The committee, however, impressed with the importance of the subject under consideration, rather than report immediately that no loan was possible under the terms of the reference, asked the reparations com- mission to define exactly the terms of reference. An answer was received which was only supported by three of the four members of the repara- tions commission, the French mem- ber dissenting, to the effect that the committee should discuss all ques- tions which might ha a bearing upon the general re-establishment of Germany's external credit. “In the meantime, official state- ments had been made in Paris to the effect that the bankers' commit- jte> was attempting to decrease the amount of the German obligation to tre reparations commission and that this could not be tolerated by the French government.

By the Associated Press. QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, June 10.— The steamship President Garfield, with an Irish tri-color at masthead, arrived at Queenstown today on her maiden trip. She brought a party of Irish-Americans, the organizer of Which was Father Michae! O'Sulltvan, pastor of St. Bridget's Church of Chi- cago. In an interview soon after landing, Father O'Sullivan said: “All thinking Americans unhesitat- ingly affirm that the Anglo-Irish treaty should be worked for Ireland's benefit in the hope that it will prove to0 be a step to better things. It Is the rabble and the irresponsible who suggest otherwise. They are of little or no account just now on this vital matter to Ireland.

Nelther Condition Met. “I do not need to enlarge upon this, as it is fully stated in the pub- lished report of the committee to the commission. “In_view of the foregoing I am forced to the reluctant conclusion that neither of the conditions stated above, which I believe to be essential to & loan to Germany, could be com- plied with and that no loan to Ger- many of the character necessary in the situation could be offered to and purchased by the American investor. As it was to advise on this point alone that I was invited to serve on the committee by the reparations commission, it was necessary for me to explain this fact to the commit- tee, as 1 am not competent and am therefore unwilling to advise on mat- ters which pertain solely to the Euro- pean governments. “I am now and shall continue to be ready to do everything in my power to assist in the solution of the problems which confront the economic life of Europe, but I be- lieve that in so far as such problems depend for their solution upon an international loan to Germany, In which the American investor would take part, the solution is not possible without & general settlement of the reparations question and only as a part of such settlement. Undoubt- edly, & settlement of this question involves the consideration and ar- rangement of many other questions which must be settled between the governments in order to arrive at the unanimity required for the first condition of a loan. “I shall, of course, as I have stated to the reparations commission, be ready at any time to return and do anything in my power when condl- tions permit and the commission may so desire.” LOWEST BID $19,245,695. 20-Year Lease Offered for New York Parcel Post Quarters.

PARIS, June 10.—The International repasations commfasion, after recit- ing the commission’s original instruc- tions and quoting the texts of the | bankers' question and the commis- sion's reply regarding the enlarge- ment of the scope of its work, gives the committee’'s views under the heading “The position of the co mittee in relation to the commission. The report then continues: “On recelpt of this reply, indlcating that the chlef creditor of Germany aid not desire that any recommenda- tion should be made which would in- volve the possibility of new limita- tions on Gérmany’s obligations, the committee decided that they could not usefully fo rthe time being con- tinue their inquiries, and that they ought therefore to confine themselves to furnishing a reply to the question originally addressed to them, taken in its more restrictiye sense, and at the same time give their reasons for this decision. At the outset the committee de- sires to make their own position clear beyond the possibility of misconcep- tion. The members of the committee were invited by the unanimous deci- slon of the reparations commission to come to Paris in order that they might give technlical advice as bank- jers on the conditions. under which an external loan could be raised by Germany. At no time have they had | the wish to usurp wider functions. Advice Only One Factor. “They fully realized throughout that their technical advice once given would constitute but one factor in the problem which has to be solved by ‘the reparations commission and by the allled governments alone. As soon as they met the bankers on the committee were unanimous in their opinion that for various reasons they could not within the limits of their terms of reference, understood In their more restrictive sense, offer any spect of an external loan. ‘ertain members, however, were of the opinion that if the comimis- sion or the governments made a more definite statement than at pres- ent exists regarding annual pa ments which they intend to exact from Germany. such a loan could be favorably considered.’ Had they re- cefved a unanimous invitation to state what limitations of these pay- ments were in their opinion a neces- sary condition of - external credit, these members would have been glad to do so “Such limitations would, however, have been recommended only as con- ditions of a loan—only a loan—were desired. They would have implied no view as to the amounts which the commission could or should en- force if the governments were con- tent to wait for the annual pay- ments without mobilizing them be- forehand by a loan. Only Payments Considered. “The commission or governments, even it they had considered the opin- fon of the committee to be a sound one, would nevertheless have been perfectly free to decide that they preferred to continue to ‘consider from year to vear the capacity of Germany and to determine the pay- ments accordingly. “In other words, any figures men- tioned would necessarily have rep- resented opinion not as to the prob- able maximum capacity of Germany, but as to sums which the lending public of the world, forming its judgment amid all the perplexities of the present situation, would con- fidently believe would be well within Germany's capacity. “Payments even so cautfously esti- mated would still be very consider- able. The committee recognizes that the allied governments might never- theless desire, even at the cost of foregoing the loan, to return full liberty to exact larger annual sums, which Germany's developing capacity might later render possible. The governments would not only have been at full liberty to take such a decision, but if taken, it would have been in no way inconsistent with the technical advice of the committee. Reasons for Adjournment. “If this advice had been given, how- ever, a decision could have been tak- en In the light of clearly presented alternatives. In these eircumstan- ces the committee were left to con- sider whether they could usefully continue their studies in responce to thé majority invitation of the com- mission. They decided that for the time being they could not do so, for the following reasons: “(1) Francee |s Germany's chief creditor in any reparations problem and her interests are the most impor- tant factor. The members of the com- mittee had hopes that the chief bene- fit of any advice they could have given would have beer. derived by France; they are ali extremely anxious that no action of theirs should injure her interests. 1, therefore, France does not now de- sire any Inquiry into the more gen- eral conditions necessary for the re- establishment of Germany’'s external credit, the committee does not feel justified in undertaking such inquiry. They are confirmed in this view by the consideration that in the existing circumstances they could not have profited by the assistance of their French colleagues. *(2) As explained below, the com- mittee considers that a favorable atmosphere is essentlal to successful flotations of a loan. The known dif- ferences of view among the members of the committee as to the limit of the committee’s mandate have for the time being created an atmosphere unfavorable to such an issue. The bankers on the committee cannot fall to take into account this fact, being aware that if they advise as to the conditions of a loan they incur moral responsibility to do all in their power to make the loan successful. Decide to Suspend Work. “For the above reasons the com- mittee decided that they must sus- pend their work for the present, feeling that they were thus unable to take advantage of the majority invitation of the commission to ex- tend the scope of their deliberation: The committee considered the prob- lem presented under the original mandate as it was understood in its more restricted sense. “On the assumption that the pres- ent provisions o sailles and the schedule ments remain unchanged, is an ex- ternal loan possible, and, if so, under what conditions? The cominittee were controned with the following diffi- culties: “(a) It was understood that the re-establishment of the general credit of Germany is impossible s0 long as the lending public feel no assurance that the obligations of Ger- many, as they are at present de- fined and as they may be enforced, are within her capacity or that her will and Intenion to meet them will be maintained. So long as this is the position, an_investor is bound to be influenced by the possibility that a collapse of German finance resulting from present uncertainty may produce & social upheav: It s, however, dificult to find securi- ties which under such canditions would be regarded as & satisfy guarantee for a loan, or, at least, for ny loan of such dimensions, and for such terms as to give substantialre- lef to th tuation. Security Might Fail. “Even first-class security like the customrs, which under- staple con- ditions would provide a sound guar- antee for a considerable loan, might fall to retain sufficient gold lue if the economic position of Germany or her socia} conditions were seri- ously disorganized. Such possibilities may be remote, but thé investor in a long dated note naturally tends o the worst rather than tions problem. And It is obvious that even if a loan could be raised on the basis of assigned securities, rather than on the basis of Ger- many’s general credit, it could at best do no more than assure a short respite, and thereafter Germany would’ he faced with her undim- Inished reparation obll?‘l!loni. with the further handicap that her best securities would have been already mortgeged for the service of a loan. “In_ the meantime both Germany and the rest of the world would have been suffering from continued’ u certalnty, which in svery country ls a scrious obatacle to economic re- covery. Thus, even if such a loan were possible it would represent at bert the payment of a heavy price merely in order to await for vondi- ticns which might be more favor- able for a general settlement. Allted Investors Injured. “(c) It was also stated that in- vestors in countries which took no part_in the war were suftering se- verely from the depreciation of the mark, partly because they had in- vested heavily in marks and partly because the commercial competition of German industry derived artificial advantage from this continued depre- ciation, and it was stated that in these circumstances they also would teel no interest in a loan which of- fered no prospect of * establishing Germany’'s finances on a stable foun- dation. “(d) Again as regards France, it was stated that a limited loan would encounter great difficulties, since only a small proportion of it could at hest return directly to France as reparation. Realizing these and oth- er dificullies and feeling that they ought not to recommend a loan of which they could not confidently an- ticipate . successful return in their respective