FOREIGN DEBT BILL PASSED BY HOUSE Creates Commission With Full Power—Congress Right | of Review Rejected. The Fordney refunding bill was passed by the House late yesterday. This calls for the creation of a com- mission, headed by the Secretary of the Treasury, with full authority to refund war debts of foreign nations due the United States and amounting to $10,000,000,000. The House passed this measure by a vote of 199 to 117, and sent it to the Senate, after rejecting a proposal that Congress should have the right to review. Early concurrence by the Senate 13 forecast. All Amendments Rejected. First to be defeated was a proposal by Representative Frear of Wiscon- sin, a republican member of the ways and means committee, providing that forelgn nations indebted to the Unit- ed States be required to pay a rate of interest averaging 5 per cent.] Later the amendment by Representa- tive Colller, Mississippl, democratic lgember of the committee leading the Tight for changes, to require con- gressional review or approval of claims settlements was defeated, 117 10 71, on a rising vote, and 135 to 98, when members marched through the alsle for a man-to-man count. It was this same proposal, embraced in a motion to recommit, that was put to the House for a recorded vote later, and defeated, 185 to 131. Amendments.flew in from all sides, all being rejected. One by Repre- sentative Tingham, republican, Mas. | sachusetts, to prevent extension of time for payment of interest beyond 1wo years, went down in a shout of noes. . Fish Plan Thrown Out. _Toward the last Representative Fish. republican, New York, stépped to the front with an amendment that interest payments be used toward a bonus for former service men. It was _thrown out on a point of order by Chairman Fordney, who express- ed the hope that Congress at the regular session beginning in Decem- ber would vote for the bonus. Chairman Fordney and Represen- tative Mondell of Wyoming, the re- publican lcader, opposed the Frear | amendment, the latter declaring all questions of interest amounts should be left to the discretion of the com- mission and the President. Sounds Note of Warning. Urging approval by Congress of acts of the commission, Representa- tive Garrett of Tennessee, acting democratic leader, sounded a note of warning. “In these debts now due the United States,” he said, “there probably lies the germ of more difficulties, dissen- slons, differencés and irritation for the future than anything that has over arisen In the history of the country. There is no debt between individuals, there is no world court to which we can go to enforce our rights as individuals can go. There is but one way that this indebtedness ultimately can be collected, unless the nation voluntarily pays it, and that is by war.” Proposing review by Congress and the fixing of interest rates, Repre- sentative Burton, republican, Ohio, urged against the driving of hard bargains or any step likely to throw suspicion or mistrust on friendly na- ! tions soon to participate in the con- | ference for limitation of armament by demanding a rate “unprecedented- ly high.” —_— PLAN FOR UNIFICATION OF METHODIST CHURCHES Northern Branch to Submit Pro- gram to Southern for Ap- proval.

A New Sense of Freedom E In Cantilever Shoes you walk with a new sense of freedom, a new | lilting step, a new rhythmic swing | of the weight from one foot to the other. Gone is the vise-like re- striction of stiff soles, gone is the weariness due to distorted feet and poor posture, gone are the aches and pains of fallen arches. Health and comfort walk in the Cantilever Shoe. The last is patterned from the outline of the foot. The natural inner sole line provides room for the toes and allows them to point straight ahead. This and the well- set heel encourage correet pos- ture. In Cantilevers the weight is distributed so that there is no strain on the arch of the foot. And the shank of the shoe flexes! With every step the shoe yields with the foot. The muscles have free play, they exercise and grow strong. Cantilevers correct and prevent flat foot because they strengthen the muscles that sur- round and uphold the small bones of the arch.
