eminent were to get the control of the
mines and with this fact open the only
plausible means lay in the purchase
of the mines from the owners. She
closed by showing that government
regulation of affairs was a failure be-
cause of the political question result
ing by every change of administra-
ton and stating that this political
squabble could not be tolerated in
such a big matter as the coal ques-
ton of the country. The judges de-

judges consisted of G.. A. RossKam and

Mr.. Harlan, instructor of manual

VXTASHINGTON devoted a great
w deal of attention last week to
Europe's problems. President Harding
and Secretary Hughes had long talks
with Ambassador Harvey, and the
President also received Charles e.
Mitchell, president of the National City
bank of New York. In the senate Rob-
inson of Arkansas offered a resolution
that the President be and he is here
by authorized, by and with the consent
of the senate, to appoint a person or
persons to represent the United States
in the Preparations commission accord
ing to the terms of part VIII of the
treaty of Versailles and section " of
article II of the treaty of peace with
Germany"
This move was approved by the
President, who has long desired that
the United States have full represen-
tation on the Preparations commission.
He feels that this country can most eff
f~ectually aid Europe by having a voice
in the solution of the basic problem,
the settlement of the ~reparationS. 1t
was taken for granted that if the res
olution were adopted Roland Boyden,
now unofficial observer, would be APP
pointed American member of the COM
mission.

ment in which he said: you can get
certain amounts of money by taking
immediate possession of Germany, but
you cannot take over Germany and re-
establish her financial stability. The
allies have reached a point where they
must choose between these two meth
DDS. They cannOt have both. This is
not a political question; it is a bust
ness question. You can get certain
amounts from Germany if you take
possession of her, but you cannot take
them and r~e-establish German credit.
He concluded 1T is often said that
the British have a selfish interest 10
the restoration of Germany because we
do so much foreign trade. 1t is my firm
conviction that, from a purely selfish
point of view, if an earthquake were to
come along and swallow Germany up
we would gain, not lose, since Germany
is our trade rival"
Herr Bergman carried to Paris a
German program and was permitted to
submit it In writing to the British and
French delegations. 1t suggested the
same reduction in reparations as the
British plan and asked a ten-year
moratorium and an international loan
of a billion and a quarter dollars i'm
mediately. The loan the Germans
thought they could raise mainly in the
United States and in neutral countries,
where vast amounts of German CAPT
tai are now hidden. The French re
ply TO this was that the German war
profteers would certainly absorb all
the benefits of such a loan.

SENATOR BORAH has withdrawn
- his resolution for a world economic
conference, after it has accomplished
what he probably expected it would.
1t compelled the administration to
come out in the open with its views in
the matter. From the White House
came the admission that the United
States is vitality concerned with the
restoration of peace and prosperity in
Europe and that the war debt problem
cannot be settled within the terms of
the funding act. Secretary Hughes, in
a speech at New Haven, suggested that
1.-THE problem of Europe be turned over
to an international conference of eX-
perts and ~fnanciers.

DREMIERS of the allied nations, in
4 session in Paris last week, absolute
ly failed to reach an agreement on ad-
and on Thursday the conference broke
up, leaving France to act alone as she
may see fit in the matter of enforcing
payment from Germany.
Bonar Law and Poincare submitted
their respective plans, and after two
days of heated controversy each de-
clared the program of the other was
unacceptable. The British prime min
lister was the more emphatic in this
declaration and it was he who abrupt
ly created the final rupture, stating
that it was useless to continue the
discussions. The British delegation
left for London Friday morning. Thus
the entente cordiale was finally
smashed.
Premier Poincare Immediately
Marshal Foch, General Wey-
gand and the cabinet members to a
meeting to discuss Frances plan for
isolated action. Whatever she does
will probably have the moral support
Of Italy and Belgium, for the compro-
mise plans offered by those countries
were much nearer to the French pro-
gram than to that of Great Britain.
Italy, in fact, Joined with France in
fatty rejecting Bonar Laws propos-
ais.
The British and French plans may
be summarized thus as to their more
important provisions:
British proposal
Reduction of German Preparations to
S12.5 10000.
-Four years full moratorium, with a
graduated scale of payment after that
and opportunity for Germany to meet
its obligations by loans and deliveries
of materials.
Cancellation of all debts owed by
France, Italy and Belgium to Great
Britain except such as could be paid by
allied gold deposits now held in Lon
don (about S25O,O00,OO0) and a portion
Of the German first series bonds to be
issued as security for Preparations.
Demands Germany stabilize credit
under allied control.
Opposes any forceful measures un-
less Germany shows unwillingness to
meet the new terms.
French proposal
Preparations must stand as fixed at
500, 900, 100000, but the French are will
ing to cancel the present German Sc
bonds. amounting to $20,50O,OO0,OO0 If
that sum is written off the interallied
debts.
Two years moratorium on cash pay
ments, but insist payments in materials
must go on.
Guarantees amounting to $25O,OOO,-
600 a year by collection Of coal tax,
and export and import duties on Ger
man products. These collections would

