t is understood that one reason for
postponing action on the report of the
doctors is that the Commissioners do
not wish to retire any one on the eve
Of Christmas.
Persons in touch with police affairs
believe the naming of a superin-
tendent is being delayed SO that all
of the changes that are to be made
in the department might be ordered
simultaneously.
The list of fifty-nine policemen who
were examined by the physicians in
cludes one inspector and three cap
tains. The group of eleven firemen
who went before the surgeons in
cludes several chiefs. The Commits
sioner has not intimated what the
recommendations of the doctors were
on these high officials.
Will Decide ON Merits.
Commissioner Oyster has stated q
number Of times that the mere fact
that q man has reached sixty does not
mean that he should be retired. The
Commissioners intend to decide the
individual cases on their merits.
Weighing the physical condition of the
men together with the nature of the
duties they perform.
The Civil Service Commission re-
Gently held an examination for lieu
tenants of police to determine their
qualifications for promotion to cap
tains in the event of retirements
There is already one vacancy caused
by the retirement of Capt. Thomas
Judge of the tenth precinct.
Inspector Daniel Sullivan Will con-
tinue as acting superintendent of po-
lice until an appointment Is made.
