BRITISH STAND
MAY SKATER
DEBT FARLEY
The Hague Conference Is
on Verge of Complete
Breakdown.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press STAFF Correspondent


THE HAUGE, Aug. 9-The inter-
national political and Preparations
conference stood on the verge Of
complete breakdown today as re-
suit Of Great Britain's ultimatum
demanding complete revision OF
the young plan.
Political experts here feared that
unless Philip Snowden, British
chancellor of the exchequer, was
prepared TO suggest a solution to the
crisis which was brought or by his
own statements and demands at
Thursdays session the whole nego-
tiations would collapse.
No COMPROMISE, Is Edict
5noWden virtually declared Great
Britain would not compromise and
that before she would comment to
discussion of other matters she
would first have to be satisfied on
three important points in connec-
ton with the Young plaza change
in the reparations percentages in
favor of Britain, a revision of the
unconditional payments which Ger
many will make to the allied credl-
tor powers, and a reduction Of the
amount of deliveries in kind.
In fact, the situation appeared so
serious today that a number OF the
German delegates to the conference,
while reluctant to believe that the
British Labor party would be willing
to bear the responsibility for a COL
lapse of the current conference,
could see no way out Of the present
situation.
In summing up the crisis the only
thing the German delegates would
say today was that if fulf1llment
Of Snowdens demands envisaged an
increase in Germany's reparations
burdens beyond the Young plan, the
reich representatives we're not will
ing even to discuss the matter.
Suspicious Are Aroused
The suspicion of the Germans has
been aroused considerably through
the revelation that before the rep
arations conference in Paris the
British, Italian and French financial
experts held a conference in Lon
don to discuss methods of procedure
and that they had reached a gen.
eral agreement.
This fact came TO the surface
Thursday night when Snowden de-
clared that the delegates to that Sc
cret conference had promised that
the Young plan would not change
the existing Spa agreement regard
ing the distribution of separations.
Henri Cheron, French financial
minister, sprang to his feet and told
Snowden that he did not know Of
any such agreement. The Italian
delegate, Signor Pirelli, asserted,
however, that Snowden had miSun-
derstood the agreement then
reached.
All of which left the German del
egates wondering what the confer
ence, of which apparently they had
heard for the first time, dealt with
besides tie distribution OF repara-
lions and left them more Oh their
guard then ever before.

REDUCED GAS RATES

City council at its meeting last
week slashed into the gas rate to
the extent of annual savings to con-
sumers of at least $4,000, and at the
same time ordered a payment of
$4,000 on the old debt owing the
Columbia Gas Supply Co. This is GER
tainly good news to all Hamiltonians
and especially so the latter action,
as that old debt is a sort of annoy
ing itch" or "sore BOIL" and every
dollar paid on it is heard of with
much pleasure.
The action of council was on the
recommendation of City Manager
Russell P. PRICE, and though the saw
ings to individual users of gas is not
great deal, yet saving, no mat
ter how small, is better than a loss.
1t shows the department to be in a
healthy condition financially and with
no need for increasing rates, as was
limited at, in fact declared positively

country. 1t is proposed that the plan
be abolished and that labor disputes
be settled by the various states.
Industrial peace has been establish
| ed, human relationships have been
lsembittered, court awards are disre-
garded and judges are brought into
disrepute.
The Australian system is of spe-
cial interest to the United States be-
cause of the compulsory arbitration
wave that swept over this country h
quarter of century ago. Even 10
years ago, following the armistice, the
principle was loudly proclaimed.
Governor Allen, of Kansas, was it's
most prominent champion, and Sc
cured its acceptance by the legisla-
ture of that state. Senators Poindex-
ter, of Washington; Meyer, of Ore
gon, and Sherman, of Illinois, urged
this theory.
The public press was practically
unit in its defense, and Australia
was depicted as land of industrial
harmony.
The American Federation of Labor
was the single organized opposition
to compulsory arbitration. 1t stood
alone against this attempt to Off
| clally create classes in this country.
1t did not deny the right of any other
country to pass any law it elects, but

would permit public officials to set
wages or working conditions, and to
sit in judgment whether employees

No one today will acknowledge he
favored such scheme-neither will
he give organized labor credit for
blocking the vicious proposal
But the record stands-just as in
reduction of hours, increased wages,
improved work conditions, opposi-
tion to child labor and every other
social advance that the trade union
movement started, despite antago-
! nism of those who later favored COM
pulsory arbitration and the passage
of "cant-strike" laws.
These facts should be recalled by
workers when they oppose the issu-
ance of injunctions in industrial dis
putes.

noted.

FAVORS CRITICISM, IF

Mussolini assures Italian people
that he welcomes criticism, but-the
fundamental principles of Fascism
must not be discussed.
Or, in other words, citizens may
criticise minor actions or the con-
duct of some inconsequential official,
but they must not point out that the
Fascist philosophy-with it's exalta-
ton of the state-is the oppositA of
democracy.
The state is supreme under Fas-

lieve are inherent in man are grant

says: "The sliding rate, greatly bene-
fitting consumers who use the most
