WASHINGTON, April 26.-The

tionS got into senate debate Mon
day for the first time i'm several
weeks. Sen. Lodge. Massachusetts,
the republican leader, started the
discussion by reading "a press report
quoting Pres't POincare Of France,
Andre Tardieu, the French ocOnom-
ist, and others as saying allied dip
lOmats proposed pooling of all be-
ligerents war debts and assumption
by the United States of the financial
burden of restoring Germany.
This presents very serious
danger 10 the United States and the
American people" said LodSe.
Denies Report.
Sen Hitchcock. Of Nebraska. ad-
ministration leader. declared the re-
port was preposterOus'' and added
that il was mo more possible that
the United States would assume the
debts OF other countries thar that
the senator from Massach husetts
would assume any debts"
Sen. Lodge declared that a similar
program had been serious cOnsid-
eratiOn' al the Paris peace confer
ence but this was denied by Sen.
HITCHCOCK. Mr.. Lodge SAID IL was
we'll known that at Paris there wero
proposals 10 have the United States
loan all the money required for re-
Mobilization of Germany. Reports
that the question was to come up
again at the league financial con-
ference at Brussels, Mr.. Lodge ad-
ded. revived the danger to the United
States.
Lodge Replies.
sen. Hitchcock asserted that lea
que members who did not participate
in the war with Germany could have
no voice in arranging the debts Of
the belligerents Mr.. Lodge replied
that they could vote for amendment
of the league TO provide for some
plan for pooling the war debt.
If they try TO reform the league
for that purpose. il only adds its
charm in my opinion Sen. Lodge
concluded.
