CONFERS ON TREATY
German Officials Postpone
Statement on Russia.

BERLIN, May 27 (Associated Press).
--Leonid Krassine, the Soviet Minister
of Foreign Trade and Commerce, who is
hero with his secretary, began imme-
diately on his arrival series Of con-
ferences with German officials. The en-
tire Russian contingent Is surrounding
itself in mystery, and German officials
are postponing any statement relative
to the Russian situation pending clari-
fication Of relations with Soviet Russia.
Paris dispatches declaring that the
United States favors an international
financial conference has created tre-
mendous interest in Berlin, while Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges vote of confidence
In the British House OF Commons has
revived the Importance of tho Hague
conference in the minds Of Germans.
Germany seems convinced that Com
munism has proved a failure m Russia.
where, on vast scale In the great
laboratory OF experiment. 1t has had a
trial during several years.
The Germans In general doubt the
advent Of a new Russian revolution
against Bolshevism. believing that the
masses of the people are either so in
different or despairing that there is
little hope for any kind of revolutionary
movement.
Reports from the star which DR..
Fridtjof Nansen. Norwegian director for

eral. It might be desirable to present
the matter to the State Department.
This office was advised that the
matter had been submitted to the State
Department and was instructed to re-
lease the vessel on bond pending in-
structions from the Secretary II State.
After the matter thus had been sub
mitted to the Attorney-General. Col.
Fielder came In several times. and, !
believe, went to Washington once.
"I- found on investigation that the
vessel could not be released on bond.
according 10 the instructions of the
Attorney General, without first filing a
libel against her. Accordingly q libel
was filed. bat before bond could be
given the Attorney General wrote. en-
closing a copy of a letter from the
Secretary or State expressing the opin-
ion that In view Of all the circum-
stances the State. Department was of
the opinion that since the vessel was
came into New York in distress, it
would be undesirable to institute pro-
ceedings for its forfeiture. Accordingly
the libel was dismissed and the vessel
released. The British Consul-General
furnished a captain who took the vessel
10 Nassau, from which place proper
certificates were received that the cargo
of 800 cases of liquor was duly landed
there"
Assistant United States Attorney Mat
tuck, who IS in charge OF the prosecu-
ton of the case against Mr.. Hart and
others indicted in connection with pro-
hibition frauds. said the reason why
this case and numerous others had not
gone to trial was because there were
not enough judges in this district as
signed to try criminal cases.

CLEMENCEAU ASKS
JUSTICE FOR FRANCE
Won't Permit Vanquished to
Become More Powerful
Than Victors.
NOT ABANDONING ALLIES
But Says They Must Not Sacri-
flee French Interests
for Others.

PARIS, May 81 (Associated Press).--
France does not wish to abandon hei
allies, but she will not permit the van
Quished to become more powerful than
the viotors," NJ. Clemenceau, Frances
War Premier, declared in an impromptu
speech delivered tonight at banquet
after the unveiling of a. monument al
Nantes to the teachers and students who
fell in the war. sni
I'VE will not abandon our allies on
the contrary. we desire to remain united
with them," M. Clemenceau continued
However. we demand a little justice In
our behalf. We shall not forget the
assistance which was given. nor shall
we forget our duty. We ask that on
their side they understand. that they
do not accuse us OF ulterior motives"
"They must not sacrifice our interests
for the interests OF others. We want to
do all that is possible to make peace. but
there is q limit beyond which we will
not go. We did not wish the war. but
We did wish peace. However. we are
capable Of making war. Nations are
like their people. For the moment we
are friendly, but unfortunately we have
not ended wars.
I'VE seek no additions to-day, but
neither do we desire q dishonorable
peace. prefer TO see my country la
an honorable position. even though that
honor be very dearly bought"
Clemenceau asserted that the very
people that were accusing France OF a
desire to begin war again had said In
1914 that France was not able to fight
and win war. In his address at
Nantes Clemenceau did not mention
politics.
The former Premier declared: II am
leaving this life we are parting for
ever, to die. you to live and to make
q future for France. Good-by. my dear
friends. Thank you for listening to me.
Forget me, roll up your sleeves and
make your destiny
He summarized the meaning of life
In the following terms: Life is not a
party. 1t is duty, a battle to found
family, to make 1t live. to make 1t
prosper--a battle for those whom it is
ones duty to love, a battle for courage,
for nobility of character. for gen.
erosity.'
For those who do not bear arms he
had this message: There is a courage
as great as that Of the soldier who dies
for his country. and that is civic cour-
age. for which there is seldom any
glory"

FIELDER SAYS HE PAID
$4,000 TO DAUGHERTY
LdWyer Declares Morse Failed
to Turn Over Fee.

Thomas b. Fielder OF 165 Broadway.
who aided Charles w. Morse in regain
ing his freedom. said yesterday the
$4,000 mentioned by Attorney-Gcne
Daugherty In his letter to Senator Wat
son (Ind.), which was read Friday In
the Senate, was paid by him to Mr.
Daugherty out OF his own personal funds
Mr.. Fielder said Mr.. Daugherty was to
have been paid retaining fee, but this
money never was paid over by Mr..
Morse
AS to the statement read into the
Record by Senator Watson (Ga.) as
information he had received from this
city, which was to the effect that Mr..
Fielder appeared for Harold NJ Hart,
former director Of prohibition. and others
in case growing out OF the alleged
illegal release of a large amount of
liquor. which appeared to have been
dropped. the lawyer said the case Is on
the calendar OF tho United States Dis
trict Court The Inference drawn from
Senator Watsons remarks was the case
had been dropped because of the in
fluence Mr.. Fielder had at Washington.
Mr.. Fielder said he never had tried to
influence Mr.. Daugherty and asserted n
belief that the Attorney-General was
unaware of the Hart charges.
With the authority of United States
Attorney Hayward, Major John Holley
Clark, Jr.. chief assistant. yesterday
made the following statement with ref
erence to the mention by Senator Wat
son (Ga.) OF the case Of the ship J. B.
Young, which was made during the Sem
ator's attack on the methods Of the At.
torney-General's office:
"The j. B. Young. n small British
schooner. was found in distress by pilot
boat just outside New York Harbor on
November J.. 1921. Her captain had
deserted her crew know nothing of navi-
cation and she was short of food and
water. She had 800 cases of liquor on
board. the balance of cargo of 1.300
cases The rest had been landed partly
BY the John Gully in Brooklyn and
partly by small boats, which were not
apprehended.
There was no proof OF unloading
within twelve miles OF the coast, and
the only grounds for libeling the ves-
sci and cargo were the failure to mani
fest the cargo and the transportation
of liquor In New York Harbor. In
view OF the fact the vessel came In In
distress, both Of these causes OF for
feiture we're extremely doubtful II
was, in fact. the weakest case of a rum
runner we have had.
"rhe British Consul-General. before
Col. Fielder appeared in the case, wrote
to the Collector demanding that the
vessels papers be turned over to him,
and offering. In view OF the fact the
vessel came in in distress. to furnish a
reliable officer to navigate the vessel
to her destination, Nassau. The As

Press).-Although 1t would be techni-
cally an error to describe as negotia-
tons the exchanges which have taken
place between France and America con-
cerning the approaching conference of
experts on Russia at The Hague. It was
stated on authority to-day that each

ground in their attitude toward the

Nothing Is known here officially OF
a reported decision Of the French Gov
ernTnent to remain away from the
Hague conference. But In informed cir
cles here it Is said that such course
might be followed by France unless
there is a change in the American at
