Pul Exports* Plan in Effect at Once, Macdonald Savs 0 HritUlt Premier Al»n AHvo* rale* Admitting Germany Into T-ragne of Natoni. Ilf AmwIrIH ftHt. York. England, April 19 —Taka the reparation expert*’ report »* * whole and put It Into operation all at once, with everybody bark of It, waa the course advocated by Prim# Minister Macdonald In addressing a crowded labor meeting In th* Theater ltoyal hera today, lie urged that the allies accept Germany's word and advocated Its admission to the league of natlona as another mtep for bringing peace to the continent. In urging unity among the allies In applying the plan outlined by tlie re port, Mr. Macdonald said It was clear from that document that If they went nn for another two yeara and carried out the policy that had been practiced for two or three years past, there would be no hope of relief, no hope of reparation and none for security or peace. To take the chance that now -,va* offered and put the plan Into operation as a whole and then “go on and finish th# Job and bring peace and aecurity to the continent." was what he cared about and what he waa going to work for. Peace of Europe. By letting Germany Join the league of nation* they could complete the organization upon which he would like to found the future peace of Europe. The premier aald the chairman of the meeting had frequently used the word "socialist.” "He Is a very rash man," comment ed the premier, "Does he not know that one of the few remaining hob gobhllns of our youth la the word 'socialist?' We have departed, near ly all of us now. from those delightful faiths which made u* afraid to go out at night, and Mr. Churchill alone I* striving to adapt Hans Andersen's story to th# intelligence and require ments of gray-headed or held headed adults." To AtoM Election. The premier said he believed It was his duty to carry on th# government and keep off a general election which nobody wanted. He saw no reason why there should be a general elec tion for two or three year*. It would taka at least that time, he added, to put Europe on a peaceful footing and get Industrial relation* established In anything like a normal way. He regarded th# rise of an extreme nationalism in Germany aa a very great menace—dangerous to Europe and deplorable for Germany aa well The policy of the allies, he said, was largely responsible for this rise of th# German nationalist movement. He urged that tha allies' attitude should be to accept Germany's word, snd h# pointed out that the greatest danger Germany offered to Europe now waa not| the danger of arm*, but the danger of Industrial deterioration. "Human Government.” Mr. MacdonaM described hi* gov ernment as "a human government, a government that has made mistakes and 1* going to make mlatake*. "But," he went on, "It Is a govern ment that consldera first and foremost how It ran help undistinguished, orderly, hoping, striving men, women and children with human souls snd with an appreciation of human duly and human rights.” BOARD AGREES ON 32 AWARDS Washington, April 19.~The mixed claim* commission today mad# pub lic n ll*t of 32 award* agreed upon by th# American commlealoner, Chan dler P.
