FRENCH EXPECTED 10 DROP DEMANDS Believe Submarine Claim Will Be Traded for Allied Moral Support. SAFETY ALONE DESIRED London Declares France Will Change Stand Before Sacrific- ing Good -Will of World. BY EDWARD PRICE BELL. (By Cable to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921.) LONDON, England, January 1.— Students of the political and strategic situation in Europe Dbelieve that France is disposed to trade her claim for a large fleet of submarines for some kind of a definite assurance from Britain and Italy and possibly the United States that she will be de- fended if attacked. It is said that in- formal suggestions along this line have been made by the British gov- ernment to Ambassador Harvey. If so it is not hard to guess the replies that must have been given. Britain, as every one knows, eady to guarantee France against renewed German aggression provided the United obligation. | that the idea binding a g resents his feeling in the.matter to be that of the Washington government as_well. But neither Downing street nor the American embassy in London would speak discouragingly to France on the question of the latter’s security. Both would assure the French government of the moral certainty that if there were a recrudescence of the Prussian peril Britain and the United States would regard themselves as menaced as much as ince and would align their fo with the French, as they did in the great war. Ambitions Only Apparent. Tt is generally thought in London that France's apparent militaristic am bitions are only appar 1t is real- ized that the susceptibilities of some Frenchmen, especially Frenchmen of naval connections, have been “wounded by the events in Washington. It is known that these Frenchmen heartily dislike what they consider the reflec: tions on France of the naval arrange: ments at the arms limitation confer- ence. But it is fancied that these per- sons have no decisive power in France and that the standpoint they have pressed in Washington would be aban- doned if the declared moral attitude of Britain and the United States toward French security were translated into a categoric agreement. Competent politicians in London cannot believe that France covets such an adventure as brought Ger- many to grief. They believe that she wants merely safety, and would use the claim for submarines to obtain allies as the price of her acquiescence in the effort to limit naval strength and minimize the horrors of naval warfare. All along there has been a feeling here that the voice of Sarraut join in the! 3 1y well known {one, wishes to be self-sufficlent and 1 | i | | KOREANS ASK HEARING. | Appeal to Parley for Chance to Present Self-Government Case. Koreans in Washington have issued an appeal to the arms conference for a hearing on the right to self-gov- ernment and to present a protest agalinst inexation. ‘The signers claim to be the duly delegated repre- sentatives of the 250 districts of the country and are said to represent every class of Korea's population. The petition recounts the annexa- tion of Korea by Japan, asserts the necessity of settling the Korean problem as a prerequisite of peace in Asia and_asserts the ability and right of Korea to self-government. The people of Korea, the petition said, have never glven their assent to annexation and “recognize and de- clare that the government which we claim as our own is our provisional govefnment now temporarily estab- lished at Shanghai.” —ee the voice of Briand or of any other first-rank French statesman. Whether France does or does not get the ailles willing to guarantee her boundaries it is doubtes her swollen fleet of submarines will ever be seen except on paper. It is argued that France must ask herself: “Which MILITARY ALLIANGE, BORAH CALLS PA Speaking at Church, sénator Offers Amendment to Four- Power Treaty. The four-power treaty was called purely and simply a military nlllzncel in an attaglewon it made by Senator Borah of Kfaho yesterday afternoon at the Churfh of the Covenant, in his first public speech on the subject out- side of the Senate. He proposed as a test as to wheth- er or not it was a peace or a mili- ary alliance that the contracting powers accept the following reserva- tion: “The high contracting parties agree to restore within one year and there- is worth more to me, .the trust and good will of Great Britain, the United States, Italy and the rest of the world or 90,000 tons of submarines with the opinion of humanity violently hostile to the Prussian way of using sub- marines?" Fairly confronted with this question, France is expected to lose little time in rejecting the submarine demand and accepting the fellwship of the world. If she acts otherwise, there is no difference of opinion in England as to what Great Britain will do—she will make her anti-submarine defenses commensurate with any contiguous underwater power of attack. British editors, discussing Sarrauts statement that France does not wish to be considered as beholden to any seorns the aid of neighbors, point out that with all her brilliance, valor and tenacity she would have been crushed by Germany except for the foreign help she received. And they add that her position wouid not be difterent in a future crisis of like gravity, ITALIAN GUNS TRAINED ON TOWN OF SEBENICO readnaught Demands Satisfaction From Croats for Attack “on Sailors. LONDON, January 1.—A dispatch to the Central News from Rome dated Saturday, quoting the Epoca’s Trieste correspondent, says the Italian dread- naught Dante Alighieri has its guns trained on th> town of Sebenico, pending the according of satisfaction from the Croats for their allaced ot- tack last week on sailors from the Italian warship Audace. the dispatch adds, claim_that the Ttalians were responsible for the dis- orders. Other Ttalian warships are said to be_arriving in Dalmatian waters. Sailors from the Audace were de- clared in dispatches last week to have been attacked and clubbed by mobs in Sebenico when they went ashore. ~ Other dispatches said that the sailors. offended by remarks of civilians, fired their rifles. Gen- darmes restored order and escorted the sailors aboard their vessel.

