FRENCH PRESS. RESENTS J. 5. INTERVENTION
Claim Suggested Plan Would Be Exclusively in Interest of Germany-Skepti-
 cism Predominates in
 the Paris Newspapers
Ky Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 1.-The reported plan of the United States for the re- mobilization of Europe seem con- ceived exclusively in the interest of Germany" says the Temps in an edi- torial today that reflects the view point of majority of the French newspapers. Skepticism and resent ment predominate in t:lese second day reflections on tn situation, but there are few words of welcome for the proposition, as in the case of the opposition newspaper, B'0euvre, which expresses pleasure over the interest of tn United States, "even if it has no immediate practical re- suits
 The Temps says the plan looks as if it had been drafted by the Germans rather than the Americans, and sug- gests that the Germans after elah- orating an agreement with American bankers make proposition to the al lies for the payment of separations and then the allies will see if they can make the concessions that are asked.
 Severe Criticism
 Nj Bainville In La Liberte is the most severe critic of the reported project "If the United States se- riously wished to save Europe from financial chaos" he says, "the first care should be to annul the clalm they have against the allies He sees in what he calls Washingtons move simply an effort to prevent oc- cupation of the Ruhr by France and asks, sIs this the only result of Glenn enceau's tour?"
 The writer adds that the money the Americans would lend will be asked for some day, just as they al ready demand the billions they ad- yanced the allies for a common war
 Pertinax in the Echo de Paris says the conditions made by America "are exactly the reverse of what is nec- assary to prevent Germany from em- ploying the new strength she would get to avoid paying reparation. He suggests that the Americans could render great aid by allowing France to seize German capital in America which, he declares, Is sufficient to pay reparations for two years. avoiding a moratorium"

BOTH SIDES PLEASED


 WASHINGTON, Dee. 1T.--President Harding's, conference with governors on prohibition enforcement will take place tomorrow Ut the White House. Sixteen state executives have signi- fled their intention of attending, sew eral having already arrived from White Sulphur Springs. w. Va, where the fourteenth annual governors conference was held last week.
 The original plan of the President contemplated meeting of governors here in January for a discussion of prohibition problems but the proxim- ity of a large group of them at the conference was one of the factors which caused the date to be ad- vanced.
 In administrative circles. it is be- lieved, however, that another confer ence will be necessary after January l. as many of the governors will be out of office after the first of the year. and a new group will be charged with cooperating in the en- forcement of the prohibition law.
 President Harding, in reaching a decision regarding tomorrow's con- ference. it was said, is confronted with this problep, but it was thought desirable to obtain the views of those who have had experience in dealing with the prohibition question during the past few years so as to make it available for the new state execu- lives if another conference is held.
 lxiIby to Attend
 Those who have indicated they will attend the conference are: Governors Snroul Pennsylvania; Allen, Kansas {: Denney, Delaware; Ritchie. Mary land; Kilby, Alabama; Hyde, Mis- souri; Davis, Idaho; Campbell, Ari- zona: McKelvie, Nebraska; Trinkle, Virginia; McCray, Indiana: Cox, Mas sachusetts; Olcott, Oregon; Hardness, Vermont; Baxter, Maine, and Preus. ! Minnesota.
 Wayne B. Wheeler. general counsel for the Anti-Saloon league, and w. H. Stayton, executive head of the Asso- citation Against the Prohibition Amendment. issued statements today commenting the calling of the con- ference. MT. Wheeler said:
 ".rhe United States must check lawlessness or be engulfed by it." and MT. Stayton saidNhi association agreed with the Presidents decla- ration in his last message to Con- gress that crime is running amuck in this country"
 .sThe governors law enforcement conference is most opportune." MT. Wheeler's statement said. The or ganized attack on the eighteenth amendment. and the laws to enforce it is an affront to law abiding citi- zens.
 Worthy Example Set
 'sThe governors of the states have already in many instances set a worthy example by calling upon pub lie officials to enforce the law and private citizens to obey the law"
 Mir Stayton said his association agreed that "it is high time to call in the governors. becausessit is the federal law which has broken down. Before the adoption of the eighteenth amendment. he said. most of the states had their individual prohibit tion laws which were4sfully enforced without scandal"
 The orgy of crime and disrespect for law was not known at that time, MT. Stayton said.s adding that he hoped the conference would have the effect of spointing to the inevitable adoption of the plan of our organiza- ton of turning the entire matter of enforcement back to the governors ip the states. where it belongs"

STATE T0 APPEAL ROM DECISION ON ALBERTv|LLE CASE
Davis Will Take Cotton Ship ping Case to Supreme Court, Following Ver-
 dict Saturday
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Montgomery. Ala. Dec, IT

Harwell D. Davis, attorney gen. eral. will appeal to the United States supreme court at once from a de- cision of three federal judges at New Orleans Saturday prohibiting the Alabama public service commission from requiring the Nashville. Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railroad to ac- cept cotton for shipment when ten dered by persons at Albertyille. Mar shall county.
 Following "A temporary restraining order two weeks ago, issued by Judge Henry b. Clayton here the three fed- eral judges issued temporary fn- junction which will remain in effect until fe rmal hearing on the merits of the railroads petition.
 The public service commission held that the railroad must accept cotton for shipment when tendered and must issue bills of lading for the ship ments, the responsibility of the ratl- road for the safety cf the cotton starting with the issuance of the bills of lading.
 Railroads Fight Plea
 The railroad fought the plea of the cotton shippers, contending that 1t had refused shipments because it could not ODIdln CdTb III WHICH tO transport the cotton, and that the car shortage was not brought about by any action of the railroad. IL contended that the car shortage is general and that the enforcement Of an order requiring 1t to accept cot ton fer transportation would be an interference with Interstate commerce and an interference with the powers and duties of the Interstate commerce commission.
 The decision of the federal judges in this case will be important to other towns in Alabama. Complaints regarding the failure of the railro ads to transport commodities have been general and had the commissions or der in this case been approved by the federal court other orders probably would have been issued.
 Attorney General Davis said the temporary injunction would be made permanent at once by Judge Henry D. Clayton. thus affordng the state a basis for an immediate appeal to the United States supreme court Federal judges who granted the tenn porary injunction following the New Orleans hearing were Judge R. w.. Walker of the federal circuit court of appeals. Judge N. P. Bryan of Jacksonville. Fla, and Judge Clayton.

WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington. ID. C.. Dec. Ii


 That the prohibition law is .vio- lated in every state of the union, gov ernors arriving here tonight to attend the luncheon to be served tomorrow by the President, freely admitted.
 There was no disagreement ex- pressed with the Presidents state ment contained in his speech before Congrss some days ago, that the more or less open violation of the law threatened the safety of the re- public.
 The forecast tonight is that the President and the governors tomor- row afternoon will promulgate a proclamation calling on the people to uphold the constitution of the United States.
 Will Not Be Lectured
 There is no longer entertained an idea that the President will presume to read a lecture to the governors of New York, New Jersey and other states where the prohibition law has never been obseryed to any degree of near perfection.
 As to whether or not call in the name of the President and the gov ernors for the people to rally to the constitution and uphold it, will have permanent salutary effect there was doubt expressed tonight. Some gov ernors when the topic was mentioned simply smiled.
 Gov. Thomas F. Kilby of Alabama rasched Washington tonight. He de- elined to issue a statement for pub lication, although he indicated that later he would have something to
