LONDON, Sept. 1T.-Despite the col
lapse of the German Belgian negotia-
tions, the reparations problem has held
little interest for Britain during the
the stock market and business gener-
ally have been picking up after the
summer period Of dullness.
The financial event of the week was
the announcement of the conclusion of
the agreement between Leslie Urqu-
hart, acting for the Russo -Asiatic Con-
solidated, and the Soviet government,
whereby the British concern has it's old
properties restored for exploitation on
ninety-nine year concession. While
this agreement is not yet officially rat
fled by Moscow, there is every reason
to believe it will stand.
The important feature Of the agree
ment is that the Soviet binds itself to
lend financial assistance in gold rubles
toward the rehabilitation of the Con-
solfdated's properties. statement re-

Indications of the Improvement in
trade conditions continue to accumulate
slowly, although it is contended that
the new American tariff when effective
will heavily restrict British exports to
the United States. Incidentally, last
week saw the unusual procedure
adopted of loading the fast passenger
steamer Mauretania with costly freight
destined for the United States before
higher tariffs became operative. At
least one special train was rushed
from the north of England to catch the
ship.
The colonies, however, seem to be
purchasing more freely in British mar
kets. This is especially true of
Canada and Australia. It is stated
that credits under the export credits

To Preserve Washington Palm Groves

CONGRESS has graciously allowed
- the American people to be pre-
sented with a new national monu-
ment. 1t is In Riverside county, Cali
fornia, and its purpose is to preserve
some fine specimens of the rare Wash
lngton palm. Congress says the peo-
pie may have 1t when the donors fur
nish the money to pay the Indians
for the land. The senate has passed
house bill 1888. Senator Johnson of
California called up the bill and said {:
"The monument is desired in order
to preserve what is probably the only
remaining large groves of natural
wild Washington palms in the United
States. Three adjoining canyons,
Palm, Murray and Andreas, each con-
tanning an extensive grove of these
desert palms, are embraced within the
area of the proposed monument.
Many other specimens of desert fora
of major scientific interest are also
to be found there. The bill has the
approval OF the Department of the
Interior, including the bureau of In
dian affairs. 1t safeguards the In
dians and 1t costs the government
nothing at ALL"

paid taxes on his black dog or his
white dog, reports the Indianapolis
News. The letter follows:

German government itself will be first
used to pay American claims, and only
when that is exhausted will the prop
erty of German subjects be used to
satisfy American claims.
Claims of American citizens against
Germany have been filed with the State
department to the amount of nearly
$1,000,000.000. 1t is estimated that
just claims amount to at least $780,
100000.
Mr.. Underwood said that the Ger
man government, committing its ma
tionals had consented that congress
should determine the matter. More
than a year had passed by since our
treaty of peace with Germany was
signed and he thought the time had
come when congress should act.

plan, at least so far as interest is
concerned, have been disappointing, it
is frankly admitted In administration
circles.
The prospect is extremely uncer-
tain. 1t is no longer a secret that the
various nations are jockeylng with
each other for advantageous positions
in the refundlng negotiations.
That is the situation that the for
eign debt refunding commission, made
up of Secretary of State Hughes, Sec.
retary of the Treasury Mellon, Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover Senator
Smoot, Utah, and Representative
Burton, Ohio, finds itself in several
months after its creation.
1t Is understood here that Great
Britain, which has announced her in
tention to pay her obligations to the
United States, looks to France to set
tie her obligations to England, and
France in turn looks to Germany to
make good on her reparatiOns before
she pays Great Britain. Furthermore
England expects to settle on as good
terms as any of the creditors of the
United States.
1t is now seriously doubted whether
anything will be done for months to
come unless Uncle Sam gets busy.

