 Baillie John King, former mayor of Glasgow, made a plea for such loans to Europe as would combine big business and big brotherhood All three speakers from foreign countries were delegates to the International Trade Conference at Atlantic City last week.
 Professor Luiggi told how many of Italy's houses and whole villages, out wardly whole, are inwardly ruined through the burning of their floors, partitions and furniture to fire the engines to carry her soldiers to re- Sist the Austrian invasion.
 Italy's engineers even piped up vol canic heat from hundreds of feet be- low the surface of the ground, in the abse.ice of adequate coal to furnish caloric energy for her defense.
 Mir FIIene sand that America had a trade balance of S4,000, 900, 600 last year and the Stabi1iZation of credits and exchange which would fellow a reha bilitation of European industry would be business boom to America as well as a "brotherly s, vice to those European powers which prevented the sweep of Germany's victorious armies on to the Channel ports and oversea."

Moses Amendment
 Now Before Senate
The Last of the 46 Recom- mended by the Foreign Re lations Committee.

Washington, Oct 27.-The Johnson amendment to the peace treaty. de- signed to equalize American and Brit ish voting strength in the League of Nations, was rejected in the senate to- day by a vote of 3S to 40-
 On the rau call. which came unex- pectedly during lull in the debate. two democrats joined the republi- cans supporting the amendment and nine republicans voted with the dem Ocrats against it. Or eighteen sen ators absent or paired, four repub- licans and two democrats were record e das favoring it and twelve demo- cratS as opposing it.
 The senate then took up the. Moses amendment on the same subject. the last survivor of forty-six recommended by the foreign relations committee. Over the opposition of the administra- tion leaders action on this measure was postponed, the senate adopting, 43 to 36, Republican Leader Lodge $ motion for a recess until tomorrow.
 When the senate met. the leaders had not hoped for vote before to- half and hour. during which nearly every current subject except the league had been discussed. it was de- cided not to wait on the senators who had announced they would speak on the amendment this week. When Democratic Leader Hitchcock asked that ,;nle be set for roll call dur ing the afternoon MT. Lodge replied he saw no reason why the vote should not be taken at once.
 The suddenness with which the roll cal began apparently took the admin istration forces by surprise and sal- though they had counted on a maj0Fi- ty of six or eight, so many senators were absent that sigh of relief went up from the democratic side whens the result was annOunced- It was by lar of the committee anendments had been defeated
