Committees Maks
Progress on Plan

Continued from page one
Tuesday. The headquarters Of al
the delegations were active and ths
subcommittee labored several hours
on problems involving the economic
restoration of the Ruhr.
Premier Macdonald had unofficial
talks with several of the chief dele
gates whom he entertained at lun-
cheon at Chequers Court.
The task of arriving at an under
standing for economic evacuation
has proved complex, but although
there are divergent views between
The British and French and Belgian
delegations, it is asserted their diff
fcrences are not unsurmountable.
This committee probably has the
most difficult problem yet awaiting
solution and must review several
highly controversial matters involv-
ing the Ruhr railways and economic
evacuation Of the occupied territory.
The Subcommittee dealing wit,
the qquestion of the economic entity
of Germany at today's deliberations
mace substantial progress. Another
subcommittee dealing with the rail-
way question has encountered an
obstacle in the Franco-Belgian claim
to besaAowed to maintain some form
of communication between the Ruhr
and the Rhineland and France and
Belgium. 1t was decided to report
its failure to agree to the full com
mittee Monday.
1t is learned that the French want
TO dilute the German railway per
sennel with. a large number Of
French and Belgian railwaymen and
thus gsassure themselves that the
railways will BE more or less under
French supervision in case of a
strike of the German workers or
in other emergencies.
The British contend that if this
is done in c6njtEction with the
Dawes report it might easily give
rise to difficulties and conflicts to
which the French counter claim is
that if Germany adheres strictly to
the Dawes principles it never viii
be necessary to invoke the extraord-.
mary guarantees which France feels
her safety demands.

A much less passive sort Of per-

words and aggressive methods, is
John M. Nelson, the manager Of
Senator La Follette's independent
campaign.
Nelson, next to Nick Long

of scalp exposes rough-hewn
head, suggestive of ability to with
stand many bumps and to deliver
as good as is sent-even butting in
ram-fashion, with his head, when
feet and fists fail.
1t was Nelson who led the La
Toilette fight last fall for a revi-
sion of the House rules. He stood
up, unmoved, against the most
whitening and devastating cyni-
cism and satire the word wizards
of Congress could direct against
him.
He didn't care what the regulars
thought of him or his fellows, OF
what they called him, 50 long as
they amended the rules.
He checkmated every move tc
entangle him in parliamentary rec
tape, or to substitute for his pro
posals any political panacea of the
! "just-as-good" brand.
His bald head and bald speeel
were the highlights of that memor
