Cancellation OF the allied war debts.
as recommended by Reginald Mcken-
ma. formerly Chancellor OF the Ex-
chequer. in a recent speech, would hit
the United~ States harder than any
other nation, the Manchester Guard
ian declared today. The Guardian Is
one OF the most influential papers In
the United Kingdom.
After reading Mr.. McKenna' s
speech, one begins to think that soon
there will be none left believing that
the huge international debts. owed by
one country TO another. will be paid.
even IL they could be paid" the
Guardian said. Two OF the biggest
annuitants are France and the United
States. But although the French rep
arations claims exceed all Europe 8
debts TO the United States, they do not
afford the same degree of security.
Moreover, France has large debts
owing Britain and America.
America Would Lose Most.
Britain owes just about as much
as she was entitled to receive. There
fore, cancellation OF the debts would
hit the United States great deal
harder than any other nation. IL is
not surprising that America is not
enthusiastic over the debt cancellation
proposal.
From an international economic
viewpoint complete cancellation OF all
international debts incurred since the
outbreak OF the war would be rough
and ready but fprobably "A satisfac tory
solution OF the economic ills.
sNo state, however, looks at the
matter in q purely disinterested light.
II Is understood that Mr.. McKenna is
comforting with treasury officials in
America about interest payments
upon the British debt, but he is care
full TO explain that he is making no
official recommendation for CORE
spending cancellation of this debt.
That is an Observation-Disclosures debt
to the United States-that we most
certainly will not try to escape.
Cancellation Later Suggested.
America is now engaged in funding
her European debts and has no i'm.
mediate intention of cancelling them.
But, IL later. In the interests of her
own trade she is compelled, as we are
likely to be compelled. to propose debt
cancellation. she would not think first
of the British debt.
1--WE hope. therefore, that the Gov.
ernment Is not delaying action, hopin Z
that the United States may be brought
into a general scheme. II IL would
pay us, as seems generally admitted.
to forego a large part OF, or the whole
OF our claims. there Is no reason for
delay. American opinion is far more
influenced by such act than any alb
stract reason, in favor of cancellation.
Would il not be better to act right
now upon our own responsibility and
In our own self-interest?'

International News Service.

The mine guard system of West
Virginia unquestionably constitutes
an abuse of power" but the princi-
pal cause of the labor warfare there
is that Governor Morgan has done
nothing to remedy the situation" II.
C. Ogden, publisher of the Wheeling,
West Virginia News, charged when
he appeared today before the Senate
committee investigating the West
Virginia labor situation.
Odgen said the only thing Governor
Morgan had done to better con.
ditions was to begin n reorganiza-
ton of the State militia, and that
this would not be completed before
another month. An effective state
constabulary would have preserved
order, he said. but the State legislat.
ure had failed to provide this.
Ogden q recommended some form
of labor court or board of arbitration
as the best means OF effecting a
permenant peace in. the mine zone.
William McKell, OF Fayette county,
West Virginia, mine operator de.
scribed alleged lawlessness on the
part of union mine workers. lie

lmpounding of Autos Violating
Regulations Suggested to
Curb Traffic Evils.

.Impounding Of automobiles which
violate the parking regulations, or the
establishment OF staggered parking
regulations, loomed today as the proba-
BILE solution of Washington's traffic
problem.
AS a result OF yesterdays hearing,
Commissioners Cuno II. Rudolph has
appointed a committee composed of
some of the men who testified at yes
terday's hearing to discuss the many
solutions which were offered and to
report to the Commissioners a plan
which in their opinion will solve the
problem.
The committee, which probably will
meet Tuesday, is composed Of William

johnson, Brig. Gen. Anthon Stephan,
A. J. Driscoll and Capt. Albert J. Head.
ley. head Of the traffic bureau of the
police department.
\ At yesterdays meeting the proposed
regulation which would bar parking
from every part OF the city was
severely criticized by every organiza-
ton and individual represented
Policeman Milton /. Smith, who
was formerly president of the Chauf-
feurs' Union in Washington, told the
commissioners that enforcement of
the present regulations was needed
more than the establishment of new
regulations. He said he had seen
men take notices which policemen had
left on their steering wheels and tear
them up and throw them In the street.
In answer to q question from Commits
sioner Rudolph, he said that when a
policeman takes an offending autoist
into court he has a hard time TO con-
vince the judge the autoist was vio-
lating the regulations.
He cited a case where an autoist
parked his machine too near a street
car sign and in order to avoid arrest,
the autoist moved the car sign several
feet away SO that his automobile
would not be technically violating the
law.
IL the impounding law is enacted,
automobiles which are parked in re-
stricted places will be towed to the
nearest police station and will be re-
leased upon payment of a fine.
Under the staggered" parking regu-
lation cars would be parked evsTy
twenty feet 40 that another machine
arriving to discharge or take on pas
sengers would have sufficient space to
do so. Immediately after deposlting
it's passengers the automobile would
have to move out.
The Board OF Commissioners TODAY
decided to hold a public hearing On
November I at 1870 o'clock to discuss
measures for traffic safety in WASH.
ington, considering both vehlcular and
pedestrian traffic.

