From Great Britain are to come Preier Lloyd George (unless detained by foreseen events), ex-Premier Balfour, ord Lee, and Sir Auckland Geddes, ritish Ambassador to Washington. The ness of the presence of the two most rominent Britons at the Paris' Conferace is of course evident to all. The hoice of Lord Lee is no less happy. imself half American, because, as he ys, Lady Lee is American, he has also en much service here as military atché of the British Embassy, while his resent position as First Lord of the dmiralty gives a prime interest in any eeting called to consider the limitation armaments. The propriety of the 1oice of Sir Auckland Geddes is also >parent. From France are to come Premier riand, ex-Premier Viviani, Colonial inister Sarraut, and M. Jusserand, mbassador at Washington. If any men in plead the special and appealing use of France, they should be the re›urceful Briand and the eloquent iviani-indeed, some Congressmen who uld not speak French resented the anslation by Senator McCormick of the eech Viviani delivered before Congress, full of meaning were his voice and Testures. French colonial interests in le Pacific, which may be affected by the Vonclusions of the Conference, should be thell represented by the French Colonial linister. But what American needs to earn of M.

TALY AND JAPAN ROM Italy are to come to the Arms x-Minister of the Treasury, a man of ormer Austrian affiliations, as his name Indicates; Filippo Meda, another exFinance Minister and leader of the Clerical Popular party-even in the period when Pius IX kept Catholics from taking part in politics Signor Meda was showing his co-religionists the necessity to combat the Socialists with their own political weapons; Luigi Albertini, cditor of the Milan "Corriere NOVEMBER 9, 1921 della Sera," the most widely read newspaper in Italy (Signor Albertini, it may be remembered, turned the influence of his powerful paper towards a conciliatory Fiume policy); finally, Signor Ricci, the erudite Italian Ambassador at Washington. It From Japan comes a delegation of peculiar picturesqueness and interest. is headed by no less a personage than Prince Tokugawa, head of a house whose Shoguns helped to rule Japan for three hundred years. The Prince is also President of the House of Peers in the Japanese Parliament. The choice of such a man as head of the delegation to Washington is taken as indicating the importance attached by Japan to the Conference. The other delegates are Admiral Baron Tomosaburo Kato, Minister of the Navy, a man of signal competence, and Baron Kijuro Shidehara, Japanese Ambassador at Washington. AUSTRIAN AND GERMAN FINANCE THE HE newspapers have recently been filled with headlines saying that Austria is already in and Germany is on the verge of a financial abyss. This was only to be expected. A trusted correspondent of The Outlook, Mr. W. C. Gregg, who as a manufacturer and importer is practically familiar with economics and finance, cabled The Outlook last April that both Austria and Germany were then pursuing a course which would inevitably lead to catastrophe. He said in The Outlook of April 27: Like Russia, Austria is a political experimental laboratory. The cost is borne mostly by the experimenters. The rest of the world can learn a lot if it wants to. If we wish to know about food control, Austria dictates the price at which bread shall be sold. She buys wheat at the market price, sells to the bakers at a great loss, and finishes a year with a deficit for this item about equal to one-half her entire revenues. Do we want to know about housing? Austria maintains the pre-war rental rates, but the value of her paper money has fallen so that a landlord who was formerly receiving one hundred dollars a month is now getting only seventy-five cents a month for his property. Before the war five Austrian crowns equaled a dollar; now it takes seven hundred of them. Figure it for yourself. Shall we investigate railway control? Austria can tell you all about it. She has lost in one year eleven billion crownsan amount equal to two-fifths of her total revenues-but she makes a pas senger rate as low as six cents for one hundred miles. Her highest de luxe train fare is one-half cent a mile. How large an annual deficit dare a government incur? Austria dares to the tune of seventy-one billion crowns expended, with revenues totaling twenty-nine billions. Do you ask about the amount of paper money in circulation and their gold reserve? The first is ninety-two billion crowns, the second about one-third of one per cent of it. The result of all this is just short of chaos. Be the causes or motives what they may, the people of Central Europe are in a desperate financial condition, and all of them are looking to the American people and the American Government for help. To help individuals with food and clothing and other commodities is one thing; to help the existing Governments financially is another. The financial steps which the United States Government takes to help Europe in her present plight, which is partly the result of extravagance and partly the result of foolish social and economic experiments, should be taken with the very wisest of caution and consideration. LLOYD GEORGE UPHELD question shifted last week from the HE center of interest in the Irish Conference to Parliament. Like Briand, Lloyd George will come to the Washington Conference (if he does come) with an overwhelming vote of confidence from the people as represented in the House of Commons-the actual vote was 439 to 43. The opposition was composed chiefly of a small but bitter group of Unionists who all along have opposed any dealings with what they call the Sinn Fein "murder gang." In his speech Lloyd George admitted that De Valera and his colleagues did not hold a direct mandate from a majority of the Irish people, but, he asked, "Who else is there with whom to deal?" He did not present a hopeful view of the outcome of the Conference. The matter might, he said, very probably come to a critical point within a few days. With every emphasis possible Lloyd George affirmed that the choice was between three things-to make Ireland an independent nation, to rule it as practi |
