PREMIERS DON'T TELL taken on greater proportions recently, GERMANY HOW TO PAY Foreign Minister Complains That They Only Deal In Fan v tastic Figures STUTGART, Feb. 13. (By the Asso ciated w Press).

The main defect in the Paris pro posals, Dr. Simons contended. lay. in considering, the problem too . much as one of finance and too little as one of production, and complete neglect ' to investigate the effect . on the world's production - of the financial perform ances rq.uired of Germany. . In this connection ' he severely crit icised: the proposed duty on German exports. Declaring- that France - and Belgium- must, not continue to refuse Germany's technical collaboration in restoring the devastated areas, with out themselves being able to solve the problem.' he said;" '"Germany . is .offering unselfish, as sistance. She wishes, neither to found colonies nor to make better, profits." In' conclusion,, the foreign minister said equally disadvantageous was the absence - of American representation in the settlement of the reparations prob lem, and added: v VJf j oir opponents expect an enor mous.' increase, in German exports they khonld be anx'IoiiB.to direct German in- 1 9 ustry. toward ,the-eastern markets in stead -or- towaras weir- v w n, v wuciu, it wdttldt appTtr " in this respect also that tthey l are pursuing 4 a policy of trangulaUin :bylthe ; frustration of Oerntaa,,' economic' -negotiaxioiis with eastern states,, The problem can only be taken efficiently if.

Professor Duan reports that the tube proes to pieces under more than 160.000-volts, but- that a sufficiently high voltasre has been se cured to make the X-rays very nearly as effective for certain medical pur poses as the gamma rays " of radium Uennuu Usbix It . "The Germans, it is said, have made great headway recently with the use of high frequency X-rays lrt alleviat Ing cancer, but -these particular rays have not been used -in America up to this time. "A vast amount' of work has recently been done by Professor Duan in tlie detailed study of X-ray spectre. r Some of this work may prove effective In increasing the medical value of X-ray, but much of it is being done simply with the scientific purpose of getting to know more about the mysterious rays and the laws which govern them "Long continued exposure to X-rays Is ao dangerous to the" operator that the greatest pains have to be taken to protect him from them Jn the Jef' f erson physical laboratory at Harvard. where Professor Duan makes his ex perlments, the X-ray plant Is kept 'n a room by itself and the rays .are sent out through, a minute slit' in the wa!"

APPROACHING SESSION Parliament Opening Tuesday ;May Decide Fate of Coali tion, Regime ' IT IS UNDER FIRE Financial Scheme and Alleged Wastefulness Bitterly Attacked . LONDON, Feb. 13. (By Associated Press.) King George, accompanied by Queen Mary, the prince of Wales and the duke of York, at nooa Tuesday, will open a session of parliament which promises to be a test of contin uance of the coalition party of Pre mier Lloyd George. ; Constructive measures which, head the program include the. new budget schemes of protection to safeguard key industries against foreign competition and to prevent the dumping of for-' eign goods, and also for labor condi tions, a plan for the .relief of the un- """"T'"' puouc wotch; new. drinkregulations,' creating of Irish Darliamentn iindr ,ia bill, and reform .the house, of lords.

Parliament will meet w.ith the two Cecils, Lord Robert and Lord Hugh, who are representatives of a family which for generations has been a pil lar of British, conservatism, -formally aligned with the liberal opposition. Viscount Grey in the lords and Lord Robert Cecil in the commons, will be the spokesmen and ' supports' for the league of nations.
