EUROPEAN CREDIT

INTERNATIONAL C0Ns0RTIUM
by the Associated Press

Paris. Dec. 31.--The economic con-
ference Of allied bankers and manu-
featuring interests which has been con-
siderinG measures for re-estab'ishins
the international credit of Europe
agreed today upon the draft Of project
for an international consortium which
will be submitted TO the Allied Supreme
Council at Cannes.
A representative Of Japan today.
oined the British. French, Italian and
Helgian delegations in the Conference.
The project, as 1t had previously been
trawn up In London, was somewhat
modified in the talks that have occurred
between the British and French in
terests here. 1t Is based partially upon
the international credit scheme Of Or.
J. Ter Meulen, the Dutch economist,
which was approved by the financial
conference Mt Brussels last year.
The idea is first to upbuild the pub!
lie utilities, railways and kindred
agencies in countries where economic
Stagnation Is due TO lack of transpor.
tation. The assets Of the countries thus
aided will, as provided for in the Ter
Meulen scheme, be pledged ns security
for the loans involved in cases where
the consortium has not given a con-
cession for operation.
Austria, which is regarded by the
conferees as in the direst need, Is ex.
pected to be the first beneficiary in the
working out of the scheme, with the
hope that her recovery will contribute
to the improvement of the situation
generally and particularly to that in the
smaller states Of Central Europe.
The capital of the consortium will bt
definitely fixed only after the council
at Cannes has passed upon the scheme
Sums varying from f5..O0o,O 900 to f2O,
600, 900 are talked Of. 1t is pointed
out. however. that the amount of the
Capital is immatcrial, as the consortium
itself plans TO find funds outside 1t;
own capital, acting in most cases
merely US clearing house.

JUDGE WOULD STOP

Make EN- Go Slower to Help
EN- Stay Welded, Mona
ghan's Thought
LAW COULD FORCE DELAY
Make en- go slower.

Make en- go slower.
There in nutshell is the soothing
treatment needed to calm the troubled
bilIows on the sea of matrimony, nc
cording TO Judge Monaghan.
If they won't 50 slow Of their own
accord, declared the Judge, when dis,
cuss!ns the number OF divorces and
btgamous marriages that have been
l,othcring the courts recently, "slow
them down by law"
Judge Monaghan is in accord with
the opinion of Judgr Alfred J. Talley.
a New York jurist, who declared from
the bench that the only way TO curb
bigamous marriages Is to pass law
prohibiting III" ceremony until month
after Issuing the license.
Good results nrr bound 20 follow
law OF that kind" continued Judge
Monaghan. "Of course, in PhlladCl- =
phia, the percentage Of bgamous mar.
riages Is small. But We have the Elk
ton weddings TO contend with.
MY observation is that many OF
these unions turn ont unhappily. These
couples go TO Elkton, get a license on
demand and are married next door, so
10 speak. Not moment TO reflect. and
'ehection often Is valuable when il
comes TO marriage"
That all wrong in the Judge :
mind. To all appearances he believes a
deliberate look into the future often
will stay the coy hand of Cupid.
especially where CupId's hand has been
held too soon.
Haste makes waste, Is an old adagC
with n new application, according to
Judge Monaghan's vi'wS, and he sug
