ToProbe Europe's
Economic Tangle
Supreme Board Rejects Pro.
posal to Loan Money or to
Turn Austria Financial
Problem Over to League.

Paris Jan. 25.-(By The 4Associ-
ated Press.)-After rejecting pro-
posal to turn the Austrian financial
problem over to the, league of ma
tions, the allied supreme council de-
cided TO appoint a commission to
make thorough inquiry into the
entire question of the economic sit
,iation in Europe with particular ref
erence to Austria.
The council took this action in
view OF the opinion Of the conferee5
that as the AUSTRIAN situation in
volved the entire European economic
situation it was advisable to have
this situation thoroughly inquired
into through the most competent
representatives of the allied coun-
tries obtainable.
These representatives, it was de.
cided. will be Sir Robert Horn, pres
ident Of the British board Of trade;
Louis 'Loueher. France: Signor Clan
mini, the Italian economic expert, and
probably the ministers of commerce
of other allied countries, including
Belgium. This commission was ap-
pointed this forenoon.
During the discussion in the coun-
Gil today the general opinion deve1-
oped that it was useless to try to do
anything for Austria apart from the
solution OF the economic problems
of the neighboring countries, with
which Austria's future is bound to
be closely connected and the sugges-
ton from the Austrian section o. the
reparations commission for an ad-
vance to Austria of S25.000.000 for

rison, democrat, Mississippi,

the way.
Senator McCumber9 appealed for
action, On the ground that the bill
would effect more than 3O.000,000
people.
"You want to make the farm at
tractive," he said. You know how
as we'll as l do. 1t is to make farm
ing worth while. 1t is the glow of
the dough that is attractive and that's
why this measure should be passed
quickly"
Senator Harrison charged that the
North Dakota senator wanted to
save a few people by making the
rest of the country pay the BILL
Such tariff as asked on wheat, he
said, could do nothing but. increase
the price of bread. He asked
whether in the recent campaign it
had not been one of the chief argu-
ments of the republican party that
the cost of living should be lowered
The bill, he said. was being used
to 'lpodwink" the farmers and he
asked the republican side where,

if it were not wrong "to fool Your
