joint Liberal amendment to the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne proposing an investigation by
the League OF Nations with American
cooperation into Germany's capacity
to pay reparations. The debate on the
question was lifted above the ordinary
by the brilliant speech Of former Pre-
mier Lloyd George, who revealed. un-

Thus, through parliamentary Ell.

to the address as vote of censure
against the government OF the day.
the House rejected proposal which
probably had the strong sympathy of
the majority of Its members, because
a contrary vote would have meant the
fall OF the government.
Il. A. L. Fisher, liberal member for
English universities. who was presl-
dent Of the board Of education In the
Lloyd George cabinet, In opening the
debate, considered the cooperation Of
America so all-important that IL Amer

ly Of the league.
Lord Robert Cecil, on the other
hand, while not minimizing the i'm.
portance Of American help, thought
that a formal invitation to Washing
ton would entail grave danger Of re-
bufflng America and might cause
Washington to restate that govern
ment's opinion that Europe must first
compose her own quarrels.
Mr.. Lloyd George displaying all his
old mastery Of apt phrase, took the
line that the momentum Of French ac-
ton In the Ruhr had developed beyond
anything the French government ever
conceived and that 1t was the business
Of England and America to extrIcate
France from an impossible and dam
gerous position.
Every creditor had to choose be-
tween cash and smash. he declared.
France was trying both, but she must
decide upon one or the other. The
French action was ill-conceived, be-
traying lack Of vision. He refused to
believe that any military adviser Of
France had ever committed himself to
the opinion that France ought to seize
the Ruhr.
In brief, Mr.. George considered the
French government committed to a
policy of irretrIevable disaster. There
had been nothing In the reparatlons
problem which, in his opinion, demand.
ed such. a violent step, and the disqui-
citing feature was that there must be
some reason beyond reparations, since
clearly reparations was not the object
In view.
What really mMttered, he said. was
to get America in, with or without
league of nations action. He did not
believe that France, however. obsessed,
could refuse an offer made by the two
greatest powers on earth. that had
saved her from being in the position
Germany is occupying today.

Most Unusual
Picture Coming

A most unusual picture is slated
for the Palace screen tonight and
tomorrow night when John Stahl' s
much talked-of 1.-The Dangerous
Age will be shown. This picture
has excited much comment all over
the country in view of the fact that
the siekly sentimental couple whose
story usually ends with a fade.out
of wedding bells is missing. In
stead the chief characters are a
married couple Of 40 years of age.
Five days of constant work, a
chartered train of eight Pullman
and two baggage ears, and the ser
vices of 200 people, not counting
the east, are few of the elements
which contributed to the race be-
tween an automobile and a train.
Lewis S. Stone gives one of the
finest charaeterizations of his vari-
ed career as John Andrews in 'The
Dangerous Age" An exceptional
east surrounds Mr.. Stone, including
Ruth Clifford, Edith Roberts, Cleo
Madison, James Morrison, Richard
Tucker, Myrtle Stedman, Helen
Lynch and Lincoln Stedman.
Pictures of the famous Carriso
Gorge between here and San Diego
win also be shown.
