panied by briefs, and will be approved
or disapproved by the sub-committee
previous to. the meeting of the full
commission to be held on Saturday
under the chairmanship of President
Wilson.
Several delegates made the poln
that the proposed executive council
nine was too small and that it should
be increased to 18, -being composed of
two members of the "big five" and
two members from four small powers.
Japan purposes discussing racial dis
crimination on Saturday, but it is prob
able that Lord Robert Cecil's idea will
prevail and such matters left to each
nation to handle as an Internal
problem.
Colonel House was jubilant after th
meeting, and said that the fine spirit
developed was a happy augury for th
league's future and a certain indica
tion of the attitude of all nattons
toward the project. The British are
hopeful that the league will not be
complete until they have been per
mitted a shot at it on the score of
home rule.
Editorial la Deleted.
However, it Is likely that Premier
Lloyd George will regard the problem
aa an internal one and have it handled
by the British, although in its solution
members of the dominions may be al
lowed a voice. Many here believe that
President Wilson and the British pre
mier have had a personal discussion
Importance on the subject, and they
are hopeful that some result will soon
be apparent.
An example of French censorship
was afforded this morning when an
editorial from the New York Sun on
the republican attitude toward the
league was deleted heavily In the col
umns of the Echo de Paris. Even
those Americans of opposite political
faith felt It was an example of un
fairness, believing that no circum
stance Justified the suppression of
views.
Appointment Is Criticised.
Confirmation was made today of

patch to the World regarding the "offi
dally unofficial' commission sent to
Russia by Americans, consisting of
William Bullitt and Lincoln Steffens,
who are to be Joined later by Walter
veyi, reports already being received
from the Investigators. The appoint
ment has met with criticism from those
who fear the radical views of the mem
bers. Those taking this view say the
selection is as unfortunate as was that
of George Herron on the Prlnkipo com
mission, which never functioned. Those
defending the inquiries say that what
ever else may be true, their reports
win De nonest and free from any class
prejudice.

NEW YORK, March IS Thousands
of Jews were slaughtered In a "po
grom" conducted in Buenos Aires on
January 9. according to a statement
ssued here tonight by the Zionist or
ganization of America, quoting a report
t has received from the Argentine cap
ital.
According to this report, a "white
guard" was orgainzed there following
rumor that strikes in that city were
the beginning of a bolshevlst revolu
tion Incited by the Jews. The report
charged that, with co-operation of the
police, the "white guard" raided the
Jewish quarters "killing a number that
cannot be estimated because all the
bodies were buried in a common grave."
Jews and persons who. resembled Jews
were stopped on the street, it was said.
even synagogues were raided on the
ground that maximalists were being
hidden there from the police.
The Argentine branch of the Zionist
organization, the report continued
finally succeeded in getting the police
to end the "pogrom" after It had as
serted there were no bolheviki among
the Argentine Jews.
Although for more than two years
disorder has been rife In the Argentine
capital the most serious riot occurred
last January about the time of the al
leged Jewish pogrom, when, in trou
ble growing out of the harbor strike,
m-hlch Inter led to nation aliznt ion of
I the port. 80 persons were killed and
800 wounded on the streets. Steady
growth of "bolshevism was reported,
and following word that a bolshevlst
army was Invading Argentina after a
battle with frontier police at Port
Natal is, Chile. 1400 reds were rounded
up and put on a cruiser for deportation.

