German Prince Welcomed
Back Home BY Press

Gels, Silesia, Dec. S-(A. p. by
MaiD-While William. the. former
crown prince of Germany who re-
turned recently to his castle at Oeis,
perhaps is not the most popular per-
son in the world with the press and
the public of those parts which he
calls home, any proposal that he be
not allowed to remain here meets
with immediate resentment. r.
The public generally has taken this
attitude. 1t is quite evident, because
protests against Williams return
emaaate from France. Local papers
declare that the prince has the SYM
pathy of all true Germans; that Ger
mans generally are pleased at his re-
turn, and that he should remain in
the country and share the burdens
of the people. 30

from political activity" says the

Governmental Economy
Urged BY Irish Free

Dublin, Dec. 10-(A. Y. by MaiD-
The Free State government is con-
fronted with serious financial Prob
lens, and the finance minister has
announced that the balancing of the
budget can be accomplished only by
practicing strict economy, as taxa
ton has cached the limit. The Dali
has endorsed the economies on
salaries of school teachers and old
ago pensions on the assurance that
cuts are to he enforced in other &C.
partments.
Criticism has been directed at the
expenditure caused by the change of
government and the consequence that
the Free State now is obliged to pay
pensions to displaced British officials
as woll as the salaries of those ap-
pointed to succeed them.
It is hoped to effect a large saving
in the expense of the army by reduc-
ing the present cost of more than
$50. 100000 to about sec, ,0n0. 1t has
been urged that ireland does not need
an army larger than that of Canada,
which costs $7.5OO,000. The British
government has allocated $500, 900
to provide houses for the ex-soldiers.
The fund is to be administered by
board of five members. three to be
named by the British government and
one each by the northern and south
ern governments of Ireland.

Food Forever
For Human Needs
Never Run Out

Berkeley, Cal. Dec. ~ CA. P. -
Will the population of the world
ever increase to such numbers that
the food supply will run out? NO
predicts Professor c. c. Plenn of the
department of economics in the Uni
versity OF California.
Bat the professor qualities his
negative by saying that if the popu-
lation of the world ever increases
as fully as it has the power to. there
certainly will be a shortage of food
He explains that. as matter OF
statistics. this probably never can
happen, since events and conditions
always intervene to prevent over
population.
Yet, he comedies. in certain coun-
tries this economic over-population
has occurred. He cites the annual
tamines in China and India, which
he contends, are due TO the tact that
the birth rate never has been kept
down in those countries and con-
sequently the food supply proves in
adequate.
Dread diseases always follow
famine in the train of excessive pop
ulation and shortage OF food" the
professor points out, and he states
further that as population increases
the land is 'proportiopateiy over
worked,
In America, especially. popula-
ton has always been held in check.
People are made to realize the i'm
portance of keeping a balance be-
tween the population and the food
supply. Farmers manage to pro-
duce enough food to satisfy every
body. even though agricultural
methods improve more slowly than
the population Increases. The
amount of effort expended in labor
and machinery for getting food is
increasing steadily. so that, although
population tends to increase more
rapidly than food. there never will
be danger of food giving out"

HUGHES-C -CURZON PLAN.

FRANCE WOULD USE MEETING TO PRY A FEW DOLLARS LOOSE
 FROM DEBT TO U. s.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The plan for American participation in the re- parations controversy by Secretary Hughes for the United States and Lord Curzon for Britain, was practi- cally killed tonight by Secretary of States Hughes and Ambassador Jus serand, when Secretary Hughes told Ambassador Jusserand that the plan of America called for a "broad and inclusive inquiry in Germany's capac- ity to pay.''
 The ambassador replied that his country could not accept this proposal unless simultaneous considerations were given to international debts.
 Secretary Hughes replied that the American government could not see how Germany's capacity to pay was affected by what France owed the United States, and immediately after ward the conference adjourned.
 Secretary Hughes laid the case be- fore President Coolidge for his con sideration.
