FRENCH UNMOVED BY BRITAIN'S NOTE Statement of American Treasury on Debts Payment Anticipated in Paris. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Senator James Reed's victory In the democratic primaries is the po- litical sensation of the moment here, not because the Wilson democrats are disappointed that Breckinridge Long lost or the republicans are jubilant because an anti-league-of-nations man triumphed, but because both democratis and republicans admit the chances are brighter that a republi- can will be elected United States senator from Missouri next autumn. As a personal proposition the re- publicans wanted Jim Reed to win. They 1lke the way he fought along- side of them in the treaty fight after the war and they admire his courage. But when it comes to hoping for Jim Reed's re-election to the Scnate in November that different story. | By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, Mo., August 4.—James A.

Effect of Campbell Defeat. Apart from the result in Missourf the republican administration can privately derive much encouragement from the defeat of Representative Phil Campbell of Kansas, chairman of the rules committee of the House. Just as Senator McCumber, as chair- man of the finance committee, has shown a disposition to go along in- dependently of White House wishes, so has it been difficult ever now and then for the administration to get Chairman Campbell to give a rule whereby important legislation could be brought to an early vote. It is an open secret that Mr. Camp- bell's unwillingness to give the admin- istration a rule so as to bring the ship subsidy biil to a vote has been a handi- cap to Mr. Harding's pet measure. e democratic leaders here do mnot take a pessimistic view of any of the elections. The Missouri contest they re- gard as a personal affair with an ex- traneous influence brought in by Mr. Wilson’s earlier letters on Mr. Reed’ personality. They say it presages noth- Jng natfonal or far-reaching. As for Mr. Campbell's defeat in Kansas, they point to it as a sign of the times. Mr. Campbell himself ~ says idle strikers voted almost solidly against him. This straw is naturally made the most of by the democrats, who count upon the cumulative power of all the discontented elements in the country to swing Congress in their direction next fall.

Chemical wood pulp was restored to the tariff free list vesterday by the Senate, which rejected, 30 to 22, an amendment proposed by the finance committee majority to make it dutia- ble at 5 per cent ad valorem. Three senators who publish newspapers— Capper of Kansas, Glass of Virginia and Hitchcock of Nebraska—withheld their votes. Fifteen G. O. P. Nay Votes. Fifteen republicans voted against the committee amendment and three dem- ocrats supported it. The republicans were Borah, Bursum, Calder, Cummins, France. Keys, McKinley, Moses. Nelson, Nicholson, Norbeck, Oddie, Spencer. Sterling and Willis The democrats were Broussard, Fletcher and Ransdell. In the debate opposition to the pro- posal was voiced by Senator Walsh of Montana, Walsh of Mlunchuut&. Pomerene of Ohio and Sheppard of Texas, while those supporting In- cluded Hale and Fernald of Maine, Lodge of Massachusetts, Lenroot of Wisconsin, republicans, and Ransdell, democrat, Louisiana. Opponents argued that a duty on this pulp would result in the denuding of American forests, discrimination against American paper mills and also that it would conmstitute a tax on the dissemination of knowledge. Propon- ents argued that only a small propor- tion of the timber cut annually went into pulp; that the industry needed protection from Canadian mills and, finally, the tax imposed, while only a small burden on the newspapers, paper manufacturers and bookmakers: would yleld the government $3,000,000 in Tevenue.

Yesterday's debate in the house of commons on interallied debts and German reparations proved disap- pointing. 1t had been expected the debate would bring out further in- teresting facts respecting the recent note of the Earl of Lalfour on the subject and regarding Great Britain's future policy on the whole subject of_international obligations. It was apparent that Premier Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer Horne, Herbert H. Asquith. one of the liberal leaders, and other speal ers made a studied effort to say nothing which would embarrass open and impartial discussion of the sub- ject at next week's important con- lerence in London between the al- lied leaders. During the five hours of debate there was constant reiteration of Great Britain’s intention to repay her debt to the United States, but no pains were spared to make cleazly apparent Great Britain's sacrifices in the war, her generous post-armistice attitude and her staggering burdens of taxation. Mr. Asquith won mild approbation trom one side of the house by declar- Ing the Balfour note impolitic and in opportune, but said he hoped subse- quent events would prove the coi trary. Little Faith in Parley. Asquith, whose remarks he chracter- ized as unfortunate. Declaring there was an absence of any concrete Sug- gestions or a better formula than al- ready had been adopted for a solution of the debts and reparations ques- tlons, the premier calied attention fo Mr. Asquith’s desire for a clean slafe. He sald that was exactly what Lord Balfour's note had advocated. “But it is not a clean slate,” he add- ed, “when you wipe off every debt due us and when you engrave more deep- ly upon the slate the debt which is due by us to other people. That isn’t a clean slate. It neither cleans it nor adorns it nor makes it more use- tol” ", The premier concluded by saying that he did not expect next week's conference to settle the situation, merce, Tex., only » who escaped by ume of n parnchute—iwith “only” two skull fractures and every hone in the left side of hix body brokem—when the afrship .vhich he was fiying. . xploded 2,500 feet above American survivor of the ZR-2 ENJOY COOL DEN bear, in his native habitat among the frozen wastes of the arctic, frequently finds heat that compares favorably with the Washington brand.

