Japan Will Accept
Allied Terms for
Chinese ConsOrtui11l
Withdraws All Objections
and Will Sign Agreement
Opening Way to Loans
for Peking Government

WASHINGTON, May (By The AS
sociated Press ).-Japan has withdrawn
all objections to the Chinese consortium
and has prepared a communication ac-
cepting the terms as agreed upon by
the United States, Great Britain and
France, the State Department was in
formed to-day by the American En-
bassy at Toxic. The consortium will be-
come effective as soon as the sigma
lures of officials have been affixed.
The acceptance of the consortium by
Japan ends two years effort by the
State Department to provide for the
financing of China by representative
groups of bankers in each of the four
great countries. Japan has contended
that Manchuria and Mongolia should
be excluded from the operation of the
consortium Claiming it had predom
nant rights in that territory because of
proximity. The United States, however,
refused to agree to this exclusion.
The amount Of money to be loaned
under the consortium has not been osti-
mated, but the advance soon of $5O,O0O,-
900 for railroad and other construction
and betterment is expected. -&
Immediately after receiving word of
the action Of the Japanese government
to-day, Breckenridge Long, Third As
sistant Secretary of State, who has con-
Quoted all Of the negotiations for the
United States. notified the governments
of Great Britain and France
Under the terms of the consortium
all loans made by the banking groups,
which in the United States include
thirty-seven banks in all sections Of
the country, must first be approved
by the State Department. The bank
ers, after deciding on each individual
loan, will submit to the department
the terms, contracts and all documents
bearing on it, and if these are approved
the loan then may be made with the
official sanction of the government be-
mind it. The same procedure will be
followed in the other countries.
Thomas W. Lamont, representing the
American group of bankers, is now in
the Orient in the interest of the plan.
He discussed the matter in Japan with
bankers and government officials, and
subsequently announced that as re-
suit there was a better understanding
of the plan in Japan.

can finance themselves was the reply.
Mr.. Hanauer said that, as soon as the
rate and wage questions have been
settled, the number Of roads that can
do their own financing will increase.
But the credit of the railroads gen.
orally will never be restored to normal,
ne said, until they can again sell stocks,
that is, until they are indisputably in
sound financial condition.
Public Buying Luxuries
Replying further to Senator Cum
Minis, Mr.. Hanauer said that if the
law were amended to permit the use
Of the revolving fund for fifteen years,
he believed very considerable amount
of equipment securities could be
toated, though at high interest rate.
Mr.. Hanauer suggested as remedies
for the situation, that the railroads
first see whether they can do some
thing besides buying equipment;
vising rules of loading, ETC., they can
not make better and fuller use of
present equipment. Next, the law
should be amended to permit repayment
to the revolving fund over fifteen
year period and Congress might sup
plement this with an appropriation in
creasing the revolving fund some
what.
Frederick W. Allen, of Lee, Higgin-
son & Co., said that the income tax
had eliminated the investing class
which existed before the war, while
the general public, which has more
money than ever before, is not invest
ing it, but is spending it for luxuries.
He concurred with Mr.. Hanauer's sug-
gestion.
Charles D. MITCHELL president of the
National City Company; J. R. Swan.
vice-president of the Guaranty Trust
Company; E. B. Sweezy, president
OF the First National Bank; and George
Whitney. of Morgan G. Company, sup
ported Messrs. Hanauer and Allen.
S. Davies Warheld, Baltimore, rep.
resentlng railroad security holders,
said Congress should do nothing until
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has concluded an inquiry into the
financial needs of the railroads.

Railroad Loan
New York Financiers Tell
Senate Committee Plan

and Stif1e Investment
Public Buying Luxuries
Wall Street Men Suggest
Extending $500, 900, 900
Revolving Fund 10 Years

From, The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Representa-
tives of New York banking interests
before the Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce to-day opposed the
granting of a $5O0,oo0,O00 loan to the
railroads to enable .hem to purchase
equipment. The bankers also opposed
a government guarantee of railroad
equipment securities, contending that
such guarantee would seriously affect
the governments credit and depreciate
outstanding government securities.
Should the loan of $500, 900 900 asked
by the railroads be granted, it would
mean an increase in taxation, or. at
least, continuance of the present high
taxes, the bankers testified. The re-
suit would be, they said. that the pres
ent dearth of Investment money would
continue and the present stringency Of
the money market would be continued,
If not accentuated.
The witnesses proposed that the Fed
eral government help the carriers to
purchase equipment by amending the
railroad oct to permit the $300000,O00
revolving fund to be used for fifteen
years, instead of five, thus giving the
roads longer period in which tc repay
money borrowed for the purchase of
equipment
Roads Must Have Money
The bankers also suggested that the
law be amended so that the Interstate
Commerce Commission would not be
able to require payment of borrowed
money within one or two years. A
third suggestion made by the bankers
was that the railroads bring present
equipment into the fullest possible
use and make it more effective by
the extension of terminals and any
other possible means.
Senator Cummins Of Iowa, chairman
of the committee, at the close of the
hearing, declared that the roads must
have the money for equipment.
There is no doubt" said Senator
Cummins, "that 100000 freight cars
and other equipment are needed.
Neither merchants, manufacturers,
farmers nor anybody else can prosper
if we do not have adequate transporta-
tion facilities. Our problem seems to
be to get S610O00,o0o for the roads
this year | think they must have it
at all hazards"
Kuhn Loeb e. Co., was the first wit
ness. Senator Cummins asked him
whether the railroads could get the
$610,000,000 by borrowing on their own
account.
There is not much hope that they
can get it all this year." replied Mr.
Hanauer. "a number of railroads are
IN position to finance themselves in
this respect, while much larger num-
ber cannot"
Mr.. Hanauer explained that the rail-
roads would have to float their securi-
ties among small investors, who demand
long term bonds at high interest. There
is no market among large investors, he
said, because of the income tax
Does the public doubt the security
the railroads can offer?" asked Senator
Cummins.

