son aggregate. The $4,000 tons for
both was . compromise proposal
Comnromise HELMS Frame

On the basis of capital ship strength,
as already accented, France would have
submarine tonnage of about $4,000
as against 10000 each for the United
States and Great Britain. The new
American plan, however, would permit
france TO have $4,000 tons. as against
$4,000 each for the United States and
Great Britain.
Aside from their contention for sup
preston of submarines rs world pol
icy, the British delegates have indi-
Gated that if submarines were to be
retained they would urge reduction in
retained tonnage from the original
American plan. They have suggested
45,oo0 instead of 10000 tons as the
figure they thought about right for
Great Britain and the United States.
British just half way on this conten-
sion by proposing to cut American and
British strength in submarines from
10000 to 10000 tons.
In the same way the $4,000 ton fig
ure for France may be compared with
the desire of the French experts for
10000 tons, and is also apparently an
effort to meet half way the French
desire to increase submarine tonnage
as it would meet half way the British
desire to reduce.
Net Reduction $4,000 Tons
Another feature of the American
compromise that stands out is that
while it proposes a middle of the road
course as to both British desires TO
reduce and French desires to increase
submarines. the net result for the five
powers would be substantial reduc-
+ion in their aggregate, as Great Brit
ain and the United States combined
would scrap nearly 10000 tons in sub
mersibles.
What eventually will be done with
size British abolition proposal was not
apparent tonight. but the suggestion
Cor creation by the conference of a
continuing commission to study the
~,hole submarine question seemed to
be gaining considerable favor. If it
did not recommend total abolishment
such a commission would be expected
to make recommendations for restric-
tion of submarine warfare in such
way as to prevent recurrence of the
submarine horrors of the World War.
It may be found feasible to combine
the commission plan with the project
for world conference, in which case
the report of the Investigating body
would become the basis of discussion
when the next international meeting is
called.

Baker of the Mint announced to-day.
Two designs for the dollars, which
mark the first change in the American
silver dollar in twenty-five years, were
submitted, Mr.. Baker said One design
showed an American eagle clutching
broken sword, but the other showed
only the eagle. The latter has been
approved and accepted, the director

The new dollars will portray the ad-

The action was taken after they sur

valued at $4,000 as partial restitution.
They previously had turned over $22,-

Former Senator, ON His
87th Christmas Eve, Says
Best Act for Nation Is
to Help Stabilize Trade
Praises Harding's Policy
Decries Talk of Japanese
Peril and Declares Arms
Farley Is New Epoch

Former United States Senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew, hale and cheerful on his
eighty seventh Christmas Eve, last
night, at his home in West Fifty
fourth Street, said that the best thing
the United States can do with the in
debtedness of S11,OO0o00,o00 Europe
owes US is to stop trying to collect it,
and tell our debtors on the other side
of the sea that we are with them to
stabilize business conditions. Incident
ally he added that President Harding is
making good, and that this world is
mighty good old world even if the
neighbor chickens do stroll into your
yard now and then.
"There is disposition on the part of
some Of our people to insist that the
United States 60 it alone. even in in
ternational affairs said Senator De-
pew. "You see people every few days
rising on their hind legs and saying,
them pay-make them pay every dollar
of it
"Well, it sounds good to some folks
to talk like that, but they seem to for
get that the European Indebtedness was
on account Of munitions and supplies
bought here, and that the figures in
clude enormous profits by our people.
Probably less than half that great
total represents real money. A good
many people get into the bad habit of
reckoning bad debts as assets. About
S2,000,000,000 of the S11 900, 100000
is interest, and probably less than half
of the gross sum should be reckoned a
real money owing US. In my opinion
this enormous indebtedness to US could
properly be used to stabilize exchange
and create a market for American
manufacturers and farmers.
Assails Blocs in Congress
Europe cannot pay without some
thing to pay with. She has got to have
a chance to go to work and make up
for four years of lost time. Our friends
in Congress, responsible for the organi-
zation of these blocs we are hearing so
much about, are troubled because their
constituents have not been making any
money. Organizing. b-ocs to oppose ra
tional suggestions by the President is
can do is to talk things over with the
President and support him. 1t is his
job to act and speak for all of the
people. All of the people are more i'm
portant than blocs of the people.
part of the world is starving to
death, or pretty near it. AS a pros
porous neighbor, we cannot maintain
a policy of isolation. We must lend a
hand and help Europe to get onto it's
feet once more. the only might that
we have any right to be proud of is
the might that comes from right. And
that is not new thought, for Lincoln
gave utterance to it at Cooper Union
in 1860.
