/ SETTLEMENT or
DEBTS URGED.

There is pending a grant Of au-
thority to the authorita tive branch of
the government for the funding and
settlement Of our vast foreign loans
growing out OF our grant of war
credits. With the hands Of the ex-
ecutive branch held impotent to deal
with these debts we are hindering
urgent readjustment among our debt
ors and accomplishing nothing for
ourselves. l think it is fair for the
congress to assume that the executive
branch of the government would
adopt no major policy in dealing with
these matters. which would conflic.
with the purpose Of congress in au-,
thoriZing the loans. and certainly
not without asking congressional ap-
proval but there are minor problems
