Oct. 17.—The British iforelgifOfflco is concentrating its attention on the comprehensive proposals made by Premier Smuts for settling the reparations prob- lem and tho reconstruction of Eur- ope to some basis of security. Premier Smuts in his statement emphasizes the necessity of appron chlng this question primarily from a psychological standpoint by stu- dying the German mind and basing all the plans on the probable reoc- tlon of German mentality. This ex- plains the recommendation of the scheme fathered by the League of Nations which was so successful in the case of Austria. Premier Smuts believes the on- forcement of all claims should be taken out oi‘ the hands of the Al- lies and placed with a committee of the league for he thinks if this was done the German attitude would at once undergo a great change. There is evidence that both Mac- Kenzlc King and Premier Bruce are supporting the plan oi the South African. The proposals would in no wily interfere with the plan proposed by Belgium for it reconsideration of the entire reparations problem by a commission appointed for the purpose under the Versalllesftreli- ty.

Criticism is dir- acted in financial circles against that part of the scheme by which the debtor nation will be complett- ed to make payments before its position is stabilized and this is generally regarded in London as putting the car before the horse.

He told the assembled traffic men that while Canada now has govern- ment ownership‘ the government does not operate the roads but leav es their management in the hands of a Board of Directors who are railroad men. The head of the Canadian Ns- tional system said that one of the more important phases of the rall- rond industry in the United States and Canada was the attitude of the employees of the roads "to whose temperament and welfare those wielding power in the great industries often give too little thought.” “While ' the success of every large industry depends largely up- on the treatment of the workers even our universities do very little to inspire students with a desire to understand the psychology of the workers."