Peace Ulti1natun1
Sent Hungary by
Allied Premiers
Extension of Five Days in
Which Government Nav
Signify Willingness to
Sign Treaty Is Granted
Special Gable to The Tribune


Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Ino
PARIS, May THE Hungarian en-
voy extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary, NJ. Praznovsly, left for
Budapest to-day carrying with him the
Allied premiers last word to Hungary
and their permission for an extension
of five days in which Hungary can
signify her willingness to sign the
treaty of peace.
There appears to be every probability
that Hungary will sign. At the head
quarters of the Hungarian delegation
at Versailles there has been consider
able change of feeling since the de-
livery of the last Allied note to the
Budapest government. One of the
leading members of the delegation said
to The Tribune correspondents:
The terms of the treaty by them
selves are such as Hungary cannot pos
sibly accept, but we were happy to see
an INDICATION in the last letter from
the Allied and associated powers that
where the clauses intlict real injustice
upon the Hungarian people the condi-
tions may be altered.
Complains of Terms
I'VE therefore see in this latest let
ter from the Allies the possibility of
reaching modus vivendi.
Hungary under the terms of this
treaty is deprived of her forests, her
coal and her iron. Her request for a
plcbiscite has been refused, although
that concession was granted to Ger
many in disputed areas. The Hungar-
ians relied on President Wilson's
fourteen points and they availed them
nothing.
Nevertheless the Allies allow us to
hope for the mitigation of some of our
cruelest suffetings. For instance, we
may appeal on the question of the
amount of damage caused by the Ru-
manian invasion which we estimate at
90,000,000,00 crowns. We may be al
$4,000 mark set by the treaty, as we do
not think that force sufficient to keep
order in the country. In financial mat
ters we may appeal to the league of
nations or to the Reparation Commits
sion established by the Treaty Of Ver-
sailles.
Hopes for Modified Terms
owe take this letter from the Allied
peace commissioners to mean that they
believe our objections to the treaty are
we'll founded, and that if subsequent
investigation proves our case we shall
obtain a modification of the terms in
practice"
The delegate refused to prophesy
whether the Hungarian government
would sign the treaty, but it seems to
be case of Hungarys bowling to the
inevitable. Thus another knot in the
European fabric probably will be tied
at an early date.

tried to jam their way into the room.
Most Of the cases were amicably ad-
justed by the court.
Six Hundred in Rent Dispute
More than one thousand men, women
and children were present in and near
the 9th District Municipal Court, 121st
Street and Sylvan Place, when not less
than six hundred landlords and tenants
were called before Justice William
Blau in rent disputes. The court officers
and a dozen city marshals fought hard
to keep the crowd in order and get the
proceedings under way Many Of the
litigants had their clothes torn during
the skirmishes, and some were slightly
bruised.
Two hundred and twenty rent cases
were on the calendar of Justice Fred
erick Genung in the 7th District Mu-
nicipal Court More than half Of these
were adjourned until July /.
About ninety cases were before JUS
tce William A. Morris in the Second
District Municipal Court, the Bronx.
Philip Becker, a landlord, Of 1908 Pros
pect Avenue, owner Of an apartment
house at 2141 Prospect Avenue, was
threatened with punishment for con-
tempt of court on two occasions in the
proceedings. The justice told Becker
that if he wanted to increase the rent
of tenants more than rs per cent over
what it was in 1919 he would have to
prove the rent was not eXhorbitant.
"If you take this view it is conhsca-
tion Of my property!" shouted Becker.
The court replied that unless Becker n
apologized he would be sent to jail
Becker apologized. Later, however, he
made another remark Objectionable to
the court which caused Justice Morris
to say:
81 don't know what your address is
now, but if you make one more disre-
spectful remark it will be the county
jail"
No More to Say
Becker made no more Objectionable
remarks, not even when the court de-
cided that the tenants should occupy
the premises at their present rental for
another year.
The special rent bureau of the Dis
trict Attorneys office in the Bronx
opened this week in charge Of Assist
ant District Attorney Charles B. Nc
Loughlln He is receiving about fifty
complaints from landlords and tenants
daily.
There were 403 landlord and tenant
cases on the calendar of the 7th Dis
trict Municipal Court, Pennsylvania
Avenue and Fulton Street, Brooklyn
There were more than 1000 persons
in and about the courtroom. Many of
the tenants ordered to vacate their

families, received stays of three
months.

Margolies regarded this stay as a
violation of his rights, and ordered

occupied the house for several years
and her rent had never before been
