(Associate^, Press Dispatch.)
NEW YORK, April 28.—Postmas-
ter General Hays, in an address
today at the annual luncheon
of the American Newspaper Publish-
ers' association, outlined the attitude
of his department toward the pTess.
"First," ho said, "It Is no part of
the primary business of the postoffice
department to act as a censor of the
press.
"Second, we are going to get along
together and do the right thing in all
these matters, of classification, rates,
etc., and I want it distinctly under-
stoon there will never be any occasion
when a publisher with any kind of
u grievance is not thrice Welcome to
sit down with the head of the depart-
ment and work It out."
He promised to give the question of
second class malls his closest atten-
tion, saying that the ono unpardon-
able sin of the postoffice is not to de-
liver the daily newspaper on time.
"The newspaper is preeminently a
thing which a man wants when lie
wants It and if ha can't have it when
lie wants it, ho doesn't want it at ail,"
lie said.
"We all know that the newspapers
go to press on time, that tlyy get off
the press on time, that they are de-
livered to the postoffice on time.
Therefore, if they do not reach their
subscribers on time the fault lies not
with the publishers, but with the post-
offlco department.
"And gentrally speaking that's so.
I'm not going to dod^o the responsi-
bility."
Mr. Hays brought a personal mes-
sage from President Harding, The
president told him yesterday, ho said,
to tell the publishers "we expect your
help in bringing this republic and its
varied Interests into tho straightfor-
ward track again." N
Mr. Hays told tlie-publishers he was
determined to put the entire postal
service on a purely business basis—"so
serviceable and sound that no political
party will ever again dare attempt to
Ignore or evade ^ultimately."
He said that honest service would
bo honestly recognized in the depart-
ment and recounted steps that have
been taken to facilitate, foreign and
airplane mall. Now that arrange-
ments have been made for sending
mail to soviet Russia, lie said, the
foreign mail service Is again at nor-
malcy.
As an adjunct to the campaign for
Increasing trade between the United
h'tates and South America, Mr. Hays
said international money orders may
now be exchanged with many of the
(South and Central American coun-
tries.
"It Is expected," he said, "that very
soon it will be possible for American
exporters to receive payment for their
Roods wherever shipped in South
America by postal money orders pay-
able in dollars at their local postof-
fice."
Mr. Hays emphasized his recent an-
nouncement that ho was determined
io wipe out mail robberies. He de-
clared the loss of more than $6,000,-
uOO In thlrty-threo njajor robberies
last year to be an Intolerable situa-
tion.
"We assume that the mail Is the ono
most Inviolate thing In tho country,
and it must be kept so," he said.

Warsaw, April 28:—Members of the

vlki intend to return to the United
States immediately after being demo-

British Miners
Reject Offer to
Settle Strikes
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
London, April 28.—The miners' fed-
eration today rejected the govern-
ment's new offer, looking to a settle-
ment of tho coal strike, Increasing the
temporary subsidy to the industry
from £7,BOD,000 to £10.000.000.
' The rejection was by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
This temporary subsidy the govern-
ment has offered for the transitional
period of four months, so that the re-
ductions in the wages of miners
should not amount to more than three
shillings a day.
Today marked the end of the fourth
of the stoppage of coal mining
Viviani Pleased With Results
of His Visit to United States
(Associated Press DIspntch.>
Paris, France, April 28.—Rene Viviani, France's spe-
cial envoy to the United States, spoke most optimistically
of the future of Franco-AnTSWcan relations in Interviews
with Paris newspaper men, printed in this
morning's newspapers, following his return
yesterday from America. "I bring back
more than the hope, the certainty, of tbe
very early collaboration of France and
America both on diplomatic and financial
ground," the ex-premier is quoted as saying.
The sympathies of the immense majority
of the Americans were whole-heartedly
with the French, he said, but this sympathy
made itself apparent in differtnt ways in
various parts of America. The United
States, he explained, could not be judged as
whole, as the manner of seeing differed
in the various cities and states of the
m. viviani American union.
"There is no reason for fearing that the dispute be-
tween the United States and Japan over th.e island of
Yap will be settled otherwise than by peaceful means,"
the Paris edition of the London Daily Mail quotes M.
iviani as declaring. "I am confident," he added, "that I
?tm bringing a plan for the reorganization of Franco-
American co-operation."

Paris, April 28.—"The German
propositions are absolutely unaccept-
able- and made under such conditions
as to justify us in doubting Germany's
good faith," Premier Briand declared
to press correspondents here this eve-
ning. He added: "The presence of
Americans in our councils would help
immensely in settlement of many
questions.
"The German government is unable
to rid itself of the reactionary element
that dominates its policy. Well, we
are going to help them get rid of
that element and we are going to do
it in the right manner."

