POWERS CONFER
ON YOUNG PLAN
Morgan Puts Pressure
on Belgium

GENEVA, May 6.-All the pow
cr5 were in conference today over
the compromise plan" of repara-
lions offered by Owen D. Young.
Final action now depends on the de-
cision of the French delegation.
which was in conference today at
the Bank of France discussing the
plan. The Belgians, who are the
only ones besides the French dele
cation who have not stated their ct
titude towards the plan, have de-
clared that they will give their posi-
ton aftersthe French have spoken.
j. P. Morgan is again personally
directing the work Of the confer
ence. This seems to indicate that
the, situation is again becoming a
difficult one for the American fl
nanciers who have been up till now
unofficially pulling strings. Morgan,
with Lamont, Young and Parker,
went into conference with the head
of the Belgian delegation, Emile
Tranquil. They are bringing pres
sure on the Belgians to accept the
compromise Offer" thereby weak
ening the position of the French in
event they should refuse acceptance.
The American delegation has indi-
Gated that they might favor locating
the proposed international bank in
Brussels. This concession to. the
Belgians undoubtedly is given as
an added inducement for them to
accept Young's offer.
Germans Accept Plan.
1t became known that the Ger
mans had accepted the plan with
reservations. The French use these
reservations as reason for delaying
their decision. The reservations,
unknown until today, "leaked OUT
through a member of the German
delegation. They are:
1. Germany asks that its rail
roads and industries be removed
from the yoke of the Dawes Plan
of reparations payments and that
no bonds or debentures be issued
with such basic national industries
as a pledge.
2. Germany will ask that some
machinery be established-probably
through the proposed International
Bank-which will not place the Ger
man government in a position of a
delinquent in case any future pay
msnts are defaulted.

Get Their Pound of Flesh.

PARIS, May UH.-Close study
of the compromise-which is now
being called the Young Schacht
compromise-shows that it comes
within about $714,OOO,OOO of the
highest total sum the Allies actually
expected to get as contained in the
memorandum presented at the eX-
perts' conference April 10.
The compromise plan provides for
progressive annual payments over a
period of 81 years, averaging about
$487, 100000. This would be fol
lowed by 20 more annual payments
averaging about 100000. There
would be one additional payment of
about $214;20O,00O.
The total in the April IS allied
memorandum would be about So
100000. The total in the German
offer of April IT would be about
$6,188, 100000. The total in the
compromise plan would be about
$8,687,O00,000, or some $714,O00,000
lower than the allied demands.

NOTED BUY SCOUT ENROUTE TO SEWARD
 ON ADMIRAL EVANS

Dick Douglas, Jr., Eagle Scout of Greensboro, North Carolina, and co-author of Three Boy Scouts in Africa, set sail from Seattle on the Admiral Evans" for Alaska and another adventure. He is one of the three Boy Scouts who last year went on an expedition to South Africa with Martin John son. Dicks present destination is Kodiak Island, Alaska, the home of the grizzly bear. He left New York on May 5th, travelled north to Montreal, and crossed Canada to Seattle, as the guest of Sir Hen ry Thornton, President of the Can- adian National Rvs, from which point he boarded ship.
 Tn his journey across Canada, Dick made special visits to Jasper National Park and Mount Robson. At Jasper, he went out over the trails of Canada's great national park, accompanied by members of the Royal Canadian M. Police Force, and Fred Brewster, famous Canadian guide. At Mount Robson, he visited the camp of George Hargreave, a well-known Rocky mountain guide, where he witness ed some bronco busting, horse branding, and the regular, spring roundup
 On the sea trip north, Dick will make stop-oVer at Juneau, Alaska, where he will meet Gov ernor Geo. A. Parks, and part Iicipate in some Boy Scout dem onStrations in the capital city. He will have a month or more of hunting and adventuring around Kodiak, under the wing of Captain Charles Madsen, famous Alaska guide and Siberian fur trader, who will personally conduct his ex- petition, for Kodiak Guides, whose guest Dick will be during his stay. Among the adventures planned for him is whale hunt. These often occur in the waters adjacent to Kodiak Island where whales are still captured in the exciting and dangerous old-faShioned method of hand harpooning. There will be fishing too,, and hunting for the Kodiak grizzly bear.
 The second big expedition of this sixteen year old Scout has served to focus the attention of Boy Scouts throughout the con- tinent upon him. All along his route of travel there have been special Boy Scout demonstrations in his honor, Having experienced the thrills of the South African safari, and the Canadian trip, with the Alaskan adventure before him, Dick Douglas will be one of the most widely travelled young adventurers in the great juvenile organization of America.

HOPES To END
HARDSHIP
IS AIRED
BY b. G. FORBES

Since the abolition of poverty
Is reported authoritatively to be
the main ambition Of President
Hoover, the country is likely to
hear much about Industrial Coz
operation and coordination to
reduce unemployment, about mea.
sures to deal humanely with those
thrown into idleness, about sick
ness insurance. old age pensions,
and other ways and means calcu.
lated to diminish poverty and to
mitigate the evils thereof.
Did you know that old age
pension systems have already been
adopted, on a more or less modest
scale, in no fewer than pine
States, and that other States are
expected to fall into line this
year?
Economic Waste
President Hoover, because Of
his training and his organizing
ability, is more likely to address
himself first to the complicated
task of bringing about voluntary
nationwide industrial co-ordifa.
leys of employment. He sees
gross economic waste in tae hap
hazard methods heretofore light
heartedly practiced by industry.
It entails economic waste-and
worse-to take on an abnormally
large number of employees at one
season of the year and then cast
them on the street when the sea-
sonal demand ends without giving
a thought as to what becomes of
them.
Some progress has already been
made by certain industries, and
still more progress by certain cor
pOrations, toward reducing tempo
rary peak employment and spread
ing seasonal demands over a
greater part Of the year. In
this way q larger permanent
force can be maintained, to the
benefit Of all.
More to Be Done
But infinitely more remains to
be done. Whether American in.
dustriaIists are alive to the gravity
and urgency of this problem Of
leveling employment, Of reduc.
ing unemployment and of taking
care Of those forced into idle.
ness, is open TO question. 1t may
be that President Hoover will
first use every influence at his
command to induce industry to
cooperate voluntarily toward this
vital end. II such efforts fail,
then 1t may be that he con-
templates governmental action.
The subject is one which should
be taken up actively and earnestly
by responsible business leaders.
