Reichstag Hears Explanation
of Reparations Stand.
TONE IS MODERATE ONE
London Perspective Declared to
ltcveal Better Than Berlin Great
Anti-German reeling.
BERLIN, March 13. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Dr. Walter Simons,
foreign secretary, explained to the
reichstag Saturday the proceedings at
the London reparations conference.
The tone of the speech was extremely
moderate.
'I must say," he declared, "that
when one comes face to face with our
opponents in London; when one- hears
what the situation is In their coun
tries and under what distress and
cares they are laboring, it becomes
clear that their demands are the re
sult of extraordinarily heavy troubles
and distress."
While maintaining the alleged Il
legality of the penalties, he declared
lie was opposed to rupturing rela
tions with the allies, because "our
position in the world Is not such that
it could be improved by a breach."
London Perspective Better.
He admitted that it was possible
to get a better world perspective from
London than from Berlin and thereby
realize how general the opinion is
that Germany is In the wrong, and
has not done enough to requite that
wrong.
"If we now resorted to severe meas
ures," he said, "this would only be
regarded as confirmation of that
opinion and we shoulld lose all that
good will we so sorely need."
Appropriation of 4.700,04)0,000 marks
to indemnify German shippers for the
tonnage lost because of the terms of
the Versailles treaty was approved
by the reichstag yesterday.
Boycott Appeal Ileported.
The news agency despatch from
Stuttgart said the chambers of com
merce throughout Wurttemburg, in
an appeal to trade, commerce and in
dustry and the population, have urged
a boycott against English. French
and Belgian goods until the entente
revokes what are termed the coercive
penalties against the Germans.
General von Seecht of the German
delegation, in giving his Impressions
of the London conference to members
of the minjfrtry of defense, expressed
the opinion that had Premier Lloyd
George contemplated a breakdown in
the negotiations he would not have
tield t lie conference in London. He
attributed the breaking up of the
conference to Premier Briand and M.
Loucheur of France.
their rope financially, they say; their!
earnings have vanished. In many In
stances they are burdened with bills
long overdue; their very rates are a
brake on business and are driving
traffic to the motor trucks. They
cannot live financially, they claim,
and pay present wage rates.
Should it come to pass where the
roads face general bankruptcy, as
W. W. Atterbury recently told the
labor board was the situation almost
now. there would be but one power
that could save them the govern
ment of the United States.
A verdict favorable to labor in the
present dispute would lead the ex
ecutives to claim one of two things,
a test of the law with resultant
strikes, or general receiverships. One
or both of these lead straight to gov
ernment control.
The senate committee on Interstate

existing conditions. It plans a most
exhaustive inquiry into the whole
subject, beginning within the next 30

the railroads whether they are
grossly mismanaged or. bled white by
swollen payrolls. It wants to help

Accounting to Be Asked.
The first thing the committee prob-'
ably will do will be to ask the Inter
state commerce commission to give
an accounting of its stewardship
during the last year. The next group
to be questioned will be the rail ex
ecutives. The next will be labor.
Every big railroad In the country
Is preparing for that inquiry. So
is every big railroad labor union. All
cards are to lie on the table. Senator
Cummins will preside. It Is recalled
that labor fought him bitterly back
in his home state of Iowa last fall
and that he was re-elected.

(Copyright. 1821, by The Oregonian.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 13.
(Special.) The new chapter of
Washington's social history, which
began March 4, gives promise of be
ing a lively one, crowded with events
of widespread interest and signifi
cance, both social and otherwise. The
new administration "got down to
business" almost immediately, both In
their routine of official duties and In
a social way.. The Hardings began
by entertaining all of the Harding
relatives who were In town there
was an army of them at luncheon
and again at dinner the first day
they were In the White House. And
that very afternoon Mrs. Harding
through the country. The Germans
say you encourage banditism."
"Why should I encourage bandit
ism?" Korfanty replied.
"The trouble in the country Is
partly due to actual banditism over
which I have no control and partly
antagonism which began last year
when the German Heimattreu organ
ization went about breaking up
Polish organizations and even driv
ing Poles out of Silesia."
"Is the plebscite going to be
quiet?" I asked.
Heavy Majority Claimed.
"As far as I am concerned It will
be," Korfantry replied.
"The Germans are resorting to
bringing back the descendants of ex
Prussian officials, but the majority
Is too heavily on our Bide for this
to make much difference."
"To the outside world S'lesia means
a coal supply, not people," I re
marked. I
"The outside world seems Interested
as to what will become ofthe people,
but the ceal question is regarded
much more seriously."
"President Wilson placed the Uues
tion of peoples rights before economic
questions." Korfantry replied. "But
suppose we regard it simply economi
cally. The Germans say Silesia Is
essential to them; we Poles say the
same thing. There is, then, the ob
vious necessity of letting the people
decide."

Downfall of Germany Cited
Argument In Favor of Dis

OSAKA. Japan. March 13. At two
mass meetings here yesterday, at
tended by thousands of persons, reso
lutions were adopted declaring that
the budget gives preponderating im
portanoe to armaments, which places
r. unDearame burden on the nation
and is contrary to public opinion. It
was decided to send messages to the
members of the house of peers asking
tneir support in the disarmament
movement.
Speeches favoring disarmament
'ere made by some prominent busi
ness leaders. Professor Suchiro of
Kyoto university, said Japan should
take the lead in an international dis
cussion on armament. If this were
done, he said, ail questions on the
fiunjcot would rapidly be solved.
AH speakers at the meetings, which
were held under the auspices of the
Joint Association of Trades Guilds of
Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto, denounced
the budget for the failure to provide
Bocial reforms. They attacked the
government for, as one of them
described It, "driving Japan to ruin
at high speed." He also declared
Japan was powerless to face the most
powerful military clique.
Huge sums, it was pointed out. were
being spent for armament, while the
children were being deprived of their
education and railway rates were he

