ENGLAND AND FRANCE APPROVE WILSON PLAN [Continued froijj Mrst Pago.] trary, an earnest desire i- shown that the mandatory powers shall not be hampered in the least In the admin istration of the colonies. Acceptance of the new principle is construed as applying not only to tho colonies, but also as the estab lishment of a precedent of tho fair dealing which will prevail when the large territorial questions come up for decision later. Owing to the important decision reached, the following precise infor mation concerning the mandatory plan was made inevitable: Three broad proposals for the disposition of the German colonies were ad vanced. The first proposed P.nncx.t- UOn, much as the Pacific Northwest was annexted as American territory. The second proposed international administration, similar to the first international control of the Congo, which proved a failure, as did simi lar systems in Albania and Morocco. The third proposal was the manda tory system which was included In the American plan for a league of nations. * Tvo Ceneeptlnns of J'lnn There are two ccnceptions of this mandatory system now under exam ination. One plan makes the league of nations trustee of the colonies working through particular states as its agent, but reserving detailed powers of oversight. The second is that the trustee shall be ono of the members of the league of nations and working for jugt administration. Certa'n military principles obtain concerning the mandatory system. The state chosen as a mandate should be chosen as the the peo ple to be governed. Another prin ciple is the open door and equal op portunity. All nations are forbidden to have a greater military force than Is required for police work, and all have the light of appeal to the lcagua concerning any injustice. Opinion inclines also to %ive the mandate in perpetuity In order to stimulate development, but with the reservation that th e mandate Is re vocable for misgovernment or through the people reaching the stage i of self-government. These are the main features of the mandatory system, which the Pow- I era now have, accepted In principle ' and which the great Powers are en- I gaged in formulating the practical i details. j Official Report The official communication on tho peace proceedings yesterday reads: ', "The President of the United States, i the prime ministers and ministers of; foreign affairs of the Allied and as- [ soclated Powers, as well as the Jan- i ft nose representatives, to-day held tw > , meetings at the Quai D'Orsay, tho first from It A.

WAR EXPENSES REMAIN HIGH; LOANS LOWER Presentation of Bills For Com pleted Material Cause of Situation By Associated Press , Washington, Jan. 31. —Although nearly three .months have passed since the signing of the urtnlstice, the American government's war ex penses show no signs of dcreasing materially, except in loans to Al lies. In January the treasury paid out about $1,600,000,000 for ordinary war expenses, exclusive of allied loans, or only $70,000,000 less than in December, $55,000,000 less than in November and considerably more than in any month theretofore. Officials explained that this was not to be taken as indication that production of war materials is con tinuing at the tremendous rate of several months ago. Manufacturers now are presenting their hills and receiving payment for materials de livered long ago, however, and this keeps up expenses. British Cabinet Meets to Discuss Labor Troubles By Associated Press IXMHIOII, Jan. 31.—The cabinet met yesterday to discuss the labor trou bles. It is understood that the min isters decided against intervening at present in the strikes, on the ground that they have not been authorized by the trade unionists and that, therefore, intervention would be un wise. It is the view of tho ministers that the men, in the absence of the usual strike pay, ure not likely long to keep up the movebent, and that the government, therefore, should confine its action to preserving or der. At the meeting the ministers dis cussed a telegram received from the provost of Glasgow, containing the request of the strikers for the gov ernment to intervene to secure for them a forty-hour week. Andrew Bonar Law, Lord Privy Seal, on be half of Premier Lloyd George, sent a reply to the provost declining to 1 intervene. SALARY KAISER COMPLETE By Associated Press Washington, Jan. 31.—Legislation to increase the salaries of federal district judges to $7,600 a year and circuit judges to $8,500 a year, was completed and sent to the White House with the adoption of a con ference report by the Senate. United States stands sponsor for the scheme. The American plan is to occupy a receptive position, favoring such portions of the different projects ad vanced as seem desirable, though it appears to be accepted that the basic plan will be that which was framed by Lord Robert Cecil and is to be proposed by Tremter Lloyd George. An effort is being made to hurry the consideration of the league of na tions plan of organization by the special committee of the conference, but it is not expected that the com mittee will be ready to report at tile next plenary session of the peace making body. British Are Matching London, Jan. 30.—Tho discussions of the Paris conference regarding the future of the former German colonies Is being followed with intense inter est hiye. In some sections of the press there is a strong feeling against the British delegation foi what the Globe calls "giving away the empire." A great majority of Englishmen, the paper says, strongly support Australia's claim to the islands of the Pacific and South Af rica's for possession of German East Africa. Indications that the claims of the dominions are not being supported by the Blitish government delegation have caused some alarm. The Morn ing Post, for example, says: "If the British delegates weakly persist in this attitude they are not only surrendering the British Inter ests entrusted to them, but they are s.-wing the seeds of such bitter dis content as might disunite and dis rupt the British empire." Opposition Is Strong The Pall Mall Gazette says it ,s distinctly unfortunate that the rea sons advanced for President Wilson's policy nr e not fully expounded so "we can see how far Ihcy counterbal ance its somewhat obvious draw backs." Tho Standard opposes th# manda tory scheme for the Pacific islands and German Southwest A*frics, sny- Ing the islands nre necessary to safe guard Australia and South Africa. It adds Unit Australia is ag much In terested in the Pacific islands as the United States was in the Hawaiian la-, lands when she ".heci. SEVEN-CENT DROP IN BUTTER PRICE Philadelphia Produce Market Sliows Further Break Philadolttliin, Jitn. 31.—Butter prices yesterday recorded a seven cent break, droppln to 58 cents, and indications are said to favor a further decline. Heavy holdings be ing forced , on the market through the breaking of the European prices under Australian shipments, dealers say, is the cause directly back of the big decline that started more than a week ago. Although the slump in the butter price to consumers was effective be fore no >on, the egg market remained fairly *firm until price-shading started in the afternoon. Prices continued to vary in different sec tions. sold anywhere from 48 cents to 65 cents a dozen. It is said, however, that cheaper eggs are ine vitable and that the drop in price will be continuous until the normal retail price, reguluted by supply and demand, is reached. Meat deulers here yesterday in sisted thut tlie retail price of meat is the result of a quiet combination among the merchants to continue the high-rice average. Middlemen said that it explained the attitude of the packers as expressed by the Wg men in the trade in Washington this week, who, according to the local dealers, have fullen in with the government's demands and may be expected to take advantage of the situation created by the retail dealers ot establish, under govern ment supervision, chain meat mar kets in all of hte larger cities. Packers Urging Decrease According to lhformation reach ing here in meat trade circles, the packers kre urging a decline in meat prices, but have been unable to secure the co-operation of the retail dealers artd co-operation of the re tail dealers and this will be used by the big interests to induce the gov ernment to authorize a chain of re tail meat markets operated by the packers. • Locally the purpose of the pack c*"s > 1S said, will be to eliminate the wholesale meat dealers, which in turn would result In the elimina tion of the smaller retail dealers to establish, under government su pervision, chai nnreat markets in all of the larger cities.
