LONDON, February 16.—The A quithian and Lloyd ‘George liberals urge that the league of nations ap- point a commission, on which the United States would be asked to have a representative, to study Germany's capacity to meet her reparations obli- gations. This proposal is to come before the house of commons next Monday in the form of a joint amendment to_the {address in reply to the speech from the throne. The amendment, which has been agreed upon by both liberal groups, requests the government to seek the assistance of the league in the present European situation and sion not only investigate Germany's capacity to pay, but also consider how the payments may best be made. In parliamentary circles the agree- ment is looked upon as a step toward a liberal fusion. EN.ALLENTOLEAVE i { Reported Slated for Diplomatic Post—Due to Retire Apnl 30.

The addition of the $78,000,000 to the wrong side of this vear's budget actually increases the present pros- pect of a deficit. Gen.
