SOVIET LEADERS EN-
DORSE HORSE TRAINER

RIGA, April 28-Fred Keyes, Of
ElyriG, Ohio, Il trainer of blooded
horses, is perhaps the only for
eigner in Russia who told the So
Wet government just what he
thought of it and received a testi-
monial for his frankness. He
lately left Russia for home after
On absence of nine years.
Reyes went to Russia in 1913
under contract with Count Ilarion
Dashkov, Niceroy Of the Caucas-
US, and owner Of some Of the
most valuable race horses in the
world. He was to receive sal
AIRY of from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year as breeder and trainer of
the Counts horses and as manager
Of his 7G,000-acrc stock farm.
Despite the Counts death in
1915 and the revolution two years
later, keyes was reluctant to
leave Russia. He saw his savings
disappear, the farm taken over by
the SovietS, and famine approach
ing. but still he determined to
stick.
This resolution remained I'M
-haken for months. but the
turning point came when the gov
eminent suddenly ordered his
splendid trotting horses turned
over to the peasants for ordinary
farm work Reyes sought out the
highest Soviet officials, literally
took his life in his hands, and bit
terly alTaiened them for their ac-
ton Much to his surprise, they
heartily agreed with him, but re-
fused to cancel the order.
His love and consideration for
the horses made such a favorable
impression, however. that a few
day later, he was presented with
testimonial, written on official
Soviet paper and adorned with
several elaborate government
seals This and the old contract
with Count Dashkov is all keyes
has to show for his nine years in
Russia.

Therefore a settlement of the problems
Is all the more necessary because there

Great Britain disagrees regarding NJ.

in any case request for withdrawal

The British Government considers
that the Cannes conditions should be the
basis of the program. Great Britain
considers 1t necessary that Russia's war
debt should be reduced in part.
The private interests that must be
counted on TO open credits to the
Soviet, says the reply will need guar

them TO secure these guarantees. There
Is no question of "capitulation" by
Europe, the note continues, for the
statesmen taking part in the attempt to
restore Russia are quite capable OF pro-

In view of the British contention that
the preliminary conference at The Hague
shall only be routine preparation, the
French Government may abandon its
plan to have NJ. Benoist, the French
Minister at The Hague, reprecent France
and may follow the British example of
sending only experts who will act

LLOYD GEORGE EXPECTS
FRANCE TO COOPERATE
Believes British Note Makes
Hague Program Clear.

London, June IL.
The Earl of Balfour acting as Sec
retary of State for Foreign Affairs in
the illness of Marquis Curzon, made
public to-day the text of the British
reply to Premier Poincare's memo
randum outlining the French attitude
toward The Hague conference and
treating at length with the Anglo
French differences.
Premier Lloyd George, who saw the
memorandum before it was transmitted,
is credited with expressing the belief
that it brings the issues to be consid-
cred at The Hague into such clear re-
lief that 1t should assure the coopera-
tion of France In much closer FASH
ion than proved possible at Genoa. De-
spite the warmth Of some of the terms
in which the note fakes issue with
France, 1t contains many conciliatory
phrases.
The British reply gently chides Poin-
care for not being present at the
Genoa conference, asserting that his
note shows unfamiliarity with the de-
cisions taken and the discussions held
there.
The reply reminds Russia that her
needs are actually greater than all Of
Europe and american can supply and
that il she wants credits she will have
to show the experts at The Hague
means by which hard headed business
men on both sides of the A'lnntic can
be induced to lend. 1t expresses the
hope that The Hague conference will
settle the problems Of reconstruction.

concerned in order to end the scramble

Advertising Be Bought?

"A DRUGGIST told us the other
day of very attractive young
woman who came into his store
and asked for certain brand of
toilet article.
Unfortunately, the druggist
did not have in stock the brand
asked for. He offered another
brand of similar purpose.

the lovely customer. II never
haze used it, but | have read the
advertisements and notice that
they always speak highly Of it. " |.
The merchant scanned the pur-
chaser's face for some indication
that she was consciously satirical,
but there was no evidence Of
anything but genuine sincerity.
Perhaps this remark was not
due to innocence and naIvete.
She chad read the advertise
ments," which in these days
means that somebody who was
pretty good had written them;
and they spoke highly" of the
product, which is what we say

Paris, June IL.
A decided change in French opinion
can be expected as the result Of the
declination by the bankers committee
further to consider an international
loan for Germany under the present
conditions There already are signs
of this. The most significant is the
proposal by the Temps tonight, which
twentyfour hours after the bankers
conference came to an abrupt end
proposes that the Reparations Com
mission appoint an international COM
mittee at once to study the very thing
France was not willing to have the
bankers investigate, namely, Germany's
capacity to meet the present schedule
of payments. and involving also of
necessity the total present obligations.
This is somewhat in line with, the
suggestion made many months ago by
THE New YORK HERALD editorially, only
instead Of an absolutely neutral in
vestigating body the Temps suggests
that it be composed Of two representa-
tives of creditor nations and two from
each principal neutral country. one
representative from each to be Gov
ernment or financial official and the
other professional banker.
Seek First Hand Informal tfOn.
1t further proposes that this COM
mittee be sent Immediately to Ger
many and that all sources of informa-
ton be opened to it, after which the
committee should make a report to the
Preparations Commission on Germany's
capacity and the means whereby she
could be assisted to pay.
This would be serious business the
Temps says. "but serious business is
necessary il one would cure Europe
now"
That the sudden collapse of the bank
ers conference has fallen with crushing
force on France Is evident not only by
this apparent indication OF a change in
ligh French circles but also by the
gravity with which most papers Of the
Bloc National. on which Premier Poin-
VdTe uepeiius, view yesterdays develop
ments and the effect 1t will have on
Germany.
Already many German organs are in
sisting that Germany's recent acceptance
q: closer financial control by the Allies
and the agreement to discontinue the
printing of paper money were condi-
tional on the success of the international
loan. and tnat the failure Of the inter-
national loan project now entirely
changes the situation. 1t now seems
questionable whether the Control Com
mission. which Is about to start for Ber-
lin. will be permitted to exercise it's new
powers.
