AMERICA
DEMAND IS
SURPRISE
French P e rp l ex e d
Over Reported Claim
Made for Expenses of
Force On Rhine

Paris, March 11.-(By Associ'
ated Press. 1.-The demand by the
United States for reimbursement
to the extent of $241, 100000 for
the expenses of its forces in the
Rhineland before any reparations
are paid has provoked surprise
and perplexity in French official
circles. There Is also some point
ed comment on several morning
newspapers.
A French semi official state
ment says that the American
claim comes exactly at the mo-
ment when the accord based on
the Cannes project was about to be
realized, and that 1t tends to de-
stroy the whole system Of repara-
tions 80 laboriously elaborated by
allied experts.
The Echo De Paris declares 1t is
undoubtedly too late to give the
United States It's share of the one
billion gold marks paid by Ger
many on August 80 last, as Bel
gium and England already have
received their allotments. The
allies certinly cannot refuse to
give the United States It's due, the
newspaper adds, but this ques-
tion must be determined--of what
utility Is an American army on
the Rhine il 1t isn't in political
cooperation with the allied gov
ernments?"
The allied finance ministers
met today to consider the situa-
tion created by the memorandum
handed to the reparation commits
sion yesterday by Roland w. Boy
den, the representative of the
United States with the commits
sion, asking the payment Of the
$241, 100000.
The memorandum, the text of
which as made public, states that
the cost of the American army of
occupation up to May l, 1921, was
about $241, 100000. 1t sets forth
that the allied governments, with
the exception perhaps Of Great
Britain had received payment for
their armies Of occupation, and
that probably the British a'so
were covered by a preceding ar
rangement. Therefore, the mem
orandum states "the United States
counts upon obtaining integral
payment for the cost to May 1.
with interest, before any part of
the German payments are distri-
buted for reparations or other OBJ
jects."

Federal Radio
Control Urged

Washington, March 11.-Allo-
cation of 20 wave lengths among
the various classes of wireless
telephone senders and government
control of establishment of all
commercial wireless transmitting
telephone stations are recommend
ed by the three committees of the
government radio conference made
public today.
The recommendation do not
provide for government control of
receiving stations, which Secre-
tary Hoover has said have in
creased into the hundreds Of thou
sands in the last few months. Am
ateur transmitting stations under
the committees proposals, would
be given exclusive use of wave
length from $50 to 200 meters
and share with technical and
training schools wave lengths of
from 200 to 275 meters.
other recommendation are that
wave lengths below 6000 meters
should in general way be re-
served for radio telephone serv-
ice, but that those wave lengths
which has become fixed in serv-
ice for telegraph service within
this range, such as S. o. S. sig
nails, shall be retained" The COM
mittee's report expresses "the
hope and expectation that the
radio telephone may ultimately
keep the whole range from zero to
6000 meters"

Declare Hope
of Averting
Strike Vain

Indianapolis, Ind, March H.
Hope Of nation wide coal strike
being avoided by the govern.
ment's appeal for the operators
and miners to meet in a wage
conference seemed to have van
ished today among officials of the
United Mine Workers of America
on account of the continued refus-
al of some operators to meet with
the miners to negotiate an inter-
|state wage agreement
Union officials however re-
Trained from any announcement
on their future plans but it was
indicated that the policy commit
tee might be called into session
before April l, to deal with all
questions relating to the prospect
i've strike. The personnel Of the
committee is virtually completed
by various union districts author
izing their officers to become
members of the committee. In ad-
dition, the committee includes the
international officials and the
members of the executive board,
which now is in session here.
The union officials were opti-
mistic that public opinion would
be with them in the controversy
with the mine owners and were
hopeful that the operators refus-
al of the government appeal would
be accepted as a defiant attitude
on the part of the operators.

Unless Picking is unexpectedly
~ stubborn, the Shantung question
should be settled very shortly, ena-
bling the arms conference to adjourn
sine die. Through the efforts Of Sec
rotary Hughes and Mr.. Balfour a
compromise plan was arranged last
week and cabled to Tokyo and Picking
for acceptance. Under this proposal
japan gives up her demand that the
railway be paid for through loan by
Japanese bankers, and in return China
agrees to the retention of japanese
traffic manager and accountant during
the period of payment. The road Is
to be purchased by China with treas
ury notes payable at option five to
fifteen years hence. Japan's accept
ance Of this plan was believed GER
tain, and President Harding himself
appealed TO Minister SEE TO induce
Picking to approve Of the agreement
The committee on far eastern af-
fairs concluded It's consideration Of
the Siberian question, and japan is
left upon her honor to remove her
troops from that country as soon as
the re-establlshment of political sta
bility makes it safe to do so. Through
Baron Shldehara she gave a virtual
pledge to do this, and 1t was recorded
in the minutes of the meeting. After
fully explaining the present retention
of japanese troops in Siberia, the
baron concluded:
Nothing is further from the
thought OF the Japanese government
than to take advantage of the present
helpless condition OF Russia to prose-
cute selfish designs.
1.-THE military occupation of the Rus
sian province Of Sakhalin Is only
temporary measure.

ton is authorized to declare that 1t is

fourth would amount TO a guarantee

as hostile to the project. Probably

plan Of Chairman Fordney to finance
the bonus from the sale Of the re-
funded foreign war debts. All pay
ments of principal and interest on those
debts, he said, should go toward retire
ment of Liberty bonds and payment
of interest on them. Notwithstanding
Mr.. Melons warning, the majority
leaders in congress decided that a
bonus bill should originate In the
house and be pressed to passage at
once. Fordney still clings to his for
eign debt plan, but MELONS talk led
to a revival of the proposed sales
tax.
