" ANT WAR
 FINANCE DEPT,
 TO MAKE LOAN

Buenos Aires, July 12-Omcers and of Commerce here have decided to eable the department of commerce at Washington, asking if the war finance board has the power to make a loan to the chamber or a similar body. The loan, if it could be obtained, would be devoted to the relief of American business in Argentina,where American goods valued at many mil lions of dollars are lying unaccepted and unpaid for.
 This action was taken up on the initiative of Carlos Alfredo Tornquist, an officer in an important Argentina barking house.
 He proposed to the chamber that a loan up to $50.0O0, 1000, to run from one to three years, be requested, so as to aid importers of American goods in accepting and paying for merchan- disc at present in warehouses here, or in purchasing needed American products. He declared this step would benefit trade relations between the United States and Argentina.
 The chamber did not pass on the question of requesting a loan, but appointed a, committee to study the matter and decided to cable for in formation as to the possibility of such a step. During the course of the discussion of the matter yesterday it was pointed out that a considerable part of the American goods that were not accepted by Argentine merchants upon arrival had been disposed of.

|C0NFERENC CE IS GOOD SUBSTITUTE
 FOR LEAGUE PACT

Washington, July 12.---President Harding's proposal for an interna- adequate substitute for former Presi- dent Wilson's League of Nations in the opinion of William G. McAdoo. former secretary of the treasury, who IS In Washington today.
 MT McAdoo, who is a son-in-la,w or ex-President Wilson, said he was heartily pleased that President Har- ding should take the initiative in linn tive against future wars but he be- Ifeved that entrance into the League or Nations would have been the better way.
 q am gratified that the admins tratton Is going to heed the popular will in this matter" said MT. McAdoo An agreed basis for the general re- auction and limitation of armaments Is one of the essential steps towards the peace of the world.
 While every good citizen should oppose any reduction in our naval strength or any. cessation of naval construction, so long as we have no agreement with Japan or Great Brit ain there Is not and cannot be any valid objection to an agreement be- tween these powers which will reduce naval construction to minimum while preserving the relative or proper strength of each nation.
 The most effective way to secure disarmament is to join the League of Nations if tho administration sim cerely desires to get American public opinion, to advance America's moral and material leadership and to secure the genuine prosperity which can be found only in conditions of peace and at the same time reduce tax burdens, it should promptly ratify the treaty of Versailles. This should be done whether it saves the administrators face or not and thus begin genuine CO., operation between all nations for the welfare of humanity
 MT. McAdoo was asked: will the fact that France, Italy and China have been invited to the conference make it more difficult to arrive at a definite agreement?"
 T do rot think SOL replied MT. Mo Adoo. 'It will not be any harder than it would have been if only Eng land, Japan and the United States were to participate.
 And let me say right here that the more conferences that we hold the more likelihood there is that good will come. The great trouble today is that we do not have conferences enough.
 "One of the most valuable features of the League of Nations is the pro- vision for compulsory conferences be- tween powers before war can take place"

 of the League of Nations in Great Bri- tain, said he welcomed the proposal for an international conference.
 *I see no threat against the su- prenacy of the League" declared Lord Robert Cecil
 Premier Me3ghen of Canada, in an interview printed in the Times today nadian Premier was quoted as saying:
 tTTo a. distracted world the mes sage offers new hope and promise of relief. Nowhere is President Hard ing's proposition welcomed more eagerly as in Canada I hope it will be thoroughly successful in bringing nearer the time when wars shall cease entirely
 Suggestions are being made that there should be preliminary confer ence to discuss the technical aspects thus shortening the work of the real conference when 1t meets in Washing ton.
 It is believed that, if President Harding is successful the disarma- ment and Far East conference will be convoked at Washington about the middle of the autumn.

 The policemen were stumped- Who could they believe? Finally peace ''war belt' went back to their slum- bers.
 The English bull. however, found broomstick and a black and tan too much to cope against, despite it's tra- fighting qualities.
