Rhine BILL
MAY FORCE
new POLICY
United States Membership
on Allied Reparations
Commission Likely.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, March IA. - The
United States government may lind
itself compelled by circumstances
TO become an official member of the
reparations commission.
The fact that, under the present
state OF affairs, European govern
ments can get together and dispose
of Germany's assets without regard
10 the rights or claims of the Unit
ed States is giving concern in Off
cial quarters. Up to now America
has been able to drift along with
an unofficial observer, r. W. Boy
den, who has been presenting the
views of the United States careful
ly and discreetly.
Congress alone can give the ex-
ecutive permission to send a rep
resentatIve to participa- e officially
in the discussions a1d actions of
the reparations commission. This
correspondent can state positive
ly that the American government
in presenting it's claim for $241,-
100000 of the German reparatlon
payments to go toward the eX-
penses Of the American army of
occupation did not have in mind
one way or the other the question
of membership on the reparations
commission. No preconceived plan
has been adopted which seeks to
demonstrate that America had bet
ter be a member of the reparations
commission. The government is
really drifting along letting devel-
opments speak for themselves.
On one occasion not long ago
President Harding publicly ex-
pressed his regret that the United
States was not officially represent
ed on the reparations commission,
because it might have voice in
the controversy over German pay
ments.
Entitled to Membership.
The claim for expenses of the
American army of occupation is a
second development. In the abb
sence of President Harding officials
here cannot very well say whether
the executive would agree to ask
congress its views on American
membership on the reparation COM
mission. Certainly joint resolu-
ton would have to be adopted be-
fore the executive would be free
TO act. The reparation commission,
Of course, has nothing 10 do with
the League of Nations. 1t is a sep
arate and distinct institution. 1t
was created by the Versailles
treaty and when the United States
made a separate peace with Ger
many the identical clauses of the
Versailles treaty which relate to
reparations were taken teXtually
and made a part of the American
German treaty. So the United
States is entitled to membership in
the commission whenever it wishes
to exercise the right. The senate,
however, interposed reservation
that the consent of congress must
he secured before a representative
is sent to any international COM
mission under the treaty. This ac-
ton has been referred to by Presi-
dent Harding as tying his hands"
but it has been accepted as the best
that could be done with congress
under the circumstances.
Now, however, developments are
coming to the surface which indi-
cate that American rights cannot
as well be safeguarded by unoffi-

Make Changes


The convention Of county superin-

ed themselves in favor of a law to
regulate the placing of children in the
schools on a mental basis rather than
the present system based on age, ac-
cording to Superintendent E. C. Of
futt, who returned from jefferson
City Saturday.
At this time all children are placed
on an age basis which works a severe
hardship on many Of the pupils as it
is impossible to set a just standard
of grades that will accommodate
them. Some children are said to be
held back while some of advanced
years should be placed in separate
classes SO they may receive individual
attention
