Washington, Aug. 1.—Just as soon
«s the issue between France and
Britain takes a definite turn, as seems
probable this week, the internal con
dition of Germany will enter simul
taneously on a new phase. Assuming
that the outcome of the relations be
tween France and Britain is that the
two countries are not. going to agree,
and assuming that the new internal
phase in Germany will point toward
the breakup of the empire, there will
ihen follow a new phase'of internal
French politics and especially of
French finance.
If the next stage of Germany
points toward internal dissolution, it
will follow necessarily that neither
France nor any other country will
be able to get much money out of the
disrupted empire. France may at
tempt to salvage something in the
way of tangible property, out of hold
ing on to mines and factories in the
Ruhr. This, however, will be a doubt
ful asset, for it is almost certain that
the working population in the Ruhr
will attempt a communistic experi
ment of taking over these properties
themselves.
If it should become clear that
France is not likely to get much rep
arations, it will be interesting to see
what will be the psychology of the
French people. It may readily turn
out that the French people will not
care mueb.
Have Two Alternatives.
The French have always had two
alternative purposes, or at least two
alternative wishes, in the occupation
of the Ruhr and in their attitude
toward Germany generally. The first
purpose was to get money. There
tan be no doubt that this was the
actual intention of the French people
when the Ruhr was first occupied.
Home of the French military leaders
tnay have had a different motive. But
the French people were tired of wait
ing for the reparations money and
wanted to get It at once. When the
^ i i ** ' lerman government adopted what is
now generally accepted as the unde
sirable policy of making it difficult
for the French to collect reparations,
it wus seen that an alternative out
come of the Ruhr occupation might
be the breakup of Germany.
With the second of these purposes
the French people may he as well
satisfied as with the first. They
wanted their reparations money and
they went after It. But if the ulti
mate outcome should be not money
but the breakup of Germany, that re
sult would be in some respects even
more satisfactory to the French.
The breakup of Germany would
mean the end of that empire as a mil
itary menace for a prolonged period,
perhaps forever. That would give
the French peace of mind and would
enable them to reduce their military
expenditures. At the same time, any

Grain Exporters’ Views Differ
From Oinahans’ on Reduc
tion Proposal, Gorman
Says in Reply.
Committee to Carry On
The reply of the executives of 17
railroads operating in grain-growing
states, to a request for a reduction
of 25 per cent in export wheat rates,
has been relased from Chicago. The
reply to the Omaha committee of the
Chamber of Commerce and the Omaha
Grain exchange was forwarded by
J. E. Gorman, president of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail
road, who presided at the conference
of railway executives Slonday.
The letter was received by the
Chamber of Commerce committee
Tuesday morning, but the committee
decided not to release the letter here
until a reply had been prepared.
The special committee will meet this
noon at the Chamber of Commerce.
The refusal to grant the reduction of
export rates will not be the last word
so far as the Omaha committee is
concerned.
The letter written by President
Gorman and read Tuesday noon to
the Omaha committee follows:
Carefully Considered.
The question lias since the re
ceipt of your advices dated duly
25, received careful consideration
at the hands of the carriers, there
being a full realization of the very
great importance of the subject.
Canvass, however, of the matter
among the grain exporting trade,
develops quite a difference of views
as compared with those which have
been expressed by yourself.
Various experienced and well
posted grain dealers take the posi
tion that if the proposed reduc
tion in American rail rates were
actually accomplished, as predicted
thereupon, lower quotations than
otherwise would have been made
and appear at-road, and those re
duced quotations would lie Im
mediately met by corresponding
quotations from Argentina, Canada
and other countries who possess an
exportable surplus of wheat, grown
on cheaper lands and with cheaper
labor than is obtainable In the
United States.
Under these conditions we are in
formed that the effect of the pro
posed reduction will be to decrease
the revenue of the American car
riers. which decreases will be
absorbed by the European dealer
or consumer, wliirh of course,
would not stimulate the movement
abroad of American wheat, which,
otherwise would take place.
Karnings Fall Off.
Since the passage of the trans
portation act of 1920, tlie carriers
In the western group have earned
far below the rate of return con
tained by the law. Thu* the actual
rate of return lias been for the
year 1921, 3.59 per cent; for the
year. 1922, 4.03 per rent; first five
months of 1923, 3 * per cent.
Under these conditions, the feel
ing was generally entertained at to
day's meeting that the western
carriers were not in position to
stand the heavy reduction of 25
per cent on export w'heat and flour
as It Is proposed by your commit
tee, and especially since the results
flowing therefrom, according to our
liest information, appear to be
problematical.
Moreover, if this reduction were
made In the rales of wheat and
flour, for export, it would undoubted
ly rail for corresponding reductions
in the rates for export on coarse
grain and products, if not In tlie
rate* on domestic grain and prod
ucts and also, judging the future
by the past, It might be difficult to
limit the reductions by making them
expire with January 30, 1924.