nearly everybody else. The measure
provided increased pensions for veter-
ans of the Civil, Mexican and Indian
wars and their widows, for Civil war
nurses and for manned veterans Of all
Il wars. The President vetoed it
because, he said, it would cost the gov
eminent $10S, 100000 annually and set
a precedent entailing pension obliga-

WHILE the Lausanne Near East

WHILE the Lausanne Near East
w peace conference marked time,
awaiting action by the premiers in
Paris, the Turks were bolstering up
their courage, or obstinacy, to stand
firm in opposition to the demands Of
the British. In the national assembly
at Angora the majority seemed to be
against the making of any further con-
cessions to the allies, and it was re-
ported that instructions were tele-
graphed to Ismet Pasha to continue
his resistance to allied pressure on the
questions of Mosul and capitulations.
On the other hand, Marquis Curzon re-
turned from his holiday in Paris with
authorization from Bonar Law to re-
fuse all Turkish demands that already
had been rejected. The British appear
not the least alarmed by Turkish
threats of warfare.

NTODIFICATION of the immigration
ing shortage of labor in the United
States may be relieved is being strong
ly urged by the farm organizations and
the large industries, which have Joined
hands in the movement. On Thursday
the house committee on immigration
heard the proposals Of a committee of
the International Manufacturers asso-
citation, which were formulated in con-
~sultation with agricultural leaders and
are backed by senators and congress
men from the leading industrial and
agricultural states. The committee
made these recommendations:
1. That in fixing the quota of each
nationality of otherwise admissible
aliens under the present law, due re-
gard should be given to the ascer-
tanned annual emigration from the
United States of persons of such ma
~tionality.
2. That the secretary of labor shall
be authorized, upon the presentation to
him of satisfactory evidence of a con-
tinuing shortage of labor of a particu-
lar class or type, to admit otherwise
admissible aliens in xcess of the
quota until, in his judgment, such con-
dition is improved.
3. That provision shall be made for
physical examination of aliens at ports
of embarkation or where their pass
ports are vised except that such re
quirement shall be waived upon assur-
ances of another government that sat
isfactOry examination has been made.
Organized labor. of course, Is bitter
ly opposed to any such relaxation of
the restrictions, holding that increased
immigration of alien labor will result
in lower wages. Samuel Gompers says
there would be no labor shortage If the
industries from which alien competi-
ton has driven native-born workers
would pay unskilled labor wages per-
hitting an American standard of liv-
ing. 1t is predicted that the house will
pass a bill which provides for no ma
terial relaxation and that the manufac-
turers and agriculturists will renew
their plea before the senate.

the various areas of Near East Relief
activities, Asia Minor. the Caucasus,
Constantinople and Greece. in all of
which the relief problem is greatly
complicated by the wholesale refugee
nigrations and greatly increased
hardships and privations, due to the
military situation.
Thanks TO the precautions taken by
the Near East Relief, all orphans have
been removed from Anatolia to zones
IF safety. some of them now being
luartercd in Syria. Most of the
children. however. are in Greek ter
ritory. The removal of these child
ren involved great expense and many
aardships. Two American relief
workers lost their lives during the
evacuation. Some Of the older child
rem walked as far as 500 miles over
rough mountain roads from Harpoot
south into Syria from which they
-ook boat for Greece.
Three thousand orphans are being
cared for by the Near East Re-
