Germany Looks to Cannes
To Tighten Preparations

BERLIN. Jan. 5.-Germsny is ex-
ercising every hope that the supreme
allied meeting at Cannes come to
her relief before January Is.
On that date is due the next repa-
rations payment. which Germany has
notified the allies she will be unable
to pay.
II no agreement is reached at
Cannes before then, the Wirth gov
eminent fears the reparations COM
mission will declare Germany has
broken her pledges and will make
this the occasion for imposing new
sanctions and spelling Germ a n
chances Tor receiving help.
Advices from Paris indicate that
the reparations commission is dis
satisfied with Germany's verbal re-
ply explaining her inability to meet
payments. The reply lacks distinct
ness. the commissioners say. and they
have instructed DR.. Fischer, the
German representative. to obtain from
his government a concise written
statement.
The French apparently are dis
pleased with DR.. Walter Rathenau's
intention to appear before the meet
ing at Cannes. and this displeasure
may result in his remaining at Paris
or returning to Berlin.

URGES CONFERENCE
UTILIZE NATIONS
LEACUEMACHINERY
Lord Robert Cecil Points
To Need of Permanent
Secretariat.

LONDON. Jan. 5.-The answcr Of
the league OF nations TO the sEs-
gestions growing out OF the Wash
ington conference taat President
Harding would call further confer
ences either for perpetuating the
disarmament movement or for
launching an association Of nations.
Is seen in an address delivered to-
night by the leagues most promi-
nent spokesman, Lord Robert Cecil.
Recalling II. q. Wells criticism
OF the league and Wells preference
for project OF successive confer
ences," Cecil said that IL IL is de-
sired to supplement the leagues ac-
tivitics with another set OF confer
ences he will not object.
Praises Lesgse secr~tariat.
However, Lord Robert observed
Il think il will be found that some
kind of secretariat will be neces-
sary to give continuity to their de-
liberations. for without continuit-
little effective work can be done. 3.
this anticipation is correct II would
be a pity TO create a new interna-
tional secretariat when an efficient
body already exists at Geneva"
The league spokesman pointec
out that II Wells is right in regard
ing the Washington conference as
a more efficient instrument OF peace
than the league council II is be-
cause the latter Is not properly
constituted and lacks the necessar,
authority, because suffering a "seri-
Gus bIemIsh" from the absence OF
~ hi Nj
States. Germany and Russia.
DepIeres .sabotage.-
Many imperfeCtions might be
found in the Washington confer
ence." Lord Robert declared. but
you'll find no intelligent league
member who is. therefore. tempted
to hamper its operations. That
would be a despicsble form Of in o..
ternational sabotage. We have AL
ways desired tho assistance of the
United States in the cause of peace.
]: she finds she IL unable or unwill-
ing to give IL to us in what we con-
slider its most effective form. We
will welcome It in whatever way il
comes. only we ask others TO do
likewise"
incidentally referring to the dis
satisfaction with the present peace.
Lord Robert said: Until We eN-
Terienced the treaty OF Versailles
il was popularity supposed that the
treaty OF Vienna had reached the
h:Gh-water mark OF injustice and
futility."
The address was delivered at a
meeting of the Geographical Asso-
citation at Birkbeck College.

URGED
FOR SENATORSHIP
Johnstown Business Men Are
Asked to Boost Candidacy
For Crows Place.

YOUNGSTOWN. Pa. Jan. 81
Leonard ReploSle, in a telegram
to the Johnstown Chamber of
Commerce late Thursday. urged
that organization to boost the can
didscy of Charles NJ. Schwab
chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the Bethlehem Steel Corl
poration. for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator James
E. Crow who is now i'll in a
Pittsburgh hospital.
Mr.. Reploge's telegram came in
answer to a message sent to Gov.
Sproul by the local commerce
Replogle to succeed Senator PEN
rose.
Local political leaders believe IT
will be best to urge the governor
to name a man from the eastern
part of the State to succeed Pen
rose. and then place the name of
Schwab in nomination as a sue
cessor to Crow. and the plan is
meeting with the approval of
Cambria business men. 1t is be-
lieved that dir. Schwab. with his
broad knowledge of business and
industry, would prove valuable
man in the Senate and would help
to retrieve the prestige Pennsyl-
vania lost through the deaths Of
Senator Penrose and Knox.
Whether Schwab will consent to
be a candidate is not known. but
local Republican leaders believe
he would look favorsbly upon the
proposition.

TIMES DEMAND
u. S. LEAD.--HULL
Democratic Chairman De.
clares Andrew Jackson
Would See New Order.

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-American
leadership in world economic affairs
is unacceptable. and necessary to
avoid stagnation and panic condi-
tion at home. according to Cordell
Hull. chairman OF the Democratic
National Committee.
In addressing the Tennessee So
ciety at its Jackson Day dinner
here. Chairman Hull drew a COM
parison between affairs in Andrew
Jackson's day and contemporary
events to the end that Gen. Jack
son would have to readjust himself
TO the astounding changes and
growth in the economic. social and
moral affairs OF both the nation and
the world during the past eighty
years"
Jackson could readily do this.
Hull declared, although many lead
ing citizens and statesmen of to-
day have been wholly unable thus
far to recognize the tremendous
growth and expansion OF America
even during the past eight years"
Hereafter. this nation must rec
oGnize that world economic condi-
lions have a direct effect on our
domestic business" Hull said. The
failure of this and other nations
to cooperate. mainly through pri-
waite financial and business agen-
cies. to give Central and Eastern
Europe such timely and moral as
sistance as was feasible during
1919 and 1920. measurably contrib
uted to the commercial and indus
trial breakdown which occurred
there in the fore. part Of 1920.
America and other OF the stronger
nations must now furnish even a
greater measure OF economic CO.
operation before Europe can get
back on her feet.
1T is most earnestly hoped that
soon fair and friendly trade rela-
lions among all nations may be
promoted. An international trade
agreement congress should be held
at the earliest date"

While some cursory discussion OF

agreement that the foreign loan
funding bill and the bonus bill
would be pushed. a more definite
schedule for the legislation pending
was left to another and larger Con-
p-essional representation to be
called to the White House tomor-
rev night.
Bloc rs m Obstacle.
The big obstacle is admittedly
the established strength of the
farm bloc, gaining members in both
Houses of Congress. and showing
no signs of diminishing militancy.
Senator cspper's weekly newspa-
per. published for the farming in
terests. made it clear in a recent
issue that the farm bloc Is on the

however. that forcefully exerted
leadership by the Presiden., suct
as would break the delays. brought
by the Republicans working at
cross purposes. would give the az
ricultural representatives VIVA

bloc organization.
1t is likely that the President will
seek to drive. this fact home to the
