ASK AGREEMENT
WITH AMERICA
Leaves France to Herself on
the Reparations Ques-

TALK MUTUAL LOVE
But More Than Likely Brit-

Continent.

Paris. Jan. s.—France !s preparing
definitely to act alone or with Belgium
to seize productive guaranties from Ger-
following the inevitable default
on January 15.
The seizure will be as little of a
military character as possible. At the
request of the French government the
reparations committee meets today to
discuss and probably announce the vol-
untary Germany default in coal deliver-
ies. It will also probably discuss the
German request for a moratorium.
Whether the British .member of the
commission will attend is uncertain.
The break-up of the premier's con-
ference came because of the unwilling-
ness of the French to discuss the
British plan and the unwillingness of
the British to discuss the French plan.
The conference was unique in that there
were no private negotiations between
the British and French premiers. Both
were firm as adamant.
Belgium and Italy although with
some reluctance supported the French
rather than the British plan. The
French and British governments both
express themselves as still profoundly
attached to the necessity even in dis-
agreement of preserving the entente but
the future in this respect is obsucre.
Support Each other at Lausanne.
There is no reason to assume that
France for the present will discon-
tinue her loyal support of Great Brit-
ain at Lausanne. On the other hnnd.
it seems almost certain that Great
Britain must now withdraw at least
temporarily from continental affairs
and devote herself more assiduously than
ever to seeking a close understanding
with the United States reinforced by
which she might once more be in a posi-
tion to re-enter the politics of the con-
tinent. i
The break came because the French
insist upon the necessity of seizing pro-
ductive guaranties from Germany with-
out more delay while the British insist
that such seizure will prevent the re-
covery of German credit and hence will
defeat its own ends financially. The
French do not share in this opinion
They believe that the only way to got
out o£ Germany is to pnt real
pressure upon the groat German indus-
trials who are the invisible government
in that country.
French Firmly United.
The reports spread in the United
States that the provicial French news-
papers and the people in the French
provinces nre opposed in any fundamen-
tal respect to Premier Poincare’s for-
eign policy is absolutely npslcading.
Most of the great provicial newspapers
belong to the radical party and oppose
M. Poincare in matters of interior
politics but the French people as a
whole are virtually unanimous in ap-
proving Poincare's policy in the repa-
rations crisis.
Even the Socialists find the British
plan utterly inacceptgble and. bnt for
a few extreme radicals who suggest re.
ferring the whole controversy to the
League of Nations they see no re-
course for France in the face of what
all consider to be Germany's evident
ill-will except the seizure of securi-
ties.
FRANCE AGAIN DECIDES
TO MOVE ON THE RUHR
(Continued from page one.)
may be agreed upon by the French and
Belgian premiers.
Measures such as arc usually made
in the time of crisis were taken by
the French military authorities at May-
encc as a news of the breakdown in
the premiers' conference in Paris be-
came known says a dispatch from May-
ence.
The dispatch adds that headquarters
sent orders to all of the troops to re-
main in barracks ready for all eventu-
alities and that the men on leave of
Ay ■«nce were recalled.
The alliance between Fram ■. Great
Britain Italy and Belgium fell apart
over the treatment of German repara-
tions. The Latin powers France Italy
and Belgium remain loosely grouped
together.
A Friendly Break up.
The climax in the conference enme
when Mr. Bonar Law returned Io the
conference room after telephoning to
London. M. Poincare during the Brit-
ish minister's absence had examined
the British memorandum drawn up in
reply to his speech of yesterday and
the French premier immediately took
the floor and addressed Mr. Bonar Law
rather feelingly. He paid tribute to
tbe cordial spirit in which the British
premier had conducted the negotiations.
To his great regret however he found
nothing in the memorandum which
wade it possible for him to change
his qttitnde. Consequently he eonsid-
eted there was no reason for continuing
the conference.
Mr. Bonar Law thereupon arose nnd
read a note which he had prepared dur-
ing tbe recess. M. Poincare also read
his closing remarks. Some pleasantries
passed among the delegates to the ef-
ect that the partial break among the
trincipal allies meant that there would
x* no more conferences for the time
being.