Berlin, April 28.—Tne departure
from Berlin of I^ord D'Abernon, the

conference with the government at
London is regarded as an indication
Of hopefulness that the reparations
situation may be adjusted on the
basis of the German proposals.
It is'pointed out in this connection
that tho Germans are virtually
pledged to accept any decision ren-
dered by President Harding and the
Germans are ttnxiousiy waiting to
learn whether the allied powers will
inform the president on what points
the German proposals are unaccept-
able.

0<M> GERMANS MUST ANSWER FOR
ATROCITIES COMMITTED IN
THE WOLRD WAR.
* Paris, April 28.—The next devel-
opment concerning reparations is ex-
ited to occur in London on Satur-
day when the supreme council meets
there.
American participation in the Ijon-
don deliberations Is hoped for in
foreign circles, where it is stated that
an invitation will be sent to Wash-
ington to have a representative of the
United States present.
In the supreme council meeting
the French case will be presented first
with details of Germany's defaults in
th<> execution of the treaty of Ver-
sailles.
The German failure to pay the bal-
ance of twelve billion marks on her
twenty billion debt due May 1. her
failure to bring to trial officers ac-
cused of war crimes, and her resist-
ance to the proposed methods for
payment of indemnities will be set
forth as justifying further penalties
and the taking of further pledges.
After .this tho German proposals
just submitted to Washington will be
taken up. France will insist that
nothing short of an actual beginning
of the fulfillment of Germany's obli-
gations should alleviate pressure by
tho allies.

Berlin, April 28.—Nine hundred*
Uermans whose punishment has been
demanded by the entente for crimes
committed during the war will face
trial at Lelpsic beginning May 23.
Seven judgts will sit as the court and
will first hoiar witnesses against
minor offenders on a supplemental
list.
The trials of Non-Commissioned
Officer Heine, charged with abusing
British prisoners; Captain Mueller,
pomirmnder at the prison camp at
Flavy-le-Martel, and Private Neu-
mann who is alleged to have maltreat-
ed prisoners at the prison camp at
Pommerensorf, will be the first to
be tried. Captain Neumann, com-
mander of U boat 67, which sank the
hospital ship Dover Castle, will be
arraigned sometime in June. Forty -
soven witnesses have been called
from England to testify in tho first
three cases,
Tho minister of Justice in explain-
ing arrangements for the trials de-
clared yesterday:
"Only men charged with the com-
mission of specific crimes will be tried
at first. We have made every pos-
sible effort to insure fair and impar-
tial healings, but are greatly handi-
capped by the fact that the alleged
crimes were committed from 5 to 7
years ago. The witnesses are scat-
tered and some of the accused have
left Germany, several being dead.
British, French and Belgian govern-
ments will have representatives at
the trial but Germany will conduct
the prosecution and the defense. I
am able to declare postltlvely that
political and other undesirable Inter-
ests will not be allowed to Influence
tile proceeding!.''
Washington, April 2S.—Diplomatic
representatives of three allied powers,
Great Britain, France and Belgium,
transmitted today to Secretary Hughes
the views of their governments with
respect to Germany's reparations pro-
posals.
Official announcement was with-
held, but it was understood that the
secretary of state was informed that
the German offer in its present form
was unacceptable. Whether any sug-
gestions were made that Germany be
asked to put forward new and more
-liberal terms was not disclosed.
It was emphasized officially, how-
ever, that the chief questions at Issue
was not whether the proposals as such
were acceptable to the allied govern-
ments, but whether they could be re-
garded as the basis for renewed dis-
cussions from which satisfactory terms
might eventuate.

