It notes cabinet delays, signatures, and then outlines postwar reparations shares: France 52%, Britain 22%, Italy 10%, Belgium 5%, and Japan and Portugal 0.5% each, plus 61.2% for Serbia, Romania, and Poland, with Belgium receiving 2.5 billion marks priority.

In Rutland Vermont Governor Percival W Clement places personal liberty first and rejects any role in ratifying the federal woman suffrage amendment. The stance frames his approach despite potential honors for the state in a broader suffrage effort.
Governor Clement argues that fundamental law originates with the people and warns that eroding state autonomy risks lawlessness and revolution. He cites Vermont’s history as a separate state and cites the referendum process while opposing ratification pressure for federal amendments.
The governor urged amending the federal Constitution to require a people’s referendum on proposed amendments. He cited basic law resides in the consent of the peers and claimed duty to uphold the people’s rights. Messages of support poured in from national figures, though many in his state oppose him.
