MACDONALD CABINET |Russia Likely to Repudiate + GAINS CONFIDENCE Premier In Strong Effort to Keep Europe From Ruin. EARLY PANIC DISAPPEARS British of All Classes Disposed to Give Labor Fair Deal. BY A. G. GARDINER, By Radio to The Star. X LONDON, Fubruary 9.—The labor Eovernment will meet parliament on Tuesday next, when Prime Minister Macdonald makes a statement on his volicy. It is his Intention to take the public into the fullest possible confidence on diplomatic issues, and the official an- nouncement of government aims, pub- lished Friday, is remarkable for its candor, directness and good temper. Mr. Macdonald has been criticized for his soft words toward Premier Toincare In view of the intoleradle doings in regard to the Cologne area and in the palatinate. But there is Do harm in a man treading softly if he carries & big stick. Mr. Mac- @onald certainly has no intention of continuing to allow Europe to drift 10 ruin without an attempt by the British government to reverse the engines, His declaration that he is prepared to enter a conference, whether it is called by the league of nations or by a single power, is an indication not merely of passive in- tent but of active intention, He is most anxious to avold doing anything having the appearance of a desire to influence the_course of the French elections. Such conduct e the effect of strengthen- re, which nobody wishes. the Rothermere press has begun to learn wisdom and has ceased chanting “hats off to France.” Raps Lloyd Georse Errors. The delicate situation is not help- e by the grotesquo comedy of errors, the Lioyd George interview. Much ‘public resentment is_expected at such a proceeding at such a time. The sentiment of the public has been deeply moved by the death of Mr. Wilson. who, in liberal opinion, was regarded as one statesman who sin- cerely desired to make a peace which woulll give the world a secure foun- dation That this a “secret launched funeral ~is universally deplored. Lioyd George has disowned the i terview and Harold Spender. who must not be confounded with his brother Alfred, accepts all the blame. Harold has been the closest journalistic ally of Lloyd George for twenty-five years and_sincerely be- lleved he was doing him a_service. Certainly he is the last man to delib- crately ‘invent a varn, but he had ent a week end with' Lioyd George d the experience had been a little overcoming to o devoted a disciple. Relations Threatened. The incident has passed without Prejudice to Wilson's memory, but it threatened to imperil the new rela- tions which Macdonald is anxlous to establish with France. However, the affair is dismissed as mere gaucherie, involving no one but Lloyd George and h indiscreet Boswell. “The lrish situation is beginning to attract attention in view of the ne- gotiations over the boundary between Ulster and Free State. Ulster shows no_ disposition to yield and the prob- lem threatens to be a grave bone of ontention between the two Irelands. 1t is _admitted that the condition of the Free state Is improved and that considerable disbandment of the mil itary accomplished. But the repub- 1 movement has not been sup- pressed and lamentable compact™ talk about should be its leaders even claim th ¢ill win the next election. Their policy of boycotting the dail is the serious weakness of the new parliament. It is improbable that While this internal menace to the Free States continues that Ulster will be reconciled to a policy of common wetion with the rest of Ireland for common interests which are neces- sary for the welfare of the country &s a whole. Clotkes Offer Problem. Among the questions raised by the advent of the first labor government is that of clothes. The labor govern- ment hitherto had no associations in court life and assumed rather an air of detachment from all officlal func- tions and finery. Advent to office has brought them definitely into the governing circle and the problem of clothes for offic and state ocea- become a practic king has very visibly demands in ard to ch now is simply dress with knee breeches. Public interest in the new govern- ment is very keen and all the panic feeling with which it was anticipat- #d has vanished. Mr. Macdonald so far has created the impression of being a responsible and competent minister. and popular feeling is definitely sympathetic and anxious that he should have fair play, ‘Two dangers are ahead. Can he kold his communist left wing? Can Mr. Asquith keep the liberal party solid in support of the labor adminis- tration? o Events when parliament meets “Tuesday will quickly show what fate awaits Macdonald. (Copyright, 1924.) RESTORE FREE RAIL ~ TRAFFIC AT COLOGNE French, British and Belgians Per- mit Train Movements as Be- fore Ruhr Occupation. modified official evening By the Associated Press. PARIS, February 9.