IS ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN
GETTING A RJEJTER LINE-UP
ON FARMERS' NEEDS.
DETAIL PRICES 180 HIGH
Federal Banks Have No Specific Plans
to Relieve Farmers, But Develop-
ment of Market Necessary—Cannot
Lend Money to Producers—Cut In
Cotton Crop—Largo Carry Over.
(Associated Praia Dispatch.)
Washington, April 28.—Governor
Harding of the Federal Reserve board
announced today that he would begin
next week a personal survey of the
farm credit situation in- the middle-
west and southwest.
Very shortly after the mid-May
meeting of the Federal Reserve gov-
ernors Mr. Harding 'will leave Wash-
ington for Kansas City, Topeka, Nash-
ville, Oklahoma City and other locali-
ties.
The board, Governor Harding said,
had thought it advisable that he make
a tour of the farming area so as to
learn at first hand the problems of
the country bankers and trade organ-
izations. The real crux of the farm-
ers' problem, in the view of Mr.
Harding, is the foreign situation. The
farmers, he said, must have a mar-
ket for their commodities as they can
not go on indefinitely on credit with-
out selling their crops. He thought
the reduction of tho rediscount rate
by the Bank of England might aid
American farmers by making )o«silile
a more liberal market for jrain end
cotton, not only in Great Britain, but
in other European countries.
Inequalities in price readjustment
as between the wholesaler ami retail-
er and the transportation situation
also were described by Mr. Harding as
contributing causes to the [.resent
agricultural situation. Cessation of
building also has been felt and it was
the governor's view that a resumption
of building would result in n general
easing of expenses, including high
rents, which would react to the bene-
fit of the farmers.
The Federal Reserve board, Gov-
ernor Harding said, has no specific
plan for relief of the farmers. He
explained that the reserve banks
could not make direct loans to farm-
ers, but could only rediscount the
loans of member banks.
Reports to the board, Mr. Harding
continued, indicate that n*xt year's
American cotton crop will be within
75 per cent of this year's total, al-
though at the end of the present cot-
ton year 011 July 1, there will prob-
ably be a surplus of 8,000,000 bales,
or nearly a world's supply under pre-
sent conditions.
In the face of this situation he ad-
ded bankers naturally are cautious in
increasing their loans on farm paper.
He expressed the belief however, that
there would be sufficient advances to
care for the immediate needs of the
farmers in planting their crops.
FOOD MARKETING BOARD IS
SUGGESTED BY H()0\ I'll.
Washington, April 28.—Creation of
a national food marketing board un-
der the chairmanship of the secre-
tary of agriculture and with the ex-
isting bureau of markets as its execu-
tive arm, was suggested today by Sec-
retary Hoover as a means of relief to
farmers and consumers.
In a letter to Senator Capper of
Kansas, the commerce secretary out-
lined a zone of the functions of such
a board "the formation of regulations
or voluntary agreements with the pro-
duce exchanges, so as not to under-
mine the very necessary process of
hedging but at the same time to con-
trol that type of speculation which is
able through powerful drives upon
the market to crush the weak holder
of grain and force him upon the mar-
ket."
This function, the secretary said,
could be performed better through a
board than by direct fixed legislation.
Other services to be performed,
Secretary Hoover said, would be the
determination and publication of
facts as to distribution and prices of
vegetables and fruit, and the develop-
ment of warehousing practices with
respect to grain and other less perish-
able agricultural produce.
Statistics were prisented to show
that taking 100 as the index basis for
prices in 1913, farm crop prices row
stood 109; building material at 212;
hou«* furnishings at *.7?" clothing at
192; fuel and light at 207 and rail-
road rates at 166. Mo added that
"certainly these levels inu« <-ome into
step or the agricultural Industiy and
Its standards of living ? ,11 be under-
mined." ^

Sir Greenwood
Charges Murder
to Irish Bands
(A«soclated Prcua Dispatch.)
London, April 28.—In an impas-
sioned address today in the house
of commons on the Irish question,
Sir Hamar Greenwood, the chief
secretary for Ireland, described the
Irish republican army as "murder-
ers" and declared deeds were being
perpetrated in Ireland which it was
difficult for British civilians, the
military or police to believe could be
done by human hands. For ex-
ample, charged Sir Hamar, the
murder of Protestants was in pro-
gress as a deliberate plan, and
there has been "a horrible case of
the desecration of a Protestant
church," while fifteen Protestants
had been murdered recently "with-
out rhyme or reason and under re-
volting circumstances."
It was not, however, a case of
Roman Catholics against Protest-
ants, he said. There also was a
deliberate plan to attack, intimi-
date and, in some case, murder ex-
service men. The chief secretary
said documents had been captured
showing that aif offensive was be-
ins opened in Ulster to Interfere
with the coming elections, the plans
including possible action against
the Belfast water supply and other
methods of sabotage. One docu-
ment, said Sir Hamar, stated that
if the Irish republican army had
to contend with certain disadvant-
ages In this hostile territory, there
was compensation in that it would
not have to consider the popula-
tion, except to a small extent.

