POLICY | IS GIVEN SUPPORT
His Stand on German Problems
 Pleasing to Officials

Paris, May (Ry Associated Press) Premier Poincare's policy toward Germany was endorsed at a semi official meeting Of the members of the senatorial foreign relations committee now in Paris held last night in the office of the committees president, NJ. Doumergue. The latter told his col leagues the premier had assured him that If the occupation of the Ruhr region Of Germany became necessary he could accomplish 1t without calling up further troops.
 The ministers spent the entire morning session of the cabinet in studying the text Of the pact original ly proposed by Premier Lloyd George and brought 10 Paris by M. Barthou, head of the French delegation at Genoa.
 It was deemed necessary to make reservations regarding the rights Of France to make use of the preroga- tives conferred by the treaty of Yer sailles for the military occupation Of German territory as a penalty for non-fulfillment Of the treaty.
 With this reservation the pact was unanimously approved.
 The form in which the reservation will be presented at Genoa was ex- pected to be decided upon at another meeting of the cabinet this afternoon.
 Text Is Approved.
 The French cabinet this afternoon approved the text of the proposed aggression pact under consdera- ton at Genoa with the reservation that it must not be Interpreted as withdrawing from France any rights she had under treaties.
 Premier Poincare and M. Barthou already are engaged in negotiations with Premier Theunys as to the future attitude of the French and Belgian delegations at Genoa on Russian affairs. and an effort is being made to find a text for a reservation to the memorandum to Russia which the conference is likely to accept and that at the same time will satisfy the Belgians.
 The latter are understood here to fear strongly that concessions for property in Russia originally owned by Belgium and now nationalized by Russia will be traded.
 M. Barthou has engaged accommo- dations for his return to Genoa and will leave Paris at 11:40 o'clock to- morrow morning.

CHINESE PRESIDENT
 SEEKS TO END WAR
Action HaStened by Warnings Sent Him by Allies

Picking, May 4,--(By Associated made another effort today to end the hostilities between the armies of Gen, Chang Tso-Lin, military governor of Mukden, and Gen. Wu Flu, mili- tary leader of central China, who are fighting for the control of Picking. President Hsu, after a meeting of the cabinet, sent telegrams to both generals appealing to them to con Nder the welfare of China and end the civil war.
 The telegrams called attention to the three notes handed to the Chinese government by the foreign represen- tatives here, protesting against the fighting in the vicinity of Picking and warning of the serious consequences to China should foreigners suffer from the hostilties.
 Refers to Warnings.
 "As the diplomatic body has given three warnings to the government regarding the present war" the com munication read. the rival leaders should set aside their personal differ ences and strive to live up to the ex- pectations of the powers. As both leaders favor unification of the north and south they should suspend their war at once and discuss with the government the procedure of negotia- tions."
 The cabinet at it's session also dis cussed the financial situation of the eOyernment 1t was disclosed that the total resources of the Peking admin iHration are now about 150, 1000 silver dollars monthly, a sum scarcely suf- ficient, to pay the expenses of the city of Picking.
 Teachers Want Pay.
 The teachers of eight government universities appealed for payment of their back salaries due for many months. The government replied that the war had cut off its revenues and payment was impossible as long as the hostilities continued.
 The teachers decidel to continue work.
 Owing to the hostilites almost all the plans regarding China made at the Washington conference have been suspended. The Chinese official ap- pointed to take over the British naval base at Wei-Hai- Wei has suggested a postponement of the date of assump- tion, and the Chinese commission which was expected to meet a similar Japanese body to arrange for the res titution of Shantung has also deferred the meeting.

this solution. 1. e., of paying OF the

Now England. France and all the
other countries indebted to us will, of
course. set aside a sinking fund with
which. in the course of many years,
liquidate the principle of these bonds,
and while they are doing this they
will have paid to this government
many millions of dollars. We sec no
reason why this interest return csn-
not be applied to paying Off 4 per

Within ten years we have more

They seem to desire to concentrate an attack upon

charge the apparent slump to Republican legislative
and executive policies. Our friends make only com
parisons of 1921 with 1920 values and omit to show
the difference in cost.
The Republican administration in control Of Off

to make figures lie Ike its predecessor. The depart
meut Of commerce has not followed the tactics Of for
ner Secretary Redfield in the matter of ~window-dress

total export trade fell from $685. 900 900 in 1920
to S4,4s5 ,0oo, 900 in 1921, while imports declined
from s5,27S, 900, 900 TO 50, 500, 900, 900.
