U. S. Voices Support Of

WASHINGTON, May Con
tinued support of the nationalist
government of China by the imper-
ialist powers is expressed in the
termination Of the arms embargo
agreement of 1919, through which
Great Britain, Japan, France and
other so-called "treaty" powers pre-
vented war materials from entering
China. The move came from the
foreign diplomatic corps in Picking.
United States support to Chang
Kai-shek is assured by Secretary
Stimson, who announces modifica-
ton of President Harding's arms
embargo proclamation of 1922,
which forbade the expectation of
war munitions from the United
States to China. The significant
modification will permit the dispatch
of munitions to China only on re-
guest from the reactionary Marking
government. The United States
thus takes the lead in the implied
promise of alliance with Chiang's
government, while European powers
and Japan are forced to follow.

new laws include women of 21),
partly as part of the campaign of
huge promises to the wives of the

influx of women in industry. Twenty
seven million will now be eligible
to go to the polls on May 80.

AGAIN TO
FIX DAWES PLAN
Reich Rulers Yielding
Several Points

PARIS, May 2.-Attempts to
reach an eleventh hour compromise
on the agreement which would turn
the conference of reparations eX-
perts from failure at least into a
technical success, were made this
afternoon when Dr. Hjaimar Schacht
returned from Berlin and went into
conference with his delegation at
the sumptuous Hotel George Fifth.
The fear of the sequences of
failure of the conference is forcing
the international bankers to pro-
pose an agreement.
j. P. Morgan, Owen D. Yong,
and S. Parker Gilbert had been con-
centrating during the past week on
bringing all pressure on the Ger
mans to accept the first draft OF
the final report of the conference OF
reparations experts. Schucht hac
been in constant telephone connec.
tion with Paris while he was con.
sulting with his government in Der.
lin.
1t was reported that he would
offer to pay reparations for a re.
duced number of years but with in.
creased annuities approXimating the
French demands for one billion eight
hundred million marks ($428, 400
000). This would seem to indicate
that the government at Berlin de.
cided to capitulate. This last pro.
posal with but small diff rences ap.
proximates the French demand. Botf
the French and the Americans how.
ever refused to discuss the pro.
posal.
Still Objections.
1t is also expected that the Ger.
man delegation will object to the
Foundations in the first draft Of
the experts report which puts the
entire blame for the rupture of ne.
gotiations on them.
Important sessions to consider
the new details will take place to.
day and Saturday. But no final de-
cision is expected until Monday wher
some of the French delegates will
return from their municipalities
where they went for election cam.
paigns.
Even should the conference adopt
the new German proposals it would
mean that the conditions of the Ger,
man workers will be still further re-
duced in order to meet the repara-
tions payments and yet keep Ger
many on a competitive basis in the
foreign markets.