It is the members of this alliance who have, during re- cent years, disregarded the rights of ol!er nations and peoples, and not th® nations which are on the out- side of the alliance. The disturbances in the far east and the things which threaten war arise out of a faflure of the nations now proposing to form this alliance to regard the rights of other nations, and not out of the acts of those who are excluded from the alliance. There would be no far eas:- ern question of a disturbing nature if the members of this proposed alliance had respected the rights of the weak or more peacefully disposed peoples of the east. Let the alliance there- fore specifically provide that the al- liance itself and each and all of its members will respect the rights and sovereignty and interest of other peo- ples and let it be provided that if they do not, the alliance is dissolved. “I think one of the most interesting and illuminating ‘revealments of modern diplomacy is this proposition that the nations which have been doing all the ‘aggressing.’ or attack- ing, should get together and solemnly form an alliance against those nations who have not been guilty of any such things. You would not need any al- liances in the far east if it were not necessary to protect the territory which has been unjustly obtained by the members of the alliance. Protests Against Guarantee. “T protest against the people of the United States being asked to guaran- tee protection against disturbances and war which may ‘be brought about or inspired by the wrongdoing of members of the alliance itself. o far as this treaty including the mainland of Japan is concerned, while that is important, it is by no means the most important feature of the treaty. If any nation should attack any island belonging to Japan .we would be involved just as truly as If it attacked the mainland of Japan. Unless this alliance is stripped of its militaristic features, it would be the most dangerous treaty the United States could possibly sign. It would destroy any possible good which has come from this conference in the way of disarmament. If the last ten years are any indication at all of the next ten years, war will inevitably come in the far east, but it will come by rea- First, that the na- tions are armed to the teeth, and second. that the armed nations and the allied nations are doing.all the attacking and committing all the ‘ag- gressions.’ “‘Are the members of this alliance willing to restore the territory, the tranchises, the privileges, which other peoples claim have been taken from them unjustly and which are now the cause of all the troubles in the far east? It not, then this alliance must intend te hold these things regardless of the jus- tice of their holding. Are they willing to arbitrate these matters? If not, then they must intend to hold them by force, and regardless of the language of the alliance, it becomes an alliance by force —a military alliance. In other words, the basis of any alliance other than a sheer military alliance must be justice— must be righteousness. An alliance not founded upon these things is not, and never can be, other than an alliance based upon force. In other words, a military alliance—and that is precisely what this is. It was made for that pur- pose. It will be executed in that spirit.” — STUDY OF SHAKESPEARE. Joint Authorship Involved in Plays Subject of Research.

Peru's communication of December 23 accused Chile of having caagsed the expulsion of Peruvians from Tac- na, Arica and Tarapaca; occupation of part of the province of Tarata, in Peru; incorporation in Chilean terri- tory of the borax producing district of Chilcaya,-and the retention of part of the guano revenue from the Lobous Islands: BRITAIN TO MAKE LOAN TO GREEK GOVERNMENT Condition Is Made That 15,000,000 Pound Fund Will Be Used to Buy English Products.

The British government, according to the announcement, renounces the privi- | leges conferred on it by article IV of the convention of February 10, 1918, signed by Great Britain, France, the United States and Greece, which pro- vided that, until the liquidation of out- standing obligations by Greece. no new guarantee for a foreign loan would be given her. The Greek government also renounces its demands for payment by the Britisa government of the sum of 5,500,000 pounds sterling, representing the re- mainder of the sum not yet paid by Great Britain of the loan to Greece un- der the 19i8 convention.

PORTUGAL IN PANIC, FEARING UPHEAVAL National Hysteria Developed as Result of Slaying of Statesmen in October. LISBON, December 6.—People of this city have been in a condition of panic, and, in fact, the whole country has been suffering from a kind of national hysteria dt intervals since the assassination of six Portuguese statesmen in October. For more than ten days the most alarming and contradictory reports have been circulated to the effect that two revolutionary movements were organizing, each anxious to forestall the other. Threats were distributed that the new outbreak would be of a most sanguinary character. Meetings were held by all the revo- lutionary groups, and the speeches of their leaders, filled with threats and calling the people to arms, Were printed in the daily papers. Gpvernment Accused. The agitators based their threats on the ground that the government in power had not carried out the pro- gram which was the outcome of the revolution. Many people were 50 frightened by these warnings of a new revolution tional crimes and terrorizing threats, which keep the public in a state of nervous tension appfoaching nationa! hysteria. i Days, and even hours, have been set for the outbfesh of the revolutioh, and timorous persons Lave bolted themselves in their houses, convinced that the revolutionary hordes would begin their work in the hours of darkness. In the face of this situation it was announced recently that all the repub- lican parties had agreed to form a strong defensive coalition and try to restore order without resorting ‘to warlike measures. The idea was well received by public opinion, but it is now stated that the plan has failen through. Thus the problem remains unsettled, and none can tell whether order and peace will be restored in vexed Portugal only by fresh revolu- tions and bjoodshed. DEPORTEE LEAPS IN SEA.
