(Continued from Pica One)
Great Britain would facilitate Europe's
economic recovery by waiving financial
benefit from German indemnity clauses
relating to pensions, declared Alfred E.
Zimmera, British' educator and historian,
who addressed the City club Friday eve
ning on the International situation. Dr.
Zimmern, who Is spending eix weeks at
Reed college, presented a graphic picture
of the world today from the English
point of view, and hla wife, al French
-woman, followed with a plea for Taneo-
American friendship. Both apeaKera
were introduced by President R. F.
Schols of Reed college, who waa a col
legemate of the Englishman at Oxford
university. .

faith In regard to the indemnity, and the
tesultine lessening of the reparations.
Germany can and should settle her debt,
he eaid. Cancellation of allied war debts
was advocated by the speaker, who pre
sented moral and financial reasons why
America should take the initiative in re
establishing herself and the nations of
Europe on a basla of friendship, rather
than one of debtor and creditor. fe
Dr. Zimmern characterized the Wash
ington conference as a success, insofar
as it limited its acts to its agenda, but
declared that wherever It touched Europe
it failed. Ha cited the submarine aa Il
lustrative, and declared that It was an
impertinence to -consider discontinuance
of this means of warfare without con
sulting those Mediterranean nations,
Greece, Jugo-Slavia and Spain, and other
lesser naval powers whose Bole weapon
the submarine is.
Dr. Zimmern expressed his faith in the
outcome of the present world problems.
and said America's immediate problem
is the development of a national person
ality. an American culture, of which
there Is already much promise.
SHE DEFENDS FRANCE
In speaking of Frarxe, Mrs. Zimmern
deplored the lack of understanding in
this country regarding France's position
on the armament question. France is
not a militant country, she declared, but
until a word Of regret is heard from Ger
many France must continue to doubt.
France as a nation has suffered ; she Is
not geographically Isolated as is Amer
ica, and she cannot afford to have her
homes destroyed again by invasion.

theme of remarks by Governor CHcott,
Secretary of State Kozer and State
Highway Commissioners Booth, Teon
and Barratt, before the conference on
traffic problems here this morning.
The responsibility upon the man In the
field was emphasised by Governor Olcoti
who urged upon the state traffic officers

all traffic regulations but with all pos

Secretary of State Kozer reviewed the
growth of the state squad from three
members under the act of 1820 up to the
force of 13 which will be in effect under
the act of the last special session after
March 1.
"Enforce the law" was the keynote
around which R. A. Booth, chairman cf
the state highway commission, wound
his remarks. Booth pointed out - the
fact that the state traffic squad was
clothed with the responsibility for the
preservation of the highways of the
state, valued at millions of dollars, as
well as the motor vehicles which trav
ersed these highways and the lives of
the motorists themselves and declared
that the laws governing traffic had been
made to be enforced and should be en
forced irrespective of who might be
found guilty of their violation.
Both John Byon and W. B. Barratt
Indorsed the stand of their colleague on
the highway commission and pledged
the support of the commission to the
traffic men in ca raying out the work
which had been assigned to them.
The meeting was presided over by
. A, Raffety, chief of the state traf
fic squad.
Coincident with today's meeting
