Fort Pierce, ffty-five miles north OF
Palm Beach at three o'clock this af-

its donation of flowers and fruit to

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-A billion
dollars for housing would be made
available by passage of bin enab-
ling national banks to use a larger
proportion of savings deposits for
long ter mloans. Senator Calder,

The housing shortage in the

and hampering the nations indus
trial development.

should be passed before the OPEN

selves, he said, had admitted
'mulcting" the government and
public out of amounts estimated
from $500, 900, 900 to $500, 100000.

Petrosrad in Mourning.
'Petrograd is in mourning, al
most deserted" the report on condi-
tions in Russia said. 'Of its two mil
lion and a half inhabitants there
are now little more than soc, 600
left. Shops closed, private trade
prohibited. shop windows smashed
the shutters hanging in tatters
along the streets contribute to make
the city mournful and ugly. 1t is a
horrible thing, a spectacle which
wrings the heart and brings a curse
to the lips.
'The roads which were once upon
time paved with wooden blocks
are now almost totally destroyed
having been torn up by the citizens
themselves for fuel to heat their
houses. Thirty-six thousand wooden
houses were destroyed last winter
to provide fuel. Drinking water is
entirely lacking throughout the
city because the cold bursts the
pipes"
Taking up the rationing of food
by the Soviet authorities, the report
states that the ordinary food CON
sists of a little bread made with a
mixture of rye and straw and IS
per cent water; a dish OF soup made
with millet cooked in water and oc-
casionally a bit OF rotten meat or
stale fish. The militarized workmen
get a more abundant meal"

l. Secretary Houston, replying to

nounced that the Treasury Depart
ment had suspended all negotiations
toward defining the status of the
allied obligations. Such negotiations
should await the new administra-
ton, he said.
>. The Treasury Department also
has decided to discontinue further
advances to the allies on existing
credits until the Harding regime de-
fines its policy.
,. State Department officials an
nOunced that any steps toward can
collation. or reduction of the allied
war Indebtedness rested now with
Congress. They also expressed the
belief that the allies were fully able
to pay, although advising against
the United States becoming a ''har-
assing creditor"

As a result Of the decision 20

allies, on credits which already have

Greece, especially, needed the
money. Since the installation OF
Constantine she has put out feelers
as to her chances of getting a fur
ther advance. but the Treasury De-
partment declined to act until the
State Department decided the status
Of American relations with the new
Greek government. This was never
done.
Nothing to Bind.
Secretary Houston, in announcing
that negotiations with the allies
have been suspended, also stated
that no official proposals had been
made on the loan question which
would bind either the United States
or foreign governments, unless an
agreement with England was ex-
cepted.
Referring to the Chamberlain
statement, Senator Walsh Of Massa-
chusetts said:
This is the first information
given to the American public that
an actual proposal was made by a
debtor government to cancel her
obligations. The American people
have a right to know whether or
not such a proposal was made as
claimed by the English statesman,
and. if so, why we were not inform
ed. especially in view of the propa-
ganda spread in favor of the plan"
Both State and Treasury Depart
ment officials said they were not
able to find trace of any such formal
proposal as that mentioned by
Chamberlain.
