From The Tribune's Washing 1ton Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Daneer
confronts the United States in the re.
ported plan of France, Great Britain
and Italy to have action taken at the
forthcoming meeting of the league of
nations looking toward the pooling of
the war debt of the ntaions that fought
the war, Senator odge, of Massachu-
setts. chairman of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, said in the Senate to-
day.
Senator Lodge had read a dispatch
from Paris quoting former President
Poincare and others to the effect tbs
the pooling of war debts would be
again considered at the Brussels meet
ing Of the league of nations.
During the meetings of the Paris
peace conference" said Senator Lodge.
Il heard from a delegate that there
was great pressure to get an agree
ment in the treaty or league covenant
whereby all loans of different coun-
tries in the war could be merged and
all engaged in the contest should be-
come jointly liable. Of course. that
meant making the United States and
Great Britain alone the guarantors,
."OoC VI lIic OLner Ruar0ntOrS
would not have been of great value"
Senator Lodge quoted from the dis
patch statement that this proposal
was opposed by Thomas w. Lamont
Henry P. Dawson and others at Tho
peace conference.
Il did not know these gentlemen
were opposing it," Senator Lodge con-
tinued, "but our delegation there cer-
talnly opposed it and were much dis
turDed about it at the time"
Burden Put on United States
Senator Lodge quoted further from
the dispatch that two plans were to ht
proposed at Brussels-one, the Frencf
plan for an international bond issue -
refund all war loans; the other. the
british plan drawn up by j. Mavnar(
Keynes, which Senator Lodge sai(
would put "the whole burden Of reha
bilitating Germany upon U.S." Continu
ing, Senator Lodge said:
1T is coming up again. and either h,
giving power to the league bv neces
sary amendment or as a separate nron
osition, we shall be brought to face +
Of course, not being in the league. w,
shall not be liable unless we volun
tarlly join or join in treaty to noo
all the debts. To my mind it IS
very great danger, not that | think W.
are going to accede to it, but if we ar,
drawn into such treaty it would be
come a danger to the whole American

people and would mean burden of tax
mate"
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, in
terrupted, ridiculing the idea that such
a proposal would be seriously consid-
cred by the league of nations.
The Senator, of course, does not
mean that the league will have any,
thing to do with the distribution OF
debts incurred during the war;" said
Senator Hitchcock. "The Senator would
not credit the statement that twenty
OF the thirty nations in the league
woulo nave anything to do with the
distrioution of the debts of the five
or SIX nations that fought the war;
Payment Presents Problem
1T IS not preposterous at ALL" re-
piled Senator Lodge.
senator Hitchcock asked if Senator
Lodge thought worthy of any cred
the league would amend the leagues
constitution so as to take over con.
trol OF the debts of all the nations
of the world
think it is the most obvious thing
Ior n them to do" replied Senator Lodge.
~ course those people who have no
debts will not be in it. but those who
are in it will be very glad to vote that
the people who do owe the debts pav
them p"'
What is it to Holland or Spain
whether we pay it or somebody else
does? They do what European in
terests demand. They will furnish the
votes to amend the constitution Of tho
League, and that is all they have to do. ("
Senator Hitchcock said that nobody
in England favored such a scheme ana
asserted that when the suggestion was
made in Paris it was too preposterous
to be considered and nobody took it
seriously
1T was seriously considered and was
opposed by the United States" replied
Senator Lodge. II know thew we're
alarmed by it; have information from
members of the conference"

Not to Sign Beer Bill

William H. Anderson, state su-
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, telegraphed yesterday to
Governor Smith advising him not
to sign the 2.75 per cent beer bill
hastily.
The league expected, he said, a
decision from the Supreme Court
OF the United States defining the
concurrent power of the state as
a power to enforce and not to
nullify.
He suggested that the Governor
withhold his signature for the
statutory period, or until the de-
cision was handed down.

BRYAN IN WET SURVEY
THROUGH j. S. CONSULS
Commoner is Getting Intcrna-
tional Liquor Data From All
Over the World.

