MAY "SELL" WAR DEBTS HERE
President Harding Would Change the
Foreign Loans Into Long, Term
Bonds.

Washington, June 2O.-Congress will
be asked by the administration for
authority to readjust the entire for
eign loan situation so that the treas
ury may convert loans of foreign gov
ernments held by the United States
into definite, long-term form. An
nouncement to this effect was made
after the regular cabinet meeting at
which the question was discussed The
administration plan contemplates con-
version of the loans into interest-bear-
ing certificates which could be alb
sorbed by American business and COM
mercial interests. In some cases, it
was explained, the treasury already
has sufficient authority to make these
conversions, but in other cases, par
ticularly involving overdue interest,
additional legislation is necessary to
put the plan into effect.

UNITED STATES WILL
GET GERMAN BONDS
Reserve Says Reparation Securities
Are Coming to America to
Be Absorbed.

Washington, June 17.-Absorption
OF substantial blocks Of German
reparatiOn bonds in the American
financial markets is unavoidable"
the federal reserve board said in a
formal discussion Of the PREPARATIONS
settlement.
However, termination of the repara-
lions controversy was viewed by the
board as an economic triumph open
ing up promising outlook for future
European adjustment with a special
bearing upon the position Of the Uni
ted States.
This is found" the board said, Gin
the fact that the adjustment unques-
tionably eliminates the most serious
element Of uncertainty that has af-
fected international trade since the
war. So long as there was hesitation
regarding the final adjustment, trade
between Germany and all other ma
tons, including the United States,
was necessarily more or less inter-
rupted.
mot only was this true, but the
considerable investment of American
capital in German enterprises which
had begun about year ago could not
safely be continued and was necessar-
lily suspended.
"Sale Of German government obli-
cations in this country, whether with
or without allied Endorsement, was
equally unlikely to be successful. In
deed ever since the appearance of
serious friction regarding the settle
ment there has been practical
cessation of European offerings Of
this kind.
'"This situation, fortunately, al
ready has become much less acute and
conditions are approaching a rather
more normal position. That our mar
ket will be called upon to carry a
substantial share of the necessary
financing growing out of the German
adjustment will naturally be unavoid-
able"

German Capital in Argentina.

@NE of the results of the present economic stu-

rials The inability of the German manufacturers to
materials, their labor troubles, and the
heavy taxation which they subject have infu-
enced them to seek this means of carrying their
occupations with great profit and free from the dan
ger of interference by the Socialist government. 1t
is reported from Buenos Aires that a great deal of
German capital is going to Argentina to be used in
setting up manufacturing plants to handle the Argen-
tine products, which formerly imported into
Germany
The textile industry shows the greatest activity
along this line 1t is said that large number of tex
tile mills in Saxony have been dismantled preparatory
to shipping the machinery to Buenos Aires. num-

~ which has been recently inagurated in Bel
GUM has for its object the creation of pub
lie sentiment for the adoption of single language
in place of the three which are now spoken. The
is of particular interest to use because the
language whose adoption the society advocates is
neither French. Flemish German, which are now
spoken in Belgium. but English One obvious reason
why English is chosen is that it would be easier to
the population to the idea of adopting neu-
tal language than to get them to agree to any one
of those in use
1t is also argued that since English contains
certain number of Latin and German words It would
be comparatively easy for the Begians to acquire it.
Another is that the English language has al
ready a world wide use and there many who be-
leve the population of Belgium do not, as is well
known, lavish upon each other an excessive amount
of affection The fact that these races speak different
language does not contribute to the removal OF the
cause of friction between them If the next genera
ton could be brought up to the use OF a common
language it is believed that good deal of progress
would be made in welding the Belgian poru I'm into
