BALKS At DEMAND
FOR GOLD TRANSFER
FINANCIAL INTERESTS IN HER.
LIN URGE GOVERNMENT TO
REJECT PROPORTION.
R~eparation Commlssion's Demand
That German Gold Reserve Be
Transferred to Occupied Zone
Meets With Resistance.

Berlin.-While the German cabinet
has not yet indicated the nature OF
It's reply to the ~reparation commits
siOn's demand that the German gold
reserve be transferred to some point
In the occupied zone, President Hav-
enstein Of the r~eichsbank and the fl
nanclal writer's summary reject the
proposition.
They take the ground that the gold
is not only the property Of q private
bank but that its removal from Ber-
lin under the conditions named would
result In the collapse of Germany cur
rency at home and abroad.
The experts assert that such a pro-
ceeding would work havoc with Ger
nan economic interests and promptly
result In an advance of all commodi-
ties to fabulous prices.
'The impossible Is impossible, that
10 all there Is to It." said Herr Hav-
enstein.
The Norddeutche Allgemeine Eel
sung, owned by Hugo Steinnes, says
that once the gold reserve is outside
the confines of the reichsbank's
vaults and placed under entente con-
troll In the occupied zone. les ultimate
seizure would then become a simple
matter.
This newspaper estimates the vol
m Of German currency held abroad
at 20.000.OO0,000 marks, and that for
eign demands ON Germany Of all kinds
total 0 5.0OO,00O,000 marks. The value
OF the present gold reserve of 1000
100000 marks Is computed as repre-
senting Is per cent Of Germany's cur
rent issue.

work to solve the question Of jap
anese immigration.
United efforts by the states In deal.

AMERICA To STAND
UPON HER RIGHTS
HUGHES STRONGLY DISSENTs
FROM JAPAN's CLAIMS AS
TO ISLAND OF zap.
A. No One Had Authority to Cede
the Rights Of United States In Is
land, Government Will Not Rec
oenixs Validity Of Mandate.

washington. - The American and
japanese governments have adopted
equally firm attitudes as to the status
of the island OF zap. Diplomatic ex-
changes are continuing. but those to
date were made public on April IL in
Washington and Toxic. They consist
OF two memoranda and three formal
notes.
Japan In its last communication, re-
celvsd late In the Wilson admlnlstra-
ton, Insisted IL had been awarded a
mandate for the island by the supreme
council. May 7. 1919. and that 1t could
NOT agree with the American conten-
ton that, irrespective of any award Of
mandate, other nations should have
free access to the island for cables.
In replying. Secretary Hughes on
April o stated that the United States
could not be bound BY action either
Of the supreme council or of the league
Of nations, and that, as no one had
been authorised 90 surrender or ceds"
the right Of the United States In the
island. the American government could
not recognise the ALLEGATION CT the is
land or the velidity of the mandate.

notes. Exchanges between the four
governments are understood 10 be un-
der way with a view TO reaching an
accord.
Meantime. however. France. In Q
preliminary reply, stated that the
matter 10 one for the supreme council
to consider In May and that When Il
comes up she will approach II with a
view to finding a solution giving every
satisfaction to the United States.
The viewpoint of the Harding ad-
ministration, as explained Monday. Is
that the question OF whether the su-
preme council did actually award the
Island to Japan on May 7 Is Of Sec
ondary importance.
The important point at issue. 1t is
emphasized, Is recognition by the
allied governments of the principle laid
down by Mr.. Hughss-that the United
States, as a principal allied aud as
ISOLATED power. has an equal right In
the former German colonies, and that
those rights cannot be disposed Of
without consent OF the American gov
eminent.

TO BALLOT
ON HOME RULE ACT
.a,r,su PREMIER ISSUES CALL
FOR ELECTION TO BE r1-o
ON THIRD OF MAY.
Measure Described by King George
the Fruit Of Thirty Years OF Cease
isss Controversy VIII DO
Opposed by Slim Fslners.

London.-steps to bring into oper-
.,ion ths Irish act, providing for home
rule In the island, were taken on April
10 by the British government. This
INV. which was described by KIM
George as "ths fruit Of thirty years OF
osaselsss controversy" was passed By
parliament on December Il, last, ana
received royal assent a short time
later. Sim Fein leaders In Ireland
have been outspoken In their opposi-
ton to the measure.
Elections Of members OF the north
ern and the southern Irish parlia-
msuts will be held on May B, under
present plans. 1t seemed probable the
southern sections OF Ireland would
ignore the provisions of the law.
Under the caption, The Appointed
Day" the London Times In a edi-
toraal declares the day for launching
the Irish act Seems but another mile
stone upon the path of the govern
ment's failure"
Ire day might easily acquire a DIFF
ferent significance than failure, ac-
cording 10 the Times. "if only the cab
met would realize that any small ad-
vantage which prosecution OF their
Irish scheme could gain them has long
since been scored and that II would
be Infinitely better TO seize the oppor-
tunity Of peace still within grasp
than TO face the fresh humiliations
that await them II they hold on their
present course"
Premier Lloyd George defended the
governments policy In Ireland and
cited the American civil war as pro-
viding an exact parallel for the stua-
ton there involving the fundamental
principle OF union or secession, In his
reply made on Tuesday TO the recent
memorial sen him By nine Anglican
bishops and the heads OF the princi-
pal nonconformist churches In Great
Britain.

BY the terms of the federal water

water powers of Maine are in danger of

we'll may be that the only method of
preventing this is to levy a tax upon hy-

the commission to work out satiSfac-

would give the people the opportunity tc
decide for themselves whether or not the