—An agreement between the French railway administra- tion and the British authorities in the Cologne zone, by which the normal cir- culation of railroad traffic in the Co- logne area, which has been interrupted ce the Ruhr occupation, will be re- sumed, was reached this afternoon at Coblenz, according to official informa- tion. The accord arrived at by the Brit- ish, Belgian and French Rhineland high commissioners, is on the basis of the agreement between the French authori- ties and the reich railways, which was signed at Mayence on December 14. The Cologne railways remain under German_ direction, but the Franco-Bel- gian railway administration enjoys the right to send all its trains through the British zone, thus restoring the condi- tions_existing before the occupation of the Ruhr. The British authorities, it is stated here, have given guarantees for the security and safety of traffic In tase of strikes. Technical commissions of British, French and German experts will meet’ Monday at Mayence to work out the details of the plan. The greatest satisfaction is expressed jn French official circles at the settle- ment of this question and it is em- phasized that the agreement was the result of & spirit of friendly conciliation on_both sides. ‘With the thorny question of the Cologne right-of-way settled and the Palatinate problem well on the road to solution, French official circles feel that Franco-British relations are assuming &n excellent posture that will assist in disposing of the paramount issues upon which a general European settiement depends., o {of Russian di; |burst into an explosion of irritation Hif, on the day of the Wilson j jarmaments Rhineland. 1 difficulty., | THE SUNDAY ST Pact Signed With Italians| T0 BATTLE SANCHEZ as Spur. to By HIRAM K. MODERWELL. By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1924. ROME, February 9.—The terms of the TItalo-Russian treaty, signed abruptly Thursday night in defer- ence to Italian anxiety, will not be made public until ratified by Russia. The following concessions, how- ever, the writer learns, are assured to Italy: 1. Oil zone on the Grosny basin in the Caucasus, in addition to a zow comprising 20,000 hectares (nearly 50,000 acres) attributed to an Italian firm in the territory of Selras in Georgia. - 2. Coal zones in the Donetz basin near Taganrog. 3. Zone in the Ukraine for grain growing. Preferential tariff treatments are guaranteed on all machinery and ma- terials destined to exploit these con- cessions. Monopoly of Trade. The extent and duration of the concessions have not yet been deter- mined. A monopoly of the coast trade is assured Italian ships in the Black sea between the ports of Odessa, Sebastopol, Taganrog, Batum, Poti and Novorossisk. It is now taken for granted in Rome that Russia intends to demand re- vision of the draft of the treaty. eliminating _certain clauses which Rus:lans consider unfavorable. The suppressed irritation in Roman po- litical circles over what is charac- terized as “the Byzantine" trickiness jomacy is likely to as expected, Premier Rykoff re- fuses to sign the treaty as drafted by the Russian plenipotentiary in Rome, M. Jordansky. It is considered cortain here that PACT SPLIT BLAMED UPON LLOYD GEORGE British Premier Held Responsible for Present Allied Discord. BY ANDRE TARDIEU. By Radio to The Star. PARIS, February 9.—Woodrow Wil- son’s death takes France back five years to the time when the victors still realized that victory had not re- moved all reason for solidarity. And Mr. Lloyd George's interview, already half disavowed, concerning the alleged separate agreements be- tween Mr. Wilson and M. Clemenceau during the peace conference comes opportunely to prove that agents of division and selfishness were ready hard at work even during that con- ference. As M. Clemenceau's collaborator and confidant, the writer can solemn y declare that the supreme need for {solidarity among the victors was never absent from h thoughts. M. Clemenceau did not believe—and 13 this he differed with Mr. Wilson— that the league of nations pact, write ten into the treaty, would establish permanent peace among men. He had faith in the ultimate development of this institution and was willing to carry it further than Wilson by placing a military force at its dis- posal. But he considered that a period of adaptation was necessary and in- sisted that during this period France must have guarantees of security of another kind, whence the long debat of 1919 on the control of and occupation of Lack of Understanding. By reopening _this debate with rather questionable taste on the mor- row of Wilson's death, Mr. Lloyd George merely resumed his 1919 po- insularity, which the negotiators, anx- ious to avoid an open break, did not reveal to the public, but which they all saw clearly. Mr. Lloyd George never understood nor wanted to un: derstand the French viewpoint, name ly, that In case of another conflagra- tion France desired not only to be protected from defeat but also from invasion which she had experienced three times within a centur, Che more Mr. Wilson sympathi with this just principle of Fren, policy, the more Mr. Lloyd George ty_to it. When on March 14, Lioyd George's initiative he and Mr. Wilson proposed that France re- nounce all occupation of the Rhine- land in exchange for treaties of guarantee, M. Clemenceau and the writer replied that such pacts could not take the place of material guaran- tees and furthermore France must consider the ~possibilities on non- ratification of such pacts. Approved by Lloyd George: This question was discussed for six weeks and only on April 20 did Mr. ‘Wilson accept the French viewpoint and approve articles 428-429. Two days later though, with bad grace, Mr. Lloyd George also approved these clauses. The text of these clauses had becn in the hands of Wilson and Lioyd-George for two weeks, Marever all details of these negotiations' were published in 1921 in the writer’s book, “The Truth About the Treat In attempting to make this per- fectly regular procedure appear as a secret Wilson-Clemenceau agreement Mr. Lloyd George