In an extensive apeech in the Sen- ate, in which he dwelt comprehen- sively with post-war conditions, the Oklahoma Senator suggested the fol- flowing proposals for American aid { in world rehabilitation: BY “1, That we should postpone the final payment of the World War dent in the United States by extending the payment over fifty years; that we should not for ten years collect any) amount under the sinking fund | “2, That in arranging ¢he payment of Europe's debt to the United States we should extend time to Europe necessary to enable them to readjust their affairs and regain their pro- ductive power and that we should not for ten years demand of them tthe payment of interest due, but al- low it to merge with the principal. “3. Dhat we should put the inter- Nest rate at 3 per cent. of Europe's debt to the United States.” Mr. Owen at the same time sub- mitted to the Senate a bill to amend athe Federal Reserve Act so that es- tablishment of the foreign banks would be possible, He proposed that the Buropean bank should be owned by the Reserve System of the United States und that from the twelve banks here it should draw a total ‘of $500,000,000 in gold as a reserve. * ‘This, he claimed, would in no way qmpair the reserves or resources of American institutions, yet it would enable the foreign banks to issue §2,- 600,000,000 in notes, backed up by gold as well as 100 per cent, commodity dills. q aes ; DAUGHERTY FINDS ] PRICES TOO HIGH $27.38 less than the amount requested in the budget and $17,770,591 less than the total for the current fi year.
