Reicbstag Fight Over Adoption of
Agreement Expected to
End Thursday.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Assoca ted Press.
PARIS, August 25.-Owen D. Young
of New York is to serve temporarily
as agent general under the Dawes
reparation plan, probably for three
months, during which time he will
get the staff we'll organized and break
in his permanent successor. In this
work he will be aided by Rufus c.
Dawes, brothe- of Gen. Dawes. and
Henry NJ. Robinson, who, like Mr..
Young, served on the expert commit
tees, which drew up the plan.
Seymour Parker Gilbert, recently
under secretary of the Treasury, is
mentioned for the permanent post of
agent general. but in reparation cir
cles it Is said the selection has not
yet been finally made.
The reparation commission is ex-
pected to meet tomorrow to act on
the appointments which were vir-
tually decided upon during the Lon
don conference, but the meeting may
be postponed and in any case the
final decision will not be recorded
until after the London agreement is
signed. If at all.
Officially. the Dawes plan is inop-
erative pending ratification by the
French and German Parliaments and
signature of the agreement, which
has thus far been only initiated by
the negotiators.
Fight in Reichstag.
The French Senate will probably
reach vote tomorrow or Wednesday
but the Reichstag session is likely to
last until next Thursday. This is
causing anxiety, although the latest
information available to the repara-
tion commission members is that the
Germans will probably approve the
agreement regardless of the loud out
cries from the Nationaiists.
The appointment of an American as
q voting member of the reparation
commission is understood to be still
uncertain. James A. Logan, jr., the
American observer with the commits
sion. is favored for the place, but he
refuses to discuss the suggestion and
it is known that many of his friends
believe his considerable influence
might better be exercised by continu-
ing in his unofficial capacitxs, lsRYilg
another American to assume the vot-
ing power.
Rufus Dawes and Mr.. Robinson will
probably be the only important ap-
pointees to be named by Mr.. Young,
as the xarious governments will
choose their representatives and the
total personnel of the agency general
will not be large.

DarroW Says Wealth Proved
Curse in Lives of Loeb

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 25.-Character
analysis based on hereditary and en-
vironment was the theme of Clarence
s. Darrow today as he pleaded anew
before Judge John r. Caverly for the
lives of Richard Loeb and Nathan
Leopold, jr., co-kidnappers and muir
derers Of Robert Franks.
The weird. mad act" of the youths
was mentioned only incidentally as
the veteran of the American bar went
back OF the crime itself to trace from
childhood the Influences which had
surrounded his clients. The effects
of these he acknowledged could not
be told with certainty but limits Of
human knowledge were blamed for
that.
Wealth Partly Blamed.
Wealth denying no desire was 1.-The
terrible misfortune in this terrible
case" Mr.. Darrow said. and then he
took up the eases of each of the boys,
starting with Loeb. He spoke of him
as "Dickie" and said that the phan-
tasy of being able to produce a per
feet crime" grew naturally from the
youths habitual reading of detec-
tive stories, super-imposed upon a
brain forced like a hot house plant
to absorb book after book"
His parents might have done bet
ter II they hadn't had any money.

philosophical. She works in her
own mysterious way and we haven't
much to do with 1t ourselves. Let
us be honest with each other. We
all know youth is without thought
and without a care" and he drew
audible comment from his audience
as he added:
Quotes From Scripture.
"Congressmen. judges. lawyers
yes, even States attorneys-have in
youth done something that was
wrong. That they were not caught
is their own good fortune"
He quoted st. Paurs epistle: when
I was a child, 1 saw as a child, ]
spoke as a child. 1 thought as a
child. but when l became a man

ago." he said, but let US not forge,

Britain Worried by French-German
Trade Pact.

BY Cable to The Star ana CnicaRo Daiiy news.
LONDON. August 5.-The transit
tionaI period between the agreement
reached at the London conference and
actual application of the Dawes plan
is proving far more troublesome than
any one anticipated.
Suspicious long held in the back
ground are reappearing in new forms.
Offering complications not only for the
politicians in the work of making the
Dawes plan a practical instrument for
repara tions payments, but for the
financiers upon whom will fall the re-
sponsibility for floating the 100000
900 loan for Germany. British indus
try fears German competition, but feels
that it could cope with German indus
trialists if they were left to work out
their destiny until aided by france.
VIII Conclude Agreement.
France will conclude shortly trade
agreement with Germany. leaving
Great Britain's vital industries, such
as mines. iron and textiles, facing a
combination powerful enough to domi-
nate Europe. Fears are felt that this
combination will spread from CONNER
cial to government circles. with the
result that Prime Minister Macdonald
has decided to appoint an advisory
committee consisting of representatives
of the principal British industries to
assist and guide the government in
dealing with the new industrial COM
bination on the continent.
AS soon as the Dawes scheme be-
gins operating, the advisory COM
mittee will concentrate it's attention
on commercial treaties between Ger
many and the other allies analysing
the effect and the reach of the COM
bination and suggesting methods of
counterbalancing it. 1t is likely that
several of the committeeman will be
detailed to study the system of de-
liveries in kind and the character of
the investments made by the trans
fer committee under the Dawes plan.
Premier Herriot's success In Sc
curing approval of his work during
the London conference is very salts
factory itself. but his denial that he
offered to keep the British govern
ment informed of the details of the
commercial pact with Germany only
tincreases misgivings on this side of
the channel. AS matter of fact,
Herriot did not promise Mr.. Mac
Donald to keep him informed of each
move in the deal with Germany, but
agreed that negotiation Of a COM
mercial treaty between the Individual
allies and Germany should begin 81.
multaneously in November.
Assured Date Only.
Obviously Great Britain desired ts
follow this course in order to proven,
one nation getting ahead of all others
which would be impossible II all ne.
gotiations were begun at the same
time and proceeded along parallel
lines. Therefore Herriot was right
when he denied giving the British
government his promise to divulge
details of the Franco-German pact
his assurance relating only to the
date of the negotiations.
Labored efforts on the part of some
sections of the British press to prove
that America is still dissatisfied with

peared today. The Daily Mail again
declared that Wall Street financiers