Washington, u. c., Jan. 2S.-William
Jennings Bryan has successfully enlisted
the machinery of the State Department
in a worldwide drive to mass facts and
figures concerning conditions in ''wet"
countries to aid the drys in their cam
paigu to make the world safe for grape
juice.
1t became known that the full strength
Of the Government diplomatic forces
has been placed At Brynn's disposal to
carry on the survey, which will not be
completed for many months.
Diplomats and consuls general, IL is
said, have been instructed To make mi
mute studies of prohibition and temper
ance conditions along varied lines. These
reports are to be assembled and forwarded
to Washington with nil possible es-
petition under orders from the State De-
psrtment.
State Department officials were reii-
cent In admitting how far the movement
has gone, but said Bryan, on his latest
visit to Washington, had requested Sec
retary Lansing To cooperate IN the
ascertainment of certain facts bearing
upon liquor export arrangements.
Diplomats already have begun 10 file
reports, ii wss said the earliest of these
coming from some Of the South American
countries. These reports are said TO

AUTO SHOW DETAILS
ALL SETTLED UPON
The Time, the Place, the Autos
Will be Ready for Best Dis
play Yet Made.

The chief interest in automobile ciruIezs
just now is in the anticipation of what
next week will bring--the Automobile
Show, tho fifth in the history Of the city,
being scheduled to open on Monday for IA
week, at tho Hotel ou Pont.
This is the first event to have the new
ball room Of the Hotel du Pont for it's ,ise
and also the first to be held under the
auspices Of the Automobile Trade Associn-
ton, which comprises in it's membership
the various branches Of the line passcn-
ger cars, trucks, accessory dealers and
garage men.
Tho ball room will he thrown open for
,the exclusive usc Of the automobile in
dustry. Each dealer in the city will bc
afforded AN opportunity to exhibit one
of the ballroom limits the Motor Trade
Association in available display space.
This fact forces a smaller show than WIS
previously planned, but the committee is
ondcavoring TO make UP in entertaining
features and attractive displays for what
is missing in the immensity Of the cx-
hibits.
IDEAL SETTING.
The setting of the Wilmington show will
be one Of the big features. No automobile
show in the country, not even the big
New York and Chicago shows can equal
the Wilmington show in this respect.
The du Pont ballroom is ideal for such an
exhibit The committee on floor arrange
ments consisting of T.. l.. Bnby, OF the
Packard Motor Co, and Il. 6. ulrich,
have apportioned ample space to each ox-
hibitor, so that the ears may be parked on
both sides Of the room and yet leave suf-
icient space that each car may be es-
amined from all sides. In using the ball
room there will bc no premium spaces, or
spaces of advantage, go to speak, where
any one exhibitor ls afforded better dis
play than his competitor. This fact will
enable the floor committee 10 so arrange
the ears to the best advantage both from
the display and artistic point OF view.
When plans were first started for the
1920 Automobile Show IL was thought
that with the addition Of the ballroom of
the Hotel du Pont that ample spaces wo ID
he available 20 put on a monstrouis show OF
pleasure cars and display them In the bali
room together with the green room and
lobby, which has previously been used for
this purpose. Part of this space would Ire

recent addition 90 the hotel, the entrance
through which the machines werr wheeled
into the lobby in previous years WAS closed

other than those In the ballroom. The
committee therefore wns forced tn place
restrictions upon each distributor as to
his number Of entries, and greatly re-
duced tho number Of exhibits which were
originally planned and counted on.
TO CHARGE ADMISSION.
At the last meeting of the show com
mittee IL WAS decided to secure part on
the lobby for the exclusive Use Of the
accessory dealers, the tire men, and lines
kindred to tho automobile industry. This
part Of the automobile show will OF course
be free 10 the public, but 80 cent adfnis-
sion charge with war tax will bc made Tor

entertainment committee, and from plans
formulated by them the usual monotony
of automobile shows will bc cnlivencd by
entertaining features which have not
been included in the daily programs OF
past shows. II was announced yesterday
that the music for the show will be
furnished by the "Orieinai Six new
