Would Listen to Germany.

Let Germany herself be heard in
the fixation of this indemnity. When
it is fixed let her say how she can best
pay 1t. On reasonable agreed policy
of this sort it would not be difficult to
raise European or a world loan that
would provide an immediate credit for
starting the industrial machine.
1t is only by her labor that Germany
can pay. And her labor must be free
and insired with nope. Europe cannot
recover while the shadow of Marshal
Foch lies across il like menace. Ger
many cannot recover while her mill
lizards are poured out TO maintain for
eign armies on her soil. England cam
not recover while her best customer
is pauperized to maintain lie. France
cannot recover until some statesman
takes his life IN his hand and tells her
the plain truth.
The war must stop. the Supreme
Council must go and the Treaty OF
Versailles must be reshaped by the
consent of Europe. We want peace or
we will perish.

bare. SO we have enacted a solemn
sham, decreeing that for forty two
years the Allies shall stand over Ger
many with bayonets while that coun-
try pours out miraculous stream of
gold into the pockets of her economic
jailers.
How long is this enormous fiction
to poison the world? Nothing can be
done toward setting Europe on her
legs until this fiction is torn to pieces.
And sooner or later IL will be torn to
pieces, for there are ominous signs in
England that the public is getting tired
of shams. They are beginning to lose
faith in indemnities and are demand
ing trade. In this respect their situa-
ton is widely different from that of
the French, who are the most self
contained nation in Europe. The ICES
ent paralysis, therefore, is working IN
finitely greater havoc III England than
in France, and it is clear that unless
rapid and drastic change of policy
is effected England can no longer sup
port the millions who are dependent
on overseas commerce.
Sees Bankruptcy in Policy.
These bedrock facts are already
shaping public opinion for clear cut
with the insane policy that is bring
ing victor and Vanquished alike into
bankruptcy The amazing proceedings
in Paris last week stimulated this
public opinion to some extent. 1t has
made even the man in the street real
ize at last that there is no hope to be
expected from the politicians. 1t is
seen that they are engaged in mere
game of make believe which is carried
on to avoid unpleasant consequences
for themselves. The demand is growing
everywhere for an entirely new policy.
There must be an end to the pretence
of keeping Germany in chains for gen.
erations. Europe must be reconciled
and set to work in freedom and in
hope.
This does not mean that Germany is
to be let off free But it does mean
that she is to be treated not as an
eternal criminal. to be crushed but
as a debtor who is to be enabled to
live and to work to pay her debts.
Let the amount of her indemnity be
fixed, not over a preposterous term OF
years but in a lump sum arrived at
not by politicians with their eyes on
votes, but by actuaries with their eyes
on facts.

England Favors Preliminary Meeting Late in Summer

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-(By The Associatd Press )-InfOrmal negotia- tions over the date for the disarma- ment conference were begun today with the American governmnt sug- gesting selection of a time not later than Armistice Day, November II.
 Definite replies are to be received, but unofficial Information seems to indicat that some of the other powers will prefer a later date and that sev- eral diplomatic exchanges may be ne- cessary before unanimous agree ment is reached
 The question of a meeting time was discussed by Secretary Hughes today with the British and Japanese ambas- sadors and the Italian charge here. China and France are to be consulted in the near future. though it is em- phasized that there will be no disposi- tisn to press for a decision until each party to the conference can study the situation
 The British ambassador, Sir Auck- land Geddes, is understood to have suggested that date later than No vember II be selected unless a pre- liminary conference is to be held at which the dominion prmirs can be present. Such a preliminary meeting will be possible, in the view of the British government, late this summer when the premiers, now in London, are on their way home.
 No formal comment was available from American officials regarding such a proposal or concerning the statement emanating from official cir cles in London today that a prelimin- ary meeting would be held within six weeks in Canada or in some American city other than Washington.
 The general impression here was that this government hoped confident ly to overcome the British objections without a separate conference.

 By vote of 10 to ?, the senate az ricultural committee reported a new substitute for the Norris, Kellogg, and other agricultural credits bills. The new measure, presented by Senator McNary. Republican, Oregon, had the general backing of Democrats as well as Republicans, and leaders said pas sage of the substitute was assured.
 Besides adopting the plan for fur nishing Of agricultural credits by the war finance corporation, the commit tee bill would increase the authorized bond issue to $2.000,000,000, and also authorize direct loans to producers and foreign governments.
 Senator Norris, Republican, Nebras- -ka, today spoke again in support of his original bill and in bitter criticism of the substitute plan, which he, with Senator Ladd, Republican, North Da- kota, had opposed in committee. The former declared that all sins" charg- ed against the Norris bill applied with equal force to the substitute which, he said, proposed a 'rake-off'' for bankers and would increase farmers interest burdens.
 Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis cOnsin, declared the new substitute was in the real interest of the far mer." He deplored the temper" he said Senator Norris had displayed, adding that Norris apeared mot in his usual, normal frame of mind"

 by Finance Committee

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The ad- ministration bill to give the treasury department blanket authority to fund the S10,G00,000. 900 of allied de%ts and interest was reported favorably to- day by the senate finance commit tee. The vote was 9 to ,, Senator Williams, Democrat, Mississippi, vot- ing with the Republicans. and Sena- tor LaFollette. Republican. Wiscon- sin, with the Democrats.

 There was no recorded opposition to the amendment but further efforts to revive the bill were defeated.
 Tn contrast to the action of the committee. negotiations were report ed proceeding between Republican Hnd Democratic committee members toward an agreement under which the authority granted the secretary of the treasury would be restricted.
 Such a change was considered as likely to bring to the support of the bin many senators who declare their intention to oppose it in its present form
 Prior to the committees action, Secretary Mellon presented a mem- orandum, called for by the commit tee, in which he declared that in view of the action of his predeces- sors. "this government is committed to the pOstponement of the interest for two or three years, and to the spreading over subsequent years of the payment of the postponed inter est installments.

FAIR TREATMENT FOR U. ]. SHIPS WILL BE INSURED
Aggressive Methods Adopted by Shipping Board Fol
 lowing Discrimination

WASHINGTON. July 2S-CBy The Associated Press.) Agfressive measures have been adopted by the shipping board to insure fair treat ment of American merchant ships in the award of trading privileges in for eign ports.
 Although put partially revealed by negotiations now in progress, the boards policy is understood to rest on the proposition that other 1atinas must give every proper opportunity to ships which fly the Stars ana Stripes or else run the risk of en- countering retaliatory measures plac- ed within the perogative of the board by the new shipping act.
 There is every indication as reveal ed by officials that American gov ernment will stand behind such a pro- gram, and every confidence that it will succeed, without serious Opposi- tion. in placing the American mer- chant marine on a proper level in in- ternational trade.
 A situation which has brought the boards policy into prominence exIcts ~sN NSy Pet A4 AOANSAO'A NN contracts for the carriage of Egyp- tian cotton to the United Kingdom, and the United States. In the view of board officials, British shipping in terests have taken an unreasonable attitude toward admission of Anari- can vessels to that trade and StroD 2 representations have been made which confidently are expected to have the desired result.
 There is no disposition here to re- gard the Alexandria problem as con- stituting a serious disagreement, but there is a feeling that it will set q significant precedent.
 Negotiations which have led up to it really are concerned with the broad CT subject of admission of the ship ping boards representatives. into the conference of shipping interests which control such awards as that at Alexandria, the general recognition oi l CCONTINUEE ON PAGE FOUR)
