With Conservatives.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
BERLIN, January 23.-Christine
Teusch, clerical member Of the
Reichstag, created a sensation today
when she declined, on behalf of the
liberal-radical woman deputies, to be
photogra phed with the Conservative
woman members. Photographers here
tofore have had all the woman depu-
ties pose in a group, but this war
declaration of the radical Amazons
on their sisters in the Nationalist
camp apparently puts the picture
taking ensemble out of business.
Frau Teusch, aged SO. is former
school teacher, who is now executive
secretary of the women's section of
the Federation of Christian Trade
Unions. She belongs to the radical
wing Of the Clerical party, headed by
f"rmer Chancellor Joseph Wirth.

Secretary of State Hughes has

This was divulsed by several

chairs in the cabinet room for
nearly half an hour. while the
secretary of State had one of his

pathy and admiration which has always
peeh felt Tor the heroic poilu. But that
picture has been to a large extent over
shadowed by the scramble for the
spoils OF war engineered by the French
politicians, SO that now Congress is dis
posed, as did Senator Borah. to ask
What were the assets which France ac-
CURED since the war. It is not forgotten
that besides Alsace- Lorraine with its
valuable mineral resources. the French
added materially to their colonial
wealth.
Reputation Plan DiSIiked.
II the French had taxed themselves
as effectively as did the Washington
government with respect to the
american taxpayer. there would also
De at this time a feeling that per-
maps the burdens OF the war were not
being evenly distributed. The last
straw, however, which has interfer-
ed with any sentimental considera-
tion and has stiffened the attitude of
Washington so that ii may affect the
terms that are finally made is the eff
tort to repudiate their war debt
Ihis is no longer disputed, In spite Of
the official denials from Paris. and
Congress has very definitely in mind
the idea now that the French are
not developing viii to pay. 1t took
the Germans a long while to reveal
the will to pay, and they argued at
the time that they did not have the
capacity to pay
The French are insisting that for
sentimental reasons they should not
be obligated to pay. The critics in
the American Congress, on the other
hand, are beginning to throw on the
screen facts and figures indicating
that the French have the capacity to
pay all their debts If they will but
exert themselves by taxation. Nat
urally, French public opinion is
against further taxation and. like the
British people, will not look with en-
thusiaSm upon the American bill col
lector. who Indirectly increases taxes
The situation hinges however,
upon the damage to French credit
that may ensue ii the French gov
eminent prOcraStinates in settling
her debts with America. Already pub
lished reports from New York indi-
cate that financial concerns are affect
ed in their decision to float certain
bond issues for the French because
they fear an adverse opinion among
American investors. The French
have more to gain by arranging to
pay their debts than by indefinite
delay.

Calls War No Help.
DR.. Julius Klein, director of the
United States Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, in addressing
the conference yesterday afternoon,
discussed the economic aspects of
war. declaring that there was in the
world now "a growing appreciation
of the fact that lasting commercial
success is not to be achieved by the
brutal tactics of war"
1T is slowly becoming evident" he
said, that economic recovery from
the devastating wastes and disorders OF
lSl4-20 can only be obtained by re-
storing trade to normal channels,
which must wal. upon a long after
math of readjustment forbearance,
and, above all, the elimination of the
trappings and psychology of war
from the realm of trade"
Speakers last night included: DR..
Alfred E. Zimmern, Columbia Untver-
i,, In
ternational finance, and DR.. Frank J.
Goodnow, president of Johns Hopkins
University.
Gets Into Senate.
The conference caused a ripple on
the surface of the Senate yesterday
during one of It's calmer moments.
when Senator RansdelI. Democrat,
Louisiana, sought TO have printed In
the Congressional Record an address
delivered at the opening session of
the meeting by Judge Florence Allen
OF the Supreme Court of Ohio.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, objected to the insertion
of the speech in the Record unless 1t
was passed upon by the printing
committee of which he is chairman,
but suggested that he would with
draw his objection if the Louisiana
Senator would take responsibility for
the address.
That is an unprecedented stand"
declared Senator Ransdell. aside
from the fact that every Senator has
availed himself of this privilege, 1
thought this body was composed of
chivalrous men"
There was applause in one of the
galleries, and a warning was voiced
by the chair.
Senator Ransdell then started to
read the speech to get il into the
Record and Senator Moses withdrew
his objection. The Louisiana Senator
explained that he heard the address
delivered and agreed thoroughly with
its premises, relating to "a cure for
war"

the effort to reconcile British and
American opinion.
As the disagreement between Mr..
Porter and Viscount Cecil is under
stood here, it has to do with the strong
feeling of the head of the British dele
cation that it would be useless to sup
press production of non-medical opium
in territory under British control until
opium production in China has been
controlled.
Mr.. Porter's insiStence upon an
agreement to stamp out opium produc-
tion is based upon a belief that due to
chaotic conditions in China it would be
hopeless to await control of opium pro-
duction there.
In the absence of more complete ad-
vices from Geneva. the State Depart
ment declined today to comment on
the present situation.

AMERICAN BANKERS FIND
PARIS PRICES MODERATE
Chamber of Commerce Delegates,
Held Billionaires In Belgium,
Paid Peak Rates There.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, July 4.-High prices in the
restaurants and hotels OF Paris seemed
quite moderate to the trainload of
American bankers and business men
who arrived here last week from
Brussels, where they attended the
sessions of the congress OF the Inter
national Chamber of Commerce
They arrived in time for the grand
priX, when prices are at their peak,
but they did not mind for they had
been heralded in Belgium after
travelling from America on the liner
George Washington as a boatload of
billionaires. They found Belgium on
gold basis so far as they were con.
cerned
Shaves cost the equivalent of 40
cents. hair-cuts were S1.25 and meals
from 81 up. The Americans found
the explanation in the popular Eu-
ropean supposition that people from
the United States have all the gold
in the world and do not know what to
do with 1t.
When the party from Brussels
reached Paris and got lost In the
crowd of all nationalities where none
called them hillionaires they were
able to drop back to normal world
prices.

The erection of a sign by the
