PLANS FOR REFUNDING
ALLIED DEBT OUTLINED
Legislation to Be Asked In
uoIues $4,000, ,O00, 900 Total.
Special Despatch to THE NEW York HEsAtr
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C., June IL.

Plans for refunding the allied in
debtedness to the United States of more
than $4,000 900. 900 were discussed at
the Cabinet meeting to-day. and on rec
ommendation of Secretary Mellon addi-
tional enabling legislation is to be asked
of Congress to give the Secretary liberty
TO negotiate the sums affected and the
maturities with free hand.
The refunding operations proposed
contemplate acceptance Of small denom-
ination bonds TO cover both principal
and interest due. such bonds to have
maturities paralleling those of our own
Liberty bonds. This Is to be done with
view to the future possibility of
spreading the allied bonds to the people
OF the United States through exchange
of issue, or offering them to meet early
Liberty maturities.
In the present situation there is a
tacit understanding that the United
States will not insist upon interest pay
ments due from countries which do not
make payment for a period of three
years This period expires in April. 1922.
and II is hoped to have all OF the obliga-
tions refunded into permanent form by
that time.

is generally regarded as one of Europe's
greatest statesmen, said the decision by
the Washington Administration to re-

very greatly to promote business con-
fidence in Central Europe.
"I regard the American decision as
having the greatest Importance in bring

first OF all. the effect of it will be to
give the Supreme Council greater au-
thority. The war for a while destroyed
all authority in Central Europe. and
until complete pac4lcation is accom-
plished and normal conditions are re-
stored, II is most important that
body like the Supreme Council should
have all possible authority as directing
force. not only In Europe proper. but
in adjusting relations with Russia.

and from improved business conditions

part ofsEurope embraced in it. He said

Republican conferees of the Senate
and the House virtually have agreed
on n compromise on the peace resou-

are inclined to accept the House pro-
vision simply declaring state of peace
to exist. instead of the Senate plan of
repeating the declaration OF war, while
the House probably will yield to
changes in that part of the resolution
which protects American rights.
I'VE decided to press the disarma-
ment question in a separate resolution
because of the insistent demand of the
country that some action be taken"
said Mr.. Porter. 1T Is difficult to say
just when the deadlock of the naval
bill will end. but the separation of the
disarmament question may hasten it,"

dicated that he would insist that his
amendment be included in the naval
