PARIS PLEASED
BUT CAUTIONS

PARIS, April 10. = Although
touched by cautions hesitancy over
some clauses of the experts re-
port, the general reaction to the re-
port here has been one of satisfac-
tion.
"What will Germany do?" seems
to be the outstanding question as
France studies the report.
Copies of the report have been
delivered by the Preparations commits
sion to the representative of the
German war damages commission
for transmission to Berlin. Mem
bers of the reparations commission
are now studying the report and
have decided to hold an unofficial
meeting Friday to take up the ques-
ton Of action on the document.
This action will probably consist of
referring the report to the govern
ments concerned.

PARIS, April 10.-Plenty Of
time will be taken by the repara-
tions commission to review and d.
gest the reports of the experts com
mittees, headed by General Dawes
and Reginald MeKenna, which were
handed to that body late Wednes-
day. The commission is not likely
to act before the end of next week,
in view Of the necessity of the.
members consulting their respec.
tive governments, according to al
lied circles.
However, an inkling Of how the
commission may dispose of the
reports may be CLEANED by the end
of this week, and it is considered
possible that Premier Poincare,
Premier Ramsay Macdonald and
Premier Theunis may instruct their
reparatiens representatives to hand
over the experts documents to the
governments without previous de-
liberation. If such action were tax
en-, it would be- for speeding up the
settlement, or semblence thereof,
before the German and French
elections.
"The Dawes report is unanimous

FAMOUS PROSECUTOR
TO AID COMMITTEE
Francis ]. Heney to Assist in
Probe of Internal Revenue
Bureaus

WASHINGTON, April 10.-What
is being termed a political boom
has been exploded in the ranks Of
the senate special committee investi
eating the internal revenue depart
ment. This was brought about late
Wednesday, when Senator Gouzens
republican, Michigan, was joined by
committee democrats in a success
full effort to employe francis j.
Henry, of California, at the Michi-
gan senator's expense as special
counsel to conduct the committee
inquiry.
The resolution went through,
three to two, despite the reiterated
prediction of Senator Watson, re-
publican Indiana, chairman, and
Senator Ernest, republican, KEN
lucky, that the appointment Of
Henry, famous for many years as
a public prosecutor, meant anoth-
err senate undertaking" expedition
Senator King, Of Utah, and Jones,
of New Mexico, were the demo-
Gratis who voted with Senator Cou-
zens. 1t developed in the commit
tee discussion that the first sugges-
ton for a committee counsel had
come to Senator Couzens from Ser
ator Jones.
The Henry employment resolu-
ton landed onthe committee table
like a bomb shell, so far as Sena-
tor Watson was concerned. He
bluntly declared that he knew Henry
"well enough" to know that the
hearing would be turned into 6
t'muck-raking" if Henry was giver
chance" Senator Watson asked
Senator Couzens why he had con
suited with democratic committed
members on his plan and not witt
his republican colleagues"
Senator Couzen replied that hi
recognized no republican or 9th
er colleagues" when he was going
after government business"
When it was brought out tina
Senator Couzens, one of the riches
men in the senate, proposed to pa.
all Henry's expenses in connection
with the investigation, Senate
Ernest sharply questioned thu
propriety of that action. Senator
Jones, however, defended Senator
Couzens' action and Senator Kine
appeared to take the same view.
