CURE Of WORLD
SSOUGHT IN
POWERS FARLEY
Agitators Would Bring Many
Problems Before Disarmament
Conference Here.

Encouraged by the presence here
next November OF the worlds lead
Ing statesmen in conference as
sembled, agitations are getting under
way to have the meeting take up and
endeavor to cure all the Ills Of the
world.
One Of the hardest tasks confronting
the conference promoters, officials adj
mitted today. is that of limiting the
parley to the purposes for which 1t
was called-the limitation of arma-
ment and settlement of the problems
OF the Far East and Pacific.
Officials to date have discouraged
all suggestions for broadening the
scope of the conference TO include any
thing but Far Eastern and disarma.
ment matters. The introduction OF
any extraneous matters, they believe,
would drag out the conference, en-
gender Ill feeling, and possibly result
in the failure of the conference to
attain its primary aims.
Oppose Penrose Bill.
Undeterred, however. by official
coldness, opponents Of the Administra-
TONS policy toward settlement Of the
allied Indebtedness are urging that tho
coming conference concern itself with
this problem.
The Administration wants to handle
the question OF the $4,000, 900, 900
foreign Indebtedness through the
agency OF the Penrose bill, which
confers wide authority in the Secre-
tary of the Treasury TO arrange the
best settlement possible.
This proposal has aroused a storm
OF protest in Congress on the part OF
those who contend that this method
reposes too much power in one man,
and II is now urged that the COM
ing conference take cognizance OF
these debts and endeavor 10 fix a
basis Of settlement.
Three Chief Debtors.
The three principal debtors of the
United States will attend the con-
ference-Great Britain, France and
Italy--and thus an excellent oppor-
tunity is afforded for reaching some
sort of an agreement. say those in
favor of including finance in the
conference program. Great Britain
owes roughly $4,000 ,000, 900, France
$4,000, 600, 900 and Italy $4,000. 900 900.
Another point emphasized is that
most OF the delegations will be
accompanied by financial experts
anyway, in connection with the dis
armament feature of the program
and so II would work no extra
hardship on the participating nations
to come prepared to settle their war
obligations.

Gigantic Trade Debts Uncol-

International News Service.

World trade debtors increased their
obligations to American business con-
Germs by 1900, 900, 900 In the last fis-
cal year. The Federal Reserve Boards
official estimates today showed that
this tremendous buying OF American
goods on a credit basis had further
swollen Americas favorable trade bal
ance against the world to $4,000. 000,-
900.
And this represents money, due
American concerns. that is entirely
"unfunded." and merely stands today
as promises to pay when world ex-
change disorders are corrected.
The debts represented by this I'M
funded balance are at present uncol-
iectible because of the condition Of
foreign finances. The balance due on
trade accounts Is in addition to the
more than $4,000, 100000 due the
United States Government in war
loans. Americas credits to the rest
of the world. therefore, which still re-
main to be paid today stand at $l4.-

Losses In Debts.
The Federal Reserve Board today
for the first time, in a review Of the
menacins features OF this credit situa-
ton. admitted some American concerns
already have recognized that in these

there are many bad debts and absolute
losses. Part Of these bad debts repre-
sent cancellations Of goods I'm foreign
ports. Millions of dollars have been
lost to American commercial interests
through the refusal of foreign buyers
to accept shipments.
Reserve board experts estimate
that between $500 100000 and $780,.
600, 900 were floated in foreign loans
In the United States in the twelve

sum, however. is includued In the

American financial institutions, for
reasons OF business safety, are con-
