- SCOPE OF WAR LOAN NEGOTIATION ASKED Secretary Mellon Will Be Re- quested to Examine Records and Report. The Senate finance committes, in ‘executive session, was understood to- day to have agreed to request Sec- retary Mellon to examine all records and advise the committee as to the ex- tent to which previous negotiations have committed the government In matters connected with allied war loans. At hearings which preceded the closed session, Mr. Mellon indicated that he had not read &1l the corre- to negotlations under the previous administration. He was again urging favorable action on the administration bill to clothe the ‘Treasury with blanket powers in loan matters. Senator Reed, demoorat, Missourl, questioned Mr. Mollon as to the extent to which he regarded the government as committed on deferment of inter- est payments, substitution of bonds and the like. The senator finally moved that the Secretary be request- ed formally to advise the committee on this peint, but Senator Wnllnn,l republican. Indiana, forced the dis- cussion behind closed doors, at which the decision to follow a less formal, Gourse was saikl to have been reached. Dissntisflied With Negotiation, Dissatisfaction with negotiations of the Wilson administration for refund- ing the ailied debts prompted Secre. tary Mellon's request for blanket au. thority in the transaction, he told the committee today. Theso negotiations were conducted by former Assistant Secretary Ratabone and by Mr. Blackett for the British treasury. The Secretary said he did not favor the Rathbone-Blackett plan because t would give us a lot of different inds of ~obligations from Great Britain and we could not make a good ob of it.” His conference with the ritish ambassador, on May 12, 1921 Mr. Mellon said, was held at the State Department after he had conferred with Secretary Hughes. “What did Ambassador Geddes say about extension of time for payment?” Senator Lu Follette, republican, Wis- consin, asked. “We did not go far,” the Secretary replied. “There were really no nego- tiations. It was just a_preliminary conference and it was the basis for future negotlation Asks if We Are Bound. Senator Reed, democrat, Missourl, referring to Secretary Mellon's letter to_the British ambassador of May 11, 1931, filed with the committes, asked whether he (Mr. Mellon) desired to molify his statements of yesterday that he felt bound by the arrange. ments made by the Wilson adminis- tration for deferment of interest. “T do not say whether morally we are bound until T have examined the documents ‘which I have not done- the Secretary replied. “I do not sce how, in the face of me‘ arrangement agreed upon. of which the foreign governments were advised of the deferment of interest payments, we could at this date change the arrangement, demand com- pound interest and insist upon inter- est payments before the date In 1933 vhich was agreed upon. In refunding I would consider it my duty to do that which was to the best interest of the government " When asked by 'Senator Simmons, democrat, North Carolina, whether he thought Secretary Houston had ex- ceeded his authority in postponing In- terest payments, Secretary mllon l'!" plied: Prefers Not to Answer. I “I prefer not to answer. If I haa authority I would not proceed upon that plan. It is cumbersome. I think a much better arr ement can be made for this government. Without authority from ! Congress we must proceed ‘upon the plans provided by previous acts. I do not consider it wise to be so restricted. With regard to deferred interest and fallure to re- quire compound interest, etc., I do not know what the negotiations would be 11 1 have examined all the papers.” Vould you favor substitution of reparation or ds of other allled nations, and wou you agreeé to pos: ponement of intefést accrued?’ asked iSenator Simmons. & “These questions are important in §determining whether you should jhave the authority you have asked.” “I have Mo expectation of accepting German bonds,” stated the Secretary. “So far as the question of interest is concerned I would expect to provide for the collection of all the interest jthat is legally due to the United iStates. T do not think we can do any- thing more. . _“My Iidea In negotiating is to say ithe ’won is 8o much and the interest " explained the Secretary, “and 1 do mot think there will be any objection to payment of interest or meeting of the full obligation.” Asked of His Authority. “Do you feel that yru have hor- ity to ‘defer interes: payments with nations able to pay?” asked Senator Watson. “There may be conditions where it ‘would be advisable to agree to defer- ment of interest,” replied the Becre- tary. “I would say 1 would undertake in every one of the cases to collect very dollar of the money due the nited States. and in the matter of interest I would insist upon pay- ment and would collect except only in those cases where it could be shown that by arrangements already made the governments claiming ferment were within their rights. The committee was forced into execu- tive session by the motion of Senator Reed that Secretary Mellon be requested to examine all documents bearing upon allied debts, and advise the committee as to the extent to which the United States is obligated, if at all, In the mat- ter of postponement of payment. Sen- ator Watson objected to consideration of the motion In open session. “Understanding Bindiag.” The ‘“‘understanding” reached the administration, deferring inter- est payments on loans made the United States to allled nations, will be binding upon the present administra- tion, Becretary Mellon sald terday. The Secretary, however, close the policy which he will pursue in making collections, and advised the committee he had reached no agtee- ment with any of the debtor nations on the subject. The present situation, which the Secretary called embarrassing, was caused by discussions in 1919 between former Assistant Secretary of the ‘Treasury Albert Rathbone and a Mr. Blackett, representing Great Britain, ‘with the resylt that the “undérstand- ing” was reduced to writtéh memo= randa. These conferences, the coin. mittee was informed, weré held after cre Glass and his successor, Da- vid 8 Houston, had decided there was authority in law for the deferment of interest payments. 2 e JOINS VIRGINJA FACULTY. $pecial Dispatch o The Star.

