June 20—As a result of forced economies Omaha boys and girls will have only thirty-six weeks of school next year instead of the customary thirty-eight It is not going to be as easy for them as they may think. however, since the dropped weeks will be made up by eliminating all half hoLidays and the closing of schools for the annual teachers convention in the fall. Faced with a certain reduction of valuation of taxable property and no way to make up the loss of revenue by increasing the tax rate, the school board has cut $600,000 from its annual budget of $4,000,000. Half the reduction is accomplished by the curtailment cf'school activities and the other half by cutting the salaries of teachers and other employes. The cuts range" from 8 per cent for the lowest paid to 12 per cent for the superintendent who accepted a voluntary reduction. although employed under a contract ; which has three years to run. One of the economies proposed was the er.mination of the special summer schools, but the teachers were so im-pressed'with the desirability of maintaining these schools that they volunteered to take salary reductions aggregating $25,000 to keep them open.

Germany's Relief Immediate Object of Conference Consideration Offered Respecting Provisional Reparations Under Young Plan Extension of. Hoover Moratorium Essential to Success of Any Plan for Relief Lausanne, July 17—The five nations which were largely instrumental in the calling of the Lausanne conference for the consideration of war debt cancellation and reparations—Great Britain. France, Italy, Belgium and Japan —have issued an announcement suspending the payment of war debts and reparations due to them for the period of the conference. This action it is explained is taken without prejudice to any solution which may be reached later with respect to war debts and reparations. The agreement on the part of Great Britain and France upon a sensational plan for a general European economic conference of which there have been rumors for the past few days is heavily discounted by the British foreign office. With respect to the conference it is interesting, if momentarily discouraging, to see that the two countries most vitally interested in intergovern-menal war debts, the United States and Germany, are both facing national elections, which circumstances, luckily or unluckily, inject a certain amount •of unavoidable uncertainty into the negotiations of which the Lausanne meeting is but a prelude. The elect'ons in the United States do not take place until November and the party managers are not willing to jeopardize their chances of success by mixing to much in European affairs, although it is generally" known there has been a wonderful change in public sentiment upon this question within the past few months. In Germany Chancellor von Papen is said to stand squarely upon the position taken by his predecessor Chancellor Bruening that Germany will pay no more reparations. There has been widespread comment over the fact that in the weeks which preceded the Lausanne conference, Britain and France have not brought themselves to agreement on a policy which, as the principal "reparations creditors of the Reich, they should follow in the face of the promised German statement that Berlin will pay no more reparations. The need for such a program caus&d the hurry-up meeting of the statesmen of London with the statesmen of Paris recently, but apparently without result. It seems likely that there will be a compromise between the British and French points of view and. under the circumstances, it is likely that . this compromise will lean rather. to the French position. In other words, it would be no surprise 1f MacDonald and Herriot agreed that the Hoover moratorium, so far as it concerns the Reich, should be prolonged for another year or two years. This would mean that Germany \would make no payments on the two-thirds conditional annuities of the Young- Plan and for the one-third unconditional annuities as under the Hoover moratorium, continue to pay the marks which would be reloaned to the German railways in exchange for gold bonds of that very excellent transportation System. There would most likely be in any Lausanne achievement based on such a policy a statement indicating that it might become possible to make this moratorium on two-thirds of the Young plan payments a permanent relief of Germany on the condition that there were a similar scaling down or cancellation of war debts owing to the United States and to Great Britain. This seems to be the greatest hope in connection with the conference.

Starting as a small local bank in Halifax, it has moved steadily forward through booms and depressions since 1869. With 881 branch offices, it is today one of the great banking institutions of the world. TheRoyalBank of Canada ™, *74.1».U* TOTAL ASSETS OVER $750,000,000 General Sir Ian Hamilton, who won distinction in the world war, has been much impressed with the d thods of the U. S. army veterans in their occupation of Washington to enforce the granting of bonus claims to the extent of $2,250,000,000. When Sir Ian was discussing the matter congress was still hedging on the bonus bill, and he predicted the collapse of the United States povemment if the demands of the veterans were not met. although but a traction of the i claimants had even smelled powder on the western front. Picturing a march of British "Tom- j mies" on Westminster to enforce the meeting of a bonus demand Sir fIan .'•aid: "Have you hoard about the march of our American comrades on Washington to get a bonus. If I were to ask yon to march on Westminster for a bonus, you'd all In ugh, except the old Dardanellers and the South African veterans, who would weep to see me making such an ass of myself." -------------o—---------- W.
