S. | UnitedKingdom Can’t Treaty To Protect Enter a Race for S (2 Voo President-Elect and Closest Advis- ors Hold to Purpose to “Scrap” Versailles Agreement. Special Dispatch to The Star. ST. AUGPSTINE, Fla., February 8. —When Warren Harding as President of the United States sends his first message to the extra session of Con- gress. he will ask for the immediate passage of the Knox resolution de- claring the war against Germany and Austria at an end. Europe has been at peace and in vintually full rela- tionship with Germany for nearly two years. America still remains in the role of a belligerent. Mr. Haraing will announce that im- mediately the resolution of peace is passed by Congress and approved by himself, he will undertake the nego- tiation of a commercial treaty with what was once .the German empire. This commercial treaty may be made broad enough to include some of the matters covered in the treaty of Ver- sailles, to which it seems the United States, under the new administration, is not to become a party. . By the negotiation of a commercial treaty to cover disputed points grow- ing out of the war andl to regulate the commercfal relationship between the two countries in the future, the United States will avoid the stigma of having made a separate “peace” with Ger- many. It will be argued that the rest of the world being at peace with Ger- many this country could do no more than declare the state of war at an end. With the close of a war new commtercial treaties always are in or- der, and so the negotiations in behalf of this country will be declared in or- der at once. Present Treaty to Be Serapped. It is the present purpose of Mr. Harding and his closest advisers to “scra) entirety. Whether this intention will be adhered to, once the responsibility for America’s relationship with the ‘world rests heavily upon the shoulders of Mr. Harding, remains to be seen. There is no doubt,the fact will be Harding that if the S the treaty aside ly4 v will that 9 tes repudiated entirely the work of its accredited commission at Paris.

TODESIETOSHVE Action of Congress Is Proof of Tendency to Returnto | Normalcy in Hurry. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. No better proof of the tendency to return to normalcy in a hurry could be given than in the overwhelming vote by which both houses of Con- gress have just passed over President Wilson's veto the bill to reduce the Army from 280,000 to 175,000 men. Democrats joined the republicans, slap at the White House, but because, | day, public opinion in all parts of the country is insistently demanding that | Congress economize and reduce taxes. | Neither party dares stand in the way | of the pruning knife, and while, as is customary during waves of econ- omy, some worth-while appropriations are lost in the shuffle, the desire to cut down the size of the Army proceeded rather from a feeling that for the next few years at least there would be more than enough ex-service men in the country to respond instantly to an emergency call. Back of the fight for a larger Army has been the argument that while the number of privates might be reduced, officers could not be kept unless the Army organization were large enough to hold them. But there, too, members of Congress seem “to feel that plenty of officers will be available for the ranks of the world war veterans.

BERLIN, February 8.—The German | government has accepted’ the invita- tion to participate in the allied confer- ence on reparations in London, March 1, it was announced here today. The government in sending its ac- ceptance sets forth its supposition that the negotiations will include dis- cussion of the German counter pro- posals. v Note on Way, Belief.

Loucheur, “how in gold immediately? “We have tollowed the best course,” added the minister. “The payment of annuities by Germany is the only solution.” \ The total of France's claims for damage sustained at the hands of Germany during the war has been placed by French public men at a sum in excess of 200,000,000,000 francs. Only a part of France’s claims were represented fn the total of 226,000,- 000,000 marks demanded, of-Germany in annuities by the combined allied nations in the reparations bill recent- 1y presented. Additional amounts in reparation payments were provided for by the 12 per cent tax on German exports. vrie understands M.

