REPARATIONS MAY NOT COME BEFORE FRANCE IS OBJECTING In This Case the United States May Not Send a Delegate to the, Genoa Conference, But May Appoint a Representa tive on the Reparations Commission. (By David Lawrence.) (Copyright, 1922, by The Daily -, Times.) Washington, Jan. 19. The United States government has one move left which may make it unnecessary to attend the Genoa conference" and which may make the new Poincare ministry in France see that ulti mately it cannot pursue a single handed policy in handling German reparations." This move is the appointment by President Harding subject to the confirmation of the Senate of an American representative on the Re parations Commission. The prediction was made in offi cial quarters today that the step was inevitable as a consequence of the new declaration by Premier Poincare that France will not go to the Genoa conference unless it is agreed before hand that German reparations will not be discussed. Coming on top of the statement by Poincare that he thinks the Allied Supreme Council no longer necessary, and that be wtmld insist upon a literal return to the provisions of the Versailles treaty, the belief prevails that the French premier will reinvest the Reparations Commission with the mroal influence and importance which it lost when the Supreme Council took the matter of repara tions out of the hands of the Com mission, a move which many French and British critics have ever since characterized as "illegal" in the sense that it violated the Versailles treaty. The truth is the Supreme Council was waiting for America to ratify the Versailles treaty and hesitated to see the reparations commission have too much power. On the other hand, the United States now has ratified its own treaty'with Germany which embraces the economic and reparation clauses of the Versailles treaty and entitles America to a seat on the Reparations Commission. The Senate adopted a reservation re quiring the President to obtain the confirmation of the Senate for any appointment to international com missions provided for under the Ger man treaty. '3J But in viev of the turn of events it is not expected that the Senate would object to the sending of a full-fledged representative to speak for America at the Reparations commis sion meetings to take place of the unofficial observers who have hereto fore attended. The Reparations Commission con sists of representatives of the United States, Great Britain, France, Japan, Italy and Belgium. Unanimous voting j is not necessary. This means that ; an alignment of Great Britain; the j United States, Italy and Japan would j dominate the decisions of the Repar-j ations Commission and leave , the ' Poincare ministry not a bit beter off; with respect to German reparation payments than was the Briand min istry. In fact M. Briand made the point as he retired that a "return to the Versailles treaty would inevit ably mean that France would .be out voted on the reparations commission anyway. The impression prevails here that Great Britain, Italy and the United States would stand together on re- parations matters ana mat jayau more, likely to go along with this group tnan witn me r runcu-DeigKm j viewpoint, mere nas a been a disquieting tenaency on tne( a part of France to neip japan at m Washington conference which may or may not mean that there an I (Continued on .page a i GENOA CONFERENCE PERSHING STANDS BY CAMP BRAGG AS T OPPOSES CAMP BENNING The General Declares Not a' Dollar Could be Saved by Clos ing Down Camp Bragg, Camp Benning Could Not Accommodate the Troops Now Stationed There. Washington, Jan. 20. Abandon ment of Camp Bragg, N. C, and1 transfer of the artillery training to Camp Benning was opposed by Gen-1 eral Pershing today. Suggestion that such an arrangement be concluded was made by Senator Miller of Wash ington in the course of a hearing be fore the military committee. General Pershing in giving his views said he had recommended re- 4A.jn o r li . . r f Lcutiuu ui vjaiuyi crags, imci j.u,- 000 acres and not a dollar would be j saved by closing down the camp and moving to Camp Benning. I "There are not even accommoda-j tions at Benning for troops now sta tioned there," said General Pershing. The committee was told by the chief of staff that "every second lieu tenant should be sent to Camp Ben ning for basic training before being assigned to service with a unit - in any of the various branches of the military organizations."

The Message of Peace Must be Held Until the April Term of Federal Court; the Interna tional Aspect of the Situa tion Causes Mr. Kohloss to Hold the Vessel. Washington, Jan. 20. Federal Prohibition Director . Kohloss of XTfitVi PovAlitia nn fopro1 bapa with , , connection with . the Message of Peace the British ship held at Wil mington. Disposition of the vessel, Mr. Koh loss said, would await the April term of Federal Court in North Carolina. Ordinarily the ' prohibition authori ties would dispose of the. ship within 30 days but because of the interna tional aspect of the situation it was decided to wait until the term of Federal Court. The liquor found aboard amount ing to 999 cases has been stored in a warehouse. ". Return of the ship to its owners under bond was offered Mr. Kohloss said but as the law required a bond double the amount of the value ot the vessel which would have been $10,000 the offer was declined. Prohibition conditions in North Carolina, Mr. Kohloss said were much better, adding that over 200 stills were seized in the state during the past month.' The chief difficulties, along the North and South Carolina coast were rum runners operating in the Bahamas and from Nassau. "If I had a couple of submarine- chasers," said Mr. Kohloss "I could capture more liquor than we would know what to do with." , WEATHER. For North Carolina probably rain tonight and Saturday, somewhat colder, moderate variable winds be coming northeast and east.
