BRITAIN FIGHTS
PROPOSED CUT

Fear Effect on Voters If
Conservatives Accept
Reduction.
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL
United Press staff Correspondent

PARIS, May 8.-Britain's domeS-
tic politics may provoke a new
crisis in the already Shaky confer
ence of financial experts who are
trying to find solution to the post
war economic problems.
Although the conference was re-
sumed today without any outward
evidence of a new danger to its sue
cess. it developed that the British
dedication, headed by Sir Josiah
Stamp, might oppose Owen D.
Youngs new compromise plan by
which, it was hoped, an agreement
between Germany and the allies
would be reached.
British conservatives would not
be happy to face the voters IN the
impending general elections after
accepting further reductions in It's
reparations share of 100000 600
Stamp told a. group OF British
journalists today that he would OPP
pose the Young compromise plan II
it considered reducing Britain
quota.
On top of the French and Belgian
GOODNESS toward the new Young
project, this latest development does
not augur we'll for the success OF the
conference. Nevertheless, Young
continued in the hope Of overcoming
even the latest obstacles.
Young distributed a supplement-
airy memorandum today tending to
explain how he arrived at the figures
contained in his compromise plan.
Tt was assumed that he indicated
how the reparations should be di-
vided among the chief creditor pow
ers, and it was this phase OF the
memorandum which may stir up all
the trouble among the British dele

PRESIDENTS UNOFFICIAL
SECRETARY UNDER FIRE
Seek to Force Walter Newton to
Resign Seat in House.


BIZ ScrippS-H OtCdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 8.-Pressure
is being brought to bear on Repre-
sentative Walter Newton Of Mime
sofa to resign his seat in the house.
The pressure is coming both from
Minneapolis, the district Newton
represents, and from senate and
house members.
Newton has often been referred to
during the present session of con-
gress as the most powerful man on
the floor. He is occupying unoffi-
cially the post of secretary to the
President, but draws only one sal
airy, that as representative in con-
gress. He comes directly to the
capital from his office at the White
House.
Some critics contend that to have
Newton continue in this dual capac-
ity is violation of the spirit of the
Constitution.

NIPPON ACTOR REFUSES
TO ACT OPPOSITE WOMEN
Koshiro Matsumoto Prefers an En-
tirely Masculine Cast on
Stage.

Koshiro Matsumoto, an outstanding
actor of the japanese stage. whose per-
formances in the Imperial Theater have
charmed thousands, has announced
that hereafter he will never act In any
play in which an actress takes part. He
says that his conscience will not per-
NIT it, because the presence OF women
on the stage is insulting to him as a
first-class actor.
For the most part, the roles Of women
are taken by men in all the traditional
or Kabuka dramas. Some men who are
adapted for such parts train for them
all their lives and play nothing but
female characters There are occasions.
however, when actresses still have parts.
and it has been the custom in the I'M
perial Theater management to include
one or tive in every bill.
Matsumoto has taken part In these
from time to time, playing opposite
some feminine character. The actor
said, when asked to explain further his
sudden outburst against actresses, that
the lines which he had to say when
talking to them were too foolish, and
he preferred to play in the old type OF
drama. where men did more with their
swords than with their tongues.
