Lloyd George Says —• ATTITUDE ON PLAN FOR REPARATIONS IS SUSPICIOUS Believes Report Is Remarkable Document and Will Be Basis for Discussions, By THE RT. HON. DAVID LLOYD GEORGE. O. M.. M. P. (Former British Prime Minister) Copyright, 1924. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc. LONDON. April 26 (by cable). —The report, which is the result of the searching examination to which the allied and associated experts have subjected the German assets and prospects, is a remarkable document | from every point of view. Apart from its political importance, it will have 9 permanent value as a contribution to the study of international finance. It must henceforth be the basis of all further discussion on German , reparations. Before entering into a consideration of its probable effect. I feel I am entitled to call the atten tion of readers of these articles to the fact that the first suggestion of the appointment of such a committee appeared in the third article-of this series, writtdTl in December. 1922.

Hughes Suggestion The famous speech of Mr. Hughes at New Haven, containing a similar suggestion, was almost contemporaneous. That was. unfortunately, completely ignored. The allied conference met in Paris on the second of January, but took no notice of Hughes proposal. It broke up without making a real effort to reach an agreement and M. Poincare invaded the Ruhr. Then followed months of confusion and exasperation. each of them reducing perceptibly the debtors' capacity to pay. Germany accepted unreservedly the American proposal to refer the question of the sums she was expected to pay to examination by a body of experts and she promised to abide by their decision For those who expect Targe sums of rndney in the immediate future towards repairing the damage inflicted by the German armies, the report must be a disappointment. The commissioners are emphatically of opinion that the payment for the current year can not exceed 1,000.000.009 gold marks. This sum is to include payments in kind and to cover the cost of the armies of occupation and of

A Puzzle a Day A farmer had five times as many horses as sheep: five times ag many cows as horses: twice as many as cows. He had 81 chickens, which was the same number as all his hogs, cows, horses and sheep added together. How many of each did he have? Y ester ay's answer: o • ••••••• •••••••* • • • *•••••••• •••••••* • • •••*••••••••••• ••• • • © • ••••• • • • • ••• • - • • ••••••••••••• •• The man originally had 225 shrubs -—ls in each row. The addition of the new shrubs all the way around the old bed raised the total to 289; an increase of 64. A study of the diagram shows how the problem may be solved. There were 64 new shrubs. Subtract 4 (one for each corner) and you hare 60. Divide 60 by 4. obtaining 15. which is obviously the number of shrubs in each original row. Fifteen rows of 15 each give the total of 225 as the correct answer. (The dots represent old shrubs—tiny circles, new.) all the commissioners appointed under the Treaty of Versailles. Four fifths of the suns is to be covered by an international loan. 1922 Payment Big In the rear 1922 the German payments on all these accounts consid erably exceeded this figure. Taking all payments in kind of every description (including not only coal. dyes, timber, scientific instruments, etc., but substantial amounts collected under the custofns recovery act!—taking the payments made in gold to the reparations cemmission and the sums paid directly to the armies of occupation toward supplies—Germany paid over 1.400.000.000 gold marks to the allies in 1922. Now compare this with the sum which, two years later, becomes payable under the experts' report, which has been accepted by all the allies. For the elaborate reasons they set forth, the experts come to the unanimous conclusion that 1.000.000.000 marks :s all that can now be expected of Germany during the first year. Out of that ieduced amount 800,000.000 is to be advanced to Germany by means of an international loan. Must Borrow The 1.400.000.000 gold marks paid in 1922 were found by Germany out of her own resources. In 1924 she is

