It is on the consideration of such an eventuality that the principal obstacle has arisen
of such an eventuality that the principal obstacle has arisen to the arrangements tentatively outlined at Chequers. French anxieties and suspicions appear to have been justified by a tendency on the part of British officials to take too much for granted. The acceptance of the Dawes Report by the French Government was taken somewhat too lightly assumed to be inclusive of the special guarantees that no French Government can concede without imperilling its position. It is sufficient to remember that M. Poincaré gave his approval to the Report of the Experts; yet no one would have dreamt that he thereby
Experts; yet no one would have dreamt that he thereby sacrificed the sanctions against Germany that formed the cornerstone of his foreign policy. M. Herriot, with all his devotion to the cause of peace and his readiness to accept any compromise that would help Europe towards a final settlement, could not abandon a jot or a tittle of the French guarantees of security. There is another aspect of the controversy, now ended—it is hoped. It resides in the fundamental difference between the French and the British manner of conducting affairs of State, due to the peculiar characteristics of Latin and
of State, due to the peculiar characteristics of Latin and Anglo-Saxon conceptions. The French mind calls for a clear and comprehensive presentation of policy; the British method is to deal with every situation by itself. Therein lies the necessity of finding a formula combining the French view of reparation, Allied debts and security—all forming one connected entity—with the specific proposals contained in the Dawes report. Let the Conference deal only with reparation; but let it be connected with the two other items by formed and specific provisions, and French sentiment will be satisfied, without prejudice to the Plan itself. Such
will be satisfied, without prejudice to the Plan itself. Such are the lines upon which any agreement between the two Premiers must be based to be acceptable in this country. Yesterday, a feature of the racing in England was the appearance of nineteen-year-old Patrick Donoghue as jockey on the same card as his distinguished father, Steve Donoghue, that ace of English riders who flies to Paris on many a Sunday.

that the Premiers will fail to reach an agreement, though on what lines it cannot conjecture. The Daily Herald is informed that a formula, satisfactory to the French Opposition, was elaborated last night. But it is not clear whether Mr. MacDonald can accept it entirely. Condemning on the publication of the correspondence relating to the proposed Conference, the Westminister Gazette finds good cause for French suspicion of British motives. It considers that it was a grave blunder to fix the date for the cessation of economic and financial sanctions. The Financial Times comes to the conclusion that Mr. MacDonald realized
Financial Times comes to the conclusion that Mr. MacDonald realized somewhat precipitately that M. Herriot was in danger of falling, as a result of the blunders committed in London; hence his confused statements in the House just before he left for Paris. The Evening Standard had already suggested the same idea in blunter language, declaring: "Mr. MacDonald's invitation to Paris is intended to maintain M. Herriot in power, at least till the Conference is over." The Star thinks that the trip will do Mr. MacDonald a world of good. Mr. MacDonald, it says, is under the illusion that any "intellectual"
MacDonald, it says, is under the illusion that any "intellectual" can tackle problems of foreign policies, just as Lord Curzon thought himself specially fitted for the task because he is an aristocrat. Most of the leading papers appear to be hopeful of a solution in Paris, but are lost in conjecture as to the forms that the arrangement will take. Fresh Comment. The Herriot-MacDonald interview, and what its results may be, for instance the leading topic of editorial comment in the Paris papers this morning. "Pertinax," who played a leading part in arousing public opinion to the gravity of the
part in arousing public opinion to the gravity of the issue debated at Chequers and homologated in the British memorandum, writes in the Echo de Paris that there is a chance of repairing blunders prejudicial to the interests of France if the two Premiers are thoroughly awake to requirements that France cannot ignore or concede. But Mr. MacDonald's latest statements -- in the House of Commons do not inspire much confidence. The result will be known today in any case, he declared. Senator Henry de Jouvenel Says in the Matin: "Let there be no separate plan. There must be a
"Let there be no separate plan. There must be a Franco-British plan before the Conference, or no Conference. There is no room for another discord between British and French." M. Saint-Brice in the Journal argues that the very length of the discussion between the British and French statesmen shows that they are going down to the very root of the trouble, and he believes that ingenious experts will find the right formula. M. René Lara thinks, in the Gaulois, that M. Herriot should be grateful to those who opened his eyes to the dangers of easy conciliation, which would have
eyes to the dangers of easy conciliation, which would have brought the Conference to a disastrous set-back. The Radical will not be satisfied with nice words and vague promises; only clear and solid certainties, something tangible, that will safeguard the rights of France. The Quotidien insists that everything was going well till the "mischievous" interfered. Tour of America Asked for Wembley (Paris Times Special) LONDON, Wednesday.—A scheme to send a large portion of the Wembley Empire Exhibition on tour in America is being placed before the British authorities by Mr. Albert E. MacKinnon, an American visitor here to attend the