has placed himself in a false situation, from which he has been obliged to escape by em- barrassed cxpianations which look like @ retraction. Since he reopened this debate by wrongly complaining of his colleagues’ methods, it is the writer's duty to recall that the only blameworthy step in (he whole af- fair was Mr. Lloyd George's, when two weeks after the treaty had been submitted to Brockdorff and Frantzau for signature, Mr. Lloyd George agaln called in question all he had signed in the previous month concerning oc- cupation of the Rhine, reparations, Polish frontiers and everything else. Tried to Revise Treaty. At that time, between May 25 and June 16, 1919, Mr. Lloyd George, de- spite the fact that he had signed the final draft with other plenipoten- tiaries, tried to have it fundamen- tally revised.' M. Clemenceau was obliged to threaten to resign and in- form the French parliament of Mr. Lloyd George's failure to keep his B uring this period Mr. Wilson, chafling " under the pressure Lloyd George was attempting to bring upon him, had to break off the discussion one day by saying to his British colleague: apumake me siclc these facts belong to histo and should be known by all whe. . lieve today that the world would be happier if the victors had maintained in peace one-fourth of the solidarity they maintained in war. The writer does not like retrospec- tive polemics, but since others start them, he must say, as a witness to | the whole proceedings, that two men, even when they disagreéd most heart- ily, never lost sight of this need for solidarity—they = were | Wilson -and Clemenceau. % Lloyd George, who rén- dered such magnificent services dur- ing the war, became the agent of djs- cord and selfishness. The writer re- grets to say this, but the truth com- pels it. (Copyright, 1924.) s Selfishness is the great destroyer of German | the | sition.

Russia has been driving the sharpest pousible bargain, playing off Italy and Great Britain against | each other. The Russians long ago let it be known that the first nation to recognize the soviets would receive the choicest economic concessions. Taken by Surprise. The writer is informed that Pre- mier Museolini had this clearly in mind when negotiating the Russian treaty, but was convinced ~British recognition would be delayed several weeks, hence he Insisted on cettain clauses highly favorable to Italy. According to information received by the writer, he depended on the re- port of the Italian ambassador in London, Marquis Della Torretta, who assured him English recognition was not imminent. After the news had arrived that Prime Minister Macdonald had recog- nized the soviet government political circles here became nervous. The Italian foreign office sent couriers to Jordansky's hotel early Sunday morn- ing, the day on which the treaty should have been signed. Jordansky blandly kept them waiting, and then informed them he had received con- trary instructions from Moscow. It is reported here the Russians feel Mussolinl had them by the throat, but they accepted his harsh terms in order to stimulate English recogni- tion. Then, having succeeded in London, they were prepared to wrig- gle out of the Rome agreement. The clause which especially an- noyed the Russians was that giving the lowest tariffs not only to goods of Italian manufacture, but to goods made in foreign countries and re- exported by Italian merchants to Russia. Italian politicians are buzzing with speculations and _suspicions. Some figure that Italian shipping on the Black sea will be elbowed out by the British if Rykoff demands a revision of the treaty terms. A diplomatic storm is expected to burst here if Rykoff makes demand for revisions. PLAN FOR GOLD BANK MATURED IN BERLIN First Committee of Experts Noti- fies Reichsbank Head of Sta- bilized Currency Scheme. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, February 9. — Definite plans for the establishment of a new German bank of issue on a gold basie have been formulated and submitted to Dr. Schacht, head of the reichs- {bank, by the first committee of ex- Iperts which is studying the German lcurrency situation. The projected |bank will exchange its own notes |against those of the rentenbank and | the reichsbank. | The committee will inform the rep- aration commission that in its opin- {ion the plan its proposes should be | put into prompt operation. The mem- bers of the committes will have a urther conference with Dr. Schacht iin_Paris on the 18th instant. * No_public announcement regarding the fundamental principles on which the projected bank will be established will be made until the entire project has been canvassed with the repa- |ration commission and given final consideration by the German officials. Dr. Schacht, however, already has {informed the' experts that, in his {opinion, the proposed bank, when put {into operation, will contribute mate- |rially toward the definite stabiliza- tion of the currency and balancing he budget. He also informed the ommittee that the transitory {bank he has under advisement will {be so arranged as to facilitate it absorption by the bank of issue pro- posed by the experts. Dr. Schacht's plans contemplate the early establishment of a gold bank whose primary function is to consist in facilitating the extension of cred- its to German industry, agriculture, trade and commerce, by which he hopes to effect an automatic stabiliza- tion of German economic and finan- ial conditions.

