LONDON, February 10.—Premier Bonar Law wlll return to the house of commons Tuesday well prepared, according to official circles, to with- stand the smoking-out process to which his government is Iikely to be subjected, owing to three months of sensational events at home and abroad. The domestic program of the ses- slon will be largely concerned with unemployntent, housing and agricul- tural relfef, interspersed with debates on foreign relations, which are ltkely 0 be Initiated when the virile labor opposition agitates for the with- drawal of the British troops on the Rhineland. Developments in the Ruhr continue to strengthen the offictal view that the French policy is hopeless, and there scems little likelihood that any Dpressure by the laborites will fmme- diately effect the government plans With respect to the Rhineland. The intimation from official circles is that tho presence of the British at Cologne depcnds largely upon the at- titude at Paris, and so long as the French accept the British policy of benevolent neutrality the troops will Tamain as a steadying force between the French and the Germans.

LLOYD GEORGE IN SADDLE. Oppositior: Chief Expected to Make Capital Out of Ruhr. By Cable to The Star and New York Tribuae, Copyright, 1923, LONDON, February 10.—Parliament Will meet Tuesday with the usual scenes of pomp and pageantry which always attend the stated opening of that body. Very soon after the state robes and gilded coaches have been put away for the next formal occa- sion, however, Great Britain's legis- lators will settle down to what is confidently expected to prove a very interesting session. The immediate concern of the mem- bers of parliament will. of course, be the foreign policy. It is antici- pated that in the debate on the ad- dress from the throne the govern- ment will be pressed for a state- ment of its policy in regard to the Ruhr situation, and there s certain to arise a demand for the withdrawal of the British troops from Germany. an opportunity for Lloyd George, in particular, to take a stand on the most important question that has arisen since he has been on the op- position benches, and judging from the tenor of the former premier's newspaper articles, it seems inevita- ble that he will challenge the ad- ministration at once. Should he enunclate a demand for Great Brit- ain's definite dissociation of herself from the French policy, he would have the support not only of most liberal and labor members, but prob- | ably a considerable number of the unfonists as well, thus confronting Bonar Law with a considerable bloc. Reference to near eastern affairs will depend largely on the events of the next few days, but the King's speech is certain to contaln some mention of that particular question. The government's program of legis- | lation for the coming sesslon is a| very moderate one, dealing chiefiy | with rent restriction and housing. the policy of agricultural credits and ad-' ministrative economles. Although the next budget is wo[ months off, the question of finance will be a dominant one. The funding of the American debt, while it greatly reduces the theoretical British pay- ments, nevertheless calls for an ap- Frropriation of approximately £10,000,- 000 more than in the current year, when only installments were pald. ‘The cost of maintaining troops and warships In the near east has also been heavy, and the chancellor of the exchequer recently pointed out that in periods of prolonged trade depres- sion revenue has a tendency to shrink. Notwithstanding all this, there is an imperative demand from the country for lower taxation, espe- efally for the beer duty. Organized industry is pressing for another shil- ling off the income tax, making the basio rate 4 shillings in a pound, or 20 per_oent. ‘The only practicable way to bring this about would be in capitalizing the cost of war pensions, which hitherto has been defrayed out of the current taxation and which this year will amount to 90,000,000 pounds. It is claimed that raising half that amount by way of a loan would per. mit the desired tax reduction and spread the charge over long terms of years. The government's recent request of the channel islands to contribute to the imperial exchequer, even though it would be only 600,000 pounds an- nually, shows that no possible souzces of revenue are being overlooked. Coincldent with the reports from America that bootleggers are being taxed on their profits, there is an unofolal suggestion here that taxes on horse racing bets, even though bets are illegal, total an enormous figure. The labor party will concentrate next session on opposing any cur- tallment in state rent restriotion, and on the housing aml unemploy- ment relief schemes, while both Lloyd George and the Asquithian liberals expect to attack the anti-dumping legislation now on the books, which they olaim smounts virtually to & " guotective tarifft, A {eral day by Turks At Lausanne, Says Tardieu Declares Policy of Blind as Lloyd Toward Abdication Was as George’s Policy Greece.

BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commissioner to America. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, February 10.—The French government seems to have been bad- Iy advised as well as the dupe of ex- ve confidence in the Turks at Lausanne. Our policy of abdication there was as blind as Lloyd George's inflammatory policy toward Greece was criminal. The Turks respect force. and force only. The minute they think any one fears them they £0 to the worst extremes. Proof of this fact came on that memorable February 4th, when Ismet Pasha yielded to England while show- ing the nost stubborness toward France. Poincare had deemed it wise to assert France's right to make a separate peace, althought not exer-! cising that right. But it was to Cur- zon that Ismet tendered the offer of eparate peace and it was Curzon refused to consider it Mistake of All this merely e ree Years. { wphasizes the mis- takes of three. vears. You all know where T stand and how 1 feel. The French and British, instead of stand- ing by their 1919 agreement and the treay of Sevres, signed in 1920, have Sought to modify 1t. And they have acted at all times in opposite direc- tions Lioyd George aroused Greek im- prrialism, which was not difficult and Dlunged Constantine's government into the tremendous Asiatic adventure, where he doubticss hoped, with the Greeks as @ screen, to obtain great advantages for Great Britain at Con- stantinople and elsewhere. | Briand, and then Poincare, met | this blunder with other mistakes. but in favor of the Turk. They decided to play the Trukish horse against the Greek horse backed by the British They made successive agreements with Kemal, whereby France aban- doned the gages which she had in hand before reaching ~any final settlement. Prestige Deprec This resulted in Franco-British mis- understandings the effects of which have been felt throughout the occi- dent, while European prestige has been greatly depreciated in the orient. Today's events have their origin there. Neither the Greeks nor the Turks will curb their ambitions so long as they think themselves strong cnough to achieve their purpose. Only one thing can check them, the decision of & united Europe. Such decisions are lacking. The ‘Turks took advantage of Lausanne to increase the demands initinted at Chanak and Smyrana. Un- questionably they had support from Berlin and Moscow. Considering the events of the last few days at Lau- sanne it is reasonable to ask whether there ix not a close connection be- tween Ismet Pasha’s refusal to sign, the Smyrna notifications to the war- ships, German resistance in the Ruhr and the recent visit to Berlin of Count Brokdorf Rantzau, German ambassador at Moscow. Either I am mistaken or you shortly will see In action what I have called for more than a vear .the Berlin-Moscow-An- gora triple alliance. Hope to Take Advantage. Tt is to be hoped that the mad re- sistance of the Turks to accepting the pact submitted at Lausanne now will be taken advantage of to improve this detestable treaty they once were ready to sign. Without mentloning the real dangers inherent in a strong armed Turkish force In Constanti- nople and Eastern Thrace the finan- cial and economic clauses meant the end of all safety and dignity for European subject< in Turke; France and the United States, who have estabilshed so many thriving schools and missfons in the Levant are particularly menaced. Those on the ground wlo are most competent to speak declare the Lausanne treaty would have condemned all schools and hospitals of this sort to death. Many indeed, already are closed. As for the Christian minorities. unless the clauses are modified the: must choose between exile and ex- termination. We must make a su- preme effort once again to set things straight in the orlent. This business is indisputably compromised by the Franco-German crises. But desplte this France and England must act in concert with others to make a united stand. Otherwise the risk of war in the orient again is visible. (Copyright, 1023.)

