GEORGE HAS LONG INTERVIEW
Historic Paper Points Out Western
Europe s Final Proposals To
Soviet Russia
Genoa. —Premier Lloyd George, For
eign Minister Schanzer, of Italy; M.
Bartbou, of France; M. Jaspar, of j
Belgium, met recently and set forth In
writing the concessions they are
ready to make to Russia. After the
conference, which was held at the
Villa de Albertis, it was announced
that they had approved a document
stating the position of their countries
on the Russian question and that this
will be submitted soon to a meeting of
the Kubcomrnission on Russian affairs
for approval and draft.
This document is of historic impor
tance, according to the plenipotentiar
ies, who declare that It contains west
ern Europe's final proposals to soviet
Russia and explains exactly what Rus
sia must give to western Europe in
exchange.
In taking this step Mr. Lloyd
George and the oiher leaders hope io
put an end to the present uncertainty
of the negotiations. They are anxious
to put their cards on the table and
are asking the Russians to do like
wise honestly.
Mr. Loyd George before inviting
the other to meet him at the Villa
de Alherils, had a long and separate
Interview with each of them, thus lad
ing the foundation of the document
which to their minds should be of
such a nature as lo force the Rus
sians to say yes or no cm each ques
tion.
The most difficult point still re
mains, that concerning the protection
of foreigners In Russia, the conces
sions to be given them for lost prop
erties and guarantees for their future
work on Russian territory.
As to referring the matters which
will be discussed by the meeting of
all the signatories of the Versailles
treaty announced by Mr. Lloyd George
to either the supreme council or the
ambassador’s council, ns some have
suggested, It was pointed out lhal the
date on which the next German rep
aration payment falls due is May 31,
wherefore, It is imperative that some
sort of understanding be reached im
mediately, especially as all the pow
ers concerned are assembled at Genoa.
The only answer of Premier Poincare
Is awaited for the calling of this meet
ing.

TO PRESS CLAIM ON RUMANIA |
After Many Wrangles, The Keen Mind
Os Lloyd George Determines To j
Force Constructive Efforts
London.—The Russian and Hunga- j
rian delegations at Genoa are nego
tiating a separate treaty which has
been referred to Budapest for final ap
proval, according to the Geno corre
spondent of the Central News. The j
two powers, It Is said, agree to stand
together against Koumania and the
little entente.
Premier Bethlen took a draft of the
treaty to Budapest the other day, the
correspondent learned unofficially. It
Is regarded as creating a new bloc Iso
lating Poland and the litle entente
from her immediate neighbors. So far
as can be learned, the Russians are
pursuing the same policy of not in
forming the conference of tbe negotia
tions as was pursued in drafting the
treaty with Germany. Other delega
tions here have not been advised of
the Hungarian agreement.
The draft taken to Budapest pro
vides for Russian recognition of Hun
garian aspirations for a rectification
of her fronties, Hungary reciprocally
recognizing Russia’s interests in Bes
sarabia which the allies gave to Rou
mania. Russia and Hungary agree to
support each other in pressing their
claims on Roumania.
The document also recognizes the
Russo-German treaty, a clause which
indicates the Soviets are trying to build
up a network of treaties which will
support each other. An air service be
tween Germany, Russia and Hungary
is provided for.

A New "Heatless" Light Is Discovered
Princeton, N. J. —The dawning of an
era of perpetual illumiation was seen j
by scientists in announcement by
Prof. E. Newton Harvey of Princeton
university that he had developed a con

This is a step which science regards as
equal in importance to invention of
the wireless, the telephone, telegraph,
phonograph, airplane, automobile and
other modern devices. Continuous cold
light eventually will do away with all
forms of artificial illumination, accord
ant to belief of scientists. It will he

