- PROPOSES TO UNITE {VICTORIOUS NATIONS Tardieu Suggests Modifying Versailles Treaty to Meet the Wishes of . the United Statgs. BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former Head of French High Com- mission to America. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, April Persing a period Preparation. The course of events lacks definite direction. Yet sev- eral salient points stand out. First, we are awaiting a con- crete decision which will determine American foreign policy. The new exchange of notes between Berlin and Washington has been at least a step in that direction. Second, we are awaiting a deter- mination of the reparations commis- sion concerning Germany's total debt. {This has been promised for May. Per- haps the new negotiations centering on_Washington may mean delay. Third, we are awaiting such further proposals as Germany may make be- fore May 1, particularly in view of the plain intimation to Berlin from Washington that something definite must be advanced by the Germans. Fourth. we are awaiting a final de- cision as to the coercive measures to be taken if the new negotiations fail and it becomes necessary to handle a refractory debtor. This uncertainty makes comment difficult and forbids definite con- clusions. Germany obviously has intended to profit by this uncertainty and to re- sume her old game of attempting to divide the allies. ) Von Simons, the German foreign minister, with the aid of the chan- cellor, in his latest move on the repa- rations chessboard, seeks mediators in a situation which requires none. + Czechoslovakia flatly refused to in- tervene. The Pope has failed to heed a similar appeal. Modification of Treaty. And now the American Secretary of State, Mr. Hughes, acting for Presi- dent Harding puts an end to Ger- many’s hopes of ‘“mediation.” He says, in effect, that the United States will be glad to call to the attention of the allies any definite proposals Germany may have to make, and the inference is plain that the United States will consider these proposals in company with the allies. The Hughes note shows anew that the Tnited States is mot willing to annul the sacred claims of our war vic- tims against Germany. In this connection let me point out that the United States, by following @ course outlined in President Hard- ing’s message to Congress, can play a great and useful role. Articles 309 and 310 of the treaty of Versailles contain a formula permitting the United States to play such a role. The formula reads: “This article shall not apply as be- —We are now tra- of waiting and tween the United States on the one|and. recently by Julio Cestero. whose ‘hand and Germany on the other.” By applying this formula, through |diplomatic character. agreement with the allies, to such [received by President Yrigoyen, and other articles of the treaty to which | their lectures, articles and interviews the new administration at Washing- ton does not wish to subscribe the whole of the remainder can promptly | Pavey on be put in force and the group of nations which won the war against Germany be reconstituted. Some Americans recently have writ- the calculations have heen made {®old marks. It is important not to be deceived in this connection, for the difference existing between the gold |standard and paper money is only temporary and Germany's first pay- ments will quickly restore the franc| to parity. . Despite her protestations to Wash- ington. Germany probably will con- tinue to maneuver to resist payments. Events of the last few months have encouraged her to do so. If a year ago the Germans had been made to understand that the Versailles peace was a serious matter and that her signature must be honored, the coer- cive steps being contemplated today would be unnecessary. (Copyright, 1921.) DOMINICAN LIBERTY iWill Use Her Friendly Offices With U. S. for Restoration of Independence. By the Associated Pres BUENOS AIRES, April 23.—The Ar- Igenllne government is preparing to use its friendly offices in Washington in favor of the speediest possible res- toration of Dominican independence, it is learned at the foreign office. President Yrigoyen, it is understood from what was said, has given as- Surances to this effect to the repre- sentatives of Santo Domingo, who have been visiting all the capitals of South America to plead theimcause before governments and peoples. Just what form the Argentine rep- resentations will take has not yet been decided, but the fcreign office informant declared some step would be taken which would manifest the interest of the Argentine government in the restoration of the soverignty of the sister republic. The Dominican cause has been twice pleaded here in the past few months by delegates of the Dominican na- tional junta, by Francisco Henriquez y Carvajal, former