An Empty Chair
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
SrriDns- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, June 16.-A va
cant chair represents the more than
500 900 100000 interest of the Amer
lean people in the $27 SOC, 900, 900
reparations and war debts parley
which began today at Lausanne.
The conference will try, first, to
determine If Germany really can
not pay reparations, as she claims,
and, secondly, what the Allies will
do about 1t if she can't. If she can't
they warn. they will not be able to
pay the United States.
The gathering, therefore, is of ut
most importance to America The
share of the average American citi-
zen in the full amount of war debts
is about $1,000. The share of the
average American family is approx
mately $500.
Despite these Stupendous stakes,
the United States will not send even
an unofficial observer. The position
of Washington is that the Lausanne
meeting is purely European affair
--inasmuch as America refused to
share in German eparations-so
Europe must do whatever she likes
about it.
Under the circumstances two out
comes are expected: First, the ex-
listing moratorium, due to expire
june 30, likely will be extended, thus
sffording the world little longer
breathing spell, and. second, a world
economic conference probably will
be called for a later date.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The stop

sented to the Republican con-
vention by Hoover hand-picked
resolutions committee was revealed
today as the Presidents personal
product.
Without his intervention, it gen.
orally is believed that the conven-
ton would have adopted
straight-out repeal plank. The
votes were on hand, according to
careful canvaSses.
But Hoover insisted on rewriting
the plank before he gave his ap-
proval.
He inserted generous concessions
to the drys, after preliminary
drafts had been dictated to White
House stenographers,

so as to include Only four real

He made a threatening appeal
before the committee and later
befor- the New York delegation.
He begged them to remember
that only by compromise could
the warning vets and drys be con-
ciliated.
I'VE can't drive the drvs out
of the party" said Representative
Bertrand H. Smell. of upstate
New York, who was Hoover's
personal choice for permanent
chairman.

Besides Mills, Brown and New

as James Francis Burke, general

BY SAMUEL DASHED
United Press stan Correspondent

LAUSANNE. June IS. -- Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald Of
Great Britain, just elected chair
man Of the Lausanne Preparations
conference to end PREPARATIONS" to-
day pleaded with the worlds nations
to settle the reparations question to
"avoid world catastrophe"
g we have me to-day in the
ehad of the most ominous eco
nomic crisis that ever afflicted the
world in peace time" Macdonald
said. The whole world looks to
lis to find an agreement to help end
existing distress.
Il repeat that in this there is no
France, no Italy, no Germany no
United States, no Great Britain
apart from the rest of the nations"
Macdonald said. None of us can
stay out of the work of restoration
and reconstruction, because none of
us can stay out of the miseries
which are gathering about us.
I'VE Must Agree
To-day we meet to consider one
part of the cause of our distress,
the wars financial inheritance, and
we must come to agreement"
Referring to the experts who met
At Basic and reported that inter-
governmental debts must be adj
f., justed, Macdonald said:
Il can but indorse this appeal, the
urgency of which has been sup
ported by all happenings since.
Engagements solemnly entered
into can not be satisfied by unilat-
eral reputation" Macdonald said.
"That principle, believe, will not
be challenged by anybody here. But
il carries with it corcllary-lt
there is default-to avoid engage
ments which proved incapable OF
fulfillment and which must be re-
vised by agreement"
we Can Not Act Alone
"a great opportunity now presents
Itsef to put our heads together ana
tn halt active influences now max
ing for general economic deteriora-
tion. If we do this, Europe can not
act alone" said Macdonald.
1--WE all must welcome the assur-
ance that after the present phase
is over the United States will en-
courage us to believe that she Will
co-onerate in the examination at
any rate. of wide problems, and join
lis in devising policy of mainte-
nance of civilization based on pros
peritv of all nations and obtained
by busy industry, international AK
change and full and happy lives en-
joyed by the masses"
After MacDonald's speech the
first plenary session adjourned I'M

case.
