Paria, June 6. -France' "internal situation continues to grow clearer. The aenate, like" the chamber, has net Itself to the tauk of strengthen ing our finances by the creation of new resources and the discussion which developed before the assem bly at the Luxembourg was worthy of that herd at the Palais ' Bourbon. Doumy, Levy, BertheloC Riooi and Perchot all of these men demonstrates, as had the minister of finance, the ne cessity of a tremendous financial effort being asked of the nation. "England, said Levy, "has not made a greater one,'! and he oroved U.

France is going to pay In taxation something like 560 francs per capita. At a similar rate. Oer tetany could ob tain an annual budget of 40 billions. But as a high official of Germany, r in fact it was the director of official sta tistics recently confessed, German taxes are far below those of . England and consequently i far below those we have imposed upon ourselves, 'i -. Yet this privileged position does not prevent Oermany from crying out Ker misery or from trying to obtain our pity. Perhaps If would be as well to keifp a "part of our pity for our com patriots. , In his remarkable speech, which was received with unanimous plaudit. Fran cois Maraal, minister of finance, de clared with some optimism,: s 'These taxes will be, paid they will be paid with a smile. t .: . . r - " PATIjrO COMES HARD That is saying a good deal. A French man is so constituted that he will blet. he will even die, with a smile. But he'll pay only with much vituperation. Well, he'll vituperate, never donbt It, but nevertheless he will pay, France will "be saved. - .;. -.. -. ' ' At the same time that the "esto ra ti on of our finances .was being prose cuted, we,, were witnessing a , sad set back to revolutionary endencies. , and' a pitifully abortive f"general strike." With the approval of a vast majority of the chamber, the cabinet explained vic toriously the conduct it had followed, in the face st these threats of diborder. " ve aren't strike breakers." said Steeg, minister of the Interior, "but we are civil war breakers." "If the government had yielded,"; said Premier Mlllerand, "the problem of sovereignty would . have been solved- it would have been the triumph of this abominable-' rule which could, not . pos sibly have lasled.1' . And he .-added ; "This chamber is still permeated with the fraternity .of the trenches, and It knows very well what Its first duty la" APPEAL yVKJLV RECEIVED ' The chmbe heard this appeal and congratulated the government upon its refusal to yield. And it rendered equal homage to the wisdom of the, workers who for the most part would not permit themselves to be' led astray by evil advice, and who. understood admirably how unfortunate at a time like this a showing up of nationaK activity would have been. : Let us hope that the evil dream that has troubled France has finally dis appeared.

Government of ficials dealing with the Irish prob lem claim to see the .first slimmer of' hope - that . aa eventual compro mise will be reached with the Sinn Fein. This hope, they say. Is based upon confidential reports . of i government agents who have been feeling out cer tain Sinn Fein leaders upon the chance of , an agreement on the basis of Eng land's granting a limited part - of Ire land ' home rule, with laws , so framed that the province of Ulster will admin ister its own affairs.: As far as is known, this is the 'first time : since the Sinn . Fein .. became a power to . be reckoned with in Ireland that, the , government has conceded bo much as even to approach its leaders, and the recent dealings have been ac complished through an unusually cau tious and ; roundabout manner. It is admitted that .these dickerings may pos sibly be without result, but off icfaia de clare tha.t thus , far their tenders' have met with a certain, amount of success. According to reports, James : Mao Nelll, formerly of the Indian office, was the unofficial go-between in the conver sations with conservative element of the Sinn Fein. : . - -: -L,.-. .; It is intimated that the present home rule bill, upon which debate has been resumed, probably will be eventually amended radically, practically changing the entire context. Italians Peeved at 'Ungracious Act' Of British Premier By C F. Bertslll Paris, June 5. A new rift in the allied lute Is becoming, more and more' ap parent. It is due chiefly to the action of Premier Lloyd George In inviting only his French colleagues to the recent con ferences at Ilythe where decisions were reached immediately concerning Italy. In retaliation for this "ungracious con duct," as the Rome newspapers refer to the British premier's procedure, Italy now is balking on the Spa conference with the Germans. .That conference is to tales place on June 21, but Italy has already informed her allies that she will not be ready for it by that date, and as a result of this another postponement is almost certain. i Another rift will go deeper than that, for . Italy takes the position that she cannot in fairness be expected to con sider herself bound by anything the French and British premiers agreed to at Hythe without her collaboration or con sent. ; ' .' . . ty Ualtad Km) 1 - London, 'June S.- The -actual work of the League of Nations in Its or dained function as peacemaker will be taken up for the first time June 11, when extraordinary sessions of the council will be held lor7 the pur pose of considering the Persian pro test against the Russian invasion. - .

Highly important ' developments in Europe's International situation ' are im pending.

With - the - unofficial announcement of regret that America will not permit these delegates to commit. the government to any program, it is nevertheless felt that the information and advice which they may furnish the league will be invaluable.

Krassin accepted upon the condition that, his visit be publicly announced. In asmuch aav it was felt that a reception of the soviet envoy by the British mon arch under these conditions would have inflamed . public opinion in the allied countries, bis majesty communicated with Premier Lloyd George and finally notified Krassin that he, the king, must 'insist that the visit be secret and that there be no reference to it in the press ln any country. The message to Krassin added that the 'Icing's sole object was "to gain first hanX information about Russia from one of the., most interesting figures in Eu rope."
