ENGLAND's EAGERNEss.

England goes on complimenting the
United States by showing her belief
that cooperation with this country is
more to be desired than great riches,
or something like that. She accepts
Frances conditions, quite as the cap
tain of baseball team will agree to
play on muddy field if he has the
chance to get some fine player into
the game. England docs not like
Frances limitations on the confer
ence plan, but Secretary of State
Hughes and France are in full accord
in regard to most of them. For one
thing there has never been any dis
position in the keen mind of the
lawyer, Hughes, to question the power
and authority of the reparations COM
mission as a continuing body. He in
sists that the American on the con-
ference board shall act with that
board only in an advisory capacity as
the board itself should act This is
Premier Poincare's view. 1t is the
view of men of legal minds who real
ize what agreements are binding and
what are not. II is to be noted in
cidentally, that Premier Poincare is a
lawyer, also.
Frances strength and reliance is on
the treaty of Versailles. The repara-
tons commission under it must retain
fought. As The Herald predicted
would be the case the conditions
raised by France did not bring con-
sternation and encouragement to
Washington as the pessimists declared
ii would President Coolidge believes
the conference will be of value. Even
the irreconcilable Borah, who has
long advocated an international eco
nomie conference, is not against this
move although he declares IL would
not do as much good as his own plan
would-which is to be expected.
Senator Mccormick, arraigning
Poincare iiercely. can see no good in
France whose policy, he declares, has
made everyone suffer. But the sig
nificant point in Engtand's acceptance
and the eagerness of the other ma
tons of Europe TO have this confer
encc in which an American will par
ticipate go through, is that it shows
again that Europe will agree TO
almost anything (France excepted
perhaps) If only the influence of the
United States is brought to bear upon
the situation. And England especially
is anxious 10 have the details settled
before France does anything more in

ONE MAY TRAFFIC.

Councilman Henry Rice is very
much opposed to one-way traffic
about the park at the center of the
city as tried out by the police depart
ment on two successive Saturday
nights. He is not very explicit III
his argument against the scheme,
basing his statement that he is OPP
posed on a statement that was made
in local paper" that the scheme
worked better last Saturday night
than it did on the preceding Satur-
day, He says that there were not as
many cars on the street when the
plan was tried the second time. Pcs
sibly this is true, we do not know how
many automobiles use Main street on
Saturday night, excepting that we do
know there are many of them,
too many in fact for perfect traffic
under the most ideal system of han
ding it.
Councilman Rice is quite within his
rights and acting in accord with his
duty in expressing an opinion on the
subject. He is to be praised for SO
doing, for taking a stand upon the
matter, whichever side he chooses.
The practice of individual members
Of the Common Council making their
opinions known should be encour-
aged In this way we shall gain the
most from any proposed legislation
or act.
But we must disagree with the
Councilman and we believe that we
shall ultimately be proven right when
we contend that Main street, east and
west of the park must be one-way
street. In fact we are willing to go fur
Their and state that the streets feeding
into the center should be one way also.
court, Walnut, West Main, Church
and Chestnut streets should be one
way streets for at least a block off of
Main. We chcerfully assert that the
time is coming when they will be
made so and we believe that automo-
bilists. having once become accus-
toned to the change will not wish to
go back to the other scheme.
1t is well known fact that the
proper way TO eliminate confusion in
traffic is to do away with the spots
where confusion is likely to occur.
AS traffic is now scheduled about the
center it is necessary for an automo-
bilist to cross the stream Of traffic
many times in going from ono point to
another across the center Of the city.
The routing of all traffic in a circular
motion about the park would elm
mate a certain number Of these cross
ing spots. There is no question about
IL. or course We can not do away
Nth the crosst.y spots entirely but

PLAN ECONOMY DRIVE

Berlin, Oct .3l.--It was officially
announced today that from motives of
economy and in an effort to balance
the budget drastic reductions In ex-

German government in all directions.
The number of officials of the Reich
will be reduced Immediately by 25
per cent But no dismissal will be
made on political or religious grounds.
The economies include reduction and
postponement of payment OF COM
pensation to persons in the occupied
territory.

mier Poincare declares France will

indemnity unless frances debts are
CORRESPONDENCE reduced. It's Frances
old attempt to get out of paying her
debt to the United States, put in a
new way.
The French insist also that the
PREPARATIONS commission shall appoint
the financial experts and that the
commission shall have the right to
turn down the experts report. This
means that the experts may be all
hand picked by France. Furthermore,
their work may go for nothing after
it's done.

COUNTER PROPOSALS
TRANSFORMATION Brotherhoods Report
THAT Railroads Make Own RECON-

BY The Associated Press.
Cleveland, oct. 31.-Heads OF the
TRANSPORTATION brotherhoods nave
heard from several hundred railroads
throughout the country in reply to the
train service employees request for IN
creased wages and the replies in most
every case show uniform counter pro-
posals to consider the elimination OF
the payment of time and one-half for
overtime, and other working rules, ID.
s. Robertson, president of the broth
erhood Of locomotive tiremen and en-
ginemen said today.
A number of contracts between the
|brotherhoods and railway systems ex-
pire today but brotherhood officials
said the negotiations for wage in
creases with these roads would con-
tinue. Many other contracts between
the railroads and the brotherhoods do
rot expire until December ], next.
The brotherhoods are seeking the
restoration of the 1920 scale, an in
crease of approximately 12 per cent
over the present wage.