provisional presi- dent of Santo Domingo, in January mission has been described as of a Both men were describing alleged injustices of occu- pation by the United States forces idely reported. In connecfion with Argentina’s pro- posed action it became known today that Argentina during the Wilson ad- tén that the Knox resolution, more or | ministration used her friendly offices less completed by a declaration of general principles, would satisfy France. I cannot allow this misun- derstanding to pass unchallenged. As 1 have cabled several times, what Francs asks of America is just what Mr. Harding’s presidential message proclaims, namely, the ratification of the essential bases of the peace in conformity with the essential bases of the war. French public opinion re- mains unanimous on that subject. Our meaning is far from the meaning of the Knox resolution. Cost of Recomstruction. I have just returned from a three- day visit to the devastated region of the Chemin des Dames, a theater of war during fifty-two months of con- stant battle. I examined scores of villages in detail. All of the inhab- itants-are working, but they are liv- ing in huts, for no houses have been rebuilt. I also examined contractors’ books. It is undeniable that con- struction which cost 20,000 francs in 1914 would cost hundreds of thou- sands today. This comparison, which is general throughout the destroyed zone, will explain the high figures at which the reparations commission necessarily must arrive. Some per- expect a lower figure because to bring about ratification by the United States of the Colombian treaty, Ambassador Le Breton having spoken on the subject to the American Sec- retary of State, in accordance with instructions from his government. Thanks for this act was conveyed to Forelgn Minister Pusyrredon by Gen. Carloz Quervo Marques, Colom- bian minister to Argentina, Thurs- day after word was received of rat fication of the treaty by the United States Senate. P e PLAN LARGER LIBERTIES.

SBERAN PLGHT BLAMED ON APAN Deplorable Conditions Laid to Empire’s Expedition and Political Motives. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 12 VLADIVOSTOK, Siberia, April 21 (Delayed).—The first touches of spring - are beginning to appear, yet Siberia remains inert and paralyzed as If she were sleeping off the ef- fects of four years of warfare and devastation. . This summarizes the impression formed after many hours of travel through a once prosperous section of the country. The ice is breaking in the rivers, the trees are budding and threadbare overcoats are being boxed for another summer's storage, yet in the country miles of fertile fields are untouched and in the cities the factories and mills are idle and silent. Despite the fact that the Far East- ern republic is negotiating with the United States and other nations for trade and recognition, Japan is the biggest foreign factor in Siberia to- day, and many blame the bad condi- tions here to the presence of the Jap- anese expediffon. The area of occu- pation around Vladivostok has been reduced considerably, but it has been correspondingly extended in Kam- chatka and other places. Those who realize that the primary purpose of the expedition In Siberia is to advance the interests of Japan politically and commercially, which it is endeavor- ing to do every minute of the day and night, see some justification for Japan’s moves. Hopes of Japan. Persons who see deep motives be- hind the Japanese occupation say the chief net results which Tokio hopes to obtain from the present expedition are these: 1. Permanent possession of Viadi-| vostok and Kamchatka, as well as| Saghalien fisheries, mines, oil n.msl i i ar;i forests, . Valuable concessions in r parts of Siberia, forcing the (“,';5?& government to grant them by harass- ing and starving the country. 3. Possession of the Ussuri railroad, the sole line connecting Vladivostok with the remainder of Siberia. The | plan seems to be to wreck it to such | an extent that it will have to be given to Japan. 4. The ruin of the port of Vladivos- tok. thus diverting shipping to the Japanese port of Dairen (Port Ar- thur). The economic survival of Siberla depends upon a single rallroad. The Japanese have been in frequent clashes with the interallied railway board representing Great Britain, France, Japan, the United States, China and Russia. The Japanese in- sist that the first function of the road is to satisfy military needs. Gen. Shibo, director of military transportation, issued an order lim- iting the sphere of the interallied board’s jurisdiction and urged the Russians to demand of the allies that they abolish the road. American Goods Detained. Numerous instances of military in- terference with the operation of the trains are cited. Conspicuous among them is the holding at this time: of 720 cars and two trains of workmen at the Eveenievka station on the north boundary of the zone of occu- pation. The majority of the stalled cars contain badly needed railroad supplies. Others are fllled with nard- ware, building materials and medical guods. Thero are three cars filled with American boots purchased by the railroad employes = Several cars of goods owned by American frms were Feld a couple of weeks before they were released.