Graduation exercises for the class of junior aides at the Training School of Physiotheraphy were held in the gymnasium of the Physlotheraphy department of Walter Reed last week. The exercises marked the successful completion of the first course of this kind at the hospital. Surgeon General Merritt W. Ire- land of the Army presented certifi- cates to the following members of the class: Miss Mary Abigail Birch, Miss Etta Bishop Conover, Miss Ruth Vic- toria _Davis, Miss Grace Miriam Fis. mer, Miss Mildred Helen Jones, Miss Elsa Knutson, Miss Catharine Barbara Lawton, Miss Katherine Dowd Leary, Miss Eva Bessie Messenger, Miss Lucy Veronica McCabe and Miss Evelyn Noble. Ten of the graduates have accepted appointments in the physiotherapy departments of the U. 8. Army hos- pitals, it was stated. A lecture on physiotherapy was given by Dr. Frank B. Granger, of Boston, Mass., who was the principal speaker. Dr. Granger is a lieutenant colonel in the Medical Reserve Corp: and at one time was the director at Walter Reed Hospital. To his activi- ties, the organization of physiothe- rapy departments in army hospitals during 1918 and 1919 are largely at- tributed, Other School Activities. Other schools which have turned out many graduates are: The School of Dieticians, where the value of foods and methods of preparing them are taught; the School of Occupational Therapy, in which instruction is given for the teaching of trades of all sorts and the echool for patients, in the re- construction department, where many different courses are taught. ‘The patient is allowed to select the subjects he desires and according to his wishes is given instruction in languages, mathematics, commercial courses, drafting and mechanioal drawisg, art work, weaving, all kinds of automobile repair work, reed and cane work, studies in agriculture or in crafts of any kind that he might wish to make a study of. There are forty aides now employed in the dif- ferent sections of the arts and crafts department where the patients who are able to be up and around come to receive instruction and thoss who are bedridden recelve instruction in any line of work which they want and are able, to do along with their particular physical handicap. 4% was pointed out that out of 700 NG, TO FACE JAIL day night she managed to elude the guards of that institution and made her escape, only to be captured in less than twenty-four hours. She was found in the company of a man, and an additional charge of miscon- duct was added to her already long list While waiting in the cell room of Judge McMahon's court for a hearing. Mrs, Cook was suddenly seized with a dewire for a drink. An overly trust- ful guard permitted her to walk down the corridor to a cooler, and she kept on going—down the steps, through the engine room and out to freedom again. In the meantime the court and two headquarters detectives waited in vain for the prisoner. A city-wide search failed to bring any information as to her whereabouts. Gives Herself Up. Just before supper time a tearful woman opened the door of the firat precinct station and faced an amazed precinct detective—I1. K. Wilson, “I'm Anna Belle Cook,” the figure sobbed. So Anna Belle Cook is back in the houme of detention, walting to be tried not only on the theft charges, but also accused of committing a misdemeanor. NEW DOCK SCHEME FOR D. C. IS URGED Engineer Department Pre- pares Plans for Sea Wall and Landing Places. A new scheme for the development of the Washington channel water- front that would provide for commer- cial dock facilities and at the same time will be in keeping with the at- tractive appearance of Potomac Park has been prepared by the District engi- neer department. A rough sketch of this plan calls for a new sea wall built further out in the stream than the present one. The added space thus made available would be filled in and used as a flat landing place, somewhat lower than the level of Water street. The driveway for vehicular traflic along the water front would parallel the quay, or flat landing space. The roadway would be at an elevation that would provide for subways from the wharves, under the street, to commercial structures along the river front. The plan is merely a prospective one, to be considered whenever funds can be obtained for improvement of the waterfront. With an urgent need still existing for school build- ings, street paving and sewer exten- sions, it is not likely that money will be found within the next fow years for the waterfront. Nevertheless, the preparation of this new scheme. indicates that District officlals still have the waterfront in mind as one of the future projects for the beautification and improve- ment of the National Capital.

