Sen. OWEN WARNS
OF MONEY MATTERS
SAYS EUROPE is NOT ON GOLD
BASIS BUT is INITIATING
CURRENCY.
SHOULD HAVE AGREEMENT
The Oklahoma Senator Returned Re-
Gently From a Two Months Trip
To Europe Where He Studied
Conditions.

Washington. - Senator Owen ~
Oklahoma, chairman of the Banking
and Currency Committee at the last
Senate. in statement warned
against continued currency imitation
by Europea countries and urged the
making Of an international agreement
regulating the per capital circulation
of mony among the nations OF the
world. The Oklahoma senator re-
turned recently from two months
trip to Europe, where he studied
financial conditions growing out or
the war.
Europe has not observed the les
son which was taught the people OF
the United States by the Civil war,
Senator Owen said. land they are no
longer on a true gold basis in Ed-
rope. Issuing currency to pay gov
ernment debt without a gold cover
and without keeping the notes freely
exchangeabIe in gold. is direct route
to economic and financial injury.
"An internatioal agreement should
be established by which the per cap
tia circulation of money between ali
nations of the world could be more
eCuitably arranged in order that COM
modities may flow freely from one TO
the other, so that nations may pay
for commodities with commodities
produced at the same comparatively
level of cost.
France cannot compete with the
United States in foreign commerce
on equal terms if France has three
times the per capita circulation OF the
United States and Japan can compere
and will successfully compete WITH
other nations as long as her per capl-
ia circulation Il much lower than that
of the other nations"

PRESIDENT URGES
QUICKER ACTION
WILSON WARNS PREMIERS AND
OTHERS THAT WORLD is TIRED
OF LONG DELAYS.

Paris.-What is construed as a
warning that the world could not
long countenance further delay in
the adjustment of peace was deliy-
cred to the allied premises and mill
tary representatives of the associat-
ed powers by President Wilson.
1t is learned that at a late session
he arose during the conference TAX
ing place in Premier Clemenceaus
room at the French War Office and
solemnly assured the conferees OF
his belief that they should do all in
their power to bring together the
loose ends in the debate in an effort
to unite on peace terms upon which
the treaty might be presented to Ger
many.
IT is said that the president point
ed out frankly, thu delays that have
occurred in the work of making
peace. He declared that the world is
awaiting the conclusion of the task
of the conferences and that it has a
right TO expect early results.
The presidents appeal for an expe-
dited effort followed a long session
in whicn there had been more than
the usual oratory. It came at the
close OF day when financial experts
had been called before the president
and the premiers. They had explain
ed the different points of view that
had arisen during the consideration
of the question of reparation. Mill
tary experts had been consulted at
length regarding the disposition OF
the Saar valley, the left bank of the
Rhine, the problems of Danzig and
other questions in which strategic Is-
sues were involved.
President Wilson said that he was
willing to accept his share Of respon-
sibility for the peace conference de-
lays. He was careful to point out
that the slowness of the negotiations
was not due to any single country or
its representatives.
He declares emphatically, however,
that the time for talk was practically
finished ard that now was the time to
show results.