markets, the members of the committee have with great re- gret arrived at the conclusion that under the present conditions they cannot advise that an external loan is feasible. General Observations Added. “Having regard, however, to this negative conclusion, the committee, while feeling unable to accept the majority invitation of the commlis- sion to examine in detail the wider problem, consider that they may use- fully add the following general ob- servations upon it: “(a) An essential condition of an external loan at any time is thai the public_should feel that Germany fis herself making a real and substantial effort to place her public finances upon a stable basis. It is of the greatest importance that, through the. tech- nical security to be given by Germany in the rehabllitation of her financial situation, she should clearly show a desire to meet her obligations, in the hope that by the fulfillment of these obligations she will re-establish her credir. “(b) A second essential condition is that dealt with in detall above, viz., removal of the present uncertainty regarding reparation obligations. “(c) The committee had before them the statement that American bankers and investors could in these circumstances be interested In a sub- stantial degree In the purchase of German obligations, but only if one further fundamental condition was satisfied, namely, that such a loan should be at the unanimous request and for the benefit of the allied na- tions. This unanimity could be in no way better expressed than by the active co-operation of the bankers of the allied and neutral countries in the distribution of securities to their own nationals. American Participation. “Among the fundamental conditions of American participation, therefore, was unanimity among the lenders as well as the establishment of the credit of the borrower. *“(d) Most of the members of the committee are well aware that any advice of theirs, while it might have assisted, could not In itself ve se- cured these conditions. ~They fully realize, for example, that if they rec: ommend as an essential condition of a loan a limitation of Germany’s an- nual payments. the countries con- cerned in consldering the effect on their financial situation would neces- sarily have in mind their own exter- nal indebtedness. They realize that a solution, however, desirable in itself, might in fact prove to be imprac- ticable unless it were preliminary to other financial adjustments. “The element of uncertainty, which accentuates the burden of Germany's obligations, is also a serious factor in_ the case of the external public debts of the allied countries. In this connection the committee desire to re- call that in considering the conditions of the re-establishment of Germany's general credit they regard certainty as essential; mere leniency in enforce- ment, such as the commission may show, without modifying the total ob- ligation is not sufficient. “Such questions, however, as in- terallied indebtedness are outside their competence and cannot there- fore be discussed here. But the com- mittee can not ignore the fact that in the minds of those who consider any adjustments of reparation obli- gations they are bound to be discuss- ed and that they are among the fac- tors in the problem of securing that desirable allied agreement which they consider one of the essential condi- tions of a loan to Germany. Advice of Economists. “In this connection they have in mind the consistent principle con- tained in the advice of economists and financlal experts since the mem- orandum submitted on the fifteenth of January, 1920, to the governments of ‘the several European countries and the United States, principles which were accepted by the Brussels financial conference from September to October, 1920, and have recently been indorsed by the Genoa confer- ence of 1922. . “In _conclusion, if the committee telt obliged to be discouraging as to the prospects of a loan in the present position of Germany's credit, they de- sire to be no less emphatic in stat- ing their conviction that. provided necessary conditions for the revival of her credit can be realized, sub- stantial loans could be successfully flcated In all the main markets of the world." ¢ “Purely financial conditions are now definitely favorable to the issue of such loans, more favorable than at any time since the war. The com- mittee wish to assure the commission that it s their earnest desire to do everything in their power to assist in raising such loans if the condi- tions to which they have referred can bo secured. They are deeply con- siious of the immense assistance to the economic recovery of the whole world, which would be afforded by a gradual conversion of Germany's obligation from a debt to govern ments Into a debt to private inves- tors, based, like other public debts, not upon external sanctions, but upon the general credit of the debtor coun- try. They bellcve, indeed, that the resumption of normal conditions be- tween countries and the stabilization of exchges are impossible without 2 definite settlement of the repara- tion payments as of other external public debts. ‘Willing to Resume Work. “If at any time, therefore, the com- mission is able to repeat by unani- mous_decision the invitation which now has been extended by the ma- jority, the committee will be glad to meet again and resume the inquiry. They cannot conjecture whether the allied governments would be able to accept the necassary conditions. but, it g0, they repeat that they are hope- ful that substantial loans could be T | alsed. \ | “Finally, the committee desire to! point out that in the meantime, and even during the interval between such renewed iInvitation and thej conclusion of subsequent mmus-‘ tions, Germany’s financial position may obviously be threatened with serious danger; protracted negotia- tions for a I jong-term loan might mature too late, If not preceded by immediate help. But if the problem were consldered anew in the im- ved circumstances suggested and "'loth a real rwect of an ultimate ‘; it an.