tenth article of the covenant, and con
ceding the argument that this clause
had been Included to protect the na
tions born of the war. the speaker re
garded it "as a trouble breeder, and
not a "peacemaker."
It makes no allowance, he said, for
changes In the make-up of member
nations which may be found advisable
and "aacrlbes a soundness of Judgment
to the peace conference in erecting
states and defining boundaries which
nobody In the history of the world has
ever possessed."
Smaller Armaments Fevered.
Mr. Hughes declared that he saw
neither "severity nor hardship" in the
articles relating to investigations and
recommendations by the league for re
duction of armaments. He regarded the
provisions for arbitration as confined
generally to "existing practice" and
'falling far short of any positive as
surance against war."
Emphasizing tha. submission of in
ternational disputes to the league au
thorities is optional also, as Is the
decision of member nations to go to
war to enforce an award of the arbi
tration authorities made after such a
submission, he found merit, however.
In the "coollng-off" process set up In
the allowance of three months for
consideration of the arbitrators' deci
sion before disputes may go to war.
The provision for reports by member
nations of impending international dis
pute, the former supreme court jurist
asserted, "gives voice to the lesson of
the great war. It commits to no ac
tion, leaves the door open for the only
co-operation that can properly be con
templated; that is. the co-operation
which at the time of the exigency Is
deemed to be advisable."
Monroe Doctrine Important.
Mr. Hughes said that definite recog
nition should be made In the league
covenant for the Monroe doctrine and
hlle urging the clause prohibiting
European aggression on the American
continent in any- form, he advocates
also reserving the right of any nation
to decline a mandatory for the admin
istration of foreign territory. Admit
ting the plan had "decided merit," the
speaker asserted that "it does not fol
low that the United States should as
sume the obligation of a mandatory in
the eastern hemisphere. Such an un
dertaking would present the most seri
ous questions. It is clear that we
ought not to be put in a position where
we would be bound, even morally, to
accept such a designation."
Amount to Be Raised by Taxation in
the Future Estimated at Nine
teen Billion Marks Each Tear.
BERLIN". March 26. (By the As
sociated Press.) The German govern
ment has not yet been able to prepare
new budget lor 1919 and has sub
mitted to the national assembly pro
visional estimates for April, May and
June. These total 3,000,000,000 marks.
The measure fixes the salaries of
ministers at 64.000 marks annually.
This sum covers House rent and ex
penses "of representation."
President Kbert is given 100,000
marks for social expenses and enter
tainment.
German revenues from 1914 to the
end of 1918 amounted to 17.000.000,000
marks, the German minister of finance.
Dr. ischlirer. declared in a memoran
dum presented to the national assembly
at Weimar.
War expenditures totaled 186.000.000.-
000 marks, to which .should be added
cost of demobilization.
Huge Debts Contracted.
The memorandum showed that war
damages in Germany amounted to 4.
500.000.000 marks, claims of ship owners
to 1,500,000,000 marks and 5.000,000,000
marks was spent for relief of families
of dead soldiers.
Debts contracted by the government
during the war aggregated 157,900,
000.000 marks.
Dr. Schiffer estimated that the na
tional annual expenditures for the
future would be 14,000.000.000 marks.
compared to 2,400,000,000 marks before
the war. The annual expenditures of
ndividual states and communes in the
future would be 5 C00. 000. 000 marks,
compared to 3,000,000,000 marks before
the war.' The total amount to be cov-
red by taxation in the future would
be 19.000,000.000 marks each year. Be
fore the war 5,000.000,000 marks was
raised by taxation. .
Three Parties Join In Prussia.
The majority socialists in Prussia, in

were obliged to join hands with the

price of centrist support Is the post

whose principal planks is in favor of an

Fifty Thousand Dollars a Day
for Preachers
And They Need the Money Right Now
YOU would think preachers would be more provident. Wouldn't
you? Good enough men, but lacking- in business ability, you
think. Say, you business man, do you know the average salary for
preachers in the 12 leading- denominations is just $774 a year?
That's the pay of the men devoting their lives to making your
employes, and yourself, better workmen and better citizens. ,
That's why we business men have to warn you to keep the church
out of bankruptcy. A preacher is a good investment. The man
who goes to church on Sunday, goes to work on Monday rested,
refreshed, happy, ambitious to do his best for you. He is a val
uable employe. Are you helping to keep him valuable?
Never mind the bronze memorial tablet; look after the preacher's
pay envelope. Don't think of charity in the face of services
rendered. It's a debt you owe. The greatest "Debt of Honor" you
ever incurred.
A preacher is a builder of citizens; you couldn't do business with
out him. You know a church adds value to surrounding property,
and it's the preacher who makes the church valuable.
The church needs millions right now; get the facts about this great
investment. The most strictly business task before you in this in
stance is to say to a stenographer, "Take a. letter to

COLLAPSE HELD UNLIKELY
Peace Is Expected to 'Relieve
Finances of Europe.
PARIS, March 25 (By the Associat
ed Frees.) Persistent rumors that all
Europe is on the verge of a financial

a prominent American financial expert

Conditions were serious, he added,
but not panicky and will doubtless be
relieved greatly when peace is signed
and embargoes lifted. He preaictea
England will be stronger within a year
than ever before.
Discussing France, the financier saia
the situation was unsatisfactory De-
cause the government does not levy a
heavy enough taxation. He declared
that the French people were too pa
triotic to let their government become
hnnkrunt and predicted an Immeaiate
increase in the direct taxation upon the
wealthy.

Corruption in Supreme Court in
Final Distribution of Prop

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26. A fight
for a distribution of the vast estate
left by James G. Fair, former United
States senator from Nevada and father
of Mrs.- Herman Oelrichs and Mrs. W.
K. Vanderbilt of New York Is to be
reopened here, following published al
legations that final distribution of the
estate was secured through corruption
practised in the state supreme court,
it was announced here today. The new
action is to be filed by Lieutenant W.
E. Crothers, late of the Canadian army,
and one of the six surviving heirs.
Fair died in 1894, leaving a $12,000.
000 estate. Of this $250,000 was willed
to the late Mrs.- Margaret J. Crothers
of San Jose, a sister of the decedent
and mother of Lieutenant Crothers. The
will was broken in the superior court
by Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt,
who obtained judgment invalidating
the Crothers' claim. The instrument
later was upheld and the lower court
reversed by the supreme court. A re
hearing was granted, the outcome of
which was a decision re-establishing
the judgment of the superior court.