[OUTLOOK IS BETTER
INSUGAR INDUSTRY
I
SUGAR IS NOW MOVING FROM
CUBA TO EUROPE AND THE
FAR EAST
SUPPLY IS 4,700,000 TONS
Solution For Cuba's Sugar Problem
More Promising Than For
Months
Washington.—The outlook for solu
tlon of Cuba’s sugar problem Is more
promising at present than for many
months past, according to a survey
of the situation prepared by the com
merce department.
Reasonable estimates, the depart
ment said, will place the total avail
able Cuban sugar for the year at 4,-
700,000 tons and solution of the prob
lem rests upon tbe ability of the
world’s consuming market to absorb
that quantity In addition to 2,000,000
tons of tariff protected output.
Hopes of the Cuban sugar trade foi
an advance in demand, the depart
ment declared, were based on the in
visible trade shortage of refined sugar
in this country estimated at 400,000
tons; the increasing population and
consumption in the United States; the
continued absorption of sugar by
world markets even during the height
of Cuban production, and the market
demand in Europe and in the Orient
for raw and refined sugars from Cuba
and the United States growing out of
shortages recently apparent in the
Far East.
Sugar is moving from Cuba even
to the Far East, the department re
ported. and optimists are sure that
the year’s demand from England and
France, estimated at 600,000 tons, will
provide an outlet for a portion of the
balance the United States will be un
able to absorb.

from the service because of failures
in "routine” examinations. Their

said, will result in action to transfer
the reserve into the navy's regular
service at their old ranks.

DYNAMITING LEVEES CHARGED
Thousands Homeless—Refugees Climb
Trees And Housetops—New
Floods Expected
Fort Worth, Texas.—John J. McCain,
chairman of the levee board of Fort
Worth, has issued a statement in which
he declares that the levees around the
rivers, which broke here and flooded
lowlands of this city, were "dynamited
by unknown parties," and that an in
vestigation by a grand jury would be
demanded immediately.
“It is our opinion that the levee did
not break of its own accord, but was
dynamited," JdcCain declared.
“This decision is based on a report
made to me by John J. Lyden, field
supervisor, in which he declared he
had men patrolling the levee a whole
day and night, and that it was his opin
ion that the levee was dynamited.”
¥he night of April 25 found the
stricken flood area of north Texas
with hundreds of refugees cluttering
trees and housetops and the swollen
Trinity river threatening to break the
dam at Lake Worth and turn Fort
Worth into a sea of floting humanity.
Although several areoplane fleets
are scouring the flooded district for
victims and radio is being used in an
effort to re-establish communication
with smaller towns from which
nothing has been heard since the rec
ord cloudburst —small headway had
been made the next morning by re
lief workers.
Estimates of the dead ranged from
25 to 50, with 1 6known to have pen
ished.
It is impossible to figure the damage
as yet, but already it has gone far
into the millions.
The American Legion has taken
charge of Fort Worth and armed
guards are everywhere in the water
soaked city.
Rescue workers are making a mad
race against a new flood —expected as
a result of another severe rainstorm
at Bridgeport and other nearby towns
on the Trinity river. Search for bod
ies is progressing with exasperating
slowness because of the insurmounta
ble handicap provided by high water
on every hand.
Anything that will float is being seized
upon by refugees. Thousands are
homeless or marooned elsewhere.
As levee after levee broke, oldtime
residents refused to heed warnings and
were caught in water traps. One vet
eran homesteader declared that he had
lived in his house for 30 years and
refused to budge when a modern Paul
Revere dashed past with the warning
to flee the oncoming water. The aged
man was drowmed.
d/omen Would Punish Nations For War
Baltimore. —Nations declaring war
would be put in the same class as in
dividuals committing murder aiid
would be punishable under a new in
ternational code, if ideas offered in
the form of resolutions and reports at
the session of the National League
of Women Voters here, should be put
into effect. The entire day was given
over to committee reports and resolu
tions which should come up for action
later. Creation of a department on in
ternational co-operation to prevent war
was recommended by the Women
Voters’ League.
Debate Is Bitter In The Dail Eireann
Dublin.—Bitter exchanges between
Arthur Griffith president of the dail
eireann and Eamon De Valera, the re
publican • leader, more intense than
any heretofore, marked the proceed
ings of the dail recently. Charges and
counter charges of responsibility for
:he present disorders, characterized the
debate, and Mr. Griffith, in a strong
attack, endeavored to show that De
Valera, while professing rigid repub
licanism, was willing to compromise.

j (Democrat of Utah) said the increases
proposed ranged from 150 to 600 per !

oped that she was a member of the