Claims of Americans Against Germany

A BILL to provide for the payment
of American claims against Ger
many has been introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Underwood (Ala.),
Democratic leader.
IT Is provided that American claims
shall be adjudlcated by commission,
and unless otherwise satisfied paid
out of the German property in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Versailles treaty and the separate
treaty of peace between the United
States and Germany.
The bill creates a commission to be
known as the enemy property claims

''PoliticaI" Prisoners

for all the ST political" prisoners
now in federal penitentlaries. They
brought with them a petition contain
ing 100000 signatures pleading for
the release of the prisoners.
Paul f. Brissenden of Columbia uni

planned to the President that no in
dividual pardons were sought and that
only general amnesty was desired.

cause of their membership In the l.

In the event Of II national emergency
declared by congress"
So far as the defense of the conti-
mental United States is concerned, the
law evidently contemplates as min
imum requirement for security that
the country should be definitely organ
lied to prevent an invasion in force at
the outbreak Of hostilities.
The military experts say that before
the World war such definite and COM
prehens.ve plan was impracticable.
Our military resources were too linn
tied and there Was no legal sanction
for the development of such system.
Since the World war, with the large
number of war-trained officers avail
able, with the initiation of a system
for the training of younger men ul-
timately to replace them, with more
adequate sources of military equip
ment and material, and with a settled
legal sanction for the development and
training of our traditional citizen army
in time of peace, the general staff has
been able to prepare definite plans for
what has aptly been termed "a Ma
tional Position in Readiness" Under
this plan, the military organizations
required to secure critical landing
places on the coast line and favorable
lines of advance upon the land from
tiers can be definitely formed and pre-
pared.
The Colorado statesman., 1922-08-19
Defense Is Assured.

pared.
Defense Is Assured.
With such an initial organization as
sured, the additional military units re
quired for the full prosecution of a
serious war can be mobillzed at once
and brought to full strength without
disturbance or interruption. With the
territory thus protected against land
ings in force at the start, and with
the machinery for further military ex-
pansion fully organized, the fleet Will
be free to deal with the hostile naval
forces without concern as to possible
invasion.
General Pershing says he Is pleased
to report that the plans for the ma
tional Position in Readiness" have
reached a stage where their prac'
ticability is assured. With 1S divisions
and appropriate auXillaries of the
National Guard, supplemented by the
regular army prepared for necessary
expansion, ami with certain special
units formed in the organized reserves,
the country would be able to cover the
coasts and land frontiers against Sc
rious invasion at the start Behind
this first line, the remaining units or
the organized reserves, fully consti-
tuted with framework of officers and
non-commissioned officers, will be pre-
pared to undertake the training OF
their raw recruits at once.
The country will thus be able de-
liberately to develop its military power
to any necessary extent without risk
of serious disaster through surprise at
the outbreak of war, and without the
necessity OF maintaining a burdensome
military establishment In time OF
peace. Such a military organization
causes no menace to any other nation,
but assures the impregnability of the
continental United States In the event
of attack by any possible hostile COM
binatlon, General Pershing says.
What General Pershing Says.
at is recognized that the citizen
components of the army of the Uni
ted States can be only partially
trained prior to mobilization" con-
tinued the general. "While national
defense comprises more than the
preservation of our continental in
tegrity, the initial accomplishment of
such security will afford time for the
orderly development of our great mill
tary resources. Therefore, the per-
missible minimum of peace training
is that required to prevent invasion
at the outbreak of war.
"For purposes of Illustration, let 1t
be assumed that a National Guard
division is assigned the initial mission
of defending a given beach section.
Upon mobilization the combatant ele-
ments of this division at peace
strength would be ordered to train
ing area within reach of this section,
which would be prepared for defense.
Thereafter it would be practicable to
complete the mobilization, equipment
and training of the division at war
strength. Continuous development in
the beach position would not be nee
essary after its preparation for de-
Tense The troops could be moved
back to convenient training area
and could rely upon naval and air
reconnaissance to give ample warn
ings of a possible attack. Thus the
initial mission for this division de-
termines the minimum degree of
training which must be assured in
time of peace, the extent to which it
must be initially supplied with equip
ment, and the place where it will have
