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.
GERMANY LACK I WO IX EKFOKT;
"If Germany made a similar effort,''
said poumer, "sh would soon be in a
position to pay us the debt site owes
Wfc :,--..-T . a .
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. ' . " : - ;

SEEKS PEACE WITH
Sll FEIN LEADERS
British Feel Out Irish on Compro
mise Proposal to Grant Limited
Part of Home Rule. . v
(By Cnited News)
'London, June 5. 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. ; ' .'

- 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. - .
'These; special sessions will 'also con
sider the dispute ; between the CzechCHi
Slovaks and Poles over the city, of
Teschen, probably appointing an inves
tigating commission to arrive at, a settle
ment. ' I . :; v (i ?" '' '.-.-.,
It is authoritatively learned that the
council will take this I opportunity f for
discussing the whole controversy between
Poland and Russia. It: is probable that
the. council will stureesti an armistice t
permit arbitration of the points: in dis
pute. - It Is understood that the teague
leaders hope, to smooth out the way for
an all-arouijgl "get together" meeting of
the entente nations with the Russians.
Highly important ' developments in
Europe's International situation ' are im
pending. It la anticipated that . the
league will point etit to Gregory Krassin
that if the Soviets refuse- to negotiate
or recognize the league, its entire-membership
w1I Join In an ecoftbmlcr boycott
which would practically make, Russia
a world outcast. - . i' ;
The decision- of the' United States' to
appoint unofficial', delegates : to the fi
nancial conference at, Brussels in July
is looked -upon favorably by the league.
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.

' The elections are to be held June C,
and , during- the last two weeks there
have been countless rumors and reports
of Impending action, now from the Lett

Soviet Envoy Snubs J
King George's Wish
For Private Meeting
(- By Bebert Prew . ,
London, June -5.: "Negotiations" be
tween Buckingham Palace and Gregory
Krassin ended by the lattet. declining a
royal invitation. -
Xast Saturday the king's query visited
Krassin in his hotel and formally re
Quested him to come and meet King
George.
. 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." This compliment failed to alter Kras
sfn's decision and his answer was, in ef
fect theugV In more diplomatic lan
guage, then Iashall not come."
