By the Associated Press
PARIS. January 4.-The French gold
deposit in Great Britain, amounting to
1900. .ooo.o 900 francs, retention of which
by the British comprises one Of the
points in Mr.. Bonar Laws reparations
plan, was sent to the Bank Of England
to help maintain the exchange value OF
the pound sterling during the war. when
Great Britain was acting as a sort of
clearing house for allied payments in
the United States.
The current affirmation that this gold
was handed over as a guarantee for
loans made by the British treasury Is
incorrect, II was explained at the Bank
OF France this morning. The gold is
carried in the banks statement as gold
abroad"
There was no connection between
credit opened by the British to the al
lies and the gold deposit. 1t was ar
serted. other than a desire to avoid
depreciation of the pound sterling
through its use in paying for allied
purchases. oncials said that Great
Britain's action in taking the gold to
pay balances in the United States was
not only regular but was exactly
what the allies loaned 1t to Great
Britain for. 1t was understood that
gold to an equal amount should be
returned to France by the Bank Of
England when the transaction involv-
ed in making payments for allied war
purchases were finally liquidated.

SHREVEPORT, La, January A.
Leslie Leggett. negro, wass lynched
either last night or early today by a
party of men who kidnapped him. His
body was found in the southern part
of the city, riddled with bullets.
Leggett was seized at a garage and
placed in an automobile by his five
white abductors and spirited away.
Earlier in the evening four men had
called at the garage sarching for him.
Police Chief Basar said complaints
had been reaching his Office that Leg
gett was associating with white wom-
en-. Police have been "shadowing"
him, he said, but failed to obtain
enough evidence to warrant his arrest.
The police said Leggett was a negro
and had frequently been arrested and
booked as such, but Charles Papa,
white grocer, orwhom he worked, and
in whose house he roomed, said he was
q Spaniard. He was known in the
negro quarter as yellow Lester"

would neither be compelled to accent
the work of that unofficial delegation
or duplicate the same.
This bill, If enacted, will unite the
hands of President Harding. The
president ought never to have been
hafnpered by any such Limitation as
that contained in the resolution rati-
fylng our treaty with Germany. The
ciared as early as December 10. 1920,
by that great American economist
and publicist, B. NJ Baruch, to be a
necessary prerequisite to the restora-
tlon OF political and economic peace
in Europe.
ut is interesting to note that Mr..
Baruch, more than two years ago, not
only declared that the crux of the
world Industrial and commercial
problems lies in the fixing of the
but he was also of the opinion as
clearly set forth in his treaties on
the economic clauses of the Versailles
treaty, that the aggregate amount
which Germany could pay was APP
proximately s12,500. 900. 900 and should
not exceed $4,000. 100000. After two
years of pickering and fruitless
wrangling world opinion is confirm
ing his judgment in every important
detail.

land. it is said. recognize the inpos-
sibility of collecting the enormous
sum first fixed and agree that 1t must
be scaled down to substantially the
Baruch estimate.
Our commerce and industry are
suffering by reason of the political
distraction and financial panic which
threaten almost every government in
Europe. That Germany is approach
ing collapse is apparent The great
republic, which has arisen above the
ruins of the former German empire
a republic whose people seek an op-
portunity to live and labor in peace
must not remain forever an outcast
among the nations. The opportunity
of assisting to lead the new German
nation to a plane of permanent safety
while at the same time advancing the
happiness and prosperity of our own
people is worthy of our united and
wholehearted efforts.
Both hesitation and secrecy should
be abandoned. Let the Senate and the
public be informed as to what has
been done and what this government
proposes to do to save US from the
harm which must inevitably come If
present political and economic dis
turbances in Europe continue. The
responsibility of conducting foreign
affairs must not be left to bankers,
merchants and bond brokers in their
private capacities. 1t must primarily
deVolve upon the chief executive. The
issues to be met are governme entail.
Therefore the power that should
grapple with them is not private re-
sponsibility, but public authority"

GERMAN CABINET
SEES ONLY GLOOM
Members Do Not Expect Set
tlement Unless French
Alter Their Views.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associa ted Press.
BERLIN, January 4.-Chancellor
Cuno and a majority of the members
of his cabinet devoted several hours
to, an informal perusal of the British
and French reparations plans as
transmitted from Paris. Occasionally
they transferred their attention to
the ticker bulletins on the progress
of the conference in the French
capital.
/ Hope for a rift in the clouds hang
ing over the premiers' conversations
vanished as the government leaders
here were advised during the day of
Premier Poincare's hostility to the
British program.
with the British and French repa-
rations plans diametrically opposed
and violently contradicting each other
in their premises and conclusions,
there does not appear to be any pros
pect of a tangible solution being ar
rived at in the present conference"
said one member of the cabinet.
Mr.. Bonar Law and M. Poincare,
the ministers believed, were talking
at cross purposes, this situation was
amply reflected in their respective
programs.
Press Expects Break.
The difference between the British
and French reparations plans, as the
editors of Berlin's newspapers view
Il In their comment, is that the for
mer is based upon economic prin-
ciples, while the latter is wholly in
spired by political and imperialiStic
aspirations The commentators pro-
fess to see no prospects for fruit
full outcome of the Paris gathering, in
view of the pronounced cleavage be-
tween the views of Prime Minister
Bonar Law and Premier Poincare.
Both the men and the measures
they propose are as different as fire
and water, and the Paris conference
in all probability will founder on an.
effort to square the circle" says the
LokaI Anzeiger.
The Tabeblatt asserts that Premier
PoIncare Is apparently still the vic
tim of the Illusion that q Germany
which is saddled with new burdens
and subjected to fresh expressions
and military control will nevertheless
be capable of stabilizing her currency
and commanding foreign credit.
Mr. Bonar Laws plan, says the
Boersen Zeitung, Is worthy of being
discussed. even IL 1t puts an excessive
appraisal on Germany's financial and
economic capacity. Its merit consists
of an Intelligent appr reciatIon of the
required for European
