reply Of Argentina TO the allied re-
min6er that the Versailles treaty
prohibits Germany from manufact-
no drastic measures were needed
now for enforcing the prohibition on
shipment to Argentina, but it was
said continued efforts to obtain the
same would bring the allied com
missions 10 full exertion Of their
duties.
While it was appreciated that
Argentina, like other neutrals, would
appreciate the advantage Of bargains
in war SUPPLIES, il was declared this
was impossible in view OF the treaty.
Efforts TO obtain SUPPLIES would only
embarrass the allies and Germany,
and particularly the latter. which
had enacted measures to forestall
such shipments as were reported to
be preparing for South American.
II was said.

Agreement Reached at Peace
Conference by Wilson
Given to Congress.
EXPLAINS HIS ACTION
Recommends Acceptance of
German Securities For Loans
Made to Belgium.
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Prest
Wilson cleared his desk Tuesday Of
another matter growing out Of the
Paris peace conference by sending to
congress a copy of an agreement
which he and the British and French
premiers entered into June Is, 1919,
and under which the signatories
bound themselves to recommend ac-
ceptance of German bonds in full
payment OF loans made to Belgium
prior TO the armistice.
The president presented with the
agreement recommendations that
congress enact legislation which
would enable the American treasury
to accept German bonds TO the
amount Of s171, 100000, the amount
Of this cOuntry's total loans 70
Belgium up TO the armistice, plus
interest.
The agreement and recommends
tions were read in both houses Of
congress without comment from the
floor. Neither house took any action
in the matter.
The president, in transmitting the
agreement, made no explanation as
TO who it had not been submitted
early, except to say that the repara-
tions commission has not as yet
finally determined to details of the
issuance Of the necessary bonds by
the German government" He added
that the agreement was not en-
bodied in the treaty of Versailles
for various reasons"
"A recommendation at this time
that suitable legislative action should
be taken" Mr.. Wilson informed
| congress, may appear som ewhat
! premature, but in view of the ap-
preaching termination Of my ad-
ministration. I have brought this
matter to your attention hoping that
suitable action may be taken at the
appropriate time"
Submission Of the agreement, so
| far as could be learned. clears the
| presidents desk OF all matters grow
/ ing out of the Paris conference with
! the exception of the treaty OF Yer
! sailles and the Austrian and Polish
/ treaties. The F'ranco-American ag-
! reement is in the flies Of the senate
