Allies Discuss
New Post-War
Trade Policy
American Experts Seeking
to Devise Acceptable
Economic Treaty
Wilson Would Be
Fair to Germans
Paris Conference Decision
Now Believed to Have
Been Made Obsolete
?Special Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.?The ad?
dress of Premier Lloyd George before
rhe National Union of Manufacturers
in London, in which he referred to the
Paris resolutions and s*ii?l, "Up to the j
present time America has expressed no :
opinion upon them, and it is vitally im- i
portant that the policy of America and ;
that of this country should be in com- j
plete agreement on economic as well as
other problems," was construed here to
mean that discussions are now going
forward between the Allies and the
United States for the purpose of formu?
lating a common economic policy to be
put into effect at the conclusion of
peace.
This government apparently took the
position, as indicated m President Wil?
son's various addresses, first, that there
should not be an economic war after
the war, keeping the world still divid??!
into two groups of belligerent nations,
and, later, that there should be no eco?
nomic war alter the war unless the
aims of the present war should fall
short of materialization and pence
should have to he negotiated with the
present German government on a basis
that did not remove the menace of
Prussian militarism from the earth.
In official quarters it was declared to?
day that this government has not
formulated an economic policy to In
pursued after the war, but experts are
giving the profoundest study to the
question. It is known to be the desire
of President Wilson to avoid a situa?
tion which would necessitate, in his
mind, the practice of restrictions which :
would deny to the German people after j
the war a natural right to engage in
commerce with the world upon reason?
able terms and conditions.
Premier Lloyd George, however, has
presented the subject in a new aspect
-that of compelling Germany to pay'
the costs of the war to the Allies by i
increasing the penalties to be imposed j
upon that country because of its pro- i
longation of the war, causing greater !
outlay of sacrifices, both human and
material, to the Allies.
It is felt here that the Paris con?
ference resolutions offer a faulty pro?
gramme for protecting the interests of
the Allies after the war; that the
changed conditions, together with the
entry of the United States into the war,
have already made that document ob?
solete, and that the question will have \
' to be studied anew by the associated
powers and a fresh programme laid
down, which, nevertheless, will itself
be subject to revision accordingly as
developments may dictate.
It is believed that Britain will take
the leadership in a new movement for
another economic conference of the al?
lied nations, in which the United States
would be represented.
London Newspapers
Split Over Premier's
Threat to Germany
LONDON, Aug. 2.?Sharp dissent to
the threat of Premier David Lloyd
George to use the economic weapon
against Germany after the war.
as outlined in an addres.-, made
by the Premier before a delegation
from the National Union of Manu?
facturers yesterday, is expressed by
the Liberal press and the Premier's
*-'icw, ?t is said, will not be indorsed
in America.
Quoting the phrase "The longer the
?rar lasts the sterner must be the
economic terms we oppose on the
foe," used by Mr. Lioyd George in
his address, "The Chronicle" says:
"We doubt very much whether that
is how President Wilson views the
question, it is certainly not the view
of American opinion generally. Amer?
icans attach great importance to the
economic weapon which the Allies
acting together could wield, but the
Americans do not wish it wielded
with a vindictive purpose for any fixed
period after the war. It will not bo
possible to carry out both the Ameri?
can policy and Lloyd George's policy.
They are alternative, not supplemen?
tary.
"The American suggestion is full of
hope an?l help in the pursuit of ulti?
mate permanent world peace. That
of Lloyd George has quite the oppo?
site tendency."
Conservative papers, on the other
hand, generally indorse the Premier's
address, although some accuse him of
being indefinite. "The Times," recog?
nizing the existence of the opinion in
some quarters thai th?* United States
will not consent to the employment r.f
economic weapons against Germany
emphasized the fact that the Premier
expressed the hope that , n agreement
might be reached on economic ,1-? ,.,-e!l
as other problems between America and
England. It cit?is the phrase used by
President Wilson in his Mount Vernon
address, "no halfway decision is toler?
able "
Balfour Says League
Of Nations Needs
Economic Weapons
LONDON, Aug. 2. ? ?r thai the
adoption of ?conomie car ns *.fter
the war might endanger the p rf,f>r? ;?rl
league of nations was expressed by
James II. Thomas, La'. M. P. for
Derby, in the House o? Coi non? to?
day during a discussion on , he policy
of such a league raised by Liberal
members.