JAPAN PLANNING TO SEND
A DIPLOMATIC ENVOY TO
VATICAN IN NEAR FUTURE
Negotiation* Have Progressed to Submitting of Name
of Yoyu Matusoka to Ascertain If He Is Suitable
Although Fight Is Expected in Diet on Bill to
Provide Funds for Embassy.
By JUNIUS B. WOOD.
Copyright 1923 by The San Antonio Light.
Tokio. Jan. s.—Japan's plans to send
an accredited diplomatic envoy to the
Vatican have reached the stage accord-
ing to reliable reports where the Japa-
nese foreign office is cabling to Rome
the name of Yoyu Matusoka in an ef-
fort to ascertain whether he is accept-
able as the head of the new lega-
tion.
Matusoka. who is an extremely ca-
pable member of the younger group of
Japanese officials is 42 years old an
alumnus of the University of Oregon
and for a time studied law at tbe Uni-
versity of Michigan. After his return
to Japan from his American studies
he entered the diplomatic service in
PJO4 under the patronage of the late
Prince Yamagata who was a powerful
figure in Japanese politics. He was
later advanced from the post of con-
sul general to that of embassy attache
of the Versailles peace delegation and
subsequently was made head of the
newspaper section of the Japanese for-
eign office here.
Matusoka's frankness in discussing
government policies with newspaper cor-
respondents was not altogether pleas-
ing to his sunerios-officer in the Japa-
nese diplomatic service and he was
later transferred to the directorate of
the South Manchurian Railroad a posi-
tion which he now holds.
Opposition Is Political.
While Japanese government officials
are decided in establishing diplomatic
relations with the Vatican it will be
necessary for the present diet to vote
the annual budget containing an initial
appropriation of $58000 which will af-
ford anti-ministry parties an opportun-
ity to attack the bill. Though ultimate
approval is assured those opposing the
political innovation insist that it is
unnecessary for Japan 98 per cent of
whose population is Buddhists and
Shintoists to send an envoy to the head
of a Christian denomination. HdvMver/
M. Poincare and the bourse reacted to
the impending disruption of the pour-
parlours by sending the dollar up to
8.255.
That the center of gravity of Euro-
pean politics has now shifted from Par-
is and London to Washington is as-
serted by Vorwaerts which says that
any independent procedure by France
would automatically become a breach of
the peace and nn act of war. The
Boerscn Courrie believes by disassociat-
ing herself from her treaty allies and
undertnlting independent action. France
commits a breach of the treaty not only
towards Germany but also toward her
former allies.
Would Not Tolerate Break.
The bourse organ doubts whether
England and the United States would
tolerate such a state of affairs in Eu-
rope even if such action were carried
out without bloodshed.
“Poincare's plan is a crime against
Europe.” says the Deutsche Allgemein
Zeitung Hugo' Stinnes' organ which
believes the gravity of the situation
cannot be overestimated.
Dr. Georg Gothein. democratic leader
in the Reichstag and well known econ-
omist. suggests that the only effective
remedy against “the imperialistic bel-
ligerency of France” is at the disposal
o fthe financial world in tbe United
States Great Britain and Holland
which he asserts is in a positon to
bring M. Poincare to hU knees by
“throwing” the French franc.
BANKERS TO MEET
Will Discuss Proposed Amendment
State Banking Law.
Every state bank in tbe second and
fifteenth district has been requested
to have a representative nt a meeting
of state bankers to be held at the St.
Anthony Hotel Friday night at 7:30
o'clock. The meeting is for the pur-
pose of discussing a proposed amend-
ment to tbe state banking Inw which
will come up in the next meeting of
the legislature.
In addition to considering the pro-
posed amendment to the state hanking
law Walton D. Hood secretary of
the fifteenth district said that im-
portant matters to every state bank in
the two districts will be discussed.
Mr. Hood also said that the state
bank commissioner has agreed to be
present at the meeting.

ference amendment to the naval bill

ment was withdrawn.

public criticisms of the plan emanates
from politicians instead of from lead-
ers of either the Protestant of Buddhists
circles.
"Authorities explain that the move
will serve to propagate the idea that
Japan stands for pacification” says
the Asahi Tokio's leading newspaper.
“Many consider the Vatican to be
tbe fountainhead of international amity
and the incarnation of pacifism which
we doubt. When an influenced church
grows into power a struggle for su-
premacy will start between the Vatican
and other powers. Japan's best pa-
cifist propaganda will be the abandon-
ment of military diplomacy reduction
of armaments and the adoption of uni-
versal suffrage.”
Other Side Presented.
Tbe Jiji another Tokio newspaper
recalls that the Catholics contributed
largely to the Allied war success
through the activities of the Knights of
Columbus among American troops and
calls attention to the fact that the
Vatican has had an unofficial repre-
sentative in Tokio for the past three
years.
“Since the World War the Roman
Catholic Church with 300000000 de-
vout members among whom the pope's
xclig»o«« orders are enforced irre-
spective of nationality or race has ac-
quired a big influence in the arena of
world politics" says the Jiji in an edi-
torial. “Wherever Japanese go they in-
evitably come in contact with the influ-
ence of the church especially in China.
North and South America in Canada
and in the South. Often Japan con-
fronted with important international
issues since the world war. has suffered
from lack of intimate relations with the
Vatican. While still maintaining ex-
isting friendly relations with Protestant
nations Japan can with perfect pro-
priety establish friendly relations with
the pope. Far-reaching benefits for Ja-
pan will accrue from such relation-
chip.” — ■
