At Chicago tlie committee on res nhitions will be in a hurry. It will not have time to rend through nn encclo pedia. It will be able to glnnce nt the ronclfe presentation of facts in these reports, hound in n single small volume, with tables nnd graphs. Take such n subject ns merchant ma rine. Tim resolutions committee nt Chicago may write n better pjonk on the merchant marine If It knows the farts, if it knows the capacity rtf pri vate capital to absorb the shipping built bv the government, just what the situa tion is with respect to the world's sup ply of shipping, just whnt credit' is svnjlohle for shipping development. With this Information the resolutions inmmittee at Chicago can do somelhiiii: more thnn to say "the Republican. party ha nlvvuys favored n laige merchant marine" nnd a lot of Huff like that. It not only enn do so. but it will he more or less obligated to do so. If it writes n plank inconsistent with the farts as found by its own advisers, the Democrats will take the report of Mr. Mills's committee and will ask the Re publicans how. in 'view of the fact- n founded by their own experts, they can "tarnl upon the plntfoim they hnve adopted. Assemble Fart's. Not Opinions Moreover, theie is another way in which the work of this commit tcpvM gitc. There are now n lot of Republi-J I ans who have beon wot king on theseX: reports. They are familiar with the facts. In the natural couise of things a great mnn of these men will be appointed on the resolutions committee nt Chicago Knch state names one member. It is a ofp bet thnt Mr. Mill', for example, will sit in the committee as the rep retentatlve from New York stnte. If n quarter, or a third, of the reso Irtinus committee is made up of mem bers of the Mills committee, n o1om relation will exist between the work which finished today and the work to be undertaken nt Chicago in June. There are limitations upon the .work that has been done. 'Che ndvlsory com mittee hn4kppt off the big contentious mbjeets. It hns not a word to say on the League of Nations, .Mexico, or prohibi tion.

French Believe Reparations Plan Will Fail Uiilo33"Amorica Co-oporate3 " PLAN TO LIQUIDATE DEBTS Ry tho Associated Press PnrU, May 18, Co-operation by the United Htates is very largely counted upon by nllled circles, particularly by (ho, French, for success of the scheme of liquidation of vvnr debts and repara tions, the principles of which were laid town by Premiers- Lloyd, George and Millcrnnd nt the Ilythe. conference. The viewpoint of Krcneli official cir cles Is thnt the Ocrmnn bond Issue on which the whole plnn rests must largely be nccented br the T'nlled Rtntes In pay ment or French debts or the system will fall. Great Hrltnln's acceptance of these bonds In payment of the debt of France nlso depends upon their acceptance by tlie Tufted States. The principles of the plnn, ns sketched bv the premiers, will be ipferred to Washington, ns well ns to the Allies, for approval, and It Is nrohnble thnt each government consulted will be asked to suggest nny improvements on the plan In order to make It acceptable nil around. It was said today in official circlet that there wns' plenty of room left for suggestions, since the Ilythe conference left nil the details to be worked out by experts. ICven the total nniount of reparations will be open to modifica tion. RJO.OOO.OOO.OOO marks (.JM.OOO, OOn.OOO) being thp maximum. The French appear to accept freely the Idea of linking, tho question of Ger many's economic revlvnl with the ques tion of reparation pnyments, so long ns such a course does not Interfere with the working of a plan for tlie settlement of the interallied debts In a way that will make possible American co-opern-tlon. - , It is lipid that tlie bond Issue pro posed nt Hvthe Is the only prncticnble wny yet offered, nnd the success of that plnn Is conshlnred certain if it is ap proved by Washington.