Albert E. MacKinnon, an American visitor here to attend the international Advertising Convention, and member of a commission from New York which is presenting a tablet to York (England). "The fundamental idea of the Wembley Exhibition is to stimulate trade," Mr. MacKinnon is telling leading exhibitors and Government officials, "America is anxious to see the show, and it would certainly stimulate trade to send Wembley across the water. "Every newspaper throughout the United States has by now given publicity to Wembley. The whole exhibition could not, of course, be transported, but replicas or miniatures of its chief features could be
but replicas or miniatures of its chief features could be sent to us. "If the Queen's house, for instance, could be sent over as one of the features of the exhibition it would earl thousands of pounds for British charities. America has been made by her railways more than any other country in the world, and if George Stephenson's locomotive, now at Wembley, could be shown in America, they would go crazy about it. "We take 70 per cent of the output of the South African diamond mines, and yet we have never seen anything like the demonstration of obtaining
we have never seen anything like the demonstration of obtaining and washing the diamonds which Wembley provides. There are scores of other examples I could quote of sections in Wembley which would undoubtedly touch the American public. "Only such things as would have a particular appeal to the American buying public should, I suggest, be sent across. I want to see a reproduction of the exhibition, first in New York, then in Chicago, Baltimore, and afterwards in Toronto. In and around New York alone a population of millions of potential buyers lies within an hour's journey of any place in
buyers lies within an hour's journey of any place in that district where such an exhibition could be held. "There has never been such an opportunity for England and her Dominions to 'cash in' and to turn the publicity given to Wembley to real account for the benefit of international trade. I want to see it done, and I mean to get it done. Everywhere I go with the scheme I gain an enthusiastic reception." Those who are daily subjected in Paris to the noise from roaring motors and clanging horns, will read with some approval a bulletin written by
horns, will read with some approval a bulletin written by Dr. H. N. Bundesen, Chicago's Health Commissioner. He announces a campaign for making his City more quiet and restful, and pays his respects to noisy motorists as follows: "From Sleep. "There are few people who have not been aroused from sound sleep at midnight or greatly annoyed during the day by the driver of an automobile touring down the Street with his cut-out open, or by the fellow with the great big truck who knows that all fear him, smashing through the city thoroughfares howling his siren in such a
through the city thoroughfares howling his siren in such a way as to use his brakes. The suddenness with which the siren is used can often cause sufficient shock to one affected with heart disease to cause that organ to stop suddenly, with consequent death in a few minutes. This is not idle conjecture, it has happened many times. Cut-Off Medicines, "But so far as the cut-out on the automobile is concerned, experts are unanimous in the opinion that it is needless so far as efficiency is concerned. The fellow who thinks it necessary to run around the block with
who thinks it necessary to run around the block with his cut-out open, probably does not realize that he is disturbing sick people who need rest, or infants who need sleep for proper growth, or night workers who need comfort and rest during the day." CURRENT HISTORY TOLD IN CARTOONS CANADIAN OPPORTUNITIES TEMPTING TO ENGLE SAM And he yields so frequently that the Montreal "Daily Star" suggests a new coat-of-arms for Canada. Although the Dominions' commercial ports on the Pacific Coast are showing amazing growth, according to trade statistics just made public, not all Canadians are satisfied with their country's
made public, not all Canadians are satisfied with their country's economic condition. Some find that opportunities, for various reasons, are being overlooked, and that Americans are taking advantage of this. The situation has inspired the cartoonist of the Montreal Daily Star to the design above. FROM FACE TO AMERICA You Plants Made Young With regret, the cry of the age is not strange to care of experiments with plants. By merely controlling the light they receive, experts of the United States Department of Agriculture have caused plants that were near death to send out vigorous branches, to flower, and to
death to send out vigorous branches, to flower, and to fruit. Flowers that ordinarily bloom at a particular time of the year have been made to bloom sooner or later, at will. As these experiments are all carried out with artificial light, and consist merely in varying the length of the plant's "day", an interesting aspect of the question is that it is now conclusively demonstrated that electric light may take the place of sunlight as the third condition, together with water and chlorophyll, to the life of plants. Public Exhibit The Department has installed an exhibit where the public
Exhibit The Department has installed an exhibit where the public may see the experiments in progress. Behind glass windows in a large metal cabinet located with light from high-power electric lamps, the responses of various plants to different periods of illumination are demonstrated by the growing plants themselves. Golden-glow and late cosmos plants of the same age grow in each of two compartments of the cabinet. Those in the first get a short made-to-order day of ten hours. Those in the second are given a long day of sixteen hours. Cosmos normally blooms in the Fall when the days are
