WASHINGTON is
MOST CONFIDENT

Washington, Dec. 1.-The state de-
partment is awaiting with quiet con-
fidence the response of the Entente
governments to its presentation of the
reasons why Count Tarnowski, the
newly appointed Austrian ambassador
and his suite, should be given safe
conduct on his mission to the United
States.
Although the department did not
make a specific request for such a safe
conduct, preferring to point out what is
regarded as an international right ra-
Their than to appear as seeking a favor,
1t was felt that the position taken by
the British government when it sought
and secured the release of the Confed-
crate Commission seized by the United
Statse during the civil war would make
1t impossible for that government par
ticularly to attempt to deny the right
of a neutral state to maintain full and
free diplomatic relations with a bellig-
erent state.
1t is assumed, however, that Great
Britain may base its acquiescence in
this case on a desire to accommodate
a friendly neutral state without COM
hitting herself specifically to a recog-
milton of the right Of free movements
on the high seas of diplomatic repre-
sentatives Of a belligerent.

payable in dollars in New York, has
never been an essential part OF the
allied governments financial plans,
but has for some time been under
consideration with view to furnish
ing a credit medium that would ac-
commodate the American banking de-
mands for an instrument of short ma
turity and of such limited volume that
the government could always UNDER
take to lay down gold in New York
sufficient to meet the matured bills.
1T was believed further that these
bills would have furnished at the end
of the war an excellent measure Of
protection to the American financial
situations, inasmuch as these steadily
maturing obligations of the foreign
governments would have tended to
prevent heavy drafts Of gold from this
market"
An informal statement was made by
a member of the Morgan Co. that no
other financial plans have been form
ulated in place of the ones abandoned.
