PRESIDENT LOOKING FOR DEBT SOLUTION Meeting of Commission With |- British Cabinet Expeoted R to Further Plans. President Harding was represented 2t the White House yesterday as feel- Ang confident of the success of nego- tiations for the refunding of Great Britain's war debt to this govern- ment. % Frogress Is expected to be made, it was explained, through a meeting of the British debt commission with the Sablnet at London, and cabled advices to Ambassador Geddes here, with George Harvey, the American am- bassador at London, ready to confer with the British officials at any junc- ture. Col. Harvey was in Washing- ton during the negotiations’ here be- tween the two commissions and Is thoroughly conversant with the sit- uation. The President and the American debt commissioners were declared to believe that the counter proposition presented by the Americans, after the Sritish mission had outlined terms on behalf of its government, was sound and one that might have been accept- able to Congress. The firmness of the Americans in supporting their counter proposition was a contributing rea- son, it was believed, for the decision of the British to have cabinet con- sideration of the whole question be- fore proceeding further with the ne- gotiations. Should settlement be de- layed beyond the present session of Congress, ending March 3, it was ex- plained, there would be no extra ses- sion of the new Congress, on that ac- count.

THE EVEN ONSTREET ARRATE Senator McKellar Believes Next Congress Will Order Reduction of Fare. Senator McKellar of Tennessee is planning to continue his fight for a reduction of street gar fares in the District of Columbfa. His amend- ment, offered to the District appro- priation bill, which would have de- nied the Public Utilitles Comm!ssion any money until it had compelled the street raflway companies to return to the fares allowéd under their char- ters, was defeated, he Insists, merely on a technical point of order, and not on its merits. A majority of the Sen- ate, he said, would have supported the proposal had it been permitted to vote on it directly. The Senate has passed a bill per- mitting the street railway compa- nies here to merge, which I3 regard- ed as the first step necessary in bringing about better service and lower fares. This bill is now await- ing action in the House. Senator McKellar feels that the matter will be dealt with in the next Congress, even if there is nothing dune before the close of the present s<lon.

Calling attention to false Teport | Meeting at City Club Will Com- |charies w. that signing of a wage scale might be delayed for profiteering purposes, the Naticnal Coal Assoclation has i sued a statement, in part, as follow. “The wage agreement reached at New York between operators and miners of Tlinois, Indiana and Ohlo was preceded by only a few hours by & fraudulent statement, widely dis seminated, that a considerable num ber of coal producers were conniving | to prolong negotiations so as to stimulate public apprehension that there might be a strike on April 1 and thereby enhance the price of ‘spot' coal. “In connection, the National Coal Association wishes to point out that whatever public hostility to the coal dndustry exists is predicated largely upon just such false and mis- leading statements as these. The as- sumption that fear of a strike would cause panic prices for coal could have originated only In an uninformed imagination. The public memory I8 not o short that it cannot recall that for sixty days prior to the strike of last summer the coal market was at a very low ebb. During this period thousands of cars of coal were sold at less than the cost of production. During this pre-strike period, als: many mines were closed becau lack of orders for coal at any price. The beginning of the strike saw thou- sands of loaded cars on the tracks un- sold and with no buyers at prices that would even meet the production cost, much less yield a profit to the pro- ducers. “With that recent experlence in mind what assumption is there that the situation would be any different this spring? Certainly no sane coal producers would make such an un warranted calculation.” [ — When ants are happy, according to one of the best known students of ant life, they have a way of standing up and making little skips. which may correspond to our dancing. FOR$30,000 ON MONDAY plete Arrangements for Four- Day Campaign. Washington Boy Scouts will open thelr campaign for $30,000 at a dinner to be held at the City Club Monday evening. Rev. Dr. James E.

Orville B. Drown heads this group ot workers, which will be organized under military nomencla- ture as five battalions, with majors in charge of four companies each. Of the sum sought, $5.000 is for bullding a_scout cabin and equiping the new Wilson Boy Scout reserva- tion, Burnt Mills. in order that this blg scout playground of forty-five acres may be used to better advan- tage for the training of the thousands of youngstrs who make up the scout troops of the city. This plot of ground, known to the great majority of Washintonians because of its nat- ural beauty, and its fine swimming pool, was the gift of Robert S. Brook- ings to the scouts of the capital city two years ago. Thus far lack of funds has prevented any improve- menta except the bullding of a dam to impound the water for the swimming pool, which work was done last sum- mer by the scouts themseives, under the direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch, chairman of the camp committee.