FRENCH LOSING GROUND Extension of Activities to Baden Indication of Abandonment of Treaty. BY A. G. GARDINER, Foremost Liberal By Cable to The Star. LONDON, February 10.—Parliament reassembles Tuesday. The country awaits with great anxiety the break- ing of silence by the government on the tremendous situation confronting It. During the recess Premler Bonar law could remain silent. Now he must speak. What will he say? of “benevolent neutrality” no longer Is defensible. Neutrality, which is benvolent to one side, naturally must be malevolent to the other. Neutral- ity here is simply an evasion of the istue which remains while events sweep the nation onward. Day by day France sink: into the "Ruhr mire Her Y:Ilgle':h:(: secure the good will of the German “orkmnn_ h defeuted her original p:-lh"\, Not more reparations but less. Not more coal but none. The strangle ;‘«:’d‘r‘ld(‘(n lslermln industry has been 0 be a strangle h manufacturers & S o eh The result is that all pretense of civil occupation has disappeared. Ruthlessness is growing hourly, and undisguised military occupation is im- minent. Shootings, suppression of newspapers, deportations of leading officiuls, severiti of all kinds now are daily occurrences, Regard for Treaty Gone. Extension of French activities to Baden, a hundred miles distant from the Ruhr, indicates that all regard for the treaty and restraints of all kinds have been abandoned. The origina) purpose of Polncare was to use the Ruhr invasion to separate the Rhine provinces from Germany and estab- lish them as a confederation under | French control. He expected to do | this by capturing the machinery of | industry and using economic pressure. This expectation was defeated by the attitude of the workers. The Ruhr miners hated the Prussianism of Ber- lin, and, having got rid of that, were not wiliing to welcome PPurssianism from Paris. Having falled to carry through the mutilation of Germany by peaceful means, Poincare now is faced with tne alternative of withdrawing and con. feseing defeat or of adopting naked force to achieve his end. It seems ciear Lis present Intention 1s to go on re- ardless of consequences. The alterna- tive would mean political extinction, and Poincare has no such desire. Can Bonar Law continue benevolently neutral in the face of these develop- ments? Can England leave her troops in Cologne while France tramples on the policy which their presence there represents? Can England suffer longer the humiliation of being represented on the reparations commission which has become a mere department of the Qua | @Orsay? Impossible. But how shall we withdraw and what action will fol- low? The answer is not easy. The bedrock fact in the situation is discreetly left undiscussed. But it is in all mind France has established unchallenged the military dominance of Furope. So far as force is concerned ahe ix able to_do as she pleases. She knows this. We know it. Hence our sense of impo- tence. The formula Moral Consideration. But France cannot rely exclusively on the authority of force. There are moral considerations. Still more im. portant, there are economic considera- tions. Signe are not wanting that the financial arrangements made between the United States and England are cre- ating an effect in French minds. France owes money to England as well as to America, and realizes ghe cannot per- | manently ignore that fact and retain her place among nations which respect | their liabilities. | The English position is clear. She | cannot pay her debt to America and cancel that which France owes her. This consideration may assume a new aspect In view of the French opera- tions in Germany. There she not only is destroying British trade, but any prospect of Britain ever collectin reparations. England, therefore, ha a many-sided interest in the Ruhr drama. France is slaying her own goose as well as ours and killing it with money which belongs to England and Amer- ica. This grotesque situation cannot continue indefinitely. England sees one of her debtors reduced to bank- ruptey by another of her debtors who pleads she it too poor to pay, but is able o maintain the greatest army any nation ever kept in Lurope in peaco times. The nation expects the premier to approach the_ situation from this angle. Since France ignores our ad- vice and our interests she must pay her way as we pay ours. This aspect of the matter has taken a strong hold in the minds of the public. Parlia- ment will look to Bonar Law to face it courageously. (Copyright, 1923.)