LODGE CRITICISES FARM EXPORT BILL Takes Stand Against Plans to Put Government Directly Into Business. ‘The Norr!s bill, creating the Farmers’ Export Financial Corporation, a gov- ernmental agency to buy and sell farm products, was criticized in the Senate teday by Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts, republican leader. Senator Lodge said that the establishment of the proposed corporation wou'!d put the United States directly into business. “1 think that the government should be taken out of business,” added Sena- tor Lodge. Denies Need of Hoth. He explained the difference between the proposed corporation and the ex- isting War Finance Corpo! on, saying that if there should be anything done along the line proposed in the Norris bill, it should be done under the War Finance Corporation. There Is no need for two corporations to do similar things in any event, Senator Lodge sald. i Senator Lodge said that he real- ized how severely agricultural inter- ests have suffered in this country re- cently because of the operation of economic forces. He sald that no leg- islation could prevent the operation of those forces, although legislation may mitigite the results. nder the proposed corporation. the United States would go into busi- ness itself, Senator Lodge said, and would have the right to sell to indi- viduals or to government, without any recourse to or advice from the State Department. “It 18 _a perilous hting,” id Sen- ator Lodge. “to have gentiemen with- out any knowledge of our foreign relations dealing__with governments outside of the United States.

Ship Off Long Island Said to Have Done Rushing Business. EW YORK, July 21.—Assertion that a floating bar was being oper. ated off Long Island outside the three-mile _limit Is .made by Brooklyn Eagle. According to that newspaper, & liquor-laden ship, dubbed the Flying Dutchman, nas made a third visit to waters near Montauk Point, dis- posed of 4,000 cases to craft that swarmed out from shore, and sailed back to the Bahamas. It was alleged that the liquor had been landed on New York and Connecticut shores, and that whatever might be said of the customers, the maritime bar- tender was within the law. Federal officials professed ignorance of the visiting ship, which was said to fly the Engish flag. FRANCE WILL ACT DESPITE BRITAIN (Continued from First Page.) Upper Silesia. The French note, it 18 intimated, will be a diplomatic argu ment, with the object of proving that the forces now in -Silesia are totally insufficient to put down any impend- ing rising, evidence of which is not lacking, nor adequate to carry out the decisions of the supreme council. ‘When the council meets on the ques. tion, France probably will point ou that it is supported by the note of the allled commissioners to the council of ambassadors. Regarded Impossible. LONDON, July 21.—It is understood in officlal quarters that Great Britaln considers the dispatch of more troops to Upper Sile: unnecessary and im- possible, and that all the facts avith regard to Silesia already are avall- able for the supreme council. At the same time it is hela to be unneces sary, to summoa, a committge of ex- perts, as has beén ausw;ulul. to pass judgment on the question ef the 8i- lesian boundary. Lord Curzon the secretary for for- elgn affairs, recently sent a mnote to Paris suggesting that a meeting of the supreme council be held in Bou- logne, July 28. Prior to the dispatch of this note it is understood Lord Cur- zon held a conference with the French ambassador here with regard to Si- lesia and other matters pressing for solution by the supreme council, and that the foreign secretary outlined the necessity for a meeting of the coun- cil before the end of July, especially as Premier Lloyd George might not be avallable if a later date were chosen, as he possibly would then be in Washington attending the dis- armament_conference. “Silesia has shoved every other in- ternational topic _into back- ground,” it was said in a usually well informed quarter. “It is the one gques- tion_receiving the consideration of the European governmental heads. All are profoundly fearful of the conse- quences—if the match is touched it is impossible to say where the flame will extend.” U. 8. NOT TO INTERFERE. Upper Silesian Situation Not Re- garded as Changed. Changes in the Upper Silesian situa- tion have not been so marked as to cause the United States government to consider intervention. The informal suggestions which it was reported in London had been made that the United States intervene have not reached the State Department, but it was clearly indicated that they would not be likely to alter the administration’s polic; When Ambassador Harvey was designated as the American repre- sentative on the council of ambassa- dors he is understood to have been instructed not to take a part other than that of an ebserver when Sileslan affairs were discussed. The United States government explained inform- ally that it could not be expected to join in discussion of questions that were peculiarly European, and, it was indicated, the Sileslan question was regarded as falling within that cate- gory. It was lu{!'eltefl. however, that it might possibly assume a eharacter that would cause the United States to regard it as one warranting American attention, but recent reports from S} lesia and from Buropean capital have not convinced the United State: officials that it is anything but a European problem.

About all the apparent damage resulting, however, was to the upper decks and superstructures immediately around the spots where the projectiles struck. Only four of the bombs landing on board exploded. two of 220 pounds éach, one of 520 pounds and one of 600 pounds, the kind tha: sent down the light cruiser Frankfurt last Mon- day. The 600-pound “live” bomb, launched by an Army Martin plane, struck at a coal chute on the forward deck of the right of the bridge near a gun turret, tearing a big hole in the upper deck and going through to the protective deck, which, however, was declared to be undamaged. No Damage Below Water. The 620-pound bomb, dropped by a Navy F-6-L, struck on’ the after deck near a twelve-inch gun turret and in exploding tore through the deck. It did some minor damage to part of the superstructure nearby. The two 230-pounders which defonated hit within a few feet of each other on the upper deck just aft of the smoke- stacks. One charred the wooden cov: ering of the upper deck and the other ripped up the wooden decking for a short distance. | The big bombs exploding on the decks wrought no such havoc to the superstructure as did bombs of simi- lar size dropped on the Frankfurt. s was accounted for, naval offi- cers sald, by the heavier ‘construction on the Ostfriesland. Presumably it was for the same reason that the big bombs exploding close alnogside the target failed to open up her seams. Members of the official obsery- ing board sald after an examination that the vessel was not leaking and that her vital parts, including guns, were undamaged. Those witnessing the work of the aviators included Secretaries Denby of the Navy Department; Weeks of the War Department, and Walilace of the Department of Agriculture; A sistant Secretary Roosevelt of the Navy.
