POLITICAL UPHEAVALS OF DOMESTIC MATURE IN EUROPE LAST YEAR ' (Ry United Press) Political upheavals of a domestic nature occurred in most of the leading European countries in 1922. the most unexpected being the overthrow of David Lloyd George in England, and , perhaps the most significent of the near-revolutionary assumption of power of the Fascist!, headed by Signor Mussolini, in Italy. In England Lloyd George was driven

from oft Ice after seven years premier ship as the result of a revolt, of the Conservative wins of his coalition and was succeeded three days later by Andrew Bonar Law, Conservative leader. At the ensuing general election, Nov. 13, Bonar Law's party- was returned to power by a substantial majority, Lloyd George having but a remnant of his party left. Italy had two cabinet crises before the advent of Mussolini. First Premier Bonomi resigned in February, endeavored to form a new cabinet, but eventually rave way to Signor Luigi Facta. The Facta cabinet got into trouble in the late summer, resigned, but endeavored to reform. After the country had been practically without a government for a fortnight, the militant Fascisti took charge, marched on Rome in what was the most remarkable "constitutional rev

olution" in Europe's history, and forced the appointment of their leader, Benito Mussolini, as premier. Face Political Crisis. ' France had a political crisis as the ' result of the Cannes conference and Premier Aristide Briand was hurled from office, being succeeded by exPresident Raymond Poincare. Germany, after a troubled political life under Premier Wirth, eventually hanged governments in November, Wirth being succeeded by the shipping magnate, Cuno, as premier. , Greece had' numerous political criFes which culminated in the overthrow of King Constantine, the impeachment and execution of three expremiers, two ministers 'and a general, by the revolutionary committee. Snain passed a troubled political year, Premier Allenrte-Salazar being succeeded by Senor Sanchez Guerra. who resigned but accepted the premiership again Dec. 2. Portugal's past year resulted in the overthrow of several cabinets, and two evolutionary outbreaks, which, however, were not of intematianal importance.

FRANCE WILL INSIST THAT TREATY TERMS BE BASIS OF PEACE (By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan. 1. Alexander Millerand, president of the republic, made a brief forecast of the French attitude on the question coming before the premiere' conference when, in replying this afternoon to the good wishes of the diplomatic corps, presented by Monsignor Cerretti, the papal annuncio, he said: "Complete peace can be established only on the basis of the treaty and through the rights acquired and the obligations endured." Monsignor Cerretti referred to the expression last year of wishes for a complete peace, which, he said, was far from having been realized. In replying Mr. Millerand said: "May this new year bring us finally the complete peace which it would have been vain to proclaim in diplo matic instruments. That peace can not obtain except on the basis of the treaty signed and through respect of rights and engagements undertaken Will Stick to Terms. "I shall not be contradicted''. I am ceTtain by any one of the allies, who in the course of the great war, placed their material and moral resources in common to lt-pel agression when I say they are firmly resolved to stick to the conditions that terminated the hostilities. "But their determination to reach complete pacification would be con demned to sterility if they should not meet on the part of their former adversaries a resolution to loyally apply the clauses they accepted. Says Peace Wanted "Faithful to the spirit of the Repub lic regime, France desires peace with all her foes, but it Avould be an inde fensible paradox to pretend to establish that peace on falsehoods and in equities. How could one help thinking that those who signed the recognition of their responsibilities would not repudiate their concessions and plead against tho evidence that they were not guilty, if that intolerable sophistry was not in their minds destined to furnish means of escape from the consequences of their faults and enable them to avoid the just reparation that evolved upon them."

DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES OF EUROPE OUZZ OVER

GERMAN DISCLOSURES By CARL D. GROAT BERLIN, Jan. 1. European diplo- -matic circles buzzed today with disclosures made by Chancellor Cuno in a speech at Hamburg late yesterday that France has rejected a German effort to create an anti-war agreement along the Rhine. Negotiations for the agreement, to cover a generation and allay France's fears of future German attack, was made through a third unnamed power, Cuno said. . His speech, without indulging in fig ures, also disclosed Germany's plan to float loans through an internation consortium as a means of meeting repara tions and also that all possible guarantees with backing of industrials will be offered if allied occupation of the Rhine Is decreased and Ruhrort, Duisberg and Duspeldorf are evacuated. Blocked B France. Despite previous German-American denials of a mediation effort, it was learned today from an unquestionable authority that proposals were made through the American government and ' that the French replied in substance that the offers would not satisfy their requirements. .The official denials were generally regarded as "diplomatic moves" based on the fact that the original reports of the negotiations were not in the exact shape, as to details, as Germany's pro- -posals. As Cuno revealed his plan for an anti-war agreement. It was to be agreed that a third uninterested power hold the Rhine against any war emergency, interested nations for a generation, the only authority for war to be through a plebiscite. "t Condemns Policy Cuno condemned France's "pawn policy" as to reparations. He declared that the views expressed by Secretary Hughes at New Haven coincide with those of Germany regarding the connection of reparations with Europe's fate. "f hope that the policy of force i buried with the old year," he said. "I hope the new year will bring peace on earth such as the pope sought in his Christmas appeal." fred Love, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Love, .and Mr. and Mrs. Verlie Love ....Mr. and Mrs. Silas Miller entertained at dinner Sunday the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moore, of Modoc...
