Inc. KAHN SAYS ALLIES Plan Proposed in Letter to Senator Smoot of Debt Commission. By tho Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 26.—Otto H. Kahn, benker.-in a letter to Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, member of the debt refunding made public by the committee of men, has outlined a plan whereby he bélieves America can ccnsistently aid toward reliev- ing the European situation and at the same time meet the senti- ment of the coun- try, which seems opposed to the cancellation of the allied indebted- iness to the United Stat Mr. Kahn expressed himself as be- jcanceling at least a portion of: the T am our ultimate advantage to do 50,” ‘I feel sure that sych action uld turn out a good investment. “But if public opinion and Congress will not at present consent to the re- linquishment on our part of a por- tion of the allied debt” the letter continued, “which relinquishment, be it understood, is suggested omly in return for, and simultaneously with, measures on the part of the European nations to bring about that change of mental and moral attitude and ac- tual conditions which is indispensable \f the world again is to be on an even keel, then my suggestion would be the followin Portion for Payment. “Of the two and three-qu {dollars, or thereabouts, which our gov. {ernment loaned to the allied nations after the armistice. that portion, at least, as was not applied to the settle- ment of war contracts here, or is offset by valid courterclaim, is intrinsically distinguishable from the balance of the allied debt to us. It should be promptly put in the way of repayment, with a reasonate rate of interest. For in- stance, America might stipulate inter- est at the rate of 3 per cent or 3% per cent, and an annual sinking fund of 1 per cent, beginig after, say, five years. The refunding commission cught to be empowered, according to its judgment, to postpone the beginning of interest payment likewise for five years. to the remaining seven and one- quarter billion dollars, or thereabouts, there should be no attempt to appl the same formula to every country. The {refunding commission should go thor- oughly into the economic and financial all countries a fair and fina? to the approval of | settleme | Congres : Sven upon America’s. financiaily imost potent debtor. Great Britain she should not impose the exceed. ingly heavy burden of paying 41 per cent interest from the start and redeeming the principal within twenty-five years. I would suggest in the case of that country, as an illustration, that there be paid an annual sinking fund of three-quarters of 1 per cent. Such a sinking fund if invested at the rate of 4 per cent would extinguish the debt in forty: soven years " In addition to the mink- ng fund of three-quarters of 1 per coe MTnterast | shouls be charged on |(he debt at the rate of say, 2 per ceat for the first period of eight years, 21 per cent for the second, l\. per cent for the third, 314 per |cent for the fourth, 4 per cent for {the fifth and 413 per cent for the ifinal seven years' period. { Similar in French Case. I similar formula might be ap- | |pl|Pd in the case of France, making | the sinking fund one-half of 1 per cent only, which, if invested at the rate of 4 per cent would extinguish the debt in fifty-six years and e:.r:a a purely nominal rate of interest, or perhaps no interest at all, for the first eight years' period. The rates of h\teun for further periods might be made even more moderate ma.n those .“%'h ested in the case of England, e question of the feasibility, ae- ceptabllity and extent of ‘paym lt ln kind’ in lieu of cash, should aiso be within the purview of the commis. sion’s investigations and recommen. dationt Mr. Kahn wrote he belleved the United States should be officially rep- regented on the reparations commis- sion. ‘Our government,” he added, “should |allo take official part in the work of other commissions of a similar char- acter, destined to settle controversial questions and aid the recuperation of Europe.

An increase in the number of police- men is needed more urgentiy than addi- | tional regulations to improve traffic con- | ditions in Washington, Commissioner Oyster, who supervises the traffic bu- reau, declared today. “We have a good set of regulatfons | here,” the Commissioner said, “if we only had an adequate number of men to enforce them.” - The police department, however, can- not very well ask for a large increase in personnel at this time because of the fact that more than a score of vacan- cles still exist on the force. The budget bureau recommended an increase of five imen In the estimates for the next fiscal year. Needed for New Station. Those men, if provided for, will be needed to help man the new twelfth precinct station, soon to be built near 17th street and Rhode Island avenue northeast. The present vacancles in the fory "e were éreated a few months ago, whi Conyress enacted the law establishing a special police force for the White House. Practically all of the men then stationed at the Executive Mansion from the local department were taken over in forming this independent souad. The fact that those places in Maj s department have not bean filled does npt mean that men are not interested in becoming policemen.

Willlam P. Eno, chairman of the committee named by the Commission- ers to prepare a comprehensive pla: for improving traffio conditions, stat today that he would not discuss the possible aims of the committee until the first meeting has been held, prob- ably next week. Ham Open-Minded. William F. Ham, president of the Washington Railway and Electric Company and the revresentative of ; the safety council on the Comm ioners’ committee, declared toda that he has an open mind on the ques- tion of whether ski-stops for street jcars should be abolished. This is one of the matters the Com- missioners have advised the new com- ittee to look into. “That is a complicated question,” said Mr. Ham, “involving the com- fort of car riders and the movement of vehicular traffic, and I would pre- fer to listen to arguments from all viewpoints before forming conclu- slons. It may be that the street car loading platforms will become in- volved in the discussion.” Aside from skip-stops! downtown parking of automobiles probably will be one of the most important sub- jects to be considered by the traffic committee. MAIL EARLY DRIVE ~ PROVES SUGEESS {“Peak” Occurs Two Days | Earlier and P. 0. Cleaned ‘ Out on Christmas. To the Editor of The Star. Permit me to express through your columns my thanks to the patrons of the Washington city post office for their splendid co- operation In mailing their pack ages and cards carly. We hav. noticed in the past two or three years that the people of Wash- ington respoud in greater number each season to our plea to mail early for Christmas, but at no time before have the statistics of mail matter received from local | | sources shown such a decided | | trend toward a general observ- | ! ance of our request. | I wish also to pay tribute to the remarkable achievement of the employes of the city post office in clearing the office of all outgoing mall by Sunday morn- ing and getting out on the street all incoming mall re- ceived up to early this morn- ing. I cannot speak 0o highly 1 | of the clerks and carriers who ! | have been laboring long hours | | for the past two weeks to the end that the people of Wash- ington ‘might have a happy Christmas. l O. CH. Postmaster. Postmaster Chance today thanked the people of Washington for their “splendid co-operation” in malling their Christmas packageg and cards early. The “peak” of the outgoing parcel mail this season was moved up two days over last vear, official statistics complled by the Washington city post office for the Post Office Depart- iment today showed. of heaviest mailing, Post- hance pointed out, were De- {cember 15, 19 and 20, thiv year, as| ted with December 20, 21 and t vear. Packages Up 7 Per Cent. During the ten days, December 15 to 25, just ended more than 176,269 large parcels were delivered here, in addition to countless small packages delivered by regular carrier. This number was & 7 per cent in- erease over the total of 165,008 large iparcels delivered last year from De- cember 15 to 25. Letter mail showed a 2.6 per cent increase, 8,205,695 yetters being can- celed at'the local office from Decem- ber 15 to 25, as compared with 7,993,- 301 letters canceled during the period December 15 to 25, 1921. i Mail Al Cleared Out. Postmaster Chance particularly called attention today to the achieve- | | ment of the emploves of the city post | !ofice, who cleared the office of all ncoming and outgoing mail vester- ! day, so that every parcel or letter lhumlgly possible to deliver was de- red. Some of the trains from the west are running late, it was declared to day, and for thi be delivered through- ous Washington today.
