hensive Scheme.
FURTHER CREDITS FOR ALLIES
Committee of French, British, and
Italian Bankers to Confer on SUBJ
Ject With Representative Of
American interests.

Washington, July 24.-If President
Wilson is planning to send message
to congress along the lines forecast
by Louis Albert in dispatches from
Paris he has not mentioned 1t to his
closest associates, it was stated in
White House circles. In sources close
to the White House the belief was ex-
pressed that the president had no such
intention.
Paris, July 24.-Writing in Figaro,
Louis ALBERT, eminent French finan-
cial expert, forecasts that President
Wilson will send message to the
American congress recommending
plans that will enable the allies to
liquidate their debts to the United
States and secure further credits from
that country.
NJ. Aubert's important, statements
on international finance followed an
interview which he held with J. P.
Morgan. Although the French expert
did not mention Mr.. Morgan's name
1t was intimated that some of the
American bankers views were set
forth In the article.
Wilson's Plan Outlined.
President Wilson'S reported plan
will likely take the form of extending
the scope of the war finance corpora
ton which will back long-term credits
granted by American exporters to Eu-
ropean importers, according to M.
ALBERT. The writer reveals the OBJ
ject of Mr.. Morgan's trip by stating
that French, British and Italian inan-
ciers and the French finance ministry
had formed committee Of seven
bankers to meet Edward Stettinfus
Morgan representative, with view tt
arranging French financial and indus
! trial revival. Similar action is to be
| taken in Italy, 1t is said.