ATLANTIC FLEET OFF HAMP-
TON ROADS,
SCHWAB DECLARES WE Ml'ST
REGARD GERMANS AS REAL
COMPETITORS NOW.
(Associated Tress Dispatch.)
New York, April 28.—Germany,
through the economy and sacrifices of
her working people, has settled down
to real production and is outsliipping
the United States and allied nations in
tho fight toward normalcy, Charles
M. Schwab declared here today in an
address before the Chamber of Com-
merce of the state of New York.
"Germany today can put a ton of
steel in England at a price $20 a ton
cheaper than England can make it,"
he said, "and is selling pneumatic
tools in Detroit where formerly we
shipped such machinery to Germany
and sold it cheaper than she could
make it.
,'The difference is solely a matter
of labor costs."
"It is estimated that 5,000,000 men
are out of work in this country. It
is accordingly of supremo importance
to the working man as well as' to the
capitalist to restore our prosperity.
"Labor costs underlie our railroad
difficulty. They are the cause of the
excessive railroad rates. We formerly
sold pig iron at a profit at about
$14.00 a ton. Today the total freight
rates involved in making a ton of pig
iron are more than $14.
"But the railroads cannot give serv-
ice even at present rates with their
existing costs."
Darwin P. Kingsley, president of
the chamber, delivered an address
eulogizing Mr. Schwab.for his service
during the War. The chamber pre-
sented to Mr. Schwab a bronze tablet,
at the top of which was Inscribed tho
words uttered by lachimo, a character
in Shakespeare's play, "Cymbellne."
The quotation reads:
' "Here's a voucher stronger than
ever law could make."
Mr. Kingsley said that before
America entered the world war Ger-
many offered Mr. Schwab $100,000,-
000 If he would break his contracts
with Lord Kitche'ner.
"England learned of this," he
added, "and countered with an offer
of $150,000,000. Mr. Schwab laughed
and said that Germany and England
together hadn't money enough to
make him break faith with England."
Beginning these remarks, Mr.
Kingsley said Mr. Schwab was "flung
into the heart of the world war long
before our country was drawn in."
"He was known as a great execu-
tive. He was a man who could do
things. He was at the head of a great
plant which was able to turn out
weapons and munitions of war.
"England sought his services. He
responded, and In the construction of
submarines did' the impossible."

tho thousand bronzed officers and the
wall of blue clad enliste'd men who
formed a background.
The president had for his platform
a spot directly beneath the muzzles of
the three Lt-lneh rifles in the super-
dreadnaught's after turret. His was a
message of peace, delivered from al-
most tho same spot where President
Wilson made his much discussed war
address to the fleet at nearby York-
town soon after the United States en-
tered the world war.
Hopes for Permanent Puice.
Declarin; that it was his wish that
tlit navy might never again flro a

officers that he believed if all the
nations on earth were impelled by
the same motives as actuated the
United Statee, "this world would be
Ht peace forever."
"But, I would not wan^ a peace
without honor." he said. "I would
not want peace without tho con-
sciousness that America was doing
rigfil and protecting its citizenship in
the most effective way."
When he boarded the Pennsylvania
to return the call of Admiral Henry
It. Wilson, fleet commander, he was
persuaded by the enthusiasm of the
officers to address them informally.
"I am especially happy to come
and speak to you of America and
those who stand for its naval de-
fense," President Harding said. "I
want to tell you men how deeply in-
terested and thoroughly confident
America is in you. I have 110 thought

Senator Underwof d Joins In Flglit
Against Resolution Plan for Peace
and Says This Is No Time for the
Unlt< d States to Lay Down On tho
Battle Line—To Vote on Proposal,
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington, April 2?.--The first at*
tack in the senate on the Knox peace
resolution canio
today from tho
republican side,
Senator Nelson,
of Minnesota,
chairman of the
senate judiciary
committee, char-
acterizing the
resolution a s
"unusual, halt-
ing. equivocat-
ing and only a
partial and
dilatory work."
Senator N. lw>n
His opposition shattered hopes of
leaders for a solid republican lineup
for adoption of the resolution. An
informal agreement for a final vote
next Saturday on the Knox peaco
resolution was reached today by the
senate.
Neither Senators Knox nor Lodge
was prepared to open debate when
the resolution came up today, and
Senator Nelson proceeded with deliv-
ery of his prepared address.
"By tills resolution," Senator Nel-
son raid, "we insist upon full repa- '
ration for ourselves, but are wholly
oblivious as to wheiher our allies se-
cure any reparation at all."
Passage of the resouitlon would en«
courage Germany to continue In the
resistance to allied reparations de-
mands, he declared.
Senator Underwood of Alabama,
democratic leader, followed Senator
Nelson in opposition,to the resolution,
adoption of which, he said.-'would be
"the final scene of a great tragedy."
The Alabama senator said he recog-
nized that the democratic party had
been unable to carry out Its plan foi
making peace and that there had been
a "political revolution," making tin
republican party responsible for mak-
ing peace.
"But I cannot understand why the
party in power seeks to accomplish ti
in this way," said Mr. Underwood.
Another way to make peace. Sena-
tor Underwood said, "if the president
