Reichstag Fails to Enthuss
Over chanceIIor's Plans,
After Hearing from Paris
By KARL n. Won wIEGAND.

Dy AAhL He WIN VAkUANUs
Especial wireless to Universal service.)
BERLIN, Nov. 24.-Just before
the German Reichstag met today to
listen to the inaugural address Of
Chancellor Cuno. news was received
here from Paris that q sudden
change had taken place in the
policy Of the reparations commits
sion toward Germany. Although
the news of the change was known
only to a small group Of party lead
ers and parliamentarians. it>was
sufficient to throw a cloud over the
session and damper enthusiasm at
DR.. Cuno's address
SHARP NOTE ON WAY.
1t was learned from a reliab BILE
source that the reparations commits
sion Is sending an answer to the
German note of November 13 which
was signed by Chancellor Wirth.
The answer Is declared to be
couched in a sharp tone demanding
definite proposals and suggestions
concerning the readjustment of the
German budget.
Although the details Of the note
are not yet known, cabinet circles
are extremely pessimistic, as II is
realized that the new note will Gre
ate new political complications and
have a catastrophsl effect on the
German mark.
Sentiment in political circles ID
further depressed at the knowledge
that the preliminary conference Of
allied premiers, prior to the Brus-
sells conference. will agree to pre-
sent q united front against any
advantage for Germany.
DAMPER ON SPEECH.
Under these conditions the new
chancellor's speech was. received
with great reservation. The only
opposition was from the commun.
lists.
At the point where DR.. Cuno said
that any solution of the present
situation was impossible without the
aid Of the United States he further
said:
The success of my policy depends
not only upon cooperation at home
but on aid from the outside. 1 am
ready to place my relations with
foreign countries at the service Of
Germany"
At this point he was interrupted
by a shout from the Communists:
That Is what we expected. Capf.
talists Of all countries hold to-
gether."
This was answered by a remark
from the benches on the right:
I've may congratulate ourselves
on DIR. Cuno's good relations with
the United States"
During this incident Ambassador
Houghton was in an animated con-
versation with his colleagues in the
diplomatic box.
TAKE VOTE TOMORROW.
One of the passages of DIR. Cuno's
speech which met with the most gen.
eral approval was the statement:
"I repeat what DR.. Rathenau said
standing on this same platform two
days before his tragic death. that this
government will never agree to sur-
render the occupied territory of the
Rhineland. the Saar Basin or the
Palitinate."
A vote Of confidence will be taken
tomorrow and probably will result in
small majority for the government.
The German Nationalists are ex-
pected to vote for the government
unless the motion contains a too
favorable mention Of the policies Of
the late Wirth government. The
Social Democrats are expected to
refrain from voting.

struggle desperately to control
some of 1t.

1T was suggested here, some
L time ago, that revelation Of
Ku Klux strength would before
long surprise you.
Since then, is the case of the
State Of Louisiana appealing to
the national Government for help
against the Khan. And Hylan,
mayor of the nation's biggest
city, orders his police to concen-
trate energy on hunting the Khan,
says he, "as you would the Reds
and bomb throwers."
1T is not certain that an ac-
L tive fight against the Klan
will not help them. They do not
represent anarchy that has sss
in 1000 against it, but race and
religious hatreds that. unfor-
tunately, have more advocates
than the majority could believe.
Many things, including religion
and attacks on religion, thrive
best when most savagely at
tackled.
In every direction, you see
L trouble. Turks say they. will

what the Koran says about
Communism. The people of 'Ba-
varia seem eager to start some
new kind of a fight, as the
Turks did.
Clemenceau pays this country
a real compliment when he says
it could settle Europe's troubles.
The question is: "Can we settle
our own?"
Amateurs in one week sue
