FRANCE MAY NEED -2 6 AL ISTS DEEIDE ' S comeron ASSALS TINKERING TOAD A FOLETT LOAN FROM BRITAIN Such Help Necess_ary if Ger- many Cannot Pay Debts Now, Says Tardieu. 1 FRENCH IN HARD POSITION No Near Collection of Reparations Than Eighteen Months Ago, Expert Declares. BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commissioner to Amerfen. Capyright, 1922, big repara- is next on the calen- struggle dar. The less ( bitter becomes her talk a ratio nd it does not seem that France's chances of collecting are any better than they were eighteen months ago. It is unnecessary to repeat the events which have led to the present crisis. Germany's reply of May .31 promising what the reparations com- misslon demanded was based on the hypothesis of an International loan. The bankers' committee decided the loan was impossible unless Germany's debt was reduced, which France de-| clines, and which the treaty stipu- Jates shall not Le done excepting by unanimous vote of the commission. France's present position, being founded on German promises, which, in turn, are based on the un- realized hypothesis. tertainly is not favorabie. For the present we are operating under the Cannes agree- ment, which provides for only 72 000,000 marks annually, when Belgium's priority is deducted there is little left for France. Business Badly Conducted. This whole business still is being badly conducted. Take the case of the bankers, for instance. Their job is to Securities to the public. They der whether their wares their customers. An absolute a guaran- tee of suffic wnnual payments to meet the i and amortization. If this condition is not fulfilled it is useless to talk ubout a loam Yet the bankers were called to- gether before any effort was made to mpel Germany to arrange such an- aturatly the bank- ers decided was impossible, When they suggested a reduction of the debt they merely meant it's easler to borrow one billion than ten bil- lons. Faced by these facts, many Frenchmen are despairingly asking nual payments. a 1 Whither we are trending. [ myself do not share this pessimism? Why? Bacause, considering the way the rep- arations matters have been handled for thirty months it would be more astonishing i# any result had been achieved. The whole thing now must be undertaken anew with certain dif- fenlties that,did not exist in 1920, but which are by no means insurmount- able. Two-Fold Difficulties. These difficulties are of two kinds, moral and financial. -Undevastated Germany certainly can pay in full, but the notion that she cannot has spread and taken root throughout Germany, making a. psychological obstacle. Moreover, Germany, by her mad inflatlon policy, has caused the mark to fall so low it no longer is worth anything, hence a monetary obstacle When Germany has been taught by appropriate action—occupation of the Ruhr is unnecessary for that—that peace treaties are serfous-affairs and payments must be made; when marks have been stabilized, even at a very low rate of exchange, and revenues from taxes can be calculated with some cretainty, and when German taxes are made equivalent to French- men’s, then annuities can be arranged and loans based upon such annuities won't be difficult. Then, and then only, can a reduction of the debt be considered based on an equivalent reduction of all other war debts. Cart Before the Horse. For two years the allied policy has been consistently to place the cart before the horse. Discussions of all sorts covering allied debt cancella- tions, loans and many others wholly unrealizable have taken place, but until Germany's resources are defi- nitely utilized for regular payments nothing can be done. Sooner or later this condition will be fulfilled. If Germany needed a year or two of respite France would have to have temporary help, and this would give Great Britain the opportunity to show he r solidarity with France without risk, and this would have a happy effect in America. . At any rate, we cannot continue turning our backs to the truth both in London and in Paris, because tauth finally will pravail, as always. RETURN OF RICKI BELIEVED CERTAIN Only Change of c;lbinet in Italy Would Affect Envoy, [ Says Mowrer. BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922. ROME, June 17.—Ambassador Ro- landi Riccl Is returning to Italy for his annaul vacation, but so far ab- solutely no decision has been taken eoncerning his permanency in Wash- ington. The opinion of Italjan. officials is that, notwithstanding his ultra-mo ern diplomatic methods, he has not yet succeeded in obtaining for Italy any particular business advantages from the United States.. He has made mhany. friends, who may some day be useful, and he has, perhaps, succeeded in making the business opportunities achievements of modern_Italy mner kngwn in the United States. But his chief success has been in get- ting himself talked about and his work commented upon. i1s speeches on questions felt to be exclusively American may or may not have been quite correct and his atti- tude and words to the Italian emigrant colonies, in which he has spent so much time, may not have been free from criticism. Those who have much to do with the foreign affairs believe that the best diplomat is the one'of whom the least is said. and persons who hold to that bellef are irritated by the clouds of American comment. - ‘Ambassador Ricci's continuance in ‘Washington might, therefore, be du- bious, especlally if the decision were to be made rofessional diplomats. But Rolandi Ricci a ¥ e-long per- sonal friend of Sig. Giolitti, the real remier, ' through Liugl Fecta, his eutenant, of the present cabinet, nd, consequently, no decision against im is likely to be taken for the pres- .ent. A change in the Itallan cabinet could, however, hardly fail to be fol- Jowed by a chlnfa in- Italy's diplo- matic representative at Washington. NOTED SINGER COMING.

GARY Declares Business Men Be- lieve in Superiority of Right Over Might. By the Assoclated Press, EVANSTON, 1IL, June 17.—"A large majority of business men, now con- duct their affairs in accordance with the avowed belief that right is su- perior to might; that morality is on a par with legality and that the observance of both is essential to worthy achievements,” Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, sald in an address today to the alumni Association of Northwestern University. Business also recognizes, he said, “that the right of customers must al- ways be respected; that employes are associates, rather than servants and should be treated accordingly; that stockholders of corporations as well as partners are entitled to any in- formation immediately on receipt of the same by an officer or partner; tructive competition must give way to humane competition, and that full and prompt publicity of all facts involving the public weal is demanded, Change in Standards. Judge Gary, whose subject, was “Ethics in Business,” said lhi! “‘within the last tyenty vears or more there has been a decided change in the standards and conduct of business.” Among the reasons the speaker cited for the ‘“radical change” in ethical standards in business was the influence of Theodore Roosevelt, who has many disciples, and with their assistance created a strong public opinion In favor of honest business manage- ment. Profits Another Motive. Judge Gary gave as another reason increased profits. Declaring that while this motive “is not equally worthy with others, it is very prac- tical and influential with many who would not otherwise be converted.” Judge Gary offered ‘as “a.passing suggestion the observation” that henceforth the political party which pays the most attention to ethics 1s likely to secure indorsement by the majority of voters, including espec- ially women.” FALLS FROM BALCONY."

TIRANA, Albania, May 31.—“Rec- z said Bey Ahmet Zogu, Al- s ministé of the interfor, to the Associated Press correspondent in a recent interview. “If America rec- ognizes us and sends a diplomatic representative to Albania it will be the biggest boost Albania can have,” he declared, “We are an gnclent and proud race. We have traditions antedating the Christian era. We have suffered under the tyrant's heel. We have been oppressed by both Asjatic and European peoples. We have dreamed for centuries a dream of freedom. We are the most homogeneous race in the Balkans and long for the chance to determine our destiny by ourselves. America's “Glorious Deeds.” whose pages of history with glorfous deeds in the ause of human liberty, should rec- ognize Albania, for it is a coun which has sufféred long centuries of serfdom and now, born again as & nation, wants to retain the liberty so long withheld.” Bey Ahmet Zogu comes of noble fighting stock.
