"One might as we'll he handed a
toothpick." continued Mr.. Dawes,

President Asks Congress
to Give Treasury Head
Blanket Order in Deal
ing with Nations
Owing U. S.

Washington, June 23-Unrestrict-
ed authority for the secretary of the
treasury in refunding the approx.
mateiy ten billion dollars owed by
the allied nations to this country
was asked by President Harding to-
day in the first administration bill
sent to Congress.
The bill, drafted at the treasury
department was forwarded by the
President to Chairmen of Senate and
House committees with urgent
recommendation for enactment. It
was introduced Immediately in the
Senate by Senator Penrose and COM
mittee hearings ordered for next
Wednesday.
Complete powers for settling with
the allied nations would be vested
in Secretary Mellon under the bill.
With the Presidents approval he
would be authorized to accept the
securities of debtor or other nations
in exchange for their notes. The bill
also would confer unlimited auth
GRITTY to defer payment of interest or
principal and to settle outstanding
claims against the United States.
Announcement of the administra-
ton refunding plan was made at the
White House and a letter from Sec
rotary Mellon to the President out
lining the bill, presented needs for
tn blanket powers requested. Citing
that the treasury now was without
authority to convert, refund or de-
fer payment of the allied debts and
interest, Secretary Mellon said that
the divers conditions required a gen.
eral grant of powers to the treasury.
In this connection he said that 1t
might be advisable in the case of
nations owing debts to other coun-
tries in addition to the United States
to consider ocmprehensively the en-
tire debt of such countries, ~
SO as to work out refunding plan
reasonably within the ability of such
country to carry OUT
No plans for disposition Of the al
lied securities were given by Secre-
tary Mellon. Senator Penrose said
he presumed they would be offered
to American bankers and the pub
lie at times and in quantities with
out disturbance of finance.
The administration bill was re-
ceived by most Republican leaders
with approval. 1t was pronounced
by Senator Penrose to be the most

on the covenant of the League of
Nations was made in the House of
Lords tonight by Lord Curzon. Sec

1.-THE allies.
The speech was made during a
general discussion of mandates. in
which he admitted that parliament
was entitled to more Information,
but he said this was a subject in
volved in obscurity. The language
of the covenant was such that not
even a trained lawyer knew what 1t
meant.

Bank of England
Unexpectedly Cuts
Its Discount Rate

London, June 23.-The Bank OF
England sprang a surprise today by
reducing its rate of DISCOUNT from 81
to per cent. just as the banks were
making up their half yearly accounts.
1t was expected li..l. during l..e day
the deposit rates would be lowered.
1t is believed the chief reason for
the decision was the necessity flat the

more cheaply. The government re-
Gently has been able to place treasury

quence of cheaper money conditions
and with another half per cent. of

place them still lower.
The recent reduction of the federal
reserve bank rate in the United States
and cheaper money conditions in
America were also guiding influences
to the lower minimum rate.
