(BY DAVID LAWRENCE IN NEWS AND OBSERVER.) Washington, May 13.?For more than a year Washington has waited patiently for just what has happened in France in the last. twenty-four hours. A charge free. the uncom promising nationalism of Raymond i Poincare to the flexibility of a new administration unembarrassed' by the committments of its predecessors. The evacuation of the Ruhr, long advocated by the United States gov ernment, and now the big stumbling block to the effective operation of the Dawes-Young Reparation settle ment, may be agreed to by the new administration in France as a means of getting: funds immediately. The radicals came into power in the Fren ch elections on promises to obtain the money needed to reconstruct the re mainder of the devastated regions. An international loan together with the application of the Dawes-Young plan would give Franeew new ftnan ual drop m the franc helped material ly to soften the Poincare attitude but the rise of a labor ministry in-Great Britain, together with the insistence of til the Allied experts that the Ruhr should be evacuated to make Germany a single economfc unit has brought about an important change in the whole situation and' it .'is felt here that a new Premier in France will be able to deal with the other Allies in a much more accommodating way than would Raymond Poincare had he been continued in power. Isolation has in a sense been de feated in France. If, as reported, Artidtide Briand, six times Premier of France, takes hold once more, an international conference of the Allies may be looked for. It was he who was overthrown just at the moment when an Inter-Allied agipptiiut seem ed possible. The policy nbadvocated then h?y? been vindicated*' He saw the need of making concessions to the othef Allies in order to get an agree ment on reparations. He was not as intransigeant as his successor, M. Poincare. In fact the deadlock of the last year has been attributed solely to the nationalistic conceptions and stubboness of ^Pioncare. The policy of Edouard Herriet, the Radical lead er, if chosen Premier, would no doubt fellow the issues influenced the French result, Braind policy. While- no doubt internal political issues influenced the French result, fljMe' is no doubt that externally the sittprtion is looked upon as having been greatly improved by the change of ministry. The Radicals in France are probably as eager as tb* Labor ites in Great Britain for a better un derstanding with Russia as well at tiaemany.

Reports of Commission Look ing into State's Water FaciL ities und Conditions May Re port Some Time This Week. - Raleigh, N. C., May 14.?The Ship j and Water Transportation Commis sion will present its report to/Gover nor Morrison within a week, accord ing to the best available information on the subject and that report will be everything that the Governor could wish, according to the same sources of information. That means simply that within a week, the public will have for its consideration the detailed report of the findings and recommendations of' the committee appointed to investi gate the feasibility of introducing water competition into North Carolina as a leveller of freight rate barriers. Briefy the report it is understood, will recommend the development of port facilities under the direction of a commission with authority to negot iate with private interests for the use of such ports in a regular steamship service, and with power, also to se cure by lease or otherwise steamships for operation by the State itself in the event private interests will not avail themselves of the opportunity presented. Governor Morrison, it is safe to say, wants more than any one thing left in his administration to put that boat line idea into operation. State oper ation of steamship, in the Governor's plan, is the alternative scheme to Be turned toonly in the event that priv ate interests will not utilize the port facilities. The assurance is that he will find the report of the commission every bit to his liking. The next step remains to be seen. There are those who boldy fore-cast a special session of. the legislature.

Washington, May 15.?The soldier bonus bill was vetoed by President - Coolidge today on the grounds that it was economically unsound and mor ally unjust. Returned, unsigned, to the house, where the legilation origi nated, the measure was immediately taken up by its friends in an effort to over-ride the executive action, and only the counsel of leaders of both parties obtained a postponement of a veto until Saturday. The President, in his yito message, a document of more than 2,000 words declares he could see no justification for enactment of the bill into law, and added: "Qur country cannot afford it.

The executive asserted that the dis abled veterans were being giv n treat ment, and that insurance already had been provided for.all veterans. "We have no money to bestow upon a class of people that is not taken for the whole, people," he said. "Our first concern must be the notion as a whole.
