FINANCE COMMITTEE
 DISCUSSES ALLIED DEBTS

Washington, July 11-Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain in a letter to President Wilson in August. 1920, re- ferred to suggestions that the inter-aI- he'd debts be reciDrocally cancelled and asked MT. Wilson's advice "as to the best method by which the whole prob lem could be considered and settled by the United States government in concert with it's associates at the earliest DOS sible moment, that the political situ- ation In America makes it possible"
 The British chancellor of the ex- chequer six moths earlier had cabled a British treasury official in the United States declaring i've should welcome a general cancellation of inter-govern- mental war debts"
 This information was given today by treasury officials who appeared before the senate finance committee considering the administration bill to give the sec retary of the treasury broad powers in refusing the allied debts to the United States.
 Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Wadsworth after questioning by Senator La Toilette and upon request of other committee members, read into tke com mittee records a lengthy extract from Premier Lloyd Georges letter and a part of the British chancellor's cable gram. The latter was addressed to F. c. Lindsay the British treasury repre- sentative and in turn referred by hin informally to R. C. Leffingwell, the assistant secretary of the treasury.
 The two communications brought i'm mediate questions from members of the committee and a statement from Secre. tary Mellon that the cancellation sug. gestion had not been preached to hin since he assumed office and would moi be considered if made.
 The treasury officials gave no testimony to show whether MT. Wilson of tht treasury replied to the communication! and the committee adjourned until tomor row after asking that treasury docu ments relative to Americas loans to tht allies. now in the custody of the senate
 judiciary committee be obtained. Questions involved in refunding of tn, foreign loans also came in for dis
 cusson from time to time today on the senate floor in connection with debate or the soldier bonus bill. Senator Kel Iogg criticised the Wilson administration for failure to bring about the refund i ing of the allied loans and Senator Glass of Virginia, secretary of the treasur! l during portion of that administration ! declared that the United States had en tered into negotiations with Grea Britain but that the latter had abrupt ly terminated them without explana | ton.

Washington, July 14.-President Hard inEs proposal that the soldier bonus bill be recommitted 10 the finance commit tee was the basis of turbulent debate in the senate todsg, charges of "dictation" being advsnce'4 by democrats and denied by republicans. By agreement, the vote on recomu.dtal will be taken tomorrow.
 In re/aratIOn for final action, Sena- tor Kenyon. offered an amendment which would instruct the finance committee to report back the bill early in January. Opposition was immediately voiced from both sides. Senator Borah characteriz- ing the suggestion as moral cowardice" and asserting that six months delay would make no difference to the tax pay CTS, while Senator Watson described the proposed action as a floral wreath on the grave of the bill.

TOXIC SILENT oN
 FAB EAST PROBLEMS

Tokio. July 14.-(By the A. P.)-Pres- ident Harding's suggestion for confer ence at Washington for the limitation of ornaments to be accompanied by dis cussion of general Far Eastern questions by interested powers, has been officially received and was lengthily deliberate rp- on today by tho cabinet
 (Since the filing of this despatch Ja- mans accordance of President Harding 5 suggestion for a conference has been re- ceived at Washington, no reference be- ing made, however, to far eastern ques- tions)
 Every difficulty Japanese statesmen are apt to find in attempting to fix the scope of Japan's political activities in the future in the far east is put forward here to explain the apprehension, namely, that the armament conference should logically include a discussion of general far eastern problems.
 Japanese officials decline to discuss the matter but the correspondent is in- formed that that while Japan heartily welcomes the armamen deliberations, the belief prevails that the suggestion of & conference on policies in the far east is one requiring the most careful consideration on the part of Japan and some doubt is expressed as to whether Japan would accept such an invitation blindly.
 It is pointed out. for example that the status of Japanese 'S America is an im- portant question to Japan whicl might like to know whether it is included in the suggested discussion
 The plan to invite China to general far eastern conference is another matter which it is understood, is giving the Japanese authorities food for thought At all events, Japan apparently considers that the form of the proposal leaves hel free to present her views frankly con corning the taking up of questions relat- ] ing to the far east. where Japan has al ways insisted she holds a special position