Foreign Secretary Balfour, in reply,
complained that he had heard no really
practical suggestions from members
for the attainment oi t?.?- objects they
?li had in view nor any Indication
where an International police fore,, to
enforce, contracts between nations
could be found.
Unquestionably, In* continued, a
league of nations could not afford to
deprive its armory of economic wea?
pons. It is perfectly true that the
economic, weapon is capable of ?misuse,
as witness Germany's policy In Russia,
in a manner destructive of liberty, but
the Foreign Secretary saw no i-ign of
any country consenting to abandon th?
.employment of tariff* if it considered
them necessary, H< believed that Mr.
Thomas would find that labor would
Tf0i :xi,*r,r;<,r: ? h : I method 0* dealing
with economic problems,
Mr. Haifour also contended that uni
MirziA disarmament only was possible
,t
if it could be proved that the new
international arrangement was effec?
tive and if it had machinery for keep?
ing the world's peace successfully.
"The last four years," continued the
Foreign .Secretary, "have convinced the
nations that, war is a very costly,
bloody and brutal thing, but not that
it is a thing to be thrust, aside.
"Frankly, looking around on the
! world, 1 see the greatest of nations
quite as ready to quarrel with each
other as the most ambitious of their
predecessors."
Lord Robert Cecil, Cnder Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, urged
that the conditions of peace ought to
be mad?.' more favorable to those na?
tions prepared to enter a league. He
thought the question should be consid?
ered fully in all its aspects and a
scheme prepared to be put in operation
immediately after the war if there was
any prospect of its adoption, because
j a few years delay would, with the
I shortness of people's memories, result
in the cooling of present enthusiasm.
The difficulties in the way of estab?
lishing and running such a league were
so serious, he added, that only by the
united efforts of all men of good will
could it possibly be put into execution.
Treason Charge in
Ma?vy Case Dropped
Punishment Asked Only for
Minister's Alleged Connec?
tion With Mutinies
PARIS, Aug. 2.?Attorney General
Mejill?n summed up in the High Court
of Justice to-day the government's
case in the trial of Louis Malvy, for?
mer Minister of Interior in severa)
French Cabinets.
The Attorney General said M. Malvy
was not a traitor, as Leon Daudet,
leader of the Royalist Association and
editor of "L'Action Fran?aise," had de?
clared. M. Merillon contended that
, the former Interior Minister really had
not betrayed his country.
The Attorney General said he did
not wish to compare M. Malvy either
with Bolo Pacha or M. Duval, director
of the "Bonnet Rouge," both of whom
were shot as traitors, and that he
would withdraw the charge of treason
in Malvy's case.
Attorney General Merillon main?
tained, however, that M. Malvy was
partly responsible for certain mutin?
ies in the French army, which he at?
tributed to pacifist propaganda, and he
said the former minister should be
punished for that.

Noted Englishmen See Day
i Of Final Victory Dawning
Great Britain's Part in Four Years of War Inspires Unshaken
Resolutions to "Carry On" to Complete Peace and
Increasing Confidence in ?America's Support
L nshaken resolution to go forward to the. final victory, increasing
'. confidence because America has joined in the great conflict and predic?
tion of o complete triumph of the Allied arms were voiced to-day in a
,'cries of statements from leading Englishmen on Great Britain's part in
the four gears of war ending August .',. The statements, isszied by the
?ritish Bureau of Information, foll?n-:
The Earl of Reading,
British Ambassador and High
Commissioner at Washington:
"The fourth anniversary of our cn
\ try into the war finds the nation stern
and resolute. ?Success and reverse have
been met with the same unflinching
fortitude, and never has the spirit of
the people been liner nor their confi?
dence higher.
