FRANCE HURTS HER POSITION BY ATTITUDE If She Wants War Debts Can

celled She Must Recede From Stand She Has Taken on Questions. IS PLAYINGPOLITICS By MARK SILI.IVAV WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. If you ask whether anything can be found to say j in extenuation of what the French delegates have done to the conference, the answer, after a large number of conversations with persons entirely J open minded and without feeling about it, is. for the most part, very little. If i , , , . . . , , , I you ask whether the episode is likely to have discouraging consequences, i both immediate and remote, the an- j swer is. unhappily, yes. I It just happened that the climax of the steady Frencn course of preventing success for the conference coincided with the most important utterance made in America in the direction of our cancelling the debts due us from France and other European countries. The rosition of Justice John H. Clark, both as a member of the su preme court and otherwise, is such as j lo carry much weight. But if you were today to call the roll of congress J public men in a position to influence the event, you would find hardly a man willing to follow Justice Clark's lead. France wants several things from America. Among them she wants the cancellation of the debts she owes us, and she wants the assurance that we will come' to her help if she is ever again attacked by Germany. Must Behave Herself. There was and is just one way for France to get these things, and that way is so to act as to make the right sort of impression on American people, and so to conduct her relations with us that, whenever the issue arises, the American people shall have the feeling about her that would move us to come to her help. To visualize the effect of what has just happened, there is no better way than the crude but effective answer made by many American puonc men 10 me quesuuu m ' from navine the money she owes us "Are we" it is replied, "going to let France have our money to build a huge naval equipment?" In the same way the other question is answered, "are we going to come to the help of France in any future war when she wilfully endangers success at the very beginning of the elaborate I program President Harding has had in

i mind, going much beyond tne present I conference, for agreements and cooperation aimed to make future war Impossible?" Effect Goes Further. But the discouraging effect of the actions of the French delegates goes even further than this. What the American public may have sensed vaguely is realized even more concretely and definitely by persons close to the conference. That is, that much that has been done here by the particular French individuals is not necessarily the act of the French people, but is" dictated to a considerable extent by personal political considerations. In addition to the situation between Briand and the French politicians now nut of power, who would like to get ihemselves in, those who are familiar

with the French delegation, say there; ias also oeen u-useui-w ut-.r?-ii xjh--and and one of the other French delesates, who, through his position at home, is in a position to influence a considerable block of the membership of the French chamber of deputies, upon which Briand must depend for his tenure of office. Discouraged Feeling ThP net effect of all this is a dis couraged fet'ling on the part of the Americans that it is hopeless for us to become involved in this sort of thing. We can't possibly conduct our affairs with one eye on the politics of Paris. In short, the result of this French development must be accepted as having the effect of making us less willing 10 take part in intenational conferences or in international affairs altogether. Those who favor isolation for America are greatly strengthened in their position; and for those who realize that France exists and we must live in the same world with her. the possibility of a satisfactory relation to the world is made more difficult. Nevertheless, the net results of the situation, as it exists today is not disimirMtrfne. The American. British, Japanese and Italian delegates to this conference are wise and able men. As to the Americans especially, they did not go into this matter expecting it would be an easy walk to success. Worst Is Past They took into account possibilities of trouble even more serious than what has happened. These worse potential difficulties are already past. As to the present and future of the ( onference, there-are resources not yet used. It can be expected with confidence that today is the worst the conference will be likely to see. Even as to France, there are considerations not of compulsion but of self interest that sooner or later can be depended on to make her see a better light. Copyright 1921 by the New York Evening Post.

The president's request that such a conference be called was announced yesterday in a letter to the secretary in which he declared that while "no one will protend that the present conditions could have been avoided, none ,of us is willing to agree that there ought not to be some corrective con structive step taken to remedy the severe hardships under which so irnzenships in struggling." He suggested that the conference for which no date has not yet been set ,nor a complete invitation list be made up might divide its work into two sections, one for construction of "our present day difficulties" and the other to work out general policies for the futureYOUNGSTOWN CROOKS WARNED OF COMING CLEANUP BY MAYOR (By Associated Press) YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Dec. 31.

WILL RATIFY PACIFIC PACT, PREDICTS NEW

Republicans Will Vote Against It. QUAKERS IN RUSSIA i PALLADIUM NEWS BIREAU WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 Ratification of the four-power Pacific treaty is predicted by Senator Harry S. New of Indiana, who is one of President Harding's closest friends. He believes only three Republicans will vote against it and he expects no organized opposition to it on the part of the Democrats. Senator New sees nothing of "any great moment" in the contradictory constructions which have been placed on the "protection clause" of the treaty, but Senators McNary of Oregon and King of Utah are insisting upon the elimination of the Japanese ! homeland from the protection provided by the treaty. "The treaty makes for peace in the Pacific, "Senator New, who is a mem ber of the foreign relations committee, said. "That was one of the principal j objectives of the conference. We! simply say to our foreign associates: ! Hoys, we agree not to strike one another. If we nave a difference of opinion, let us sit down and talk things over and settle our disputes among ourselves in a friendly way.' Could any plan be more plain and simple and more desirable?" Beneficial Results "Under the naval reduction ration agreed to," the Indiana senator added. "Japan will not have enough capital ships to cause us any trouble, and we will surrender too many of them to continue to be a source of worry to Japan. The beneficial result of the naval agreement will last longer than the 10-year period fixed by it, for it would take several years to replace tne capital ships which are to be j scrapped, and for any nation a party to the agreement to get into fiKhtinz trim again." Speaking of his opposition to the rotection clause" of . the treatv "protection clause" benaior McNary says: "I certainly would support a reservation expressly stipulating that under no circumstances was the state department's interpretation to be regarded as the official one of the United States government, and that under no conditions would we feel bound by any provision! of the treaty to help protect the Japanese homeland from armed aggres sion.

NEW ADMINISTRATION TO REORGANIZE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION Plans will be set under way shortly after the new administration takes office, to re-organize the old city planning commission, which functioned un der the provisions of a council resolution passed June 5, 1919.

PROMINENT BANKERS DECLARE PROSPECTS FOR 1922 ARE BRIGHT

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 31. Business prospects for 1922 are, in general, hopeful, according to statements by prominent bankers, made public today by the American Bankers' association. "The future of business and finance in the United States Is encouraging." said Thomas B. Mc-Adams, president of the association. He emphasized the importance of this country interesting itself in the problems of Europe in order that American prosperity may be maintained. He said that although some leading politicians and newspayers opposed extending aid to Europe at this time, "future prosperity depended upon the way financial America answers the call." "The time for anxiety sems to be entirely past and the middle of 1922 should see recovery' well established," declared John C. Lonadale, president of the National Bank of Commerce of St. Ixuis. "All of the things necessary to commercial betterment seem to have been set in motion, so that 1922 should see the beginning of the era of our greatest and most golden prosperity." Affected By Europe Prosperity among our farmers, manufacturers and merchants is directly affected by the unsettled condition of finance and politics iu Europe, accordland "This must be remedied," he added, "it is a parent, also, tliat strikes for higher wages are certainly not in keep'n& wth the present order of things. Labor must bear its fair share in future deflation."

Puslicher, vice-president of the American "Bankers' association, said the trend was towards easier money rates and there was nothing to indicate that this should not continue. The strongest factor in the present situation is the growing strength of the banks," he declared. "It is our belief," declared R. S. Hecht, president of the State bank division of the American Bankers' association, "that we will not again have real prosperity in this country until some kind of economic restoration has been accomplished in Europe and a stable basis for international trade worked out."
