BRUSSELS, Sept. 2s. (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-Roland w. Boyden, un-
official representative of the United
States in che international financial
conference in progress here, took the
f1oor CT the conference this afternoon
on the request Of several delegates and
explained why Europe could not, under
present conditions, be considered by
the United States as good business
risk.
Mr.. Boyden referred the delegates
to the letter Of former Secretary Of the
Treasury Carter Glass to Homer l..
Ferguson, president Of the Chamber Of
Commerce o. the United States, in
which Mr.. Glass declared, in effect, that
the United States could not undertake
to finance further the requirements Of
Europe. The letter, Mr.. Boyden said,
represented the attitude of President
| Wilson
The remarks Of Mr.. Boyden aroused
the keenest interest. All the DELEGATES
were present and the gallery was filled
with spectators
Mr.. boyden made it clear that no
further government help should be ex-
pected from the United States. He said
1t was not easy for the United States
to participate in the conference be-
cause it was difficult for the admins
tration to make known it's attitude on
the questions involved in the midst Of

giving my own personal views without
IN any sense representing my govern
ment," asserted Mr.. Boyden. Hbe then
declared that he had been asked
whether the conference would have anv
definite results. The question he
thought, might be answered in the af.
tlrmative.
FinanceA& &ommittee at Work
"hlle the monotonous reading Of
fgures was going on in the main ses
sion OF the conference, the Committee
on Public Finance began the appoint
ment Of sub-committees to draft reso-

expected to constitute the neares. ap-
proach to practical results from the
work of the conference.

change are expected to be taken up to-
morrow. The leader Of the debate will
be Dr.. Zissering, the Dutch banker,

Receiver to Take
Over PrOut Estate
Pending a Trial
Alleged Fraudulent Deeds
for Property Claimed by
Priest and Other Serious
Charges Figure i'm Case

Justice Newburger announced yes
tefday that he would appoint a re-
ceiver for the property involved in an
Prout, of $50 East Seven.y-second
Street and mother of the Rev. John T.

Another claimant to the property is
Guy Marchand, at one time secretary
and attorney in fact, who says he has
deeds which were given to him BY

Of Mrs. Prout and niece of Father
Prout. 1t is alleged that these trans
fers were fraudulent and the court
was asked to set them aside.
Miss CervenGoa was brought into the
Prout household when she was fifteen
years old. 1t is alleged that Father
Prout, acting as business agent for
his mother, acquired the property and
in the transfers he used Miss Ger
vendka as dummy" The charge is
made that as soon as Miss Cervendka
had filed the transfer in the Registers
Office she hurried to her grandm other

was visiting a daughter, and obtained
her signature to a transfer of the
property to Mr.. Marchand, who, &C

acy to defraud his mother out of the

Britain and Red Russia
Reported isa Trade Pact

From Tho Trtbunes Europeom Bureoy
Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Sept. est was learned
from an official source to-day that
trade agreement between Great Britain
and Soviet Russia was drafted two
weeks ago. Signature of the document
was postponed until after the Polish
Bolshevik peace conference, now in
progress at Riga.
There is no indication of what the
actual terms of the agreement are, but
1t is understood that it is purely COM
mercial arrangement and involves no
further diplomatic recognition of the
Soviet government by Great Britain.
Rumors have been current for some
time that large Russian contracts have
been awarded to British firms contin-
gent upon the signing of the trades
agreement
The Russians apparently are show
ing willingness at Riga to reach an
agreement with the Poles. The Soviet
speakers to-day, according to dis
patches received here, talked in less
bellicose tones than have marked their
attitude heretofore. Indications, there
fore, point to the completion of the
Russian British trade agreement in the
paratively near future

Predicts Refunding
OF Liberty Loans
will Be Necessary
National Bank of Commerce
Monthly Review Believes
This Course Is Indicated
by the Early Maturities

Pointing out that the relatively early
period within which the bulk of the
American public debt falls due indi-
Gates that refunding Of Liberty loans
at maturity will probably be necessary,
the National Bank of Commerce, in the
current issue of its magazine, Com
merce Monthly, says:
"The policy which has been followed
in American war loan financing will
make necessary large refunding opera
tion," the bank states. From the
Treasury point Of view this may have
it's advantages, for it may be possible
to issue some of the refunding loans
at lowera interest rates. In SO far as
lower rates can be secuerd. the policy
will have justified itself In any event
the optional maturities in effect be-
tween 1927 and 1947 give the Treasury
a satisfactory control over debt pay
ment during that period"
In discussing the relation of taxa
tion to debt reduction. the bank says:
"1t should be observed that the
marked trend Of American fiscal policy
toward direct forms Of taxation within
the last decade reduced the probability
of rapid debt payment. After the Civil
War, while high tariff was incidental
ly piling up huge surplusses in the
Treasury, debt payment, even at high
premiums. seemed a desirable means
of returning to circulation money then
locked up in Treasury vaults. Because
the tax burden was then only indirectly
felt, these recurrent surplusses were
endured; now that the burden is in the
main direct. it can hardly be expect
ed that collection of revenue beyond
the ordinary needs Of government will
go unchallenged, or that the payment of
a debt which can be postponed will be
generally regarded as one of the ordi-
nary needs of government"

are now several wells approaching
production depths, among which are
the Sioux OIL & Refining company's