"Sustained in their continuous and
unwearied eiFort by the love o? liberty,
navy, army and civilians have alike
done great deeds. At the outset the
navy swept, the sea, and our original
British army, some 160,000 strong,
withstood with France and Belgium the
mighty onrush of German millions.
That tiny army handed down its spirit
and tradition to the host-? that subse?
quently responded to the country's
call.
"In every sphere of war activity the
men and women of Britain are taking
an ever increasing share, and however
long may be the duration of the war,
and whatever its further cost in blood
and treasure, the British people will,
in common with our allies, never give
up the struggle for the freedom of
mankind.
"Coupled with that spirit of stern
resolve which animates every section
of the community is the feeling of very
real gratitude to America for her aid
to the Allied cause. The glorious
achievements of the never ending
stream of American soldiers which is
pouring into Europe go far to make
certain the final and complete triumph
j of our arms.
"The day is dawning; already the
bright beams of the sun of liberty are
piercing and dissipating the clouds of
tyranny and despotism. Soon a new
era of peace will open to the world."
Brigadier-General W. A. White,
Commanding the British and Ca?
nadian recruiting mission in the
United States:
"On August 4, 1914, Great Britain
declared war on Germany, The actual
cause of war was the German invasion
of Belgium. But war was certain from
the moment France was attacked, foi
no Englishman would ever have, hele
up his head on the continent of Europe
if we had left France to her fate, Sc
? on this August 4 we are still fighting
to drive Germany out of Belgium and
France.
"We rejoice that last, year America
was with us in this fight in spirit, and
this year she is there with the men
and the guns, so that at last the tide
is turning. Just as August 4, 191 1,
brought the final consummation of
Franco-British friendship, so August
-1, 1918, when Britons and Americans
are fighting together on the sacred soil
of France, may be regarded as the last
word in the Anglo-American compact,
which is the best guarantee of a peace?
ful world."
Sir Charles Gordon,
Chief of the Department of War
Supplies of the British War Mis?
sion :
"Since my arrival in Washington,
about a year ago, 1 have had an oppor?
tunity as director general of war sup?
plies for the British government of
observing at close range the great prep?
arations for war which have been made
by the United States, and have noted
the three stages' through which they
have passed.
"First, the period which must be
encountered when all is confusion, and
which is incidental to the entry of any
great nation into war. and during which
all sorts of progress seem to be ex?
tremely slow. No matter how capable
or willing the many prominent officials
and voluntary workers may be, it is
difficult during this period to have co?
ordination and cooperation between
departments or governments who are
all striving at the shortest possible
notice to secure the various war sup?
plies which are necessary to carry on
war.
"That period has, happily, passed,
however, and the second period has also
come and gone, during which the spirit
of cooperation has been most manifest
between the many departments of the
I United States government and the war
; mission of the Allies situated in Wash?
ington. It may now be said that the
third period has been reached, when
! the unbounded resources of the United
States for carrying on the war are
i being quickly developed to such a point
that all requirements, not only of the
: United States themselves but also of
| the Allies, will soon be taken care of,
putting at the disposal of the military
'authorities in France such an army of
! men and supply of war materials as
will have a determining influence on
I the course of the war."
Kultur's Fountainhead
Open to Americans
Prisoners Will Have That
Glorious Chance, Says
"Weser Zeitung"
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 2.- Referring to
; the projected exchange of American
and German prisoners of war, the
"Weser Zeitung," of Bremen, makes
the sinister remark:
"We arc able to contain our joy.
American prisoners are welcome guests
for whom we have, sufficient employ?
ment on the? Eastern labor market and
in our agricultural enterprises behind
the front. They may be sure of get?
ting, with Teutonic punctuality, all
they are entitled to under the Hague
Convention, and more, if tiiey prove
good workers, although they must
thank the Anglo-American starvation
measures if their diet falls below the
' homo fieshpots."
