NOTE MAY GO TONIGHT.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 19.-The British
cabinet held protracted session this
morning at which the proposed rep
aration documents formed the main
topic of discussion Up to the early
afternoon 1t was still uncertain as to
whether the documents---the draft
reply to Germany and the accompany
ing note-would be forwarded to the
other governments, including the
United States. tonight
1t is understood that each of the
propositions advanced by Lord Cur
zen. who is the author of the note
was subjected to a searching exami-
nation by the members of the cabinet.
New Meeting May he Needed.
1t was still regarded as possible that
another meeting of the ministry
might be required before the pro-
posed documents were harmonized to
presented in the cabinet.

secretary for war. and the Marquis
cf Salisbury. >iord president of the
council. as we'll as Prime Minister
Baldwin himself. are especially anx-
hurt the susceptibilities of France on
any point while other members of
the cabinet appear to favor firmer,
more Independent attitude.
Secrecy About Negotiations.
1t has been agreed among the Brit
ish, French and Belgian foreign of
fees that no light shall be permitted
to emerge to the waiting public re-
garding the progress of the negotia-
tions. 1t also seems certain that
none Of the documents will be sub
raitted to public scrutiny until the
comment from all the interested gov
ernments has been returned and the
final modified text is in the hands of
Germany
From reliable sources. however, 1t
is learned that the draft reply will
furnish what Great Britain believes
to be an adequate basis for fruitful
discussion along the allies and an
ultimate accord on the fundamental
points of difference with France. In
the British view the propositions ad-
vanced will be of such a liberal char
acter that France cannot afford to re-
ject them without risking the dfsap-
proval of the world

of Germany's ability to discharge her

COMING AND GOING.

From the Los Angeles Times.
There Is an awful lot OF feverish
conversation regarding the burdens
imposed by a tariff, but the govern
ment experts are able to report that
out OF every dollar received by the
nation only 1856 cents comes from
tariff revenues. The internal rev.
enue collections, including the in
come tax. supply 72.15 cents of every
dollar taken Nin by Uncle Sam.
From other sources, including fees,
fines and penalties. 1920 cents Is
derived. The tariff is almost an
inconsequential source OF govern
ment revenue.
When Il. comes to spending the
public money It is naturally found
that we are paying most OF It on
tragedy. Twenty cents of every
dollar Uncle Sam takes in goes for
pensions and replacements. More
than 81 cents out. of every dollar
taken in goes to either pay the in
terest on the war debt or to provide
for its reduction and gradual retire
ment. The new army and navy are
costing us less than cents each out
OF every dollar received by the gov
eminent. That is a smaller proper
ton than the nation has known for
possibly go years. It Is a much
smaller proportion than Is now be-
ing expended on the upkeep OF
armies and navies by any of the
broken and impoverished peoples OF
Europe.
Thanks to the budget system.
which IS the gift OF the Harding
administration TO the country. the
taxpayers can tell with exactitude
where the government revenues
come from and how they are spent.
There need be no waste, because
every dollar must be accounted for
at both ends Of the hne.
There are many things 10 worry
about in this world. but America has
fewer Of them than any race we

An american Conference
ZION the washlngton Postl

A conference az home. which mas

quences as the conference OF pre-
miers at Paris, viii meet today In
Chicago. II is the conference OF the
committee OF operators and miners
dealing with the bituminous coal in
dustry. III this conference should
break UP without arranging a wage
scale for the unionized bituminous
coal industry 20 take effect after the
expiration OF the present agreement
on April I next. It is possible that a
paralysis OF greater proportions than
that OF last summer Will overcome
the industry and thereby strike a
deadly blow at the prosperity OF the
people OF this nation.
The United States GOAL Commits
sion at this juneture has sent a tele-
gram of solemn admonition 70 the
operators and miners committee.
urging II TO reach an agreement.
This telegram. signed by the chair
man John Hays Hammond. IS liter
ally the voice OF the government and
the people, warning both sides that
the nation expects them to keep the
mines in operation. NInasmuch as all
branches OF the bituminous coal in
dustry have promised the coal COM
mission their cooperation in the dis
charge OF its duties, the commission
is doing nothing unreasonable when
II now reminds them that coopera-
ton at this time Is essential TO the
industrial peace and welfare Of the
United States.
The telegram TO the operators and
miners committee ends as follows:
The commission. therefore. in the
public interest urges upon you the
obvious necessity OF promptly devils
ing some plan whereby the mines
affected by your conference will be
kept IN operation TO the end that the
revival of ell industry be unch ecked.

OF American economic life by reach
Ing a speedy agreement and avoiding

your control. Your agreement will
spare the commission the necessity
of fixing the blame for failure to ad-
just your differences"

} its Importance unless he recalls the
history Of the soft coal strikes, and
particularly that OF last summer
When Congress created the United
states Coal Commission It provided
that one OF its duties should be the
I Investigation OF the cause OF strikes.
I This IS equivalent to the creation OF
I an agency for the enlightenment and
concentration OF public opinion on
! this subject.
Therefore. II the commission
should be called upon hereafter TO
! investigate a strike in the soft coal
/ Industry. and should fix the blame, It
would be impossible for the side
which had been found Culpable TO
maintain its standing at the bar OF
public opinion. II would lose, and
with its fall from public esteem It
would be defeated in its controversy
with the other side. Indeed. the
chances would be very strong that It
would lose its case forever, for an
other strike In the fifteen unionized
hituminous districts would so arouse
the people that they would probably
strike down. once for all. the party
found 20 be guilty OF INJECTING this
terrible injury upon the body polite.
The remedy which the public
would demand in such a case Is diff
ficult TO foresee, because public opin-
ion, once aroused on such a subject,
might go much further than would
seem possible in peaceful times. The
American people are at once long
suffering and strongly rssentful.
They suffer injustice too long. and
when they rise to destroy injustice
they are apt 10 go too far.
The fact that the preliminary CON
ferences OF tho operators and miners
have failed 10 develop plan upon
which an agreement might be nego-
tiated IS an ominous shadow hang
ing over the conference that. begins
today But there is nothing in the
differences between the operators
and miners that is incapable of ad-
justment by fair-minded men indus
triously seeking a basis OF compro-
mise. There would be no excuSe for
failure that would satisfy the pub
lie. Failure 10 agree would create
an intolerable situation" Is the
m ensured warning sent by the com
mission TO the committee. such
failure would inevitably result in
most serious injury TO the general
business and common welfare OF this
country"
The eyes OF Americans are turned,
therefore, TO Chicago. and enter
prises OF vast magnitude are held in
allegiance until the country can know
for certain whether or not there is 70
be peace in the industry that under
lies so many other Industries.
