 The Belgian Reply The Belgian reply says:
 "The Belgian government is pre- pared to accept the experts conclu- sions as a whole with a view to practical and equitabl solution of the separations problem. The statement adds:
 ''The indisputable competence of the members of the two committees, their objective aims and the cooperation of Americans have given their unanim- ous conclusions high moral import ance which the Belgian government is pleased to recognize. It hopes the reparation commission will give care full consideration to the drafts of the laws and decrees which it had asked the German government to submit to 1t and which are necessary for the complete execution of the experts plan.
 '"The Belgian government further hopes that the reparation commission will lose no time in preparing the measures the details of which were entrusted to it by the report, so that when this work has been carried out the details of which were entrusted to 1t by the report, so that when this has been carried out the plan recom- mendcd may be brought into prompt operation by common agreement among the allied governments.
 "The Belgian government is placing ! itself immediately in touch with these : governments"
 The reply Is signed by Premier Theunis and Foreign Minister Hy- ! mans.

Punish the
Whole Gang

NAVY experts fought against giving away
u. S. oil reserves. They said it would
be less disastrous if the government gave
away the Panama canal. Secretary of the
Navy DENLY must have known that he was
betraying these navy experts, because he
tried to keep the people from knowing what
was going on, and he permitted the removal
of objecting naval experts to far-off stations,
where their voices could not be heard
And Fall must have known that he was
betraying his public trust. He wrote Do
heny that he was ready to do business now
that the navy crowd had been pulled off
his back"
Other nations have been diligently hunt
ing and obtaining oil reserves for their
navies, while cabinet members in the United
States schemed to deliver the peoples oil
lands into the hands of exploiters, concerned
only with immediate profits for their bullying
pocketbooks.
Those in high office who try to smooth
over the whole sickening deal will be NOR
ally guilty of conspiracy against the public
welfare. To merely trap Old Man Fall is
not enough. Every man who played part
in this secret and dishonest business must be
driven from public life and punished as an
example to the whole tribe of greedy pa
trioteers who have worn a mask of integrity
while they robbed their people of a precious
heritage.
