KING DOLLAR FORCES
EUROPE UPON KNEES
Loan to Germany and U. S. Bank
ing Support of the Franc
Found Necessary.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

By Radio to The Star.
PARIS, May 24.-While the newly
elected majorities in both Paris and
Berlin have been struggling this week
with the problem of forming cabinets
and determining policies. they have
discovered to their discontinue that
the real capital Of both countries is
not Berlin or Paris, but New York.
Germany's nationalists, who won
office upon a platform of rejecting the
Dawes report, find their hands tied.
If they reject the report they cannot
get foreign loan, and as the Germans
treasury stands today a foreign loan
Is absolutely essential.
The Cartel des GaucheS in France
won the elections on the promise to
reduce taxes. But the first thing they
discover on looking into the books Is
that If taxes are reduced Amerlcdn n
banking support of the franc, which
was granted with the knowledge and
informal approval of the American
government, will be withdrawn and
nothing but a miracle can save the
franc from collapse.
Favor Dawes Report.
Therefore Germany's new govern
ment will swallow the Dawes report,
which will not be difficult because
most Germans want to see 1t adopted,
even the nationalists, who are chiefly
interested in seeing the Ruhr evacu-
ated. But NJ. Herriot, who now seems
to be the most likely choice for
premier. is in serious pickle His
own party, Radical-Socialist. will of
course, accept as gracefully as pos
sible the need for maintaining M.
Poincare's taxes. But what of their
Socialist allies who made Herriot's
victory possible? They stood against
Poincare's taxes to the last ditch and
there is no reason to suppose they
will accept them with better grace
when proposed by M. Herriot.
Already, therefore, there are signs
of a deep rift in the Left ranks. 1t
may seem a far. cry to prophesy an
eventual coalition between the Cartel
des Gauches and the Bloc National,
which the Cartel so recently defeat
ed But nevertheless the writer be-
lieves that if the Socialists adhere
to their electoral program this is
bound to happen before many months,
just as it is practically certain that
as soon as the British Conservatives
feel the time is ripe for general cleo
tions Asquith's Liberals will switch
to their side and turn out the
Laborites.
Unite Against Socialism.
What is apparently happening
throughout Europe is a gradual unit
ing of Conservative and Liberal
parties into a solid bloc for check
ing socialism with the aid of Amer
lean gold.

Two of the planes-all-metal mono

At Spitzbergen. which the flyers eX-

meet Amundsen. From the Arctic base
the three machines will then try to make
the top of the earth in a dash without
any intermediate stop.
At the pole the supplies of gasoline
and food of one of the three planes will
be divided between the other two. one
of which will attempt to fly back to

that the Pan-German elements in Ger

or by proxy. become the masters of
Germany and find other countries wal

The experts plan pre-supposes COM
plete good faith on Germany's part.
But experience shows that German
good faith Is never spontaneous, but
is determined only by stern necessity
If Europe is disorganiZed, Germany will
not yield. Who knows If she will not
turn from passive resistance to active?
That is tomorrows great danger.

BERLIN. September 5.-on arriving
in Berlin last night to begin the work
of executing the London reparations
agreement and putting into effect the
Dawes plan, Owen D. Young, tempo
rary agent general for reparations
payments, expressed great satisfac-
tion over the fact that s. Parker Gill
bert, jr., of New York, had been
named permanent agent general
I'VE could find no better man to
undertake this difficult and burden
some task" said Mr.. Young. "His ex-
perience. impartiality Of judgment.
clearness of mind and unself1sh spirit
are guarantees of a successful ad-
ministration."
Mr.. Young declared that it was the
spirit behind the Dawes plan, and not
the plan itself, which was important
for the world. as no plan could sue
ceed if interested nations were not in
a mood to make it work.
Germany. / am happy to say, Mr..
Young continued, has taken its first
step with a payment to the agent gen.
eral of 20,o00.000 gold marks. This
has been done with a promptness
which sets good example. l am
sure the next step by the allies VIII
be taken with equal promptness.
Mr. Young said it was his purpose
to have only a small organization of
highly competent men to carry the
Dawes plan into effect He expressed
a determination to do everything in
his power to prevent complicated or
unwieldly organization.

HIGH PRICES SHORTEN
TOURISTS GERMAN STAY
Officials and Hosts Seek Means to
Cut Costs So Business
Will Return.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, September 5.-American
tourists are coming to Germany again
IN sufficient numbers to arouse the
hope that possibly by Fall this busi-
ness will again assume proportions
some thing like normal.
But where the tourists spent weeks
or months in Germany a year ago
during the imitation period of the pa
per mark, they now remain a com
paratively short time because of the
high prices Since the introduction
OF the rentenmark last November the
cost Of living has risen two or three
fold what it was when the printing
presses had much difficulty in keep
ing up with the demand for paper
currency.
Government officials and represent
atlves of the hotel keepers as
sociation have been working for
months upon plan designed to re-
duce the cost of travel and living in
Germany for tourists. but yet no def
mite conclusions have been reached.
Tourist agencies which were oper-
ating sightseeing cars from Stras-
bourg to Cologne by way of Mayence
and through Coblentz, Bonn and
other historic points along the Rhine,
have abandoned the service because
of the high prices for meals and
rooms in German hotels and the re-
fusal of travellers to meet the in
creased rates.

Walter johnson,
Shows Coolidge
HOaU CurDes Start

Walter johnson, with a base ball
in his right hand, showed Presi-
dent Coolidge today just how he
holds the ball when he pitches his
famous curves. and the President
in turn took the ball and copied
Johnson's finger hold on it, and
then showed how he used to hold
the ball when he played on the
lots as boy in Plymouth.
This all happened on the grounds
in the rear of the White House
this afternoon when the Washing
ton Base Ball Club, headed by
Clark Griffith, it's president, called
on President Coolidge to pay re-
spects and receive his congratula-
tions for it's showing and receive
his good wishes for success on its
Western trip.
The President shook hands with
each player. and as they stood
about him he told them he hoped
they would be able to bring the
pennant to the Capital and that it
would give him great deal of
pleasure to attend a world series
game and to root for them. The
President then singled out Walter,
who was standing at one side, and
asked him il he would show him
how he grasps the ball for that
curve for which he is so famous.
A base ball was quickly produced,
and the great pitcher gave the
President a demonstration.
A group picture was taken of
the President and the members of
the base ball team.
