HAS F|NANCE-INDUSTRy
PLAN TO HELP EUROPE
Henry P. Dawson Outlines Scheme
to Issue Safe Debentures to
American People.

CHICAGO, June 14.-Tenry p Davi-
son of ]. p. Morgan & Co, New York.
outlined to middle western bankers
last night his plan for the co-ordina-
ton of American industry and finance
for the rehabilitation of Europe. His
proposal would incorporate the large
industries separately with a central
governing body to investigate and as
sure foreign credits against which
debentures would be issued and dis
tributed among the American people.
Such industries as copper mining.
cotton growing, tobacco raising, etc,
would be incorporated separately. but
presiding over these distinct corpora
tions would be the central body to as
sure credits and arrange for allocat-
ing supplies. Credits would be guar
anteed by European governments as
the basis for the issuance of dAben-
lures. and there would be an Euro
pean committee to aid in allocating
American goods abroad. Europe now
owes the United States ten billion
dollars. Mr.. Dawson said. and it is
purely a business proposition to aid
her rehabilitation to keep her as
Americas customer.
I'VE want it understood this is pri-
marily an industrial move" said Mr..
Dawson, who explained his plan was
only tentative as yet and IL put into
effect would be done with the full CO.
operation of the national administra-
ton and the Treasury Department.
Finance would be associated only
incidentally. 1t is not a private plan
If an association of bankers. 1t Is
not confined to any section or class.
"If put into effect with it's deben-
lures distributed as we would like to
see them, it will embrace the whole
American people. 1t will put every
man in the financier class.

FRENCH FLEETS REFUSAL
TO FIGHT REDS RELATED

PARIS. June 13 (by the Associated
Press.-An account of the mutiny of
seamen of the French Black sea feet
at Odessa in April was told in the
chamber of deputies last night by
Deputy Emile Goude. a socialist. Dur
ing the trouble a red flag had been
run up on the battleship France.

the battleship France arose the
strains of the interna t1onal revolu-
tionary hymn.
The men gathered in groups on
the ship and the captain then inter-

with the sailors. who appointed dele

delegates said:

CONFEREES' OPINION
DIFFERS OVER OMSK
Bakhmetef Calls Recognition
Vital Step Toward Recrea-
ton of United Russia.

PARIS Friday. June Is (by the AS
ISOLATED Press).-There is a division
of opinion in peace conference circles
as to to the degree of recognition to
be accorded the all-Russian govern
ment at Omsk by the note sent to
Admiral Kolchak by the council Of
five. Some delegates insist that If the
action of the council were really a
recognition of the Kolchak govern
ment 1t should be given representa-
ton in the conference. They hold that
even partial recognition would entitle
the Omsk government to send dele
gates to Paris. Others maintain the
conference cannot give recognition to
any government, as individual nations
must take such action separately, as
was done with Poland, which has no
representation in the conference as
yet.
Prince Lvoff, chairman of the Rus
sian commission in Paris, is, with his
colleagues, delighted with the action
of the conference. Prof. Boris A.
sador to the United States, told the
Associated Press today that ii was
the most vital step as yet taken to-
ward the recreation of a united and
democratic Russia, as the conference
had positively declined to have any
thing TO do with the b0lsheviki and
outlined a definite policy for con-
tinued and increased assistance for
Admiral Kolchak.
d. Bakhmetef said that reverses
suffered by the Kolchak troops on the
southern branch Of the transsiberian
railroad between Samara and Ufa
were due to a too speedy movement
westward without adequate protec.
ton to the arfny's line of support.
where bolshevik disaffection forced IL
retreat to strengthen communications.
He said that the two northern COL
umns of the Kolchak army were NOV
ing against the Volga region with
success.

on other ships took up the singing.
Ihe red flag was run up on Easter
morning beside the tricolor. which had
been hoisted with customary honors
The work on the ships was carried

liberty.

The deputy continued:

make the delegates appear as leaders of
the trouble. Four hundred sailors met
at Toulon recently and told Admiral La

touched or they would strike"

MERELY A RESERVATION.
Admiral Kolchak's Protest of Rus
sian Assembly of 1917 Explained.

-OMSk- Saturday. June (by the AS
ISOLATED Press).-Acting Foreign Min
lister Soukine, in explaining today
why Admiral Kolchak declined to
meet the proposal of the allies to call
the constituent assembly Of 1917 in
case elections for a new assembly
could not be held, said:
Admiral Kolchak did not feel JUS
titled in substituting for a free cleo
ton such as he proposes and to which
he has given oath. the convocation of
an assembly established under the
domination of the bolsheviki and a
majority of the members of which are
at present actively engaged with the
bolsheviki. This does not constinhte
difference of views. but Is merely
reservation since 1t is essential that
the assembly be elected on the basis
of universal suffrage and Admiral
kolchak proposes to do this as soon
as the bolsheviki are crushed"