Present at the conference were Senators Jones, King and Dilling- ham and Representatives Mapes and Senator Dillingham was willing to agree to whatever Senator Jones insisted upon. Senator Jones said at first that 45 per cent from the federal Treasury and 55 per cent from the District rev- enues was as great a concession as he would make in breaking away from the time-honored 50-50 principle. Later in the conference he was induced to say VOTE BERGDOLL INQUIRY. House Committee to Determine as to Deep Probe Into Escape. A preliminary investigation of the escape to Germany of Grover Cleve- land Bergdoll, wealthy Philadelphia draft dodger, is to be made by the House military committee to deter- mine whether a thorough inquiry by a Special committee was justified. This was announced today by Chair- man Kahn after an executive session of the committee, which voted to }’aunch the preliminary hearing Thurs- ay. “I'm convinced the. whole affair was rotten, and that we should go to the District Attorney McAvoy, Philadel- phia, who conducted the prosecution ness to appear before the committee, Mr. Kahn said. FOCAT WL HEAD Pacific Urged. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921. LONDON, February $.—It may be stated with assurance that the Brit- ish government would regard an American Navy of equal strength With the British navy as implying no threat to the security of the Brit- ish empire. This question has received the careful consideration of the cabinet. Walter Long, first lord of the ad- miralty, is understood to have taken HAYS AND WHITE 10 KEEP PLACES Republican Leader Expected to Retain Post Despite Cabinet Appointment. Neither Chairman Hays of the re- bottom of it said Chairman Kahn.|publican Chairman White of the democratic i against Bergdoll's mother and others|hational committee is likely to sur- lalleged to have been implicated in|rende; his escape, has signified his willing-|syeyr T his office any time in the near ; e, according to trustworthy in- formation received here. The state- ment holds good notwithstanding the practical certainty that Mr. Hays is Boing in the Harding cabinet and that Mr. White is being waged ocratic national committee. the postibility of a cabinet tment in view, Mr. Hays €ently conferred with prominent re- publicans upon the questi ing the ch: D, advice was that he should not dis- party organization at this me. which he has built up with a strong line against any thought | ot competitive British and American naval construction. He argued that Britain and the United States had the same interests at sea, namely, inviolability of the trade routes of the world. He held that British fighting ships should be looked upon as safeguards of American com- merce and American_fighting ships as safeguards of British commerce, and the combined fleet as a shield of freedom. Cabinet Is Unanimeus. Sympathy with this view prevailed in the cabinet without dissent. What the British government would like is a upon the parity of the two naval forces. It would like to transform the Anglo-Japanese treaty into a quad- ruple treaty embracing Japan, China, the United States and Britain, and dedicated to permanent peace in the Pacific. It believes that such an agreement would insure ~n open door in the far east, and remove all dis- trust and anxiety arising from ques- tions affecting the Pacific. Presumably the opinion of Canada and Australia has been accepted on this subject.. Both these dominions are most desirous of an Anglo-Ameri- can naval rapprochement. They would not fear an American Navy that balanced the British navy. They ‘would esteem these forces as one for the preservation of the white race— that is, resistance to a yellow inva- sion. Alliance Is Distastefal. Australia wants Britain to get rid of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Many Americans look askance upon the Anglo-Japanese pact. But Britain asks, “If we break with our ally Japan, what do you offer us by way of equal insurance against trouble in Asia and in the Pacific If the United States should offer such insurance Britain would decline to renew the AngloJapanese treaty while making every effort to convince Japan that neither the British empire n Anglo-American agreement based | Supremacy. Great Britain will not undertake a race with the United States for sea- power, Sir Philip Gibbs. British war correspondent, declared today before the House naval committee. England {hasn't the money. he said, and most inglishmen do not regard the Amerl- can navy “as a menace.” Sir Philip said that before any agreement for disarmament could be jreached by the principal powers. the | Russian question would have to be settled and the Russian people drawn back into the “family of nations” There is a spirit of revolt, entirely apart from bolshevism, in Europe today because of the general fear of another war, the witness declared, adding that the people felt that they had been betrayed in the last iar because they had been told that it was a struggle to end war. Greater Burden Than in 1914, “The burden of armaments in Eury is greater today than it was in 1914," he “asserted. “England is spending £270,000,000 a year on its military- naval establishment. This sum is more than-twice the entire natlonal budget for all purposes before the war.” In Mesopotamia alone, Sir Phillp said, Great Britain is spending £40,~ 000,000 a year for military purposes. An invitation from the United States for a disarmament conference would meet with the approval of most of the people of Great Britain, Sir Philip said, although some sections of the government are opposed to the gen-, eral idea of disarmament. Discussing the future of the British navy, the witness told the committes that the English people did not consider another naval bill to provide “a_strong and supreme navy" 0 “they realize that Great Britain's chief menace, the German navy, has been crushed forever.” He added that tuere Inot regard the American navy as'a ' ‘menace.” Representatives of the Russian soviet | government should by all means be fa- cluded in any conference to discuss dis- armament, Sir Philip declared.
