Secretary Houston Says One
Allied Government Asked
to Have Its Obligation to
u. S. V0ided.
(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb 7.--Declaration
by Secretary Houston that an al
lied government had proposed to
the United States cancellation of
its war obligations to this country,
a wrangie over status of war loans
to Russia and Russian embassy fl
nancing, and a decision to divide
the investigation as to foreign
loans with the foreign relations
committee, marked today's session
of the senate Judiciary committee.
The proposal of Senator Reed,
democrat, of Missouri, to prohibit
additional foreign loans was un-
der consideration.
Secretary Houston said that zone
government" had proposed can
cellations by the United States of
loans. He preferred mot to say
what government.
Most of the session was taken
up with the discussion of Mr..
FKouston's assertion that he did not
propose to make further loans to
foreign governments. He contend
ed, however, that it would be "un-
if the United States
failed to live up to solemn com
mitments' and make additional
if requested, in the case
of balances, estimated at $75,00O,-
900 outstanding to the credit of al
lied nations. He added that mol
such request had been made or in
Dictated, however.
Senator Reed said Secretary
Houston's assurances as to hisl
plans would not bind his successor, |
which he said, his measure sought.
The Russian loan came up inl
testimony of n. Kelley assistant
treasury secretary, in charge of
foreign loans, who testified that
before the fall of the Kerensky
Russia had received
1881, 100000 in war credits. No ad-
payments, he said, were
made unfit 1920, when Russian
embassy officials were allowed tot
iraw 100000 with the under
;tanding that it would be replaced,
Objection of senators caused an
executive session at which it was
decided to leave International as
)ects of loan matters to the for
,ign relations committee.

COMMENDED BY JEWELL

New York, Feb. 1.--Retusal VI
President Wilson to intervene IN
the railway wage controversy, was
vindication of the stand assumed
Iby the railroad employees, B. "a
Jewell, president of the rallroao
employees department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, declared
in statement today
In this statement Mr.. JeWel
said:
",rhe telegram of the president
is a complete VindiCatiOn Of our
position. He has made 1t clear
that the railroad board should con-
fine it's jurisdiction to controversies
as to wages and working conditions,
leaving financial matters to. the In
terstate Commerce Commission
MIR. Atterbuty, therefore, made a
serious mistake in applying to the
labor board for financial assistance,
We did not consider the facts war
ranted his prediction that the
transportation industry was threat
ened with immediate bankruptcy
Evidently the president did not
think so either. We did not feel
lIHL IL IlldllCldl hlndSNNl was 80
pending, as predicted by Mr.. At
terhury, but considered it our duty
to call his statements to the atten-
tion of the president The presi-
dent has stated unequivOcally that
financial appeals should be re-
stricted to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Mr.. Atterbury made a serious
mistake by his ill-considered action
and has placed the railroad eX-
ecutiyes in an embarrassing posi-
ton, 1t is to be deplOred that the |
public was temporarily deceived.
Nov that financial aspects of
the matter, however, are settled, |
we shah have to take up and an |
swer before the board other feat |
ures of Mr.. Atterburys statement, |
He has cast aspersions upon rail- |
road employees which we cannot |
permit to pass uncOntroverted, We |
feel that it is our duty also TO show
that Mr.. Atterbury is in reality the
railroad representative of the sim

heavily financed and supported UNI

DR.. Macmillan is perfecting plans
for an expedition, to begin next
summer, which will include an at
tempt to circumnavigate Baffin
Land and penetrate it's western
coast, 1000. miles in length said
to be the longest stretch of I'M
known coast line in the world. He
is a frequent visitor here and keeps
careful watch over the construc-
ton of his ship.

WILSON To SHUT
HIMSELF IN FOR
INTENSIVE REST
Cny The Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 7 (by the AS
ISOLATED Press, president Wilson
plans to go into virtual seclusion
for a time after March f.
Freed from the responsibilities
of office which have weighed
heavily upon him during his con-
iValescencc, Mr.. Wilson, his friends
say will shut himself in for i'm
tensiye rest and quiet in his new
home.
He will deny himself to all call

his family, it is said, and few in
innate friends,
No formal engagements are ex-
pected to be made by the president
until, he shall have adjusted him
self to private life after some ten
years in public service. Even the
writing he has planned will be
postponed several months his
friends say.
Mr.. Wilson is understood to have
received invitations to spend part
Of the summer out of Washington,
but because Of his delight with the
weather here last summer, it is re-
garded as unlikely that he will ac-
copt
For possibly six months, his
friends believe, his life will be
taken up with recreation. The chief
diversion since his illness has been
reading. He is said to have prac-
tically exhausted the field Of de-
tective stories, and more recently
has taken up novels and light
stories. He also has given some
time to reading political and his
torical works and poetry.
Since his resumption last week of
the theater, the president
is expected to continue, as his
health improves, to find more oc-
casions to avail himself of this re-
creation. He also is expected to
continue his daily automobile rides.

You want to be freed from the

standing the law" He said such
discrimination had resulted in al
to his organization ana

it irving to pay his bills on salary
of $4,000 a year and his pay ought
TO be raised, says the former prime
minister. Herbert H. Asquith, VINO
ought to know for he occupied that
position for eleven years.
As far as known, Mr.. DAVID
Tloyd George has not asked for a
raise in pay, but his remuneration
hos been the subject of an inquiry
conducted by a committee Of par
liament which also is examining
into the salaries of all the BRUSH
cabinet ministers. ..-
Mr.. Asquith told the committee
that the office Of the premier OIL
Great Britain is a very expensive
one and his duties can not be prop
erly discharged by an expenditure
limited to that amount me 1oF-
mer prime minister added that ne,
himself, was a much poorer man
when he left office than when ne
entered 1t.
MIR Asuuith explained that the
premier had to do great deal OF
entertaining and afford hospitality
to all sorts of people both at nome
Ana abroad but. under the existing
arrangement, he had to defray TINS
expense entirely at his own cost.
Even if a government hospitality
fund should be provided for en-
Pertaining distinguished foreigners
Mr. Asuuith was of the opinion
that the premier's salary ought TO
be advanced. ...,
Mr.. Asquith had few kind words
to say about the privilege whlch
the premier has of occupying the
official residence at 10 Downing
street ,
at is quite true" he said, that
YOU live in the house free from
rent. rates and taxes. but 1t is
very expensive house to keep up
1t is a very inconVenient house IN
MANY ways; it requires large staff
and / suspect myself that any
prime minister who had experience
of it as l had world, If he were
Offered the choice, rather not i've
in it at all"
The salary of the premier OF
Great Britain at present rate OF
exchange is equivalent to $ls,250;,
This compares with salary OF
$4,000 and $4,000 expenses for
the president of the United States;
500, 600 francs salary and a similar
amount for expenses for the presi-
dent of France and of 100, 900
