Morris and Shldehara Devise Plan for American-Japanese Accord ? Railways Prepare to Ask Reduction of Wages. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Germany, Austria and Turkey were -en the anxious seat last week ; and va rious other nations were only less cou cerued. For the supreme council of the allies was In session In Paris dis-: cussing reparations, disarmament, the .salvation of Austria and the revision of the treaty of Sevres. Between ses sions Premier Lloyd George lunched and dined and talked in private with Premier Briand, and gradually won him over to a policy of greater con ciliation. It is probable that this was quite agreeable to M. Brland, but he had to put up some argument to satis fy Ul&Freqgh people, who are doomed to disappolntmeut. When the matter of German repara tions eaine up, Douraer, the French minister of 'finance, made a long ad dress in which he insisted that France must be paid 400, 000, 000,000 gold marks. He stated, as the policy of France, that Germany must be pre sented with an itemized bill for war damages caused by her, and thRt the supreme council should then fir the amount that Germany must pay within Hie next five years. Lloyd George and his colleagues wished to concentrate I on what Germany Is able to pay, and , said there were three ways in which ' she could make payment ? in silver, in gold and in goods. The discussion de veloped that Great Britain has objec tions to the 'two last named. It Is held that if Germany Is compelled to pay over any considerably amount of the hundred million gold marks she Is sup posed t? be holding as a reserve, the mark would become practically worth less and the economic situation In Eu rope would be worse than ever. The British also point out that If Ger many pays In goods the markets would be glutted and English Industries ^ruined. One other method of partial payment to France has been proposed ? the sending of German laborers to reconstruct the devastated regions. But this Is opposed by F^ince on the ground that the people of those re gions are without employment and need the payment for doing the re construction work. It was on the question of disarm ament that the French yielded inost. General Nollet's report said that the Germans were not faithfully carrying out the treaty terms In that respect, but this was contradicted by the re port of the British (Jeneral Bingham. The council's military experts, with Marshal Foch as chairman, then got to gether and agreed to abandon the orig inal French demand that the civil mil itary organizations of Bavurla and Fast Prussia be disbanded at once. A delay until July 1 was granted, but Foch Insisted on guarantees by mill tary occupation of the Ituhr- district if the terms were not executed by that date. In view of the stubborn atti tude maintained by the governments of Bavaria and East I'rusxla and the leaders of the organizations In ques tion, It Is not easy to see how the cen tral government at Berlin ran bring , about the dlabandment by July 1 if. an It says. It cpnn??t do so now. ? \ The plea for Immediate relief for starving Anstrfft. made to the supreme I couneH -by Sir William British representative In Vienna,, anrf* other rep resent of Wen of the allied naflons, was made In vain. The plan proposed by Good?> wbh that Great Britain and France should lend Austria ?50,000.000 In ten annual Installments* and ha jRWteftted the United States might participate In the loan. Hut f.loyd ?George said ihis was yut of the <iues thin. culling attention to the dltllculty in olduinlttg *lWiOO,tHH> to buihl bmm os in London. The council, feeling tluil t ho ease of Austria is mo closely hound np in the general central Eu ropean situation, referred the whole matter to a special 'committee, made up of. the commerce ministers of the ul lled nations, for investigation. Admitting that the treaty of Sevres, with Turkey, must be revised, the council decided thai representatives of the allies shall hold a conference with Turkish and Greek representatives In London In the latter part of February, if the governments of Constantinople and Angora can. get together for the purpose, they will be allowed to send a joint delegation. To this extent the council recognizes the Turkish Na tionalist government, and It probably Is the least it can do in view of the strong position of Mustnpha Kemal Pasha and his recent military suc cesses against the Greeks In Asia Minor. Disagreeing with the views of Pres ident Wilson as set forth lu Secretary Colby'* note to the Italian ambassador last November, the council decided that Esthonla,, and Latvia, two of the states carved out of the old Russian empire, should he recognized as sov ereign states. Action on Georgia aud Lithuania was deferred; From the other side of the fence ? Berlin ? comes the^ilformatlon that the Gerumn fioyernwm will not recognize the right of the supreme council to set tle the subject of reparations. Berlin holds that there must be first a dis cussion by industrial experts regard ing deliveries, and then the confer ence of the government* at Geneva as promised at the Spa meeting. "PertlnaX," a usually well-Informed Paris journalist, says Great Britain Is going to propese that payment of the British