BRITISH-FRENCH BREAK NEARER, SAYS REYNOLDS Chicago Banker Finds Lack of Stability and Confidence Hampering Europe. By the Assoctated Press. W YORK, July 24.—Lack of po- ltical stability and confidence that nations should have in each other are bringing the situation between France and England nearer a crisis than ever before, George M. Reynolds, chairman of the Continental and Com- mercial Bank of Chicago, declared on his arrival from Europe. He was a delegate to the International Cham- ber of Commerce meeting at Rome “Political stability and confidence is essential to any business, and until France and Italy obtain it they can- not hope to settle successtully with Germany,” he said. “The economic situation of the in- dividual is better than a year ago.” he continued, “but government con- ditions have not improved. Govern- ment_expenses are exceeding receipts, and governments are simply looking and loping for something to come to ss that w se expenditures and receipts to dovetall and budgets to “England is getting her hause In order better than any other country. She is meeting her obligations and handling her affairs in a business- like way. but there is a growing sen- timent in France to evade the debt issue.

Regarding cessation of German re- sistance and the appointment of an terallied commission to examine | Germany’s capacity to pay, the vie points of the French and Belgian na- tions “are not identical. Belglum would be disposed to accept a truce involving concessions for both sides instead of an absolute gurrender, d manded by Poincare, it is said, al- though all parties, and all elements of public opinion consider the cessa- tion of attempts on the lives of French and Belglan soldiers to be an indis- pensable preliminary. On the second point Belgium would be disposed to accept any committee evaluation emanating from the repa- rations commission. McDANIEL TO SPEAK. Allen B.

Senator Brookhart's threat to Presi- dent HardIng that the progressives in the Benate would wrest control of the Benate committees from the “oid Buard” if a speclal session of- Con- gress .to deal with farm problenis was not called, has at-last awakenel the republican leaders here to tho really grave situation which will exist In the new Henate. It is a situation which threatens all of the economic policles of the dominant party, including the tarifT itself. The death of Senator Dilinghan of Vermont, leaves exactly one halt of the republican membership of thx ll-powerful flnence committee of tk Senate vacant. Only five of the o republican members will remain when Congress meets In December and o1 of these republicans is LaFollett, Wisconsin. The progressives anl | radicals in the new Senate will mak a desperate fight to control this com: mittee. It will be more bitter than the fight led by Senator Borah four| years ago against Penrose as financ, chairman. Smoot in Line. Senator Smoot of Utah, classed the progressives as a “reactlonary,’ is slated to be chairman of the finance committee, and, despite the final com- plexion of the body, he is expected t> prevall, for the democrats are stick- Ters for the recognition of senfority of service .in selecting committen chairmen and with their help Senator Smoot can win. If he should fail, however, La Follette would be th:: chafrman. Another exceedingly serious situa tlon for the republicans exists in the Senate committee on Interstate com- merce. Here there are four repub- lican vacancies out of a total of ten places, and, while Senator Cummins of Towa is expected to continue & chairman, the second place on th: committee belongs to La Follette of Wisconsin, | La Follette Ranks High. La Follette, therefore, has the rank | ing position on two of the most pow- erful of the Senate committees. It {: freely predicted that the new Congress | will attempt to “do things™ to the ral- roads. The interstate commerce com< mittee will frame the expected leglela- tlon. La Follette will be a decided fac- tor in all that is done. La Follette also will have much t say in selecting the new republicar members of the finance and interstate commerce _committees.

For the first time in years there Is also the possibility that the fight among the republicans for places on the important committces may be taken to the floor of the Senate und the party differences threshed out in public. The elder heads of the party are hoping, of course, that this may be avolded and will do everything In their power to huve the difference: patched up behind closed doots. To succeed in thls it is granted they must make wide concessions to the La Fol- lette - Brookhart - Mugnus Johnson group, for while Bhipstead and John- son of Minnesota are classed as farm- er-labor members, they are expected to follow the lead of La Follette wherever ho may go.

H Treated Progressive “Rough.” The last Senate conference selected Brandeges of Connecticut as chalir- man of the committee on committees. Even Mr. Brandegee's closest and best friends admit that the senator is “hard bofled.” In fact, he boasts of it himself. In selecting committee members two years ago, therefore, Mr. Brandegee treated the progr sives “rough.”” This was shown on the finance committee in particular, where the republican membership consisted of McCumber, Smoot, La Follette, Dillingham, McLean, Curtis, Watson of Indiana.
