America Must Furnish Share OF
International Credit, Says
Lloyd George.

LONDON, Nov. 2s.-The United
States has been called upon to sub
scribe a large share of the interna-
tional credit necessary for the
economic restoration of Austria, pre-
mfer Lloyd-George told the House Of
Commons yesterday.
urgent representations have ac-
cordingly been made to the United
States Government in this case" he
added, saying that the condition of
Austria was such as to require i'm
mediate action.
The refusal of the United States
Senate to ratify the peace treaty has
not changed the stipulation contained
in the covenant that President Will
son should call the first meeting of
the League of Nations, the premier
stated.
In reply to questions, Lloyd-George
denied that he made any pledge to
President Wilson at Paris that he
would endeavor to settle the Irish
question. He stated that the alliance
between France, Great Britain, and
the United States. providing for the
defense of France in case of wanton
attack, was dependent upon ratif1ca-
tion by the United States. It was q
question entirely separate from the
disposition of the peace treaty.

securities.
Such legislation is deemed essential
for the protection of the public gen.
orally, especially holders of low-in-
terest Government securities like the
Liberty Bonds, who are tempted to ex-
change them for valueless securities
sold, through promises of impossible
returns.
Treasury officials and the Federal
Trade Commission urged this legisla-
tion during the last session of Con-
gres. Many hearings were held by
the Judiciary Committee on BILL.
introduced by Congressman Steele, of
Pennsylvania, which provided for su-
pervision Of all securities issues by
Treasury officials and widest pub
licity for values on which such
securities were based and the respon-
sihtlltv of those Issuing them.
A number Of drastic amendments
