Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secre tary of commerce, said there was an annual waste of eight to ten billion dollars in the conduct of business in the country, and declared "There is ample reason to believe that the Mhoct sinele percentage of this waste arises in the field of distribu tion." Reply to U. S. Can Make or Wreck Plans Unless France Accepts Proposal of U. S., Reparations Session Face New Crisis Paris. May 5. France within 48 hours will speak the word which will determine whether the so-cauea American plan for the settlement of the reparations controversy will tri umph over European animosities. The word will be spoken by tne French republic's outstanding finan cial giant, Emile Moreau, governor of the Bank of France and senior dele- Kate to the experts committee and mayor of his home town where Sun day he has been participating in the municipal election. Even as Dr. Schacht of Germany, was the center of interest a few days ago, Sunday night all attention Is centered on the strong - minaea French financier who holds the fate of the conference in his hands. Up to France. With Belgium certain to follow the French lead, it remains to be seen whether France will accept the American project which is already generally approved, or precipitate a new crisis almost certain to wreck the conference. From the French viewpoint the problem is that witlj the American capital figure at 9,000.000,000 al most one billion below the allied de mands France must make the prin cipal sacrifice. Strange as it may seem to Americans at home, all the reparations calculations here start with the basis that roughly speak ing, $6,000,000,000 df Germany's payments belong primarily to the United States. It is Europe's way of shouldering onto Uncle Sam the blame for mak ing Germany pay. Plan to Soak Germany. "With this from the American standpoint a false premise, Europe calculates what it can soak Germany in addition as "war damages." Thus on thebasis of $10,000,000,000 from Germany Europe calculated $4,000,- 000,000 as reparations, but under Owen D. Young's $9,000,000,000 ag gregate the reparations are cut to $3,000,000,000. France, instead of getting $2,000,- 000,000 out of the $4,000,000,000, would receive about $TOO,000,000 less. At the same time, however, al though the French always ignore this in calculating benefits, France would receive from Germany enough to pay its debts both to the United States and England. But as the French politicians have always told the people Germany would pay these debts, it is difficult at the present stage of the proceed ings to claim any particular credit for compelling the reich to come across.

Tuttle, United States attorney, is determined that if any persons testified falsely at the federal inquiry here into the Vestris disaster he will attempt to bring them to justice in the United States court.

Need Only 1 Senator to Pass Bounty Forces Scurry to Pair Gfi Opposing Sides; Vote Probably on Wednesday Washington, May C. The ability to win over one doubtful senator and to obtain a pair, or non-voting ar rangement, for an absentee, was all that stood between victory and do feat Monday for the advocates of the export debenture plan opposed by President Hoover as a part of his farm relief program. This calculation, based upon checks of the senate membership by both administration supporters and the debenture group, presupposed that all members not paired would be present for the vote and would cast their ballot as expected. : The checks showed a coalition of almost all the democrats with 12 republican independents standing against the administration group, which is seeking to eliminate the ; debenture section. While the checks ' stood at 4G to 4f against them with j one senator considered doubtful and one still not paired, advocates of the j debenture plan professed confidence that they would gain in strength lather than lose within the next two days. Vote Wednesday. The debenture section will be voted upon probably late Wednesdav. An agreement was reached to limit further debate on the proposal after 2 p. m., Wednesday, and under the usual procedure a vote generally is j taken within a few hours after the ; limitation goes into effect. A final vote on the farm bill itself, however, probably will not be reached until late this week or perhaps next Mon day. i Senator Walsh (D.) Massachusetts, announced Monday that he was "in clined" to accede to a request for him to pair with Senator Shipstead (F.-L.). Minnesota, on the debenture vote. Such an arrangement would narrow further the contest between the administration forces and the democratic - republican independent groups. Shipstead is ill in a Baltimore hos pital, and the Massachusetts senator who otherwise would vote with the administration on the deLenture plan saiQ njs inclination to agree to the pajr arrangement was motivated by regret to see any senator lose his vote.

Should a pair be obtained for Sen ator Kendrick, the vote would stand. 45 to 45, giving the doubtful senator the power of decision one way or an other, providing all members not paired cast their vote. Should the Kendrick pair be obtained but the doubtful senator refrain from vot ing, the result would be a tie for Vice President Curtis to break. Meanwhile, the debate was car ried forward by Senator Barkley (D.) Kentuciiyf who declared that if tin deDenture proposal was called a sub he fiei)Pntv,re provision would be of less assjstance to the farmers, neexews. -Omaha DOG FINDS OLD MASTEHS Cedar Bluffs, Neb.
