Cursor, Is Optimistic
And London Is RelieDed
Special cable to The Tribuns

Copyright. 1872, New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, Oct. 8.--"The chances are
that we may escape what at least for
a moment appeared a considerable
risk" said Lord Curzon tonight upon
his return from Paris. He was re-
ferring to the Paris agreement for
action In the Near East crisis, upon
which he will make full report to
the cabinet tomorrow.
The fact that Lord Chrzon takes d
most optimistic view of the situation
wss indicated by the Sabbath calm
which prevailed in official quarters,
most of the ministers being absent in
the country. He described the Paris
agreement as "a reasonable arrange
ment," stressing the point that sat-
isfactory solution could be reached
only by the cooperation of Great Bri-
tain, France and Italy. He said that
at present the situation was In the
hands Of the men on the spot In the
Near East.
1t is conceded in otFiciai circles that
the tension has been greatly relieved,
but at the same time 1t Is admitted that
some clements OF danger are still to
be removed. One Of the outstanding
points to be considered is the strength

be permitted to operate irf Thrace.
Details Of this kind may delay an
agreement at the Mudania conferences,
but It is believed that he broad terms
OF the Paris agreement will be accept
able to the kemalists.
The suggestion of Premier Poincars
that there should be Two conferences
and that Russia should be invited to
the second, is not quite agreeable to
the British, who would prefer that
Russia be taken in st the start.
The report circulated early to-day
that Lord Curzon had sent an ultima
tum 20 Lloyd George that he would
resign If the Paris agreement proved
unacceptable TO the Cabinet, was char
acterized tonight as "a wicked fabyi-
cation At the same time it is pointed
out that this is the second time within
q fortnight Lord Curzon has ironed
out dangerous situation and the re-
suits have been an increased pre- stire
for the Foreign Office with d corre-
spending slump IN the popularity of

Reformers Declare
sA .ilSas--
District System Attacked as
L Unfair in Campaign for
il Proportional Basis In the
Il: B o a r d of Aldermen

ia group Of men and women whose
nAmes have been identified with better
gpvernment movements will present to
tM Charter Revision Commission to-
day proposal for the election of
Aldermen on the basis OF proportional
representation.
3SThe. proposal points out that the
nspsent system has resulted in the
Virtual denial of the Democrat prin-
eiple Of majority rule and h distortion
Yk the representative system OF gov
dEnment.
ss,The facts enumerated show that
ssnce 1899, when the greater city was
asnsoIidated, as per cen. of the voters
i've not been represented in the Board
% Aldermen by a single member of
their OWL choosing and that in eight
X the twelve elections since 1899,
fAmmaay casting a minority vote, has
elected q majority OF aldermen. The
Most recent example of this was in
lsa7 when Tammany, casting oniy AZ
per cent of the votes, elected 66 per
can't of the Aldermen. The way the
pEesent system works out to the ad
ykntage of minoritics is best known
IN the vote last year, when the So
sSRlists cast 10 per cent of tha vote
hut Did not gain single seat in the
board. =
,ssThe proposal, which is based on the
thsory that membership in local Iegis-
itures should be determined nv tho
fhsFective voting strength OF polit;cal
parties and not by artificial district
tnas, will be presented in cooperation
Wtth the local branch of the National
Proportional Representation League.
4 The report accompanying the pro-
nessl shows that the majority in the
Board of Aldermen since consolidation
Has invariably been elected by less
tAan third Of the total vote.
e Last years election Is cited as
Eypical of the unstable equilibrium.
aAen 1919 votes were cast, result
lAg in the election of fifty-two Demo-
ats, twelve Republicans and one
!!sEsion 81! member. A change of 1852
kEiected votes, or 2sa per cent of the

sPARIS, Oct. 8.--In unveiling monu-
ment to-day in the village Of yau-
ccuieurs, Premier Poincare threw down
aatchallenge TO that part of British
opinion represented in Bonar Laws
letter to "The London Times" which
warned France that her pro-Turk
policy was menaeing future co-opera-
ticn with Great Britain in other
European affairs. The preraier's ad-
dress was devoted largely to n spirited
defense of the stand taken by France
ia the Near East crisis.
.sThe pren,ier's plain talk accentuated
the fear that the French-British en-
tente, irrespective of conditions in the
Near-East, cannot endure much longer,
if, indeed, it has not already been
smashed. In answering Bonar Law.
Poincare evidently interpreted the let
ter TO "The London Times as having
been inspired by Downing Street.
LAS France is resolved to have her
own treaty rights respected he said,
.xhe is also resolved not to. be drawn
declared fatty that the Near East
policy adopted by France would stand,
even IL England withdrew cooperation
in other European problems.
The premier declared that the ef-
forts made by France during the last
few days saved Great Britain from
DISASTROUS consequences when that
country was walking on the edge of
q precipice in the Near East. He said
that France would not sacrifice the
great interests she possessed in the
Near East. lie enumerated the many
enterprises which had been built up
in. the Orient by French nationals, and
said it was the purpose of the govern
ment to guard them.
He added that the liberty Sc the
waters which join the Blalaa Sea and
the Mediterranean was indispensable
tes the whole civilized world. France,
tHs premier declared, woI!d have a
voice in regulating the conditions
under which these waters are to be
Held and used.
Adverting to some reasons for the
stand taken by France in the Near
East, he referred to a telegram he had
received from the Sultan of Morocco
ip which the satisfaction of the
Moslem world was expressed over the
Victories Of the Turks in Asia-Minor.
self we denied Eastern Thrace to Tur-
key the premier said, .and ignored

sRegarding the promise made by for

Il Senator Pomerene* is good ex-
ample of this forgetfulness. In Janu~
ary. 1921, when the country waa reap
ing the full effect Of eight years OF
Democratic administration, he made Il
speech In the Senate depIorin9 wide-
spread unemployment in Ohio. stating
that at least 40 per cent Of working
men we're idle, bread lines were formed
IN some Of the industrial centers and
general distress existed among wage
earners. Ohio, in common with the
rest Of the country, has had nineteen
months OF Republican administration.
Mr. Pomerene is trying to forget what
he said in January, 1871, because to re re-
call 1T would only emphasize the con-
trast between unemployment then and
the tremendous industrial activity Of
to-day.
