 No definite proposal designed to stabilize exchange has been worked out by any European financial expert, it is said by an economic authority. The subject is one that will demand that the best financial minds in the world gather around table and exchange ideas.
 If the United States goes into the conference, there is little doubt she will do so on the understanding that there be no consideration of debt can cellation. The executive branch has no authority to consider cancellation, and congress has demonstrated 1t never would consent to such action. .

Economic Conference May Meet in 1922

TyHE conference on armaments will
 ! be followed by an economic con
 ference to be held in the spring of 1922, inquiries among the foreign delegations indicates. Informal con- ycrsations on the subject already have taken place between representatives of the governments participating in the present conclave, and the idea has met with tentative approval. The ex- changes of views have not proceeded to the point where the time and place of the meeting or the nations to receive the invitations have been determined.
 It is not unlikely that, if the pres ent conference is successful, an agree ment to meet again for the considera- tion of commercial and financial ques- tions may be proposed before the Washington gathering adjourns. It is reported President Harding might fa- vor the plan if the present conference succeeds.
 The three-year period over which interest payment on the $10,000000,- 900 owed the United States by the allied powers was spread expires at that time, and there is no effort to conceal the fact that the European nations want a general discussion of economic conditions before taking up the debt problem with the United States.

 In time of war the active reserves are immediately called to bring the standing army to its war strength. The second reserve is available for re- placement of casualties.
 There can be little doubt that the plans are in existence whereby, .imme- diately war is declared, new units will be mobilized entirely of reservists in the same way Germany so successfully doubled the number of her divisions in the first two weeks of the recent war.
