I,x Universal Service.

= Washington, March 29-Secretary
OF State Hughes acceptance of the
terms agreed upon in Paris for set
Ting Americas bill for the Rhine oc-
cupational army is regarded here as
foreshadowing another battle with the
irreconeilable, anti-league senators
on the issue of joining hands with
the league of nations.
Tho settlement, as reported TO the
State department. involves the United
States in the collection of reparations
from Germany and will cause the
United States thereby TO become n
member of the group of nations, iden-
tical with those in the league, who
Will try to force Germany TO pay.
That acceptance of these terms will
be vigorously protested by the anti
league group was predicted by sena-
tors, who see in the agreement an ap-
parent act of defiance on the part Of
Secretary Hughes of that element in
the senate and in the republican party
opposed to foreign entanglements.
Terms of Settlement.
The tieing up Of the United States
in the reparations question comes
through that portion Of the agree
ment which provides that after de-
ducton is made for the 100000 900
worth of German goods taken by the
United States after the armistice.
the United States will receive for the
ensuing. four years, a sum equal to
25 per cent Of all moneys collected
from Germany. In succeeding years,
the United States is to receive s20.-
000 900 a year from the reparations
account until the entire sum Of $780,
900 IS liquidated.
Irreconcilable senators see in this
arrangement a victory for France ana
England in their efforts to link the
United States with the whole repara-
tlons business. Premier Poincare Is
quoted as being we'll satisfied with
this phase of the settlement.
Opposed by Wilson.
This was one thing which former
President Wilson studiously resisted
while in Paris, because he believed the
reparations matter was one with
which the United States should have
nothing 20 do.
The terms OF the settrment do not
have 10 be submitted TO the senate
for approval or rejection, because the
agreement IS not in the form OF
treaty. For this reason. II the ad-
ministration finally agrees to the
terms laid down by the allies. the sen
ate Will have no power to block II
or to modify the terms.
But Mr.. Hughes will have succeed.
ed in comforting upon the United
States n baokdoor entrance into the
reparations muddle. and the senate
irreconeilables probably will overlook
no opportunity Of letting the American
people know about II.
