French Liberals Think Time
Ripe to Take Up Plan
to Aid Germany.
MUCH HOPED FROM VISIT
OF STIMSON AND MELLON
Washington and Paris Concessions
Would Save Berlin 231 Millions
Annually for Two Years.
BY PAUL SCOTT MoWRER.

BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, France, June 13.-French
Liberal circles, it is learned. are prepar-
ing to revive discussion of the emer-
gency plan for meeting on the rep
arations, war debts and disarmament
crisis, first proposed February l by the
French publicist and advocate Of
Franco-German friendship. Count Wlad-
imir D'Ormesscn.
The plan had already begun to call
forth favorable comment in both Ger
many and France when the sudden
springing of the Austro-German Gus
toms union project overshadowed mo-
mentarily all other questions and
rendered Franco-German conversations
temporarily difficult.
1t is now said, however, that this is
the only easy, practical plan thus far
proposed and that the moment is more
than ever propitious for its considera-
ton following the Anglo-German Con-
ference on Preparations at Chequers and
the Forthcoming visits to Europe OF
Secretary of State Henry l.. Stlmson
and Secretary of the Treasury Andrew
w. Mellon.
Many Advantages Seen.
The DOrmesson plan, which its au-
thor declares was long and slowly STU
died and meditated upon, Is believed
to contain many advantages.
|. 1t requires no change in the eX-
listing debt settlements of the Young
plan and thereby avoids the terrlnc
obstacle of long international debates
and perhaps even longer polltlcal oe-
bates in the various legislatures. 1t Is
an emergency measure to meet what
MANY regard as a temporary condition.
2. 1t gives real cash relief to Ger
many.
8 It insures to the United States
budget the continuance of consider
able part of the war debts which, II
a moratorium were put into effect as
under the Young plan and the debt
agreements. would be postponed en-
tirely just at time when 1t Is most
needed.
q. It links in a general way the queS-
lions of war debts and disarmament.
thereby meeting. at least theoretically,
the views officially and unoftlclally OK
pressed in Washington.
5. It prepares a basis for the sue
cess of the general disarmament con-
ference.
Germany in Throes Of Crisis.
6. 1t would represent, if accepted an
act of international cooperation the
psychological effect of which at the
present time of almost worldwide
gloom might mark the turning point
of the long drawn economic depression
and political agitation.
The plan starts with the assumption
that because of the incr- asingly inter-
national structure of trade and credit,
the fate of Germany is of vital interest
to all countries.
Germany is in the throes of a po-
litical and financial crisis. H inrich
Brueaing is the fist chancellor Ger
many has had since the war who has
the courage to tell the German people
the truth about theil own situation and
to face the inevitable unpopularity of
talking stringent financial matters.
Something must therefore be done. M

dollars in cold cash was expended for
rare books and manuscripts during the
New York book auction season just

Additional thousands were realized at
Chicago book auctions. recently insti-

also at some of the individual big prices
in a period which normally would be
expected to be dull.

as extra numbers in National Guard

have to be discussed in open meeting

posal would not be viewed with favor
by the various State forces. The Ma

not effect any appreciable savings

ELLIS ISLAND PRESENTS

Immigration officials Are Bringing

NEW YORK (NAN.A).-Ellis Island

have glimpsed the modern Land OF
Promise" has q changed aspect today.
Normally, one saw wide-eyed men and
women from Europe, with their shabby
suitcases and bundles filled with treas
ures. OF. clothing which they soon would
cast aside. Some of them wore tickets
stating the destination Of the newcomer.
Before them, they thought, were the
streets of gold.
But just now Ellis Island Is packed
to overflowing with sullen men and
women. Their clothes are those Of the
American, not the peasant, and they
need no dossiers Of the Travellers Aid
Society. They are going home, and very
unwillingly.
Quietly, without the fuss that for
merly accompanied useless raids on the
foreign quarters-those seized usually
being freed by the colirts-the immigra-
ton men are bringing in undesirables
by truckloads and trainloads.
Most of them are seamen who had
Jumped ship" and then applied for jobs
which might be sought by American
citizens. The minority includes the
criminals and the insane, who always
have been deported.