British Premier Would Nego
tiate War Settlement Direet
With Berlin — Cabinet
Discusses Problem.
By I'nlxerMl Seri ice.
London, Aug. 1.—The eve of the
partiamentary recess finds the govern
ment in the throes of an ominous
crisis forced by Premier Poincare's
peremptory refusal to consider any
proposal by Great Britain for a solu
tion, not only of the German repara
tions question, but other problems
growing out of the world war.
As the result of four months of
fruitless negotiations. Premier Bald
win and Foreign Minister Lord Cur
7.011, having exhausted every effort to
preserve the badly shattered entente,
will be forced tomorrow to ask the
support of parliament to conduct
negotiations direct with Berlin for a
complete settlement.
The cabinet tonight held its fourth
session in 48 hours and will meet
again tomorrow just before the prime
minister enters the house to make
his fateful statement.
It is learned that when the die is
cast, Premier* Mussolini, ti hose over
tures to France for a compromise
were also curtly rejected, will line up
Italy behind Great Britain.
It is only a question of a short time
when Belgium, pro-British at heart,
and held in her alliance with France
through fear, will follow the dictates
of her heart, leaving France isolated.
The Belgian ambassador still is
making despairing efforts to prevent
an open break between France and
England, but his only chance of suc
cess rests upon a last minute sur
render by Poincare.
This outcome seems impossible, be
cause, having educated France to
the belief that Great Britain finally
would give in, the French premier
knows sucli surrender would mean the
end of his own political life.

liiiHsekloi-r. Aug. I The effects of
the fall of the mark are beginning to

Court Holds No

Decision Means Political Pris

B* .btorltlwl rrm.
Dublin, Aug. 1.—A state of war I
does not exist in Ireland, the court I
of appeals decided today, in giving
its judgment in the case of Mrs. Noia^
Connolly O’Brien, reversing the]
opinion of the master of the rolls of!
the chancellory division, who held
that civil war did exist in Ireland
on June 15.
Today's decision was looked for
ward to with great interest and its
announcement caused much excite
ment as It governs the position of
thousands of prisoners held by the
government under the plea of mili
tary necessity.
The attorney general made stren
ous efforts to convince the court
that the rebellion was not over and
might break out again but the court
was emphatic and Its decision that a
state of war does not exist and that
the government has no authority to
deny its citizens the privileges of a
writ of habeas corpus.
Despite his decision, it is regarded
aa unlikely that there will he any
general release of prisoners as the
government, anticipating the court's
decision, has passed through almost
ail the stages in the dali and senate
a bill legully authorizing It to con
tinue imprisonments ami other re
pressive measures for three month*.
The court made a writ of habens!
corpus, sought by Mrs. O'Brien'* at
torney, returnable tomorrow. Hhe has
been in prison for some time.

plete recovery—a task that will re
quire an Indefinite number of days,
most of which will be epent here tn
San Francisco. The headquarters,
hurriedly established here last Sun
day morning, were altered In some
respects to promote efficiency and so
that there may be the same smooth

White house in Washington.
Little Nourishment Taken
The amount of nourishment liken
by the chief executiie during th. day
still was email, but as one of the
physicians said, ‘'quite sufficient.” It
continued to consist of milk, soft
boiled eggs, a little toast and fruit
juices. Elimination was satisfactory
and for the first time was desoribat*^^^
aa "regular.”
Another indication of p-ogress
that he received his first visitor tn
tvo days. Mrs. E. E. Jtemsberg of
Santa Ana. Cal., his sister. She.with
her daughters. Katherine and Nell
Marie, arrived in San Francisco early
in the day, and shortly before noon
she spent set oral minutes in her
brother's room, but was requested by
the physicians not to talk with him.
as It might tire him she said there
was every indication that the presi
dent had been "a very sick man.” At
the request of Mrs. Harding, she and
her daughters took quarters in the
hotel and we,e the guesta of Mrs,
Harding at luncheon. Mrs. Harding,
Mrs. Remsberg said, had stood the
strain very well. It was learned from
other sources that Brigadier General
Sawyer. the president a personal
physician, and Lieut. Com. Joel T.
Boone, assistant to Pr. Sawyer, are
not unmindful that with the lessen
ing of the strain reactive effects of
the president's Illness might be felt
by Mr*. Harding, who for the last
year has been far from normal
health.
Daugherty at Hotel.
Attorney General Paugherty also
arrived during the day. haring hur
ried here from Seattle when the preai
dent's Illness became alarming, H*

suite and although perhaps c'.o«tr to
the chief executive than any person
in San Francisco, excepting memhe s
of Mr. Hardings family, he did not
see the president. He took rooms at
another hotel. a« he has a number
of matters of official business to take
care of. but will call frequently to

president.
Fiat * f,-r the future, following t e
restoration of the president's strength,

bers of th* party, and the plan seem
ingly moat favored at this stag* is .
for a return to Washington by what
Is commonly known as th* overland
route. In auch an event the presi
dential train would make no attempt
at speed, would run on a schedule
Hit would take It through heated
valleys and across the desert during
th* cool hours of the night so far a*
possible, and at other times stop for
th* night, so that the rest of th*
president might not be disturbed
There wa» no attempt to fix any
date for departure from San Fran