The newspaper continues: "It. will
do the Americans a powerful lot of
. good to acquaint themselves with kul
? tur from the fountainhead."
It considers the quick release of re-1
| cently captured Americans an injustice j
to others who have been prisoner? for
| a longer time. The newspaper urges
that full counter-value be exacted and,
above all, that civilians like Carl
Buenz, the general representative of
the Hamburg-American Steamship
Company at New York, who is now
serving an eighteen-month sentence in
the. United States prison at Atlanta,
' Ga., for conspiring to defraud tho
I'nited States government, should be
the lirst to be released. It is added
that the staff which served under Carl
Buenz in Xew York should be included
in this category.

Manufacturers I n
GermanyPreparing
For the "Next War"
Teuton Ironmasters De?
mand Mines in French
Part of Lorraine
Join With Militarists
Note to Imperial Government
Sneers at Value of Treaties
Compared to Armies
[Special Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON', Aug. 2, ? German
manufacturers are allied with German
militarists in demanding territorial
expansion of the empire, and have
petitioned the imperial government to
take from France the rich mineral de?
posits in that part of Lorraine which
the Prussian peace failed to seize after
the Franco-Prussian War, says an offi?
cial telegram from Paris to-day.
"The association of German iron and
steel manufacturera and the assecia
tion of German iron masters," the dis?
patch says, "addressed a confidential
note to the imperial government in
December, 1917, which stated in tho
most unmistakable way that the an?
nexation ism of the manufacturers of
Germany is the same as that of the
representatives of the military castes.
"The note points out, first, that for
a long time the home supplies of iron
have not been sufficient for the needs
of German metallurgy, which in 1914
was importing nearly half of the raw
material for the upkeep of its great
smelting furnaces. It then points out
that the learned doctors, Byschlag and
Krusch, 'the most competent, men in
Germany' in regard to all mining mat?
ters, have established the fact through
long and patient reports that the beds
of tho empiro would be exhausted in
?ess than half a century. It concludes
by claiming the annexation of that
part of Lorraine which to the present
time has remained French.
Treaties Do Not Guarantee
"The arguments given in support of
the claims are: French Lorraine must
be annexed, because it would other?
wise be impossible to obtain with any
degree of certainty the resources of its
subsoil. Treaties, in truth, do not en?
sure any kind of security.
" 'In no place and in no time,' says
the German manufacturers' note, 'is it
possible to make sure of guarantees by
treaties on paper, but only by military
occupation and domination . . . We
want, to annex to the German Father?
land a territory which for centuries
belonged to the furnier German Em?
pire.'
"Then the note proposes to apply to
France the famous theory of the
'pawn,' which has been defined in a
masterly way by Chancellor Hortung
on the subject of Belgium. France, it
asserts, will certainly not hesitate to
exchange 'the territory of Lorraine for
the coal fields and indusfrial centres of
the north, Lille, Valenciennes, Mau
beuge and St. Quentin, which are of
much more importance for her econom?
ical development.'
"Finally, these being evidently the
decisive reasons, the note enumerates
all the advantages which would result
from the annexation of French Lor
raine for German industry, German ag?
riculture, German commerce, German
workmen, the general prosperity of
Germany, and, above all, for the suc?
cess of the next war.
Preparing for the Next War
"The note lays stress in a cynical
manner on the last point:
"'In a fture war the ameioration
of our home supplies of iron ore must
take on a particularly powerful form,
because the greater the iron wealth
of an industrial state the more that
state will be feared as an adversary.
It does not appear impossible for us
to arrive at this point during the pe?
riod of ten years following the con?
clusion of peace. After the return to
the former German fatherland of that
part of Alsace Lorraine which is still
French our iron industries should again
reach their former capacity of produc?
tion, and may thus realize the great?
est advantage in a future war. Our
reinforcement of our iron wealth, ex?
ceeding still the production in peace
times, would result in doubling or mul?
tiplying the lighting force of our army
and navy.' v
