diminish the land forces of the United
States and cOndone the burdensome
and dangerous land ornaments of
some Of the European states.
Behind all the discussions there
must be a will to peace on the part
Of all the nations. The future is be-
clouded, but it is too soon to lose
hope of progress toward the goal of
the American armament policy, or to
declare that this preparatory COM
mission may not after all ascertain
the lines that a subsequent confer
ence should follow. The regional
agreements supported by Secretary
Kellogg are in line with the Presi-

American delegation have been re-

military and naval budgetary ex-
penses should serve as a standard of
comparison to measure the arma-

most a frivolous expenditure Of time
to our delegation.

reads as follows: The criterion
chosen for each of the three main
categorier of ornaments should

we must, however. take into account
the influence which in each country

The general problem at best is
truly a complicated one that can be
settled only by concessions on all
sides and, above all, by keeping it
within the realm Of practical opera

BY HENRY T. ALLEN.

Commander of the American Army on the
Rhine.
The United States has taken more
advanced position than any other
country on the subject of general re-
duction of ornaments, whether they
be land naval Or air. Consequently,
it was a matter Of only ordinary con-
sistency that-we should send a. dele
CATION to the preliminary meeting Of
the preparatory disarmament COM
mission at Geneva. Yet, the question
has been raised in some quarters as
to American good faith there. To this
dispersion Secretary Kellogg's recent
address at Plattsburg is. in part. an
answer The Secretary makes it
plain that our interest Is not abated.
that our land ornaments are at a
minimum, that in the domain Of naval
ornaments we are ready, X the other
countries desire, to call another con-
ference supplemental to the Washing
ton conference of 1922. and that
regional agreements might be more
desirable than a world embracing
plan.
The radical differences that have
been manifested at Geneva were not
unexpected, but they led the head Of
the State Department to say: 1T
seems almost an impossible task to
draw up any plan which would be
acceptable to all nations. Nor is this
essential TO progress.
The French group. which includes
the little entente. had advanced and
supported formula that would in

Probably the most important phase of the
Dawes plan during the second year has been
the operation of the arbitral bodies, which
cost only some $4,000 gold marks $904S). A
series of decisions rendered on March "a
firmly fixed the fact that German obligations
under the treaty of Versailles were to be
met out of the annuities. If at all. There
are 10 provisions for arbitration in the Lon
don and Paris agreement, the most impor
tant being the board for disputes between the
PREPARATION Commission and Germany. Walter
P. Cooke of Buffalo was the umpire on this
board, and has now been succeeded by Thomas
Nelson Perkins. who exchanged his position
as American citizen member Of the Reparation
Commission with Mr.. Cooke.
An arbitral decision Of primary Importance
both to the Dawes plan and to international
public finance was announced on July s. Ac-
cordng to the protocol attached to the Lon
don agreement 1.-The rates of the assigned
duties on spirits. tobacco, beer and sugar
shall not be reduced by the German gov.
eminent without the consent of the commits
sioner" of assigned revenues. Germany pro-
posed to postpone increase of the beer
tax. Sir Andrew MacFadyean, the commits
sioner of controlled revenues, refused his as
sent, the ground that the postponement
would result in decrease of revenue. Ger
many denied his right to refuse and the
question was left to the arbitration OF
Dutchman designated by the president of the
Permanent Court Of international Justice.
The award was that Germany not free
to reduce the rates of pledged revenues with
out the consent of the commissioner, even If
income were not increased.

The third year of the Dawes plan, begin

States swing into third or fourth place as
a recipient of reparation.A Its share of the
total will be more than 100000 gold marks,
of which 900 will be paid on account
of army of occupation costs in arrears. In
addition there will be $4,000. 900 for claims and

Forks Road Would
 s}Be Help Right Now

We'll, a road from The Forks to this place, as outlined in last week s Times, would be no small benefit to Takotna and the people of this sec tion at this, time.
 The stoppage of -freighting opera tions on Takutna river, due to weather conditions which threaten blanket of ice at almost any old time, precludes almost all hope, of forwarding freight from McGrath during the remainder of the epen-waterf season.
 That freight could easily have been landed at The Forks, and from the latter place it could easily have been hauled here by tractor or teams.
 It is not contended that the latter method would be as cheap as the haul by water entirely.
 The construction of the road, how ever, would mean that merchants, mining operators and others of this section would have some assurance of being able to move most needed SUD- plies-that they would not be placed entirely at.the' whims of old Takotna river.