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News, Copyright, 1921. PARIS, France, April 23.— Andre Clemen- ceau's right-hand man and who, next to the “big three” (Loyd George, Wil- son and Clemenccau), was probably more active in preparing the famous treaty of Versailles than any other individual, has now published his long-expected book, entitled “The Peace.” It is a remarkable work, clear and vigorous and crushing in the intensity of its purpose. The two most famous books heretofore writ the peace conference: of John M. Ke s and Robert Lan- sing—were compos y men who were opposed to c n features of the treaty. M. Tardieu's book, on the contrary, is a defense of the treaty all the way through. M. Tardieu. in this volume. blows away commonplace criticisms like so much chaff. He shows how carefully the work of the conference was Dre pared, how conscientiously the de- cisions were taken and why the de- cisions could not have been other- wise. He reinforces his statements with many hitherto unpublished docu- ments. After reading his book one can hardly avoid the conviction that if all these facts could have been given the world a year and a half sooner most of the current objections to the treaty would have been killed in the germ. He shows, for example, how every argument which has been brought up against the treaty’s repa- rations settlements was discussed again and again at the time of the conference and was finally overruled for valid and definite reasons. Allies Evolved Fourteen Points, Though the book is intended specifi cally for the French public, there are many observations of interest in it to Americans. It has been commonly assumed in the United States and else- where that the “fourteen points” were the unique offspring of President Wil- son's somewhat abstract and some- what scholastic mind. M. Tardieu proves by documents that the four- teen points were in reality but a slight variation of the war aims ex- pressed repeatedly in the course of the war by the allies themselves. In par- ticular a note sent by M. Briand to President Wilson in the name of the 1917, outlining the allies foreshadowed al- most phrase for phrase the fourteen points, even to the declaration of the necessity of forming a league of na- tions, M. Tardieu concludes that the four- teen points were a spontancous out- giowth of the war itself and that to make peace on any other basis was impossible. To the criticism that the treaty of Versailles violates this basis M. Tardieu opposes a categoric de- nial, maintaining that what to the uninitiated appear to be violations are merely points where onc prin- ciple came in conflict with another equally imperious and where the transaction was inevitable. Gave Fair Hearing to AlL The legend that peace was made in dictatorial secrecy by three men alone is also shattered by M. Tardieu, who maintains that never before was a treaty so carcfully prepared and so con- scientiously elaborated with the help of 80 many technicians. _ “In every question,” he says, interested ‘parties were loyally heard as often as they expressed the desire to be heard. The treaty was studied, dis- cussed and prepared for six months by “all the gy 47 2%, Y 2:15 Daily 333 | Sunday 525 Reserved Seat: 3100 815 26c at Daily M CORRECTED ADVERTISEMENT FOR The Eminent Beauty MISS “CYCLE OF SONGS KITTY i, the Dancing Phenomenon: Lillian Beresfe more than sixty technical commissions, on which each” country had placed its qualified specialists, and which held 1,046 meeting: “The conclusions of these commis- sions were verified by twenty-six special inquiries on the ground and were discussed from January 10 to June 28 by three bodies—the council of foreign ministers, which held thirty-nine meetings; the council of [ten. which held seventy-two meetings. d the council of four. which held meetings. These three councils zave hearings not only to the chair- men of the technical commissions and representatives of interested allied or neutral countries.” M. Tardicu expresses the belief that the failure of the treaty before Amer- ican public opinion was largely due to the fact that President ness left its text defenseless face of an exceedingly active attack on the part of Mr. Wilson's opponents. He discusses in detail all the great decigions and all the great crises of the conference with revealing clarity. U. S.
