The proposal is embodied in an amendment to the naval! appropriations bill which is to come before the senate tomorrow. A large part of the Republican meniberomp and a number of Demo- ciats are understood to be against the Borah amendment in its present form. The views of President Hard: ing, Secretary Hughes and other ad- ministration officials have been aought, but senators who have talked \% with them will nat disclose what op inions were expressed. Senator Lodge the senate leader, was said to oppose the amendment as it stands, although hé and other administration support- ers it was said, might be willing to give it thelr support if it were lim- Sted in scope. ‘Thos? who want to see the lang: uage of the proposal changed include Senators Curtis of Kansas, assistant Republican leader, Smoot of Utah and Watso nof Indiana.

H Senator Smoot's view in that such a conference as proposed by Senator Borah would be impractical. “Europe's ctdef alm, frankly an- nounced, is cancellation of her debts to America,” sald Senator Smoot, a member of the allied debt commission. “This the American poople will never consent to. The debt forgivences question would be the principal Eu ripe ~woutt desire to present. Its pre s'mtation ot consideration would be useless.” A compromiss on the for mof t amendment is regarded by the lead- ers as not impossible, since Senator Borah bas expressed himself as will- ing to acpept a change which would | | define the scope of the conference. He believes however, that President Harding, if he should call such a con- ference, would prescribe its program, TGmorrow's debate. is exported to bring forth definite compromise pro- posals after the senate has heard the views of eShators Locge, Borah, Johnson, California and others.
