2. * FRENCH WORKERS FIND AMPLE J0BS Unemployed of Neighbor Countries Look Enviously Toward Paris. BY GEORGE HAMBLETON, Slafl Correspondent of the Cemadisn Press. PARIS, February 9—France is today the economic enigma of Europe. While thousands of workless men walk the streets of the mining villages of Eng- land, while unemployment is growing in Germany, France is virtually without any unemployment at all. In the employment offices in Paris one finds each morning & line of appli- cants for work. But officials in charge Masten to explain that the men are merely passing from one job to another and that there is no unemployment in the of men being out of work for man, eager for precise information, narrowly escaped being placed in the line himself and given a job. Reasons Advanced. Among government officials the ex- planation was given that France will produce more cheaply than England, that Prench workmen are less control- 1éd by trade unions, and that transfers are more readily made from one class; of employment to another. Moreover, France has within her borders large bodies of foreign workers, who, it i8 claimed, form a sort of safety Mary and Ruth Turnbull, 13 years old and 8 years old, respectively, who decided to run away last Monday eve- ning, thereby giving rise to a kidnap- ing scare in Prince Georges County, will be taken to Hilltop, Md., todsy by their mother.

Wierstra, director of the museum, after exam! them, declared the discovery to be the most important yet made in South Africa regarding primitive man, seeing that the human remains undoubtedly antedate the famous Boskop skull. Dr. Robert Brown, an expert on the p man, is of the opinion that the South African man bore a strong likeness to the heavier types of the Cro-Magnon race, but finds nothing Neanderthaloid in the %rontal part of the skull to identify him with primitive Rhodesian man. Most of the man’s skull, a majority of the longer bones and parts of the hands have been recovered. The buffalo's remains also indicate that he died a swift and violent death, probably due to injuries inflicted on him by the man. ‘The Johannesburg Museum director be- lleves that the hunter and the hunted died almost simultaneously. The man is officially described as “a powerful, large sized man not closely related to any of the negroid races.” ‘The size of the buffalo, as estimated by measuring between the tips of the horns, must have exceeded that of the largest known American species. All three defendants, who will be sen- tenced Monday, announced they would appeal if a new trial is not granted. ‘The penalty for conspiracy to bribe is 1 to 14 years.

BSpecial Cable Dispatch to The Star and Chi- cago Daily News. PARIS, February 9.—What, if suc- cessful, will doubtless be considered one of the greatest negotiations of modern times opened here today when experts of debtor Germany met experts of the United States and the other creditor allies in the salons of the Banque de France. They met to begin, in Premier Poincare’s words, “the final liquidation of the World War.” This new “Dawes Commission” is to fix ithe total of German reparations debt, plan the sale of German bonds to investors throughout the world, par- ticularly in the United States, and find some scheme which, without reducing war debts to the United States, wiil adjust for the convenience of all con- cerned the payments of war debts. Between what Germany %ublicly of - fers and the allies, through their spokes- man, Prance, publicly ask, there is a considerable divergence. The discus- sions, with their ups and downs and crises, may last two months. But fol- lowing the long preliminary conversa- tions nobody doubts that serious grounds for optimism as to the out- come exist. The benefits from the agreement would be so great to all con- cerned that it is inconceivable that such an agreement will not be reached. Evacuation Would Follow. Among other things it is understood that success would be followed in the near tuture by the allied evacuation of the Rhineland. It would also result in France's ratification of the American debt agreement. ‘The last grave obstacle to Franco- German rapprochement would be thus removed, and for the first time the daape of something like a united Eu- rope would emerge. ‘The crux of the problem is still Ger- many’s ty to pay and here is where the altercation begins, Ger- many's stupendous economic recovery was vividly described in the last report of the agent general for reparations, Parker Gilbert, and it leaves no doubt of the ability of the Germans to pay on the present scale. That is, so long as the present prosperous conditions last. But these circumstances include the willingness of Germany to continue - | ing liberally, it is possibl aiienacng property by borrowing and the willingness of the lender to trust Germany. Both of these circumstances are strictly limited. Moreover, the Dawes plan specifically stated that the Ger- man living standard should not be forced below that of other countries. Today, while Germany is apparently prosperous, the current interest rate is about 8 per cent, showing the painful capital shortage. Such a shortage has been caused by the urge to business development, which is strong in the German people. . Germany's Argument. Germans claim that under the Dawes plan their right to “normal” business expansion comes before the payment of reparations. 71hey want part of the cream themselves. The creditors answer that the Ger- mans have the right to enjoy comforts —to drink milk—but all th tificy the amount which could be annually extracted from Germany without killing or partially strangling the goose that lays the goiden eggs. Under the leadership of an Amer~ ican, Seymour Parker Gilbert, and a group of trustees, a number of foreigners took as pledges certain German taxes, the Reichsbank, the German rallways and the more important German indus- tries. They undertook to save Ger- many from excessive demands. This plan operated for approximately four years and a_ half with the utmost smoothness. During this period Ger- many paid about 6,750,000,000 marks, which, added to the reparations previ- ously credited, makes a total of about $4,000,000,000. Imperfect in Two Ways. But the Dawes plan is imperfect in two ways. The annual payment was fixed, but no time limit was set, and only incomplete arrangements were made for ;fihgt commercializing of the German Mr. Gilbert, therefore, encouraged the wvernments to call a second meeting fix the total, without which no sin- cere German co-operation could be hoped for or expected. Intimidated by the harsh discussion which has fol- lowed each learned pronouncement on reparations matters, the new body of international exg:ru have already an- nounced that the proceedings will be held In complete secrecy. This statement falls to frighten in- numerable newspaper men, who count on the old adage, “somebody always tells.” But should they be deceived, tgg mere logical of events will lead to cer- tain inescapable conclusions. The merc} debt German debt will and, over a period of used largely for repa; pean debts to the Un! States. Fair Estimate Suggested. On the supposition that such debts will not be reduced, a fair estimate of the amount necessary to do this is $5,- 000,000,000, Therefore the German com- mercialized annuity must contats in- terest on the sinking fund for this sum or, at usual average rates, $350,000,000. Whereas Great Britain and Italy are satisfled. to have their debts abroad canceled out, Belglum and some little countries want a supplement. Reckon- le to assume that these claims would be satisfled with about $125,000,000 annually. This would make Germany liable for the sum of approximately 2,000,000,000 marks an- nually, as against 2,500,000,000 “normal” under the Dawes plan. But a similar result can be reached by another method.

The United States holds the key ition, for no settlement seems possi- le unless the United States opens the American money markets to the sale of bonds and arranges for discount of the war debts by early cash payments. The United States wants to see the Rhineland evacuated and real peace restored in Europe, where American investments and trade are enormous. The American ex)wrta will, seemingly, favor an annuity of 2,000,000,000 marks over a perjod of years corresponding closely to the allles’ intentions regard- ing war debts to the United States. Great Britaln seems to occupy the middle position between the United States and France. Belgium seems to share the French viewpoint. Necessary to Solution.
