HIGH PRICE ERA?
Senators Charge Bankers Plan

Say World Finance Program
Would Be Huge Trust.

Washington, June IAN era of
high prices such as the United States
has never seen would result from
adoption of the plan of the world
financing outlined to the senate for
eign relations committee by Wall
street bankers. senators opposing the
league of nations predicted today
They declared the frank statements
of Morgan, Nanderlip and Dawson in
the treaty leak" investigation showed
that Wall street plans the formation
of the greatest trust in history to be
underwritten by the United States
government and to control not only
the country's money but the industry
as never before.
Would Mean High Prices,
The inevitable result of putting into
Wall streets grip the whole country'S
financial and industrial resources.
these senators said. would be the ele-
waiting senators of practically every
thing the people of this country use
High prices, it was declared, would
be justified" on the ground that Eu-
ropes needs for raw materials, ma
chinery and other American products
causes shortages in this country. a-
League as Guarantee?
League opponents believe the finan-
ciers' statements to the committee are
III SlIeCL IOLlce 10 the senate tnat wall
street wants the league of nations as
medium thru which it's world
financing plan may be carried out
with q guarantee against loss.
Senators asserted that the league
can be used to create profits for the
money barons by declaring necessity
exists in some countries for American
financial aid
They are preparing to use the leak
investigation testimony freely in
speeches to be delivered in the senate
in opposition to the league.
The leagues friends today said the
leak inquiry showed clearly that SEN
ator> Borah's charge that New York in
terests having "a peculiar interest in
the peace treaty had obtained it were
groundless and that the bringing OF
the text to this country by H. p Da-
vison, partner of j. p Morgan. and
head of the international Red Cross,
was entirely proper.
1t is undetermined whether the in
vestigation will go any further.
Knox Denies Charges. %
The foreign relations committee To-
day at a special meeting took up the
Knox resolution for a reservation
on the league of nations.
Knox planned to point out to the
committee that administration charges
that his measure is a plan to separate
the treaty and covenant are untrue
Knox maintains that separation of the
| two involves amendment of the treaty
which would require it to be submit
ted again to the peace conference. His
plan, he said, will not entail this, and
| will, therefore, not delay the operation
| of the peace settlement.
