RENTER POINCARE of France
- begins to raise obstacles to full

- begins to raise obstacles to full
filment of recommendations of
the Dawes financial commission,
which sought and has found--in the
opinion Of the leading minds the world
over-a method by which Germany may
pay her reparations bill and the con-
tinent of Europe once more set going
economically and financially speaking.
With his hedging on the removal of
established sanctions in the Rhineia1d
and the Ruhr, with his attempt to pick
reparations payments, with his effort to
link such payments with debt cancella-
tion-through which no nation save
France can proft-the French premier
at once causes conjecture as to whether
France again, as in various conferences
between allied statesmen since the treaty
Of Versailles, will prevent concerted
agreement and permit France to exploit
the prevailing European situation to her
own ends-at least follow her own die
tates in the application Of purportedly
needed panaceas.
Other Powers Agree.
England has agreed to the experts
report on reparations. Belgium and
Italy likewise have voiced their fa-
vorable interest. Entirely contrary to
expectations, the German govern
ment itself has quickly and freely
consented to the adoption of the
Dawes recommendations and has
agreed to hasten construction of ma
chinery through which recommended
| tions may be put into effect at the
earliest moment. Only France, if her
standpoint is made clear by Poincare,
will take advantage of the situation
and delay speedy favorable conclu-
sions. In view of this situation sew
eral conclusions necessarily are drawn
as to the future of the Dawes pro-
posals. They are:
| France must bend her desires more
other powers or the Dawes commits
sion plan will prove sterile.
Poincare must fall into line, else
France will face isolation on the con-
tinent. IL not the political world.
German compliance will prove Ber-
Inns good faith and put the burden
of defense upon France, thereby prov
ing the German contention as we'll as
the British, that France merely has
sought to preserve her own national
istfc interest by continued disor-
ganization in Germany and elsewhere.
Many Pitfalls Ahead.
| II Poincare is sincere there are
many pitfalls ahead of not only the
Dawes report, but France as well,
for there is every Indication tina
Belgium is falling away from the in
transigeant attitude of Paris and is
more inclined to listen to the British
viewpoint, as long as Belgium's share
of the reparations account IS made
certain. Most certainly Belgium is
willing to listen to any proposal
that will permit restoration of her
commerce. thing now impossible by
virtue of the impasse which has ex-
listed as a result Of dilatory settle

CONGRESS CUTS
APPROPRIATION
FOR BIG DISTRICT
Secretary Alworth of District Opti-
mistic Over Future of Big
Reservoir District.

Failure of the present congress 10
provide an appropriation for the
American Falls project would not
cause abandonment of the enterprise
and probably would not cause delay
OF more than two years in the COM
pletion OF the undertaking, according
to w. r. Alworth, secretary of the
American Falls reservoir district
board of directors, says the twin
Falls News.
Possibility of failure on the part
OF congress In this regard is seen in
some quarters in the omission of APP
preparation for the American Falls
project in the interior department
appropriation bill reported TO the
house of representatives Thursday
by the house appropriations commit
tee.
Expenditures of the district
since its organization last spring
aggregate only about $4,000
Mr.. Alworth said. and most OF
the expenditure has been for rec
ords of permanent value to the
district, even II the reservoir
district were delayed for a pc
riod of years.
The districts bond issue OF So
700 900 voted last spring for par
ticfpation in construction of the res
ervoir and purchase OF storage wa
ter rights provided by IL. mas not
been offered for sale, and according
TO statement heretofore made by the
district administration. the bonds
will not be put on the market, in
any event, until such time as the
state supreme court shall have pass
ed upon the validity OF the issue.
thus tending to enhance its market
value and effect a saving TO the dis
trict.
Opposition TO appropriations for
the reclamation service in particular
to the advancement of funds for the
American Falls project is regarded
in some quarters as result of sgi-
tation following the dismissal OF A.
p. Davis as director OF reclamation.
Reports Of hard times in irrigated
regions circulated in connection with
agitation for postponement OF pay
ments TO the reclamation service.
freight rate reductions and other
causes. also are believed to have put
weapons into the hands OF enemies
Of the reclamation program.
