Regarding Problem.

By Associated Press:
LONDON, Feb. 23.-High prices
and the rate of exchange viii be
AIKEN up soon by the supreme coun-
ell in conference with the financial
experts. Todays decision is separ-
ate from the earlier London deci-
sion to call the finance ministers
Of the powers together for dis
cussion of the financial situation Of

1t is believed that the members
Of the council have NOT determined
H':lat the council might do toward
stabilizing exchange and reducing
hei high prices, and win not reach
a decision until they hear what the
experts nave to say.
Discuss Russian situation.
The proposition to take up the
financial matter came after Russia
had occupied most Of the day in
discussions. In this connection it
is considered not unlikely the mem
bers took under advisement the de-
mand OF most OF the British news
papers that some settlement with
Russia is necessary in order 20 re-
duce prices. 1t has been pointed out
that if Europe could get food and
raw materials from Russia it would
cut down purchases in America
against the adverse exchange
In dealing with the Russian ques-
lion today the members Of the coun-
ell are represented as recognizing
an entirely different state OF af-
fairs than when the question was
asst discussed at the Paris meeting.

but officials there remained silent al
though it had been announced that q

presidents hands and his action on
each might be given out later in the
day.

capitol said they had not been informed
whether the water power bill had been
approved within the time permitted for
it to become a law. The water power
bill was among II measures given a

from approving them until ten days after
their receipt at the White House. The
tine for approving the water power bill
expired last Friday at midnight and the
other measures, including the war laws
repeal resolution and the resolution
creating a commission to confer with

row midnight.
