on an agreement made under the
armistice and that evasion was a
mere technicality. Senator Underwood
agreed as to the technicality and then
said this in effect:
Nevertheless, payment rests In the
reparation commission The supreme
wal council-not to be COMPOUNDED
with the supreme council of the League
of Nations-was given charge of wind
ing up the war. We had a representa-
tive on that supreme council until af-
ter the defeat of the Versailles treaty.
That supreme council turned over to
the PREPARATION commission the ad-
min~istration of the funds to be col
lected from Germany to pay the troops
on the Rhine. The commission is now
handling these funds. The only way
we can get our share is TO sit in at the
reparation table"
Close observers ID Washington say
that the Presidents informal utter
ances indicate that be would look
with favor upon the appointment by
congress of an American representa-
tive on the allied PREPARATION COM
mission. He will not propose it, but
ne thinks congress should realize Its
necessity.

PRESIDENT HARDING has ordered
L all American troops in Germany
returned to the United States by July
/, the beginning of the 1923 fiscal year.
This was the American governments
first answer to the refusal OF the allied
reparation commission to pay its bill
for $241 600 1000 for the expense Of
United States troops on the Rhine up
to May l, 1921, out OF a billion gold
marks recently paid over by Germany.
The allies argue this way: The allies
are not bound by the Berlin treaty,
just as the United States is not bound
by the Versailles treaty. Americas
claim is based on the Berlin treaty.
Therefore the allies are not bound
to pay the American claim.
Secretary of State Hughes has made
the governments second answer. In
effect he has served notice ON the
allies that they cannot dodge pay
ment OF the Rhine debt by attempting
to hide behind a technicality which
doesn't exist. Identical communion
lions were placed Wednesday, March
81, by American ambassadors before
the governments of Great Britain,
France, Italy. Japan and Belgium.
Secretary Hughes insists hat the
right of the United States TO be paid
Is not only clearly equitable but free
from any technical objection. He sets
forth In detail this right, as established
Jointly under the terms OF the armis-
tlce, the treaty OF Versailles and the
treaty Of peace between the United
states and Germany. He says the
United Stntes will welcome any sug-
gestion from the niles for reasonable
adjustment. And In the meantime will
they please refrain from giving effect
to any arrangements for the distrIbu-
ton of German cash payments to the
exclusion of the claim Of the United
States.
Evidently the situation Is one which
requires an able secretary of state. II
apparently has many complications.
In debate In the senate Senator Lodge
said that our claim had nothing TO do
with either treaty. that II was based

President Harding, upon his return

10 the already high cost Of production

Contracting for wool in the West