Are the people, despite their recent sufferings, 8o childish as to permit themselves to be driven mad, thus creating an at- mosphers of ' intemmational hatred which threatens to reduce Europe again to a state of barbarism be- cause of the interests of the Comite des Forges, or the French coal own- ers, or the German militarists, iron, coal and steecl magnates? Where Danger Lies. The greatest Ganger threatening us today lies In part eight of the treaty annex which provides for reprisals for defaulted payments. France buses her seizures and action on this section and Belgium and Italy sup- port her. Germany insists the aetion must be unanimous by all nations represented on the reparations com- mission. The fact that the British representative has not sanctioned the action is accepted here 4s showing England accepts the German view. Isn't it time to get a direct ruling on this? The American observer, without dropping his unofficial char- acter, could demand it. If England opposed France then her action would be illegal. If she indorsed the occu- pation then Germany must yield to the inevitable. But =0 long as the war devil remains unchanged the world never can come to a peace.

CANADA AFFECTED BY WORLD UNREST Parliament Faces Difficult Task in Combating Post- War Conditions. BY JOHN GARDINER, Bpecial Dispatch to The Ktar. M 'REAL, February 10.—The Canadian parliament has met under political and economic circumstances that will make its present delibera- tions momentous. Canada is not escaping the back- wash of turbulence in Europe. Although she is free from the dis- quiet that threatens the old world with chaos, there has been no time since the great war when her prob- lems were more grave or more press- ing. In the great west doubted distress. The upheavals in Europe, with their disruption of markets, credits and ex- changes, largely nullified effects of a £00d harvest. In consequence of this nd some other things udversity has come upan the farmer. He Is gravel discontented and under a smarting sense of grievance toward the exist- ing order. Discontent Is Evident. With wages continuing on_a high level, with taxes increased, with transportation charges a burden, with the cost of everything he buys much above the level of pre-war days, the there un- Carnegle's i agriculturist faces the fact that the dollar price of his produce is little higher than before the war while the dollar he receives in return has a greatly reduced purchasing power, as compared to former times. 1t is menacing to the Dominion that so large and 5o important a portion of the population is discontented. There cim be no solid advancement | trade and industry, officials admit, be. cause agricultural prosperity ~and business growth, and agricultural de- pression and business stagnation run on parallel lines and are largely in- terdependent. It means further a sit- uation which lends itseif to the in- citement and wiles of the demagogue and (o the plausible figments of the economic visionary. Already the voic- e3 of fomenters of class and sectional animosity pervade the land and are finding many listener: Hence the just grievances of the west, and of the farmer, demand in- telligent consideration by parliament. There also is the vital problem of immigration. By common consent, a select immigration is one of Canada’s vital needs. The census figures prove that between 1911 and 1921 as many pecple left Canada as entered it. ther figures reveal that today emi- gration surpasses immigration. Yet the government. apart from a futile conference with the provinces—a conference that, because of its very nature. was doomed to fail—has done absolutely nothing. Call for Economy. There is an imperative call every- ere for economy by the lawmakers. Canada’s financial position today Is very serious. How serious may be grasped from the fact that since the close of the war—since the armistice —the national debt has been in- creased by a billion dollars, and on November 30. 1922, was $2,391,635.815, The country is not much interested in political tactics or stratagems The old war cries, the old shibboleths and formulae, almost always divorced from reality, have entirely lost their appeal and potenoy in contaot with existing difficulties.

It is almost incredible that a thing which bulked so big and near and menacing could have o utterly eclipsed itself in 5o short a space of tme.

There was nearly a panic for a few days. Troops marched througn the streets of the cities, staging pa rades to restore confidence. Germany, evervbody eaid, was [tinder-box!

Then something happened—nobody has ever been quite sure what. And two ears later the country was in the ands of the superpatriotic fascisti Long List of Fallures. Something has happened in every country in Europe to make it seem unhealthy for revolution. Is it th: conditions generally have become more stable, and the causes of unrest diminished? If so, it is not apparent The opposite rather would seem to be the case So far as most of the continent is concerned Is it that the Moscow has shown nclusively the fallure communism?

And there was a near-communist regime in Munich just three years ago; today Munich ‘is the center of pan-German plotting. What hap- pened? All these movements are detached, and yet possibly there are certain features common to them all. Pos- sibly the same explanation will hold good, in part, for all of them.