Plans of the republican national committee to raise a campaign fund of $500,000 to create public sentiment favorable to the return of a republi- can Congress in the November elec- tion were detailed to President Hard- ing yesterday by Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the national committee. Raising of such a campalgn fund was finally decided on at thes meet- ing here Thursday of & number of rerublican leaders at the call of John T. Adams, chairman ¢f the national committee. Mr. Upham said on leaving the White House that the activity of the national committee in the com ing campaign would not be directed toward the clection of individuals, but would be devoted to “getting be- fore the pcople the real record of what Las been done congressionally since 1920." Republican plans with respect to the campaign' as formulated at the meeting here, together with the de- cision of party leaiers as o funds, furnished ~Senator Harrison, demo- crat, Mississippi, witah a theme for a speech in the Senate during the day. The meeting was said by Senator Harrison to indicate that republican leaders were “going out again to buy an election. McCormick Replies. Senator McCormick of Illinois, chairman of the republican senatorial campaign committee, replying to the Mississippi senator, sald participation in the meeting could constitute no offense against good citizenship. The Mississippi senator, continuing, said the voters were not forgetting the significance of the many White House dinners “and their possible connection with legislation, all of which may mean something toward perpetuation of the Harding politi- cal machine.” He added that eating at dinners such as the party heads had here during their conference “must cost several thousand dollars a plate.” “The sky is the limit on contribu- tions to the republican campaign fund again this year,” Mr. Harrison continued. nything big goes.

He predicted that by winter there would be few idle men in the country, “bcause the coun- try has assurance that the govern- ment will be properly run.’ Senator Harrison concluded the col- loquy by saying it appeared that the “genator from Illinols is nursing a sore toe” because he had been un- horsed from actual direction of the coming cammlgn.

Y., June 10.— While District Attorney Weeks and Sheriff Werner were perfecting plans for getting the father and brother of Walter S. Ward, who has confessed to killing Clarence Peters, before the grand jury next week, Maurice J. McCarthy, attorney for James J. Cun- ningham, who is held as a material witness, today got $2,500 ball for his client. Cunningham, who says he can un- ravel the Ward mystery, ciimbed into an automobile and was whisked away toward New York. Meanwhile, the sheriff, his deputies and the lone county detective, rein- forced by . private detectives, kept plugging away along the admittedly slender lines which have been opened to them Wide Searches Continued. They tried to find George S. Ward, father of Walter S. Ward, and one of the founders of the baking company which carries his name, but if they were successful they did not announce it. Sheriff Werner, as usual, stayed within hearing distance of his tele- phone, hoping momentarily to hear that the lost Rogers and Jackson, last heard of in Syracuse, have been brought back into the picture. The two deputies he sent upstate returned empty-handed but ffm in the belief that if the newspapers had not sent reporters”to meet them at the station they would have had thelr quarry. They even slipped back into Syracuse for a moment or two hoping Rogers and Jackson would return, but they found mo trace of their men. . Ward Given Mental Test. Sherift Werner said today that, un- der advice of physicians, he had tried a mental test on Ward, and that it had worked. He explained that when Ward was in his office, waiting for $50,000 bail to be produced recently. he ‘and Deputy Sheriff Maudlin had placed a picture of the victim of the shooting in front of the prisoner, and had_gone from the room. “We tried it twice,” said the sheriff, “and both times, when we returned, the picture was turned upside down. That won't help us solve the case, but it makes us believe we are on the right track.” The sheriff’s assistants are trving to locate a man who rode from ‘White Plains to Kensico the night of the murder, holding precariously to the spare tire on the rear of an en- closed automobile. 86 far, neither the automobile nor the man have been found, but a couple has been found who followed the macki the reservoir, where Peters was Kkilled. They told of the mysterious man. RACING AUTO PLUNGES INTO CROWD; 9 HURT By the Associated Press.
