Contracts are being filled, howev.

WASHINGTON TENSE
OVER PREPARATIONS
MEETING At PARIS
F Former Scoffers at Interna-
tionat Moves by u, S, Now
Concerned Over RehabiIi-
tation of Europe
By DAVID LAWRENCE
Neased Wire Service to The Journal
Copyright, 1929

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Although
the United States government isn't
represented and the conference of
premiers is taking place at Paris,
there is just as much tension here
and anxiety about the outcome as If
the session were being held at the
White House itself.
Critical. decisions involving def
mite responsibilities for the future,
which the United States government
recognizes as inevitable, are in the
making at Paris. But, broadly
speaking, the crisis involves a new
EbaIance of power in the world. Shall
the United States join Great Britain
and even Germany as against
France? That's one course of &C.
ton which nobody in official quar-
ters would like to see develop, but
which in the event of an uncom-
promising attitude by the French
may be advocated by the allies.
Heretofore every reference to
Frances persistent policy of exact
ing the maximum from Germany has
been thinly yelled. There has been
no outspoken opposition to France
although privately the French have
been held up as blocking not only
world peace but economic progress.
European problems are being more
carefully studied today than three
years hence and the very people who
used to act indifferently toward mat
ters overseas are now clamoring for
markets abroad so as to help boost
farm prices to the American pro
Queer. Every effort to bring set
tlement in Europe of economic ills
has been directed at France. AS for
the relations between Great Britain
and the United States, they never
were better. There is an identity Of
interest between America and the
British. Both want to see Germany S
purchasing power restored.

$3.50, OOO HOTEL is
BURNED IN ADMISSION

ANNISTON, Ala, Jan. 3. - The
$25O,000 Admission Inn, one of the
finest hotel buildings in Admission,
was completely destroyed by fire
early Wednesday morning, the fur
nishings, insured for 100000, being
totally destroyed.
The fire was discovered about 2:3O
o'clock by Robert Kyle, former
manager of the inn, who had arisen
at that hour to return to Blrmlng-
ham, where he has been connected
with the Tutwiler since leaving the
local hotel.
Fire apparatus from Camp Nc,
Clellan, Oxford, Jacksonville and
Piedmont was summoned to aid the
local fighters, but the flames could
not be checked. All the guests eS-
capped safely.
The inn was built by Samuel NO
BILE in 1884 and was one of the most
picturesque hotel buildings in the
south.
The Inn was a 100-rOom hosiery.
built in 1884, by Samuel Noble
founder of Admission. The loss is es-
timated at 100000.

French Viewpoint

England wants it because her
ships will carry her goods to and
from Germany. America wants it
so Germany can buy in the Ameri-
can markets the surplus which has
been made possible by expanded IA
cilities and increased production III
this country ever since the European
war stimulated manufactures and
production of raw materials.
The French, however, see the
whole situation through French
eves-not British and not Ameri-
can. They see devastated areas I'M
restored. They see the French c.
pacity for production and manufac-
ture reduced by Il one-man power.
They know the German capacity for
production and manufacture. They
| fear Germany as an economic factor
but mostly they disbelieve the cry
| that Germany can not pay her in
demnity in the future. The French
admit that a temporary omission OF
payments or moratorium may be
necessary but they will not give IN
future payments. They still want
guarantees against invasion whe1
Germany is strong enough to in
wade.
Thus far the United States anl
Great Britain have not been able TO
offer any plan which would satisfy
the French. The cablegrams FROM
abroad telling of the proposal to
France by Chancellor Cuno of a non-
AGGRESSION pact whereby Germany
| would agree not to invade france
and vice versa is IN line with Amer :
| lean endeavor ever since President
Harding publicly suggested the ioul :

icy, the answer would be negative,
but as it becomes increasingly appar-

to a world settlement is something
like American ratification of non
