LLOYD GEORGE VS. BP.iAHD United State* Will Take- ffar Hand In the Diepute—Administration Drops Fight on Borah's NavwH Reduction Plan—Railway Wacrr Cut Comings

By EDWARD W. PICKARD. tipper Silesia threatens, to become a wedge to spilt the entente alliance. The Poles, slowing up- In their Insurgent movement, are relying on France und have asked at least the moral support of America. The British, as represented by their goveroineul, are thoroughly disgusted with the Poles and resent the attitude and action* of the French. France practically unanimously stands hack of the Pole* and promises to "go It alone” if recessury. Italy and Japan are said to side with the British, and America will not. for the present, mix in the Imbroglio at

all

Premier Lloyd George probably has been talking too much—a fault of hi* i which has b.en in evidence before. First he told the bouse of commons ; that Poland wu* in the wrong, that It ; was up to the allied plebiscite forces, 1 which are mighty weak, to restore order In Upper Silesia and put the Pole* Imck where he thinks they belong, and that if they could not do it. fairness demanded that the Germans be permitted to do it He also sent to Paris a note severely criticising the action of the French troops in Upper Silesia and declaring the French government was supporting Korfnnty in his rebel-

lion.

Premier- Briand and the press of Paris responded with bitter attacks on the course being pursued by Great Britain, and it was declared France never would recognize the alleged promise made by the British to Germany. that she should 'have Upper Silesia in return for acceptance of the reparations ultimatum. Though the total plebiscite vote In the zone was In favor of Germany, certain of the districts voted for union with Poland, and tbi French claim these should go to Poland In accordance with the I treaty of Versailles. In fact both j sides to the controversy assert that ! that treaty ams: be carried out. but apparently they Interpret It dlfferont- ] ly. The French say order could have been maintained easily If Great Briti alii had not withdrawn her part of the ! occupational forc“, and that l.er ex- ! cuse that the troops were needed at | home Is Insufficient. The opposition i press in England admits tile truth of

' this.

I Mr. Lloyd George reinforced his [ statements by further assertion that he would not accept the French ow { tentions, and be spoke with biting , sarcasm of 'die attitude of the Fren -h ' press. 1 he editors of Paris. Indeed. ! are saying some very unpleasant

The supreme council l» expected to convene very soon, especially to take np the Silealan problem, and American Ambassador Hurvey will alt with it. But. ua was said above, he will take no part In Unr discussion.* concerning that question, oor will he even express nn opinion ua It This was made dear by Secretary of State Hughe* In hi* reply to an> appeal frou* Poland for American, support. Mr. Hughe* explained to Pncce Luliiuoiraky. Polish mlnl.-ier. that this Is t» accord with the "trariltianal policy of the United States" not to become involved In matters of purely Europaam concern. Tlie Polish note accuses the Bllli-s. except France, of dealing with the whole question "m* by principles of Justice, but by the material Interests of those powers," and it «oacludcs: "This Is net a purely Karopetiti matter. On the Just .solution of the matter of Upper Silesia depends the pacification of this province und the stimulation of lu productivity, which has a great Importance In the re-establlihnwot of the economic sta-

bility of the whole world.”

8o the Silesian question has erenied a most serious situation, and Germany is sitting hack hupciul of a real breach 'n the unity of the allle*. But probably wiser councils will prevail, the anger of the chief actors will subside, und some peaceful way out of the

muddle will be discovered.

The allies last week sent to Berlin a note reiterating the demand that Gertnutiy be disarmed by June SO, and the German government began looking for means of compliance, especially as regards the orgeacb of Bavaria which has refused to disband. Berlin Informed the reparations commission that it was ready to pay 150.000.000 gold marks of the billion due May 81. The sum, partly in gold and partly in fnrHgn securities, will be paid through eu American hank, probably Morgan's. Tlie gold will be d< posited In the Belchsbank subject to call and u check sent to New York and from there to I’aris. Thu* the transfer of fit) tons ot gold from Berlin to Paris is obviated. The United States government la not

concerned lu the transaction.

Early last week It became apparent that the administration had virtually 1 abandoned its fight against Senator Borah s amendment to the pending : nival appropriation bill, which requests • tue President to enter into negotla1 tlons with Great Britain and Japan ' for an agreement to curtail naval i building. Maybe Mr. Harding's • change of attitude was forced, for test votes hi the senate on Wednesday j ghowoit the opponents of the naval affairs committee's program were nuI merons enough to do about as they pleased. The opposition included sevi era’ Insurgent Republican senators and all the Democrats. Senator Poindexter. chairman, alrerdy had written 1 to the President informing him of the ‘ situation, stating that many of the ■ administration’s strongest supporters ' would lie embarrassed If called on to ‘ | vote against the Borah amendment. 1 which they had advocated In the last 1 ' hou-s of the Wilson administration. He did not tell what the President ‘ i replied, but said: "I have received ; ; nothing Indicating any tie.il for niak- ■* lug a point of order against r oppos- • j |ng the Borah amendment, which is j the same us the one adopted in tlie i last cotigrex*. I am heartily In favor c ! of an international limit.-"Ion of am. < i aments upon a bnsl* doing Justice to

It was predicted the Iromrc-nta would not go further In the disarmament plan 'nan to force adoption of the Borah amendment, though they might favor ore offered by .Senator Pomerene aothorizlng the President to auuieiid the present building program t.embus the nntcvme of 'he proposed-

negotiations.

The udminlst ration al.to let this house know- that It had no object!' to Its proceeding with the peace w-l Germany rcsotnlton, and the house romiulttee <m foreign affairs has be- ! gun work on the measure. The house | leaders do not agree .with certain phases of the Xnox resolution adopted by the senate, hot the differences probably can easily b» reconciled.

Thb«. of .-ourae, won't p*t anywhere ex. opt Into a pigeonhole, but tlicr* was some real solace for the wets In Inst week’s news. On Friday more than two-thlnls of the federal prohibition forces were discharged on orders from CoramisKlnner Kramer, because of lack of fund* w-lth which to pay their salaries. This condition will last. It was asserted, for 4f days, and the bootleggers all over the country got busy at once. Mr. Kramer Imped' the police would supply the deficiency In enforcing the dry law. but In the cases of many cities his hu[»e was (.useless.
