CONp!!'sTEE DOES
- AGREE ON THE
) FOREIGN DEBT BILL
House Proposal Is Stumbling
Block to Senate-Simmons
Would Limit Power of
Proposed Board
BY Associated Press

Washington, December 6lThe
Senate finance committee quit work
tonight after a days discussion of
the foreign debt bill without having
reached an agreement on which the
measure could be reported to the
Senate. Further consideration of the
question was postponed until Thurs
day.
The House proposal placing the
power of negotiating bases of settle
ment of the war loans in the hands of
a supervisory commission of five
members was the stumbling block
which upset the plan of committee
leaders to provide the Senate at once
beginning work on the measure
1t was understood that several re-
publicans were inclined to support
the amendment OF Senator Simmons
of North Carolina, ranking democrat
on the committee, which would strict
ly limit the power of the commission.
Some democrats, however, were said
to oppose the Simmons amendment
and the North Carolina senator has
called a meeting of the minority
members for tomorrow, at which time
he hopes to have them decide on
united suppot for it.
Mr.. Simmons amendment provides
that there can be no cancellation or
remission of principal or interest on
any of the loans and specifies that
the interest payments must not be
delayed longer than July of next
year. The amendment provides fur
Their that the United States shall not
permit interchange of bonds of the
debtor power in payment of the obli-
cations except in the case of newly
created governments. The commits
sion would be left discretionary pow
ers in dealing with debtor govern
ments except as to cancellation or re-
mission of the debt.

DECLARES FEDERAL
CONTROL Of RAIL
RATES ESSENTIAL
Attorney for Carriers Says
Otherwise the Purpose of
the Government Will
Be Defeated

Washington. December 6.-Federal
control, through the interstate com
merce commission. of transportation
rates is essential If the government
is to guarantee adequate returns
upon investment in railroads, Bruce
Scott of counsel for the carriers as
serted today in presenting to the su-
preme court their side of the Wis
consin rate case. II the states are
permitted to supervise intrastate
rates to the point OF emasculating
orders OF the interstate commerce
commission he argued, the purpose
of the government would be inevi-
tably defeated.
The Wisconsin case presents for
decision by the court the question Of
whether the commissions orders
have standing within a states juris-
diction ever those of legally eonsti
tuted state utility commissions. VAL
idity of other features of the trans
portation act. as now enforced, would
be questioned in the Texas case,
which is to be taken UP tomorrow.
John E. Benton of counsel for Wis
consin declared state commissions
are now unable to function in the
determination of the reasonableness
of state rates and fares, either to
lower or raise them. and should
therefore accept the standard i'm
posed by the interstate commerce
commission.
If the federal government lawfully
has Jurisdiction over state rates and
fares, Mr.. Benton insisted, such con-
troll could not go further than to
prevent discrimination by states
rates and fares against interstate
commerce. To prevent discrimina-
ton. he said, the commission should
inquire into the reasonableness OF the
state rates and charges and should
not issue blanket order compelling
state traffic to contribute what he
said was an unequal share of the bur-
den of providing revenues to which
Congress has declared interstate
railroads are entitled.