only called upon to find 200.000,000 marks. The rest she borrows. This is the cash result of the Ruhr coup, that was to give to Germany the will to pay. The authors of that brilliant idea forgot to inquire into her capacity to pay. They evidently considered that a superfluous detail. What is the next move? It is not too much to say that the future of Europe depends on the handling of this report. If wise use is made of fSe opportunity it gives, peace and goodwill will reign in this troubled continent. The door it opens reveals an alluring vista of tranquillity, unbroken except by the melody of an incessant hammering on the anvils of industry. If that door is slammed, either through frenzy of fumbling, the piospect for this generation is dark. The scheme is necessarily so complicated that it cannot work, except through the goodwill of all the parties concerned. The authors of the report take the same view’ as to the capacity of Germany to pay reparations as did the framers of the Treaty of Versailles. They both came to the conclusion that it cannot be assessed in advance and that it must be estimated from time to time, according as Germany prospers. This is an interesting fact which ought to be noted, for it is the best answer to those who claim that a fixed sum ought to have been inserted in the treaty. Tests Provided For But the experts have gone beyond the negotiations of the treaty in one important respect. They have at- ' tempted to establish a number of tests by which the capacity can, in a given year, be ascertained. Although these tests are in appearance automatic, they are’not so in reality. They af ford infinite possibilities for dispute ; f the temper of the nations concerned happens to be contentious. Hence, the necessity for re-establishing good feeling. With it. . the report will work without friction: without it. there will be misunderstandg. quarrels and. maybe, blows. If the receplion accorded to the report in the various capitals cf the countrie* 3 > hiefiy concerned affords any reliable indication, ‘lien the weather is distinctly improving. The poisonous winds which have so long delayed (he cffloresence of peace are subsiding. Both Dr. Marx and M. Poincare ere breathing gently on this report and. unless there are cyclonic disturbances in connection with the coming elections, we are in for a, spell of good weather. That is all to the good, out we have not yet reached the harvest. And in the uncertain climate of western Europe it would be wise not to reckon too confidently on wha* will happen in the course of the next two or three months All of One Mind The statesmen of Germany, as well as those of France. Belgium. the United States of America. Italy and Great Britain today seem to be all of one mind. The experts seem to have solved all their differences The reparations commission have • not only accepted their recommends tions but are taking steps to operate them. But do they all mean the same thing? Are there no hidden reservations and conditions which, when they are revealed, will disturb this general serenity? The atmosphere is so clear as to make one feel suspicious UAL COULD BE MADE AT SHOALS Chemical Expert Heard by Senate Committee, Time* \Tn*hinnton Hurra u. 13 ft Yew York Are. WASHINGTON April 26.--Among things which can b“ made at Muscle Shoals besides fertilizer are anew metal “which would revolutionize transportation,” and a poison gas which kills the peach-borer and possibly wheat rust and tobacco wildfire.

POLITICALWORKERS JOCKEY FOR RAIL IN PRIMARY RACE Coalitions and Barter for Support Rumored as Convention Fight Looms, The latest, rumors on the Republican primary race for gubernatorial nominations show a c6nviction the nomination will go teff convention. In spite of the fact most candidates claim complete slates of delegates, efforts are said to be in progress to thwart such preparation. The Coffin-Dodson county faction is said to be fightfng Shank, but will not support Jackson. Toner will get their support, it is rumored. In other quarters. it is said, support for Toner is calculated to insure a split vote and absence of a majority vote in the primary for either Shank or Jackson. Ed Wa'smuth Mentioned With nomination once in the convention. it is said, friends of lOd Wasninth, Huntington, former Republican State chairman, will attempt to effect his nomination. The belief s equally prevalent, however, tha.t party leaders dare not go emtside the primarylist of candidates. On the Democratic side. CtaVens and Crittenberger forces are said to be forming a coalition for purpose of defeating McCulloch in case the nomination goes to convent on. If Cravens leads on the first ballot, it is said Crittenlierger votes will go to him and if Crittenberger leads, he will subsequently get the support of Cravens delegates. Similar Alliance Fails An alleged attempt to form a similar alliance between Durgan and Me Culloch failed, it is said, McCulloch workers are said to have approached a Durgan representative with such a proposition. The representative, it is said, agreed to throw Durgan votes to McCulloch in case Durgan was second on the first ballot. But when he asked for McCulloch hacking in case Durgan lefl.

Terrible Tangles of KASPER KEENE (A Musical Subterfuge) Tangle Editor: Learning that Kasper Keene is going to play a violin sol,o-t a Sunday school entertainment, Ryan Jinheaver bribes one of the ushers to soap his violin bow. thinking to bring disgrace and ridicule on him. Can you save Kasper in a case like that? —Har Har. The strange thing about this is that Kasper never really knew anything about Jinheaver's mean actions. As a matter of fact, Kasper can’t really play the fiddle at all, but he can give some marvelous imitations of musical instruments with his lips, tongue and teeth. He always uses real instruments just to heighten the illusion. You can imagine how astonished Jinheaver was -when he saw- Kasper apparently playing the fiddle with the soaped bow, and how- peeved he was when- Kasper finally the violin aw-ay from his chin and continued the music with his voice, amid the thunderous applause of the large audience.
