POLITICS IN REPORT
ON EUR0PE'S FATE
Body Resembles Group of
Surgeons Cody Planning
Major Operation,
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Times Foreign Editor.

PARIS. Feb. 27.-As the Dawes
committee frames the report on which
hangs the fate of Europe for the next
hundred years, I don't think I ever
saw a more completely detached body
of men.
They exactly resemble a group Of
noted surgeons dispassiOnately plan
ming major operation to save des-
perately sick patient.
Not the slightest regard has been
paid to internal policies or politics Of
the nations interested. Chauvinistic
bowls of the press have been ignored.
1 am in a position to state au-
thoritatively the Dawes plan will be
a strictly business one.
France must choose between a busi-
ness settlement and a political settle
ment
Germany must choose between pay
ing or dying.
France must decide whether she
prefers payments or reparations to
Germany's full capacity or military
occupation Of the Ruhr and control OF
Rhineland railways.
Faces Alternatives
Germany must decide whether she
prefers to accept an international
system OF checking upon proper full
fillment CT pledges or loss Of the
Ruhr and economic, If not political
collapse.
The report will clearly demonstrate
Europe is doomed unless the. world
comes to her assistance with loans
sufficient TO stabilize finances.
have an eminent authority for
the statement the world will not in
vest big money in an armed camp.
Despite reports contrarywise. do
not believe Germany Will refuse to
accept the checking up system, as re-
fusa! would indicate she had no in
lention OF living up TO her agree
ments.
Nor do those in a position to know
believe France Will refuse to allow
the Rhineland and Ruhr railways to
be included in the Reich system, TO
serve as security, for a foreign loan
10 Germany.
Will Demand Guarantees
France will demand other guaran-
tees to replace these. but the commit
tee believes it will be possible to sat
isfy her demand.
France will also insist on guaran-
tees against German aggression in
some form, but the committee con-
siders this political question, thus
outside its province.

ing like a bearcat. He has pushed
through his financial reforms, thus
winning a free hand with which to
tackle the experts report. Andre

this week We were hailed by that
good scout Jess Walters, the genial

ticular fund does not flow in copious

Canadian Indians
Refuse to SCdb
(Bv Federated Press)

Vancouver, B. C.-The Native Sons
of Canada, the Indians, are proving
themselves, now as in the asst, eX-
cellent unionists. Not one Indian long
shoreman has broken from the ranks
of the strikers during the present
struggle. The Indians of British Co.
lumbia are the pioneers in the long
shoremen's union of this province.
Fifty years ago Indian longshoremen
of this port went on strike for better
wage conditions and won.
A British Columbia Indian writing
to the press on the longshoremen's
strike makes this interesting COM
ment:
Civilization has taught US lot Of
things, some good and some bad,
which can be illustrated in many
ways. Before l could talk the Eng
lish language in the limited way that
| can, | was unable in the Indian Ian
guage to swear; but today if | want
to swear l can do so in English and
that | can do to perfection; but the
saddest thing that the disciples of
civilization have tried to do, especial
ly in this strike, is to show the IN
dians how to be scabs, as has been
tried with no results on Vancouver
Island"

NOW THE DROP CURTAIN

The closing scene in the telephone
squabble drama is. now on the stage
and the final curtain is ready to ring
down.
Trustee Bert Horton is mailing out
the refund checks to subscribers, and
soon the much discussed (and cussed)
escrow fund will repose in the pockets
of thousands of different people and
be thing of the past.
Mr.. Horton has not had a soft snap
by any manner OF means. 1t is no
joke to properly apportion the money
ordered by the court to be returned
to subscribers, and to issue the neces-
sary checks for that purpose. But
he has been equal to the emergency
and made quick work of his job, and
no doubt his remittance will be as
welcome a little bit of "velvet" to
many as it was to the "Hired Man."

IS 1T RIGHT
FOR A COMPARATIVE FEW TO
HAVE SUCH POWER?
One Hundred Families Now Own or
Control Most of the Railways and
Industries of the Country
(By Federated Press)

Indianapolis Everywhere in the
world, especially in the ranks Of
youth, there is revolt against the
present semi-pagan social order of
selfish matrialism, autocratic exploi-
tation and strife" declared DR.. Sher-
wood Eddy of New York in an address
to the convention of the student volun-
teer movement, an interdenomination-
al body of college students. More
than 5000 of these church men were
present.
''Is it true that 'Ameria is all right,
at least SO per cent right'?" asked
DR.. Eddy.
Zone hundred families now own or
control most of the railways and a
large proportion of the IA basic in
dustries of the country" said the
speaker. "Turn now from this vast
concentration of wealth in the hands
of the few to the poverty of the meny
at the other end of the scale. More
than 100000 are injured in industry
in America every year, much of which
is preventable. Some 100000 are un-
employed from four to six months of
each year. Ten millions, who are now
living, will die prematurely of pre-
ventable diseases at the present death
rate, and the death rate of the poor
is three times as great as that of the
well-to-do.
"It is estimated that there are l.
100000 children at work who ought to
be in school. One-third of the moth
ers of labor are forced to toll to help
support the family.
"Take the question of exploitation
and autocratic control. Is there no
autocracy in industry when for rs
years, from 1881 to 1906, we averaged
1,470 strikes a year. The sources
from which this unrest springs group
themselves almost without exception
under four main sources, which in
clude all the others: Unjust distribu-
ton of wealth and income; unemploy-
ment and denial of an opportunity to
earn a living; denial of justice in the
creation, adjudication and in the adj
ministration of law; denial of the
right and opportunity to form effec-
tive organizations"
Analyzing the revolt of the world,
the speaker said it was "a revolt
against authority and against the ex-
ploitation of the many by and for the
few. 1t is a revolt against autocracy
in all it's forms-intellectual, political,
industrial and racial"
