European Diplomats
See Settle ment as
American Victory

PARIS, Jan. 13.-For the first
time since German reparations have
been under discussion, the allies to-
day were in almost complete &C.
cord, it was said in diplomatic
circles.
The most important develop
ment Of the allied financial con.
ference, it was emphasized is that
America now is practically an "of-
ficial' participant in all reparations
problems.
America, in receiving IN per cent
Of the Dawes receipts, won a
diplomatic and legal victory
diplomats freely admitted. It had
been predicted that Great Britain
would contest strongly American
participation on the ground that
the United States had not signed
the Versailles treaty.
While Belgium would have liked
a much larger share than what
was allocated, the fact that it had
received priorities did not put it in
a position to demand more, experts
said.
All that remains now to make
Americas award Official and to
complete the work Of the confer
ence will be the adoption OF q
formal resolution at q meeting OF
the conference this evening.

NAVAL B|LLP PASSED
WITH PARLEY CALL
King Amendment Asks Cool
idge to Call New Arms
Reduction Conference.

Carrying as an amendment re-
quest for q second arms conference,
the naval appropriation bill was
passed by the Senate yesterday. The
amendment was offered by Senator
King of Utah.
At the same time Senator McKellar,
Democrat, Tennessee. offered a reso-
luton requesting the President to
inform the Senate if the last arms
conference treaty limiting the navies
of the great powers was violated by
Great Britain in the construction of
the Rodney and the Nelson, which
have been described in the Senate as
combination battleships and aircraft
carriers. The resolution went over
under the rules, but Senator Nick ellar
said he would press for early action
on 1t.
The amendment relating to a second
arms conference, which would deal
with both land and naval forces,
sponsored by Senator King, was ac-
oepted without objection by Chairman
Hale of the naval committee.
Opposition Fails to Appear.
While President Coolidge has in
dicated that he favored 4 second con-
ference, administration officials have
, 1rlrde it plain that he did not consider
the time appropriate. FOR that rea-
son administration Senator's had been
expected to oppose the King amend
mgpt.
While no formal explanation was
given, it was understood that these
Senators offered no resistance to the
proposal in the hope of expediting
passage of the bill. They had been
Informed that unless the amendment
was written into the measure there
would be a protracted fight from the
Democratic side.
A similar proposal. relating only to
Sea forces however, was Incorporated
in the last annual supply bill. but the
House did not include it in the pend
ing measure, and it is the expecta-
tion Of some Senator'S at least that
tho King amendment will be ellmi-
mated when the bill is considered by
; House and Senate couferees.
Call Left to Coolidge.
The King amendment, as approved.
suggests no time for the holding of
the conference. leaving that to the
0Ssretfon of the President.
Senator King said, privately, he
want to include Russia among the
nations to be invited TO the confer
ence, but that he had been told if he
did so his amendment would meet
with vigorous opposition. He added
that he still was hopeful that by the
time the conference was held there
would be a degree Of diplomatic re-
lations with Russia that would make
1t possible for that country to be in
Vited.
Final action had been taken on the
naval bill before Senator McKellar
offered his resolution concerning the
Rodney and Nelson. He presented it
for Incorporation in a resolution he
presented Tuesday, which would call
upon the President for information as
10 what steps had been taken to ar
bitrate the question of the elevation
of the guns on 13 American battle
ships against which Great Britain has
entered a protest on the ground that
1t would be aziolative Of the naval
Limitation treaty.