war" debt to the United States be postponed until 1986 and 1947. This debt now amounts to some thing over four billion dollars. It is said Lord Chalmers, permanent secre tary of the British treasury, will come over here with the plan for postpone ment. * i President Wilson's note, asking (hat, before he undertake mediation for Ar menia, the great powers promise It u? sla that her territorial Integrity shall not be Invaded, seems to have met with little response fcOm the capitals of Europe, though It may be the states men are merely digesting It. Armenia herself appears to have reused to in terest any except the philanthropist** who know that her people still are suf fering and oppressed. As for Russia, the main development of recent days Is the* progress of the negotiations for resumption of trade between her and Great Britain. The soviet envoy has received the terras demanded by the British, and It is likely they will be accepted. The movement toward the same end In the United States has received a setback in the senate com mittee. where a majority seems op posed to an arrangement which they thlbk Involves the recognition of the soviet government. That srfme Wilson note was Inter preted In this country as aiming clilef ly at Japan's continued occupation of Vladivostok pnd the surrounding por tion of Siberia, and In this light might have been generally approved If the Republican press had not Jumped on It as a presumptuous attempt to es tablish a policy by. a repudiated ad ministration. Anyhow, (he Japanese so far have not given It official atten tion ; neither have they made any move toward getting out of Vladivo stok. The inurder fof an Anierlcun naval lieutenant by one of their sen tries, and other unwarranted acts, however, have forced Tokyo to dl?* av?w all such actions. Ambassadors Morris and Shldehsrn have concluded thelr^negotlatlons for the settlement sf the California alien land law question and the definition of the rights of Japanese In the United States, and their recommendations are | embodied In a report which Mr. Mor Hs has submitted to Secretary of State Colhjr. Tne principal features of this report Are as follows: L An amendment ts the existing commercial treaty which will Kraut o Japanese subjects lawfully in thin country* equal civil rights wilh the na tionals o? any (?! Imp foreign nation. A revision oi" the existing "gvn t Ionian's njgreeinent," so as to make It conform to present day requirements, ami to that end would nhsolutidy' pro-, hlblt Japanese emigration to America ami the Hawaiian Islands, while admit ting it to the Philippines. At l\ome the Japanese government was violently attaekod by the oppo sition Joaders for its alleged failure In diplomatic negotiations with the United States, Croat Britain. China and Siberia, and for keeping troops In Siberia. In reply to the latter charge Premier Uara said he would like to withdraw those troops, but he be lieved their maintenance In Slhe-.a was necessary for -the national de fense. He admitted that the bolshe vlzlng of Siberia could not be check eb. Hundreds of thousands of workers In the United State."*- are without em ployment, but the situation is growing better dally. In the North the textile mills- and many of the automobile plants are reopening, und In the Sotitli the cotton mitts are resuming opera tions. <To be sure, the worker Is often compelled to accept either a shorter week or reduced wages. The , down ward trend in pay has now reached the railways, and last week the labor committee of the American Associa tion of Hallway Executives met In Chicago (o lay plans for a request .dlwL the UnlteU~Sltt"te8 railway labor board authorize a reduction of wages. One tuii?er roatf it? the Southeast al ready has asked for such authority. The railway executives say that at the present rates the properties are not earniug the 6 per cent return' guaranteed by the transportation act ; that the rates now are as high as the business can be expected to bear; that forces have been cut to the mini mum consistent with safe operation, and that the only remaining place for a reduction in expenses Is the wage scale. They also will show the fed eral board that wag" increases of* more than 120 per cent since the President signed the Adamson eight hour law huve accounted for almost two-thirds of the Increase in operat ing expenses from |3," 100,000,000 to nearly $6,000,000,000 a year and that the national industrial conference board's estimates show that the cost of living lias decreased. Union laborers who believe Samuel fJompers and his associates have proved Incompetent leaders and "have directed the tollers' industrial ship into the whirlpool of fallacy and cor rupt politics" haye Just started the organization of a new national labor movement called the American league of Union Worklngmen. Its organiz ers declare they are for America and American Ideals and conceptions and that they hope to establish cordial re lations between their leaders and the Harding administration. The senate has passed the bill for government regulation of the meat packing industry, which, according to its proponents, will protect both the stock raisers and the consumers from alleged price control by the packers.