LONDON. Oct. 2s.-rhe greatest
campaign OF hostility directed against
Premier Lloyd George since he took
the post OF Prime Minister in Decem-
Der, 1916. is under way today engi-
neered by a Tory bloc" in the House
OF Commons.
The unionists campaign against the
Premier is said TO have the follow
ing for it's chief objects:
I. Breaking down OF the Irish
peace conference and precipitat-
ing of a general election with Ire
land az the main issue;
2. Preventing the government
from giving independents TO Egypt;
8. Preventing the Premier from
attending the Washington confer
cnce in person.
The resolution proposed by forty
Cnionist members of Commons, cen
suring the Premier for the course
he has adopted towards Irish peace,
will be up for vote on Monday. IL
II is rejected, the Premier will ac'
cept the result as a vote of con-
fidence in his government and the
vote will be regarded as a mandate
of public approval.
III the resolution should be adopted,
Ii would mean a lack of confidence
In the Premier. The political ad-
herents of the Premier believe that
the resolution will be completely
showed under getting only a negligi-
BILE number of votes.
The Washington times., 1921-10-28

Washington this morning and was
officially apprised that the threatened
nationwide railroad strike had been
averted.
Other than the statement that he
was gratified over the action of the
brotherhood chiefs in recalling the
strike order. the President had no
comment to make. He arrived i'm
Washington at IL o'clock from his
three-day trip into the South, and
motored at once to the White House
for the regular Friday Cabinet meet
ing.
Just before the train reached the
Capital the President shook hands
with a number Of trainmen.
II am glad the strike is off," he
said TO them, and so are you"
They chorused their assent.
NThe President did not know that the
strike had been called off until he
was almost to Washington. He read
tho headlines in the newspapers, which
were put aboard the Presidential spe.
cial early this morning.
While highly gratified over the suc.
cess of the Railway Labor Board in
averting, temporarily at least, the
threatened tie-up. the President be.
lieves there is yet much to be done
before any solution" of the railway
problem is found.
The Labor Board has proved for tho
time being that 1t is not a futile
agency" but 1t was clearly indicated
by the President today that the AL.
ministration does not regard it is a
panacea for all the ills affecting the
general railroad situation.
The President is considerably con-
cerned over the status of the tax re-
vision bill in Congress, as 1t is involved
with the Administration plan OF rail-
way finance. He believes that the in
crease on the surtaxes to so per cent
from the original 30 per cent will have
the effect Of attracting much capital
away from railroad securities.

An extensive search is being made

The fact that he was In Buffalo

the Department OF Justice. or the
Iaw-enforcing agency OF the Federal
Government Back of the efforts OF
the Labor Board TO mediate the con-
troyersy were the preparations being
made by the Department OF Justice
at Washington for procedure against
the unions for violation OF the
Transportation act IL the whlkout re-
suited in serious interruption OF
traffic.
II is no secret that the fear OF
being "outlawed' by the Labor
Board and declared ineligible TO
share In the benefits Of future de-
cisions of the board, was a factor
given much consideration by the
brotherhoods.
Settlement of the controversy is
based upon the assurance by the
Labor Beard that no petitions by the
railroads for additional wage cuts
would be acted upon until all con;
troversies over rules governing work
ing ccrditions are adjusted. This
was coupled with the promise of the
railway executives that no wage re-
ductions would be put into effect
without due procedure before the
Labor Board.
Hours Of bitter debate ragged
around the sufficiency of these as
surances. The big question APP
parently was whether the men would
follow the advice OF their leaders
and consider assurances by the La
Dor Board and the railroads as sat
isfactory. This question Is still some
what of an issue today. but the
general belief is that the member
ship will accept the decision OF the
leaders and remain at work.

Hooper, chairman of the public
group Of the Labor Board. and
former Governor of Tennessee.
Hooper, believed to be acting as the
personal representative of President
Harding, assumed the leadership of
the boards efforts to avert the
strike.
Hoopers plea to the union leaders
won over w. G.. Lee, head of the
trainmen. and Lee thereafter led the
fight for peace at the union confer
ence. 1t was a stubborn fight, I.

The decision to call off the strike
came when the conductors and en-
gineers Joined with the trainmen.
The firemen held out tto,rthe last for
Il strike. The switchmen did not
vote since the action taken by the
trainmen, conductors and enginemen.
was sufficient under the rules of the

The official vote to call off the strike
was $50 in favor of resembling the
strike order and 81 against. The 81
comprise the executive council of the
firemen. .su
Il am very gratified that the
unions have taken the position not
to strike" said Hooper. "A general
strike at this time would have cost
the country more than the entire
civil war and would put the country
back toward its trip TO normalcy."
II shall get down on my knees and
thank God that the catastrophe has
been averted," declared Lee. II have