REBEL PLANS THWARTED Papers Seized at Cordoba and ‘Wireless Intercepted. By the Assoclated Press, CORDOBA, Mexico, February 9.— The federal occupation of Vera Cruz will not be carried out before Mon- day, but Gen. Fausto Topete is leav- ing Sunday with a strong column for Tierra Blanca to attack Guadalupe Sanchez who has concentrated there the forces still remaining faithful to the rebel movement. Gen. Serrano has established tem- porary headquarters in this city on board a military train. Gen. Serrano said that upon the precipitate evacuation of Cordoba by the rebels the government forces had captured their entire records. These show that Candido Aguilar had been appointed commander-in-chlef of the Esperanza sector before the rebel de- feat, but had resigned February 1. Aguilar was then appointed com- mander of the third military district which comprises virtually all of the sthmian states. Rebel Orders Intercepted. According to Gen. Serrano, de la Huerta sent wireless orders which were intercepted, instructing all rebel leaders to communicate with him un- til February 10 at Frontera. This was later countermanded by instruc- tions that he could be communi- cated with at Campeche, as he was making a tour of all the states domi- nated by the robel forces. According to rebel prisoners taken t Cordoba, de la Huerta fled from speranza on the first train after his defeat, burning a part of the important Metlac bridge without considering his remaining _followers, which resulted in the capture of four- teen rebel military trains. According to Gen. Serrano, the de- lay in occupying Vera Cruz is due to the necessity to repairing the railways between there and Soledad, where the federal vanguard has halted and also to permit reorgniza- tion of the federal columns, rest the men and take proper precautions to deal with Sanchez and the scattered | rebel bands still in Serrano's rear. YUCATAN HUERTA’'S GOAL. l Rebel Leader Visits Gulf Cities on Leaving Vera Cruz. Adolfo de 1a Huerta, after the evac- uation of Vera Cruz, visited a num- ber of points on the gulf coast to consult _with his local leaders, Al- varez Castillo, his agent here, nounced yesterday upon the basi wireless advices. He previously had notified his representatives, it stated, that he would be at Frontera, February 10, when he would proceed on the gunboat Zaragosa to the ad- joining state of Campeche and thence to Yucatan. De la Huerta, it was asserted, wished to acquaint those in the southeastern states of the purposes of the revolutionary movement and he | reiterated that the evacuation of Vera Cruz was not in the least ref- dered necessary by military compul- sion, but was voluntary, in order to liberate for active service in the field the several thousand troops defend- ing the railways approaching the port, which was almost valueless as a base of operations. These forces, he ex- plained, would now be used for con- solidating revolutionary control of the oil district. In offensive opera- tions against Tampico, and for se ering communication between Tam- pico and the main line, thus cutting off the enemy’s supply of oil for fuel purposes on the railways.

Diamond. INDIFFERENCE DISPLAYED Real Emotion Displayed When Clerk Quizzes Him. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 9.—Morris B. Diamond tonight was found guilty of murder in the first degree in con. nection with the killing of William H. McLaughlin and William S. Barlow, bank messengers, in a Brooklyn ele- vated station last November. The trial started yesterday. The jury had deliberated fifty-nine minutes. Diamond received the verdict with the typical gangster indifference, but his real emotion was betrayed when the clerk of the court asked the ques- tions customary after a defendant's fate has been made known. Despite his_obvious effort to appear uncon- cerned, Diamond answered haltingly. When Justice Cropsey began his charge to the jury Diamond slumped in his seat, folded his arms and set his face in an expressionless stare. No shadow crossed his face when the ourt, concluding, said to the jur: ‘Gentlemen, you do not send the de- tendant to his death if you find him guilty, He sends himself to his death, Justice Cropsey instructed the jul that it was not necessary for a m: to do the actual shooting to be guil of murder and a robbery in which a human life was taken. e CITES BANDIT OUTRAGES.
