SEEK POSTAL REDUCTION
FOR NEWS PUBLICATIONS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.ARepre-
sentative Kelly, republican, Penn
sylyania, introduced a bill Monday
to reduce postal rates on newspa-
pers and periodicals. The measure
would repeal the last two increases
made under the war revenue law of
1917.
Mr.. Kelly said that with practi-
cally no exception war taxes have
been removed from all other indus
tries" and that it was "highly dis
criminatory to make publishers pay
the present exorbitant postal rates
which are unjust and unfair to both
publishers and subscribers.

The Senate has been asked by a
committee of "One Hundred and Ten
Citizens" not to ratify the Lausanne
treaty negotiated between the United
States and Turkey at Lausanne on
August 6, 1923.
In memorandum to Senator Len
root. republican, Wisconsin, the COM

contentious by prominent Americans
and American newspapers against
ratification.
Signed by James w. Gerard. former
ambassador to Germany, as chairman
Of the committee. the memorandum
declared the treaty "surrenders the
Legitimate and essential rights and
interests of America in Turkey. and
nullifies President Harding's pledge

Rejection by the Senate of the
treaty. it was set forth, could not
prejudice what little interest America
now has in Turkey-on the contrary,
it would compel that country to
prove as much by acts as by promises
its worthiness to be included in the

DWINDLING PREPARATIONS

AT the versailles peace conference Germany OIL
fered settle with the Allies for S24 OC0 000 Two
years ago she offered to settle for 600 000 Now
she offers to settle for S50O000O0O At this rate in
another few years Germany will the Allies moth

alton.
1t is only fair to say that the Allies demands, too
have grown less and less they have the mpos
sbility of Germany paying anything like the de-
Sired in time to be of any benefit to the generation
that fought the war. 1t is possible that the Allies
and that means mainly France-rnight be satisfied
now with Germanys offer of 1921, about half of
the Versailles offer.
The whole thing is complicated by endless dis
pute to how much Germany really has paid. The
Reparation Commission has computed the payments
made up to year ago at $1,275, 100000 and some
goods and money have been delivered since that time
The German government maintains that it has paid the
enormous sum of $2O,O00000,00e This however, in
cudes not only actual payments in gold and goods but
the estimated value of ships conscated and territory
seized.
All figuring on that basis is futile. The whole
problem comes down to question of how much can
be squeezed out Of Germany, and no two authorities
agree about that.
1t is hopeless muddle, out of which Germany
may be expected to escape with comparative mpunty,
in spite of the French determination to extract the last
mark. The situation represents virtual defeat of
justice. There is certain value in it, however, be-
of the lesson it teaches plainly that nation
nowadays need expect to conquer another nation and
make any profit out of the victory That lesson, really
learned, would do more to stop than any teach
ing based on abstract morality.

Just now there is increasing tendency both at

two countries have been coming closer together Slow

undesirable that this condition of mstrust should

NEW YORK, June 29.-William
X. Vanderbilt, a director Of the
New York Central Railroad and one
Of the richest men in the United

in favor Of labor unions and of col
lective bargaining.
The statement was made during
a hearing before Industrial Commits
sioner Edward Shientag on the

said to oppose recognition OF the
unions. The New York Central

the directors Of the Schenectady
company should meet the men in a
more conciliatory manner. He de-
clared he was willing to help to
this end in every way and offered
