NEW WORLD CREDIT
 PLAN CONSIDERED
Dutch Delegate Proposes That Question Be Handed Over
 to League of Nations
By Associated Press

Brussels, October Reconsideration
 of another world credit scheme oc- cupied the international financial con ference this morning. It was presented
 by Dr Tor Moulen, delegate from
 Holland His proposal was that the
 question of international credit be
 handed over to the League ot Nations, which would appoint central com mittee on commercial credits.
 Ths countries desiring to use the facilities of this committee would com
 nun'cate to it the nature and extent
 of the securities they would pledge
 for credits to importers. lf the secur-
 ities were approved. the central body
 would fix the amount of credi: to be
 given. and the League of Nations
 would issue interest bearing bonds to
 the anount of credit furnished.
 These bonds could be used as col
 lateral secusity either at the bank of the purchaser or by direct transmits sion to his creditors in payment for his purchases.
 < TEe only difference between this ise heme and the, one presented yester- jay by Premier De La croix, Of Eel tsN 3lfH sAs tHdt tnfS talkef sIlkAIisf com sprfse revenue from taxes among tfe things that may be pledged.
 Julio Barbosa Carnciro Brazilian delegate, proposd to the conference the organization of an international finan- lcial institute. This body would sit in Geneva permanently under the auspices ici the League Of Nations and make recommendations regarding the acr:or ! te be taken by the league respecting the financial policy or condition oi any nation that might threaten an in ternational financial crisis
 The institute would also study Inc finances and economies of the world generally and distribute information oi interest to all the countries of the world
 ! The critical and decisive phase of the international financial conference began this afternon when the last speakers were heard ill open session and President Ador referred the question of interna tional credits to special committee. A number of the delegates informed the Associated Press they believed the com system of international credits. They consider that it is possible to use the present banking systems of the different countries in an internationa system and save trouble to accomplish the sane purpose. The delegates were
 non-commital regarding the work Of the
 committee as they had been adjured to
 kaop the deliberations absolutely secret.

PALMER ORDERS ELECTION FRAUD
 CHARGE INQUIRY
Sweeping Instructions Cover All Campaign Irregularities, With Close Scrutiny of
 the Use Of Money
l.y Assocsated Pres.

Washington, october Thorough in- vestigationp of election Irregularities of every nature by United States attorneys today was ordered by Attorney General Palmer. The orders specified that fed eral agents should take cognizance of local situations where accusations of fraud nave been made, whether or not a federal investigation has been requested
 It was understood that fraud and graft were included in the Investigation but the localities in which these have been ordered were not disclosed.
 The department of justice has received scores of communications asserting fraud had been practiced in state prl- maries. but most of these have been turned over to district attorneys, who are empowered to conduct such investi- gations without specific directions In structions of the sort sent out today therefore were declared to mean extra vigilance on the part of the government.
 The new. instructions were described aS of q sweeping character designed 70 cover any campaign irregularity. and were said to have stressed the need for close scrutiny of the use of money Dls- trct attorneys were informed that charges of vote buying and accusations of bribery should be given especial at tention wherever the federal government has Jurisdiction.
 Mr Palmer said the departments corps of agents was far below the num- Der required" because sufficient apprn- priation was not provided by the last Congress. The bureau of Investigation has less than 900 agents with which to do it's work, it was stated
 Federal agents will work in co-opera- ton with state and local authorities and, where possible, the state courts will be given Jurisdiction to avoid further jam ming of the overcrowded federal courts. But prosecutions will he aided by fed. eral attorneys where they can render assistance. MT. Palmer said.

KENTUCKY IS OURS,
 SAYS ROOSEVELT
Says U. s. Will Be Member of League In 60 Days After
 Cox's Inauguration
By Associated Pres.


 Bowling Green, Ky, October 2.-trank- lin D. Roosevelt wound up a two-day campaign in Kentucky here tonight with the prediction that the electoral vote of the state would be given to Governor Cox for President, and within sixty days after his inauguration the United States would be a member of the existing League of Nations.
 Exactly one month from today" he said, the electorate of ;he United States will decide whether it will join thirty nine other civilized nations in this, great association for the preservation of4peacs or remain outside with bolshevik Rus Ssia revolutionary Mexico and unspeak- able Turkey. Personally. l am not proud of our present company
 Five prepared addresses and at least ten rear platform speeches in western Kentucky constituted the days pro- gramme for MT. Roosevelt and large crowds greeted him everywhere.
 Speaking before large audiences in Rus sellville and in this city, he said: One point about the League of Nations ques- Ftion is clear. It is that a vote for Cox in November is vote for participation in the league by the United States, with every right under our constitution and Congress safeguarded. A vote for dar- ding is of necessity a vote against tha very existence of the association oi thiry-nine nations which are now in the league"
 Mr. Roosevelt said this great moral question should be above politics, but unfortunately since the decision of Will Hayes and some senators. who cared more for party than national good, ths league has become the principal political issue this year"
 MT Roosevelt leaves here early tomor- row for Terre Haute, Ind, where he boards Governor Cox's special train and rides with him as far as Indianapolis.
