GREEK PASSPORTS FORGED
United States Consul Bares Whole

Athens, Jan. 29.-Wholesale frauds
in passports, carried on by Greek sub
iects emigrating to the United States,
have been discovered by w. L. Lowrie,
American consul general here. More
than so passports were submitted at
the consulate one day for American
vises and % were found to bear forged
signatures and false seals of he Greek
foreign office. 1t is feared many Greeks
already have secured admission to the
United States on similar spurious
passes, as over 5000 persons seek
American vises each month. 1t has
been found that a small clique of
Greeks have carried on regular traf-
fic in bogus passports. In one case
5000 drachmas, normally about 5000,
was paid for one of these documents.

ALLIED GOVERNMENTS TO
PROBE AUSTRIAN TROUBLE
Supreme Council Refuses to Put Cues
ton Up to League OF
Nations.

Paris, JAM 26.--After rejecting a
problem over to the League of Nations.
the allied supreme council decided to
appoint commission to make thor
ough inquiry into tine entire question
Of the economic situation in Europe,
With particular reference to Austria.
The council took this action In view
of the opinion of the conferees that,
as the Austrian situation involved the
entire European economic situation,
it was advisable to have this situation
thoroughly inquired into through the
most competent representatives of the
allied countries obtainable.
These representatives, it was decid-
ed. will be Sir Robert Horn, president
of the British board of trade; Louis
Louchar, France; Sig. Ciannini, the
Italian economic expert. and probably
the ministers of commerce of other
allied countries, including Belgium.
During the discussion in the coun-
Gil the general opinion was developed
that it was useless to try to do any
thing for Austria apart from the So
luton of the economic problems of
the neighboring countries, with which
Austria's future is bound to be close
'ly connected, and the suggestion from
the Austrian section of tie reparations

of S25,000,000 yearly for ten years.

SENATE PASSES GRONNA
PACKING CONTROL BILL
Measure Would Put Meat Industry
Under Strict Government Super
vision-Goes to House.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The Gronna
bill placing the packing industry un-
der strict government control was
passed by the senate. 1t now goes to
the house, where, it is said, there is
little prospect of it's passage, at least
not at this session.
Although it became apparent when
the senate by agreement began ballot
ing on the amendments to the bill at
four o'clock that it would carry, the
final vote of 46 to 3S, an hour later,
came as distinct shock to its oppo-
nentS.
They had confidently predicted that
whatever the result might be, it would
be close. They were totally unpre-
pared for the show of high feeling
against the packers disclosed by the
vote.
The chief purpose of the Gronna
bill is the establishment of federal
live stock commission, with powers TO
prevent conspiracies among the pack
ers to control markets and prices, re-
strict food supplies, crush competi-
ton or profteer.
Preparation of these practices were
charged against the packers by the
federal trade commission, whose re-
port to congress, after an exhaustive
investigation of their activities, re-
suited in the Introduction of the GrOn-
ma bill.
Another big feature of the measure
is the provision which requires that
within two years after it's passage the
packers shall have relinquished their
stock yard holdings. This also has
been undertaken in the proceedings
brought against the packers by the
Department of Justice. which are now
in the courts.

Foreign Policy Is Revealed.

Plan Would Also Merge Preparations
With Debts, Thereby Shifting the
Burden From Europe to Amer
ica-CounciI DeadIocked.

Paris, Jan. 28.-The entire allied
war debt to America will be CONSOLE
dated in long-term notes maturing
from 1886 to 1947 as a result of a
suggestion by President-elect Hard
ing. The first inkling Of Harding's
future foreign policy. was revealed
here when Ambassador Geddes, after
his cross Atlantic DASH held his first
conversation with Lloyd George.
The conference meeting, which was
scheduled for IL 80 in the morning,
was called off by the British premier
who telephoned the other delegates
suggesting an adjournment in order
TO discuss the proposition individual
ly with each delegate in secret ses-
sion.
Shifts Burden to America.
Succinctly put, the proposal in the
eyes of the ''big five" means that the
entire burden of the war is to be
shifted from Europe to America.
Encouraged by Hardings willing
ness to assume the financial RESPONSE
bility for the war and setting Europe
on it's feet, the supreme council led
by Lloyd George devised scheme by
which the PREPARATIONS problem could
be merged with the allied debts to
America
Late in the afternoon Lloyd George,
BRAND and Count Sforza agreed upon
a plan under which the allies. would
accept a much reduced indemnity
from Germany. Abandoning the eX-
aggerated pretensions of French
Finance Minister Doumer, they will
arrive at sum probably amounting
to 100,000,000,O marks gold This
um would be taken care of by Ger
man treasury notes which in their
turn the allies would turn over to
America, backed by their signatures
as guarantors of the consolidated
debt.
Morgan House Backs Scheme.
While it is said that the Harding
proposal referred solely to the debts
of Great Britain to America, the idea
to merge the French, Italian, Belgian
and all other allied debts was seized
by Lloyd George who Immediately
proposed it to his fellow premiers
here.
1t is understood that Lord Chal-
mers is to be the negotiator for the
consolidation which is expected to be
completed during the coming summer.
According to information here the
biggest banking interests in America,
headed by the house of Morgan, are
backing the scheme which provides
for investment which will net g per
cent. 1t is said such an issue would
be benefited with exemptions from
taxation the same as Liberty bonds.
This total debt of the allies to
America. excluding Russia's share,
means $24,0OO,OO0000 in gold. Paris
bankers calculated that the great
American financial interests that are
handling the proposition are about to
