Believed That Berlin Government Is Well Aware That There Remains No Room for Procrastination After End of Month. . Paris. It is no longer doubted In circles here considered to have the best information that France will, either alone or in common with the allies, take radical action against Germany if satisfactory assurance regarding the payment of reparations are not ' forthcoming by May 1. What form the action will take is only a matter for surmise, but semiofficial opinion is that it will be such .as to impress the German people as they have not been impressed since the armistice. " The occupation of the Ruhr valley and the entire industrial region of Westphalia is advocated by some. Others are convinced that the French army should this time go to Berlin, in order to make sure, they argue, of finishing a task which they hold would be achieved much more cheaply iu the ' end by this method than through the successive application of lesser penalties. It is thought in official circles here that the Berlin government is well aware that there remains no room for procrastination after the end of this month. Hence, after failing to interest the United States in her case, as the French interpret the outcome of the recent correspondence between Berlin and Washington, Germany is understood to have made a tentative effort to draw Switzerland into the reparations question as a mediator. It a is understod is disposed to join in. the application of economic penalties against Germany, and t even to contribute to military meas- ures. If desired.

LONG PROGRAM OF BUSINESS FACES MEMBERS OF THE SIXTY-SEVENT- Taxes, Tariff, Foreign Affairs and Domestic Problems to Be Considered During Special Ses- in ,the Near East Declared to Be Directed Against Late Ally. Desire a Formal Understanding With France. British -- Influence ' , Frank acknowledgment by the Turkish Nationalist government of Angora of a desire to reach an understanding with France for subverting British influence in the near east is contained, in a statement received on April 10 ' from Angofh. The declaration .of policy of the Turkish National government is of especial interest, in the opinion of officials, since the policy urged on 1 ranee by the Turks may have had some influence in the evacuation of Cilicia as well as in the conclusion of a formal understanding between the two governments. Great Britain is today not only supreme in the near east, the statement declared, but alsot-ithe world, and France finds herself under this domination. Turkey understands that the struggle which she pursues today is neither against the Greeks nor against the French, but instead against the British. 7 The near eastern policy of Great Britain was reported as being directed against France and that of the lattei as endeavoring to maintain intact an independent Turkey. Criticism, however, was made of the pursuit by France of certain economic interests contrary to the vital interests of the Turks. "Should France desire it, the statement said, a solution might be found for all these questions affecting the interests of France and Turkey. Evacuation of Cilicia by France would go strengthen the government of Anatolia that all plans of British domination would in a very short time be effectively Checked,.'- Tfiepoiicy which Turkey henceforth will be able to pursue will be one which will be in accord with many points of French pol- sion of Congress.

This is the central fact of the labor situation' as it developed rriqajt-ioi-ir breakdown in the miners conference and a consequent' decision by the triple alliance made up of . miners and railroad and transport workers for the first time since it was organized that its entire membership, roughly estimated at 1,000,000 miners and 500,000 each from the railroad and transport workers organizations, should quit work In support of the strike of the miners. The governments standpoint, as voiced by Premier Lloyd George in a brief speech in the house of commons Friday afternoon, is that the action of the miners and other members of the triple alliance is an attempt by direct action to intimidate parliament and the nation. The premier announced the military and other measures which the government intended to take to defeat this attempt The standpoint of the miners is that the sudden removal of control of the coal mines is the result of .a pact between the government and the mine owners to enable the owners to enforce an unjustifiable reduction In The attitude of the railway wages. men is that unless there is support of the miners at the present time a similar "dilemma will happen to the railway men on some future occasion when the railroads are released from government control. , Chicago.

Possibility that the members of the Northwest Wheat Growers association would not come into the organization because their plan for compulsory grain pooling was defeated in favor of optional pooling, was lessened when George C. Jewett of Spokane, Wash., general manager of the northwest company, was elected a director of the new organization. Other associations which favored compulsory pooling asked time in which to make their plans, but indications were they would join the new company. Planter Faces New Charges. 'Montieello, Ga.
