By Cuble to The Star and Chicago Daily News. pyright, 1921 PARIS, Frlnce June 30.—In Europe two important movements are under way. One is the ‘grouping of the new states in central and eastern Eu- rope into a system of alliances un=- der ench auspices. A solid block, more or less led by France, has thus been formed. It consists of,Jugo- slavia, Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Pbland. In the face of this block it has become obvious to Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria that attempts to recover their lost territories would néw be futile. Economic agreemgrts are therefore being negotiated tween Hungary, Austria and the enlen!e states, the lead being taken by the enlightened statesmanship of Czechoslovakia. As for Bulgaria, that country proposes to federaate with Jugosivia. The other development in Hurope is the increasing openness of the op- position between FKrance and Great Britain. Prime Minister Lloyd George's suggestion that the Germans take up arms to oppose the Poles in Upper Silesia led almost to a break between Great Britain and Poland, the ally of Frafce, which has re- plied by opening direct, concilatory negotiations with Germany so as to be in position to do without Britain's support if necessary. Many people, however, botj iry France and Britaian are becoming increasingly convinced of the necessity of re-establishing the Franco-British alliance, and both na- tions accordingly stand at the cross- roads. Italy's role in European af- fairs has become temporarily limited because of the necessity of devoliing all her energies to internal disorders. Near East Fallures.’ The Asiatic situation may conven- fently be viewed in the terms of near east and far east. Near east events have moved rapidly. The attempt of Great Britain’s catspaw, Greece, to beat the Turkish nationalists has failed. « The attempt of France and Italy to make pcace with the Turkish nationalists has ‘also failed, owing to the refusal of the Angora parlia- ment to ratify the agreemenpt which | had been negotiated.

The other is the spread of the pan-Asiatic movement from India to China, and even to Persia and Turkey, against white domina- tion. This movement may be said to have begun with Japan’s victory over Russia. It has been strengthened, first by the allies’ self-determination propaganda during the. war, and, sec- ond, by the consideration shown. to Jl)‘lln at the peace conference. It is the oriental custom to play both sides. Japan, on the ome hand, is encouraging and trying to take the lead in the pan-Asiatic move- ment and, on the other hand, is.in- timating to her ally, Great Britain, that she alone can hold this ex- plosive movement in check. Clrina, on the one hand,-is seeking the sup- port of the United States. against Japanese hegemony and, on the other, is flirting with Japan and the pan-Asiatic movement. —_— SALES TAX PREDICTED. Democratic Senators Believe Re- publicans Will Accept It. Acceptance of the sales tax by the republicans as a fulflllment of the campaign pledge to revise taxes was predicted yesterday by Senators Sim- mons of North Carolina and King of Utah, democrats. “The only suggestion as to tax re- vision from the republican side,” Sen- ator -Simmons told. the- Sanlte, “has been the sales tax. It therefore be- gins to look as though the repub- lican leaders 'lll attempt to put such a tax through.” “I predict,” said Senator King, “that the republican majority will be forced to enact es tax for want of any- thing else.” Senator. King attacked the gales tax as tending to promote the creation alnd growth of trusts and corpora- tions. HONOR ADMIRAL HALSTEAD. Rear Admiral A. S.
