absolutely no constructive work Of
any description whatever being

The difference between the
policy Of the Indian Bureau of
those early days and the vagrant
policy in vogue today was that
more interest was conferred in
constructive accomplishment and
less time consumed in securing big
appropriations for administrative

United States Does Not Intend
For Allies to Get It All

stated on highest authority today
that the American govel nment
does not intend TO allow the allies
10 take all that Germany can pay
in reparariCns and leave nothing
for the United States as recon-
pAnse for expenditures incurred in
the occupation Of the Rhincland.
This pronouncenent OF Ameri-
can governmental policy was oc-
eseffentd -byea press dispatch from
Paris TO the effect that allied gov
arnmcnts contemplated defccrins
payments 10 the Unit States for
thc Rhinciand occupation on the
ground that the American govern
mcnt had not ratified the treaty OF
Versailles.
Such a position on the part OF
the allies, it was stated. would be
indefensible as it could not be
maintained for Il moment. either
morally or legally. The further
statement was made that under the
terms Of the armisticc, the Amcri-
can forces remained in the Rhine
land at the expressed request OF
the allied governments and there
was an explicit agreement thar
this country should be reimbursed
for the cost Of keeping its troops
on the Rhine.

patton OF the various allied armies
