THEY READ OUR NOTE.

At the Allies conference over n III
vision of Germany's PREPARATION pay
monts last week. note from the
United States government was read
in respect Of our share OF the fund
But that was all. The division OF the
fund in hand proceeded without any
allotment towards meeting the claim
OF the United States.
Well. what else could hsv. been en-
pectedT These allied representatives
spoke and acted for nations that arc
members Of the League Of Nations,
and thereby spoke with authority,
Our country was rank outsider
Had we taken membership In tho
League OF Nations. A. we should have
done. our representative would have
been at this conference. sitting at the
head OF the table, the most prominent
and influential representative VIVA,
he said would have been needed hum
bly, and willingly by the others. But
as It was, they had no inclination &c
give attention 10 our claim. Our gov
eminent is likely TO be inslstent, how
ever. and there may be interesting
developments.

MIR. HUGHES REASON.

In MIR. Hughes first argument for

says that questions have been omitted

can DO no real economic reconstrlic-
ton IN Europe he In presumably re-

sumahly. too, no In retorting upon

sence, much moro pro-F'rench than
anti French. IL rejects Genoa, which
the French win DO only too pleased 10
SEQ rejected. il refuses 10 have any
thing 10 do with tho Soviets. which is
precisely the French attitude. In
view OF these two very solid conces-
sions. France. we imagine. will not
shed very many bitter tears over the
reproof implied in Mr.. Hughes refer
ence TO German reparations and land
disarmament.
As TO German PREPARATIONS at Genoa,
II is no paradox TO argue that the
omission OF that problem would tend
TO make the Genoa conference less
| political and more economic. and not
the other way about. as Mr.. Hughes
asserts. German reparations. az "a
matter OF fact, are being revised with
out the Genoa conference. From the
Preparations Commission we have
heard Of an intention TO cut down Ger
many's annual cash payments from
the two billion marks stipulated In last
years London agreement 10 less than
half that amount. France will ac-
cept from the Preparation Commission
or from the Supreme Council revi-
sion of PREPARATION terms that 1t will
not accept from Genoa. For at
Genoa will be sitting Germany and
Russia; and France-it is fact to
be recognized whether we like IT or
not-will not have her former enemy
and her recreant ally pass Judgment
en- the merits OF her case.
1t Is precisely at Genoa that rep
arations would cease to be an eco.
nomic question and become a political
question, with such simple little prob.
lens as the drastic revision Of the
Versailles Treaty. the boundaries OF

made good showing during its two

that It has saved to tho workers of

of the Hardwick Gazette, who, in last
weeks issue of his paper, announced
his candidacy for town representative
in a Enthusiastically modest state
ment. Mr.. Appolt believes, among
other things, that ''the state tax
should be limited, and state expenses
curtailed accordingly" So he is going
before the voters of Hardwick with
request for support in doing his part
toward carrying out that program. His
pablicity work on the newspaper and
his long connection with the business
life of Hardwick make Publisher APP

GETTING JOBS FOR EX-sERvIcE
MEN


1t is fine purpose to which the
American Legion has devoted itself
that of finding employment for former
service men who are at present out
of work. As we understand the piir-
pose, the plan is for each individual
post Of the Legion to devote itself
to the study of its local situation, to
find out those ex-service men who are
out of employment and then to seek
places where those men can be put to
work. Probably the proportion of for
mer service men out of employment is
no greater than it is in any other
classification of people; indeed, it
would be surprising if the proportion
is not less, because of the disposition
on the part of employers to put their

former employees, back from the serv-
ice, into their old positions and to give
preference TO other veterans of United
States service as they had vacancies TO
fill. However it goes without saying
that very large number Of ex-seryice
men are out of employment at the
present time in spite of the DISPOSE.