Cosmos normally blooms in the Fall when the days are short, while golden-glow blooms in the summer when the days are long. Therefore, although the temperature, moisture, food, and age of the plants are the same in each cabinet, and the only difference is the length of "day" to which they are subjected, the cosmos blooms only in the short-day compartment, while the golden-glow blooms only in the long day compartment. This clearly shows that the length of light period is the chief factor in determining the character of plant growth. The violet, for example, flowers profusely when given ten
growth. The violet, for example, flowers profusely when given ten hours of illumination. When its day is extended to sixteen hours, nothing is produced but leaves and long stems. Late golden-glow is another short-day plant. By proper manipulation, it can be made to flower out of season during Nature's long days. When a single plant shows the characteristic growth of two different seasons on separate branches, the veteran winegrower knows. A partition is placed between two branches of a short-day plant. One side is exposed to a long day, and the other to a short day. One side blooms while
the other to a short day. One side blooms while the other continues to send out leaves and stems. Comte Wladimir d'Ormesson has just published a study of M. Gérard, the first diplomatic agent whom France sent to the United States in 1778, after the signing of a treaty of alliance between the French King and the new American nation. The work is reviewed interestingly by M. Jean de Pange in the Journal des Débats. Happy Choice. The choice of Gérard as agent to America, says M. de Pange, was a happy one. In the volume concerning him, which has
a happy one. In the volume concerning him, which has drawn heavily from the archives of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the story is told of America's early financial struggles, and the help in solving her problems which was extended by France. "Inflation, and then a depreciation of the value of the paper dollar, a giddy rise in prices helped a wild frenzy of speculation, had produced disastrous results in American finances," the reviewer says, "At that time, it was America who sought to stabilize her money, and it was the King of France who directed a committee of

Gérard's Part The volume that Comte d'Ormesson tells the part which Gérard played in this work. The reviewer, commenting thereon, expresses doubt as to whether the separation of the United States from the British Empire really has been as advantageous for France as Benjamin Franklin led Vergennes and the French Government of his time to believe. If America had been part of the British Empire, says the reviewer, she would have entered the World War
says the reviewer, she would have entered the World War far later, saving tens of thousands of lives, and would not now be abstaining from playing her part in European affairs. THOMAS TAGGART. Mr. Thomas Taggart, the leading Democratic politician, has just been forced to abandon a fight he has been making for months to place Mr. Samuel M. Ralston, the Indiana senator, in the White House. Senator Ralston sent him word last night that he has withdrawn absolutely from the race. Thus ends perhaps the last chance of Mr. Taggart to become a “President maker,” the goal of all
Taggart to become a “President maker,” the goal of all political bosses, and one of the ambitions he has pursued since he started to play politics back in the closing days of the 19th Century. Mr. Taggart is 68 years old; he is a hotel proprietor by vocation, but his main business is politics. He is also one of the owners of the French Lick Springs Hotel Company. Since 1886, he has been a force in Indiana politics, on the Democratic side. In order to be a force in Indiana politics, one has to put in at least an eight-hour
politics, one has to put in at least an eight-hour day as a politician. Indiana politics is to the common or garden variety of politics as fine surgery is to corner-market butchery. It is very keen. Mr. Taggart has been keen enough so that he quit office-holding after a brief youthful fling at being auditor of Marion County and he consented to be appointed United States Senator in 1916 to fill a vacancy, and served until the Harding landslide of 1920 led him back to French Lick. From 1900 until the present, he has been a member of the Democratic
the present, he has been a member of the Democratic National Committee, and was its chairman from 1904 to 1908. Sweet-Tempered English Professor Caldwell, of McGill University, in bringing greetings from Montreal to the Conference of the Brotherhood Movement, at Whitfield’s Tabernacle in London yesterday, said that everybody who goes to England admires “the patient, the non-bragging, the easy-going, the kindly humanitarian spirit” with which Englishmen are bearing all the great burdens of the present time. “The English people are the most sweet-tempered people in the World,” he added. THE STORY OF THE A.C.C. It is an interesting chapter of
STORY OF THE A.C.C. It is an interesting chapter of history, secret some of it, and remarkable, that Major-General Henry T. Allen, U.S. Army, has set down in a diary of the period from June, 1919, to February, 1923, on the first date he succeeded General Pershing in command of American forces in Europe and on the second the American army of occupation was withdrawn from the Rhine. The book brings out once more the fact that the General was well fitted for a difficult post. His War record was excellent; he sped along French and German well, and he
