' PuriR. Sunday, Feb. 2.—Proposals
for the establishment af u single fi-
nancial front for the allies have been
submitted to the entente ministers here
by Signor Crespi. member of the Italian
delegation, according to a statement
made by him today. After saying that
the Central Powers nmst com | ten sate
the allies for the damage suffered dur-
ing the war. Signor Crespi said:
“On the other hand, all the allies
have suffered Immense losses and
they must all benefit from the indem-
nities which the enemy Is to |>ay. liach
one should receive'in proportion to the
effort, it has made., Thus smaller
state* that have spent tuore than larg-
er ones In comparison to their wealth
ought to receive larger indemnities in
pro|>orth>n. Absolute fairness ought to
lie preserved In the division of Indem-
nities.
“The simplest way to carry out the
actual distribution Svlmuhl be to put
the entire fund into u common pcsil,
which could" U* iieriodteally apia.rthm-
ed among I lie different nations. The
fund should lie .augmented by tuxes of
n universal character levied on all
States, enemy, ullled or neutral, the
lust named having licuefltlcd from the
sacrifices lufide by the allies. Such
taxes blight la* levied on exports and
imports and also on coal and raw Ma-
terials. Il seems do me only fair that
eomitries which have henefitted and
even grown rich, through the suffering
nml sacrifices of the allies should la1
made to help compensate ttie allies.
Such a lax would licit weigh more
heavily on one state than another,
since it would !a> universal. It would
merely have the effect . of raising
prices on some certain pkrttealnr pro-
ducts in all countries alike,

Incidentally, another element of tie
controversy lietween March* ''in

Crowder aspired to lie Chief of Staf
before March was appointed.
It is known that March sought t
send Crowder overseas in conmctioi
■two nationalities ohi.v pending the
arrival of the commission and per-
sonal examination by it of the situa-
tion there. Accordingly, the arrange-
ment preseriliea the sections where
the Boles and ( '/cells art to exercise
civil administration and military Occu-
pation and regulates the operation and
disposition of the -output of the mines.
As soon as possible after its arrival,
the commission will go to Tescheti to
examine th§ matter at issue. This, »ti,-
. though most nnkncwii to the outside
world, has been a very important and
dangerous factor affecting rotations
lietween the newly created states.

lands of Austrian Silesia and has a

The Czechs’, claim rests on suzerain-

is more ehsential trf them than the

At the time this was generally ro

SOMETHING OF THE PARK SYSTEM OF KANSAS CITY, PLANNED

ning to the. natural conditions found
in the ctly. The rugged characteris-
tics of ^nftsns City's topography was
taken advantage of in' the select Ion of

Fifty years hence the people of
Kansas City expect their park system
to be still Incomplete, but growing in
'beauty anil splendor, and a constant
inspiration and delight.
