FRENCH REPLY ON
MANDATES Lines UP
WITH STAND Of us.

Washington. April 12-(By The
Associated Press)-The French gov
eminent, in replying to Secretary
Hughes notes to the four great pow
ers regarding mandates, is under
stood to have expressed substantial
agreement with the American gov
ernment's contention that the United
States has surrendered none of its
rights in the former German over
seas possessions through it's failure
to become a party to the treaty of
Versailles.
The French reply was received yes
terday, but whether it will be made
public has not yet been disclosed. 1t
was described today in official cir
Giles as formal response from the
French foreign Office. The reply
from Great Britain also received yes
terday, was no more than an ac-
of the receipt of the
American communication, it was
learned today. This serves to
strengthen the opinion in some dip
lomatic circles that Great Britain
would exchange views with Japan
before making a final response.
France, in it's reply to Mr.. Hughes,
is understood to have reiterated its
expression of the hope that the zap
mandate question may be settled by
direct negotiation between the Unit
ed States and Japan without involv-
ing that country as principal to the
controversy.
Since the despatch of the American
notes, state department officials
have made it clear that there is no
disposition to maintain 4 closed
mind with regard to the application
of the principle laid down by Mr..
Hughes. 1t has been indicated that
any feasible plan approved by the
allied governments will receive most
careful consideration.

Is Washington, April 12.-President
Harding's principal recommendations
to Congress in his first annual adj
dress delivered today included the
following:
Foreign RELATIONSHIP separate
peace treaties with Central Powers
on the assumption alone that these
would be adequate.
'The wiser course would seem to
be to engage under the ex-
listing treaty, assuming of course that
this can be satisfactorily accomplish
ed by such explicit reservations and
notifications as will secure our alb
mitments and safeguard all our es-
sential interests. No help
full society of nations can be founded
on justice and committed to peace
until the covenants re- establishing
peace are sealed by the nations which
were at war.
Observation-Disclosures of inter-
nal taxes and revision or repeal "of
those taxes which have become I'M
productive and are so artificial and
burdensome as to defeat their own
purpose"
Tariff-Instant tariff enactment,
emergency in character and under
stood by our people that it is for the
emergency only
Railroads-Eficient operation at
with no oh
can bear. Railway rates
and costs of operation must be re-
duced." "The remaining
obstacles which are the heritage of
capitalistic exploitation must be re-
moved and labor must join manage
ment in understanding that the pub
lie which pays is the public to be
served and simple justice is the right
and will continue to be the right of
all the people,"
Good roads-The. Strengthening of
laws governing Federal aid
Merchant marine-Private mon
opolies tending to prevent the devel-
opent of needed facilities should be
prohibited. Government owned facil-
tiles wherever possible without I'M
duly interfering with private enter

made available for general usages.
The United States means to establish
and maintain a great Merchant Mar
