BUSH URGES RECEIVERSIIIP
FOR EUROPEAN NATIONS

NEW YORK. April Omitted
Press)-voluntary receivership, with
the United States as a friendly ref
cree in bankruptcy Is the only solu-
tion OF the European financial tan
gle. Irving T. Bush. president OF the
Bush Terminal Company. declared in
an interview with the United Press
today.
Bush. a recognized business and
economic authority on both sides OF
the Atlantic. has just returned from
a tour OF Europe.
THE words bankruptcy and re
ceivership' are not exactly the def
nitions OF the system that must be
employed TO extricate Europe from
its present fiscal situation but they
are the nearest to describing the
method we have in the English
language" he said.
MY suggestion is this:
Induce the European countries.
which together owe the American
government nearly $4,000. 900,
to scale down the interest rates on
their internal debts-their local lib
erty loans This will result in the
saving Of millions Of dollars annual
y.
In cooperation, the United States
would then reduce the interest
charges on its foreign loans to even
a lower level For instance, II these
European countries would put the
interest on their internal loans from
six and seven per cent TO four, three
and a half or three per cent. We
would reduce our interest rates TO a
half or even one per cent under
theirs
Evening journal., 1921-04-02

"Au Of this, Of course. would have
TO be accomplished through a sort
Of joint receivership with the United
States IN the capacity OF friendly
referee.
There is no question IN my mind
that such an arrangement would
have the immediate effect Of restor-
ing national and international con-
hdence and eventually would lead
10 the liquidation Of debts that now
appear to be bad.
WASHINGTON. April 2.-(United
Press)-The United States is hold
ing the ten billion loans durins the
war and since on its books as valued
assets.
This declaration comes from a
high quarter today as a result OF a
careful consideration OF the Allied
debt question by the cabinet and
President Harding. II banishes CONF
pletely any secret hopes that may
have been held in Europe that the
United States could be induced 10
strike the account on the record and
start with a clean slate.
The possibility Of some agreement
hy which interest payments can be
deferred still exists The principal
however. must ultimately he paid
either directly or through some re-
adjustment by which the United
States will retain its equity.

HITS IMMIGRATION FRAUDS.


Washington, d. c. Representative
Newton Of Minnesotl has reported
from the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs a statement OF the immigration
frauds allowed to grow up during the
Wil2on administration. He says;
"These immigrants are coming from
various parts Of Europe, but mostly
from Italy and central Europe, where
the economic conditions growing out
of the war and It's devastation are ex-
trcmely bad Many OF those desiring
to come here are frankly undesirable.
While others can not so be classed, so
great IS the desire Of both desirable
and undesirable aliens to come to the
United States that fraud and decep-
ton are being daily resorted to in or
der to obtain not only viscs, but pass
ports themselves. These cases of
fraud and deception run into the hun
dreds. Wise and fee stamps are being
while consular sigma
lures are being cleverly initiated and
forged. Even the seals of some of the
governments issuing passports are be-
ing cuntorfcited These frauds are
now being attempted on wholesale
scale. In one station in central Europe
the number of false documents sub,
mitted run from between s to 20 every
