MCORMICK RATES FUROPE POOR RISK U. S. Has Greatest Prospect in South America and Tax Cut, He Declares. Ina statement yesterday Senator Medill McCormick of Illinols, discussing the Hughes-Curzon plan of a reparations appraisal commission, declared that “while we herald the perilous enter- prise to which we have been invited by Lord Curzon, let us, in heaven's name, reallze that the greatest as- surance of a restored and enduring prosperity for the American citizen lles In the development ,0f pan- American markets and in checking | the appalling Increase in the taxes and indebtedness of the states and local taxing bodies.” The statement follows: “Since British and French as well as American public men have dared | to doubt the certain success of the proposed economic conference In Europe, let us ask those who willtully _misconstrue their doubts and abuse them, to face the truth. If the war ht the ruin of Europe, the treaties of Versailles and St. Ger- main shackle those who would have labored to rebuild the ruins. The an- cient hatreds of the peoples for one another and the rivalries between the Inating industrial groups of the ous countries have prevented | that measure of recovery which might have been possible under the | unwise and unrighteous treaties of peace. Poincare Policy Scored. “If Stinnes and his group have exploited the German people and thwarted the payment of reparations, | it may be said of certain members of the comite du forges (the French steel combine), that in their endeavor (0 overmaster the Stinnes group they have too often ‘dominated poli- | tics to the injury of the French With their collaboration, M. re has set up a dominion com- parable to that of Mu<solini, “Americans who know France and French and to whom French bankers and public men have talked freely will tell you with what misgivings they view Raymond Poincare's policy. “If anything Important is to be | accomplished there ought to be a revision of certain economic clauses the treaty of Versailles, and that seems impo:sible without an election n France.

SUES TO STOP SON'S INSURANCE T0 WIFE Princess Flaine Von der Llpvc»uuk mother of Lieut. Wendell K. Phillip: Army fiyer, who was killed June 5,: yesterday filed suit for injunction in the | District Supreme Court against the United States and her daughter-in- law, Dorothy Ralns Phillips, wldow| of the officer. The mother seeks to prevent the Veterans' Bureau from paylng to the son's widow the pro- ceeds of a war risk Insurance policy of $10,000. The plaintiff tells the court she has a vested iInterest in the policy by reason of the fact that she pald the premiums on the insurance and was named as beneficlary. When the in- surance was taken out her son was a minor and she had been his duly appointed, guardian. While still a minor, she states, the son married and, without her knowledge and con- sent, sent to the Veterans' Bureau a paper directing the change ,of the beneficlary to the son's wife. The mother questions the valldity of the attempted assignment and tells the court that, unless enjoined, she fears the government will pay the money to the daughter-in-law. Attorneys W.