and navy.
Banjl Muto, a leading cotton manu
facturer, warned that the fate of Ger

pirations of ambitious politicians.
GREAT CONFLICT BREWING
(Continued From First Page.)
procedure of the transportation law
in readjusting wages. First comes
the notification to employes that
there will be a cut. That notice has
been given by the Pennsylvania, the
Kew York Central and other systems
and roads, big and little.
Others Will Act Soon.
Still others are to give it in a few
days. Then comes a conference with
the employes, a disagreement ac
cording to the present temper of labor
leaders and a day in court.
The court is the railroad labor
board. Under the law. It sits as
umpire in wage disputes. It will give
its decision and this t,lme it cannot
do other than uphold either the roads
or the employes.
If it upholds the roads, how will
labor take it?
Can the leaders hold their men?
Will there be repetitions of the
switchmen's strike of last spring and
other outlaw strikes less disastrous
than that one?
Or will labor take a vacation as
the anthracite miners did last year?
Or will the decision be accepted
by the employes without demon
stration? Questions Are Considered.
These are the questions almost
every railroad executive is asking
himself and his board of directors.
On the other hand, the labor board
may uphold the employes and decide
that the present wage scales are fair,
equitable and Just. -
What, then, will the railroads do?
Will they reduce wages anyhow
and test the law?
To do so would be swift invitation
to a general strike.
Will they accept the verdict? Their
balance sheets shout "no."
The roads are Bearing the enda of
United States government have gone
to the scene in an effort to bring
about resumption of eervice. The
strike vote In the southeastern dis
trict is being taken very seriously by
tli j men; and although an affirmative
vote might not result In calling a
strike, the effect of such a vote
would be Important Indeed.
Outlaw Strikes Scooted.
"There will be no more outlaw
strikes," declared B. M. Jewell, head
of the railway department of the
American Federation of Labor.
His meaning was amply illustrated
by the speed with which the 16 heads
of the railroad organizations issued
their sanctions for the Atlanta, Bir
mingham & Atlantic strike. The "out
law strikes" of some time ago were
simply the culmination of months of
dissatisfaction on the part of the men,
and the union leaders have appar
ently come to the conclusion that it
will be best in the future to make
such spontaneous walkouts legal
rather than risk their effect toward
disruption of the organizations.
Should the vote favor a strike in
the southeastern district, in which are
located such important carriers as the
Southern railway, the Seaboard Air
tine and the Atlantic Coast line, and
should such a strike be called, not
only would the southeastern states
be completely paralyzed, but it would
be practically impossible, it is be
lieved, to prevent the strike from
spreading to all parts of the country.
Employee Alao Solid.
The close agreement maintained
between the railroad executives is be
ing paralleled by solidar ty among
the employes.
The best available Information,
however, does not Indicate that the
railroad workers will court a strike,
but rather that they will leave mat
ters for the present wholly in the
hands of the railroad labor board.
The employes contend, first, that
wage reductions will not solve the
railroads' problems.
They point out that men already
laid off have an earning power of
some $300,000,000 and that the situa
tion has grown worse rather than
better because the railroad proper
ties are deteriorating for lack of
adequate personnel, and that since
the railroads need 3900,000,000 to
make up their dividend requirements,
wage reductions cannot possibly ef
fect the desired result.

The Hardings have had many busy
days. The one big party at which
they were special attractions, how
ever, was that given by the National
Press club at Keiths theater. "Every
body" was there.
Of all the diplomats at this party
the one that interested most was the
new Italian ambassador. I am told
by one who knows that Ronaldi
Kiccl had come over just for a year;
has made that condition with his
government and that his family will
not be over at all. Since his arrival
or just before practically all of
the Italian embassy family, includ
ing even the Bramblllas Mme.
Brambilla was Julia Meyer, who
didn't want to go at all, were re
called and most of them for the same
reason, and that ex-Ambassador
Ramano Avezzano was recalled for
being tabooed with certain Ameri
cans for one reason or another.
The ambassador refused to com
mend a rich American woman, a
prominent New Yorker, who had
done much relief work in Italy, for
a decoration. A friend of hers, an
Italian of much influence, was pro
voked and went back to Italy with
the avowed intention of getting the
ambassador's scalp. He succeeded.
The now ambassador is a close friend
of the Influential Italian who has
since returned to this country and is
now in New iork. He plans to come
to Washington, in the near futu

went to Albert Korfanty, who was
a member of the German reichstag
under the empire from Upper Silesia
but who is now the Polish representa

an adventurous life. His job is to-
make the Polish spirit strong and
to talk down tho German insistence

of the land of upper Silesia is held by
35 landlords, most of whom are uer
man nooiemen.
German Left in Control.
"The peasants know that if Silesia
becomes Polish the estates will auto
matically be divided up, according to
the Polish law. This nas an import
ant influence on the sentiment of the
peasants, which naturally we do not
overlook.
"German functionaries were Im
ported and there are few Silesian of
ficials under the empire. Since the
end of the war the officials have been
German socialists, but the inter-allied
commission has left the Germans in
control.
I make no secret that I have or

ble that I also have secret agents
who watch the Germans to discover
what plans they are making, partic

moods and phases until it reaches and holds the
normal. It is, in the opinion of this bank, the
present business of the West to put its house in
order and prepare itself not only to meet the op
portunity which lies ahead, but also to hasten the
return of healthy and stable prosperity. To the
achievement of this end we are prepared to con
tribute our banking experience and facilities.