By the Asscciated Press. PARIS, August 4.—The official an- nouncement of the American Trea: Earl of Balfour regarding interallied debts would cause no change in the policy of the United States with ro- spect to them caused no surgrise in official circles in Paris, where tho at- titude of the United States govern- note was published. Further, it has been learned that Lord Balfour's communication proba- bly will have no effect on the de: tailed reparations plan which Pre- mier Poincare has drawn up for the London mecting next week, the French cabinet having unanimously approved the premier's proposal and his decislon to present it to the Brit- ish government. The cabinet's action was mereiy confirmation of the formal approval of the scheme given at the last meet. ing, but, coming as it did after Ire- terpreted as meaning that the Brit- ish view concerning debts will not have the effect of preventing M. Poin- care from exposing his general plan for a settlement of the reparations and debts questions. This plan, it is generally agreed, is to include a reduction in the total German indemnity, in return for & proportionate cancellation of the French debt to Great Britain, priority to France on account of the devastat- ed regions and the imposition of the strictest financlal control upon Ger- many in order to insure payment of the reduced reparations bill and pre- vent the flight of capital from that country. Coupled with this is the fact that assurances must be given France that the International bank- be able to arrange a sub- stantial loan to Germany, to be large- ly devoted to reparations payments during the next two or three years. There was considerable less pe: simism In official circles today over the effect which it was thought the Balfour note would have on the Lon- don meeting. Observers see the note more as an opening argument on the general discussion of debts rather than the declaration of a fixed policy, especially when it is onsidered that no change can be exp-cted from the United States. The declaration of the American Treasury Department was considered to again make it clear that the initiative must come from Europe in the matter of a cancella- tion of debts, and it was pointed out that the excellent effect which a par- 1 writing off of debts would have would not be lost sight of when the American government reconsiders its attitude at some future tim RIVAL CONCEDES M’KELLAR VICTORY (Continued from First Page) quah, whom she defeated for re-elec- tion in 1920, in the second district.

August 4—The republican gubernatorial race today {apparently was decided in favor of ‘W. Y.

R. Brewster, republican nominee for senator, will poll a plurality ap- proximately 2,000 over his five o ponents, William Sacks, light win and beer advocate, three progressives and one soldier. A factor that has come to the fo: in the democratic senatorial contest, owing to Its closeness, is.the sige of the absentee vore. About 1,500 Na- tional Guardsmen, away from home on strike duty at various railroad centers of the state. may play a prom- inent part in the absentee hallot. There is no way of ascertaining the exact number of absentee voies, how- ever, until the offic mad: It appears likely that Mr. Long will receive a majority of the absentes militiamen’s votes, as many of them are from the rural districts where he showed his best strength. With 219 scattered pfecincts in thirty-four counties unheard from Mr. Long would have to poll more than thirty-one votes more than Reed per precinct to overtake the latter iead. A Mr. Long continued optimistic over the outcome, however, saying the vote “I expect the officjal count to add considerably to my vote,” Mr. Long said, “but I do not expect any assist- ance from the republican or German element. Any additions the officlal count may give me I am sure will be from the ballots of regular democrats, who are the only ones who should have voted in a democratic primary. Mr. Long refer to charges that a number of republicans voted for Se ator Reed in Tuesday's primar. TUnder the law, persons of opposit: party afliation may vote a different ticket in a primary providing they pledge to vote that ticket in the regu- lar election. The law cannot be en- forced, however, as prominent lawyers point out that all a person has to do iz “change his mind” between the primary and the regular election t avoid penalties of the statute.
