lloyd GEORGE USES
CARE IN COMMENT
ON bALF0UR LETTER
Gives No Indication of Plan
for Allied Conference
Next Week.

London, Aug. 3-(By the Associat-
ed Pressl.-Thursday's debate in the
house of commons on inter allied debts
and German reparations proved disap-
pointing. 1t had been expected the de-
bate would bring out further interest
ing facts respecting the recent note of
the Earl of Balfour on the subject
and regarding Great Britain's policy
on the whole subject of international
obligations.
1t was apparent that Premier Lloyd
George, Chancellor of the Exchequer
Horne, Herbert H. Asquith, one of the
liberal leaders, and other speakers
made a studied effort to say nothing
which would embarrass opinion and
impartial discussion of the subject at
next weeks important conference in
London between the allied leaders.
During the fiye-hour debate there
was constant reiteration of Great
brltalns intention to repay her debt
to the United States. but no pains were
spared to make clearly apparent Great
Britalns sacrifices in the war, her
generous postarmistice attitude and
her staggering burdens of taxation
Says England viii Pay
Sir Robert S. Horne, the chancellor
of the exchequer, said Great Britain
had no intention of suggesting any al
ternative Of her financial obligations to
the United states; that the government
recognized to the full Great Britain's
obhgatlons to pay the debt land we
90 not mean in any shape or form to
evade that obligation"
MI ASquith won mild appreciation
from one side of the house by declaring
the Balfour note impoljtic and manner,
tune, but said he hoped subsequent
events would prove the contrary,
Laughter greeted his statement that
the nted States knew Great Britain
was dealing in paper figures when she
emphasized the enormous extent of En-
ropes obligations.
Mr Lloyd George replied to Mr.. As |
4uith, whose remarks he characterized
~ unfortunate. declaring there was nm |
OF any concrete suggestions or |
better formula than already had been
ioopted for a solution of the debts and |
separations questions. The premier
.,alled attention to Mr. Asquith's desire
or a clean slate. He said that was eyl
'ctiy what Lord Balfour's note had adj
'ocated ' "'
Not Clean Slate
but IT is not clean slate" he added,
"hen you wipe off every debt due ms
ihd when you engrave more deenlv
ipoh me slate the debt which is due by
is TO other people. That isn't q cIean
late. 1t neither cleans it nor adorns
t. nor makes it more useful for furtb- i
II use" ui III
Inc premier said he did not expect
lext week conference 10 settle the
ltuatlon, which was fraught with many
omplexirles and complications
he declared it was most difficult
roplem TO get the people of the world
Iace Iacls ana realities and thar the
'orld must judge Germany's canac;tv
pay, not by lump sum but bv the
'eaith she would be able to transmit

GRAIN MAN ADVISES
HOLDING Of CROPS
FOR HIGHER PRICES
Prospects for Stronger Markets
Bright, Says George
E. Marcy.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-President George
E. Marcy of the Armour Grain com
pany, issued signed statement Thurs
day night urging farmers to hold back
their grain for reasonable prices and
saying that as prices for grain go up
better business throughout the whole
country will follow. He says:
An upward movement in grain prices
Is in prospect and the situation prom
ises to be of such financial benefit to
the American farmer that he in turn
Will be in position to materially i'm
prove general business.
An orderly and gradual marketing
of existing wheat stocks will end the
present depressed price condition and
there are tremendous economic factors
at work to force slower and more
stable marketing.
Settlement of the coal strike will
result in decreased amount of rolling
stock cabable of moving grain to ter
minals and expected improvement in
general business should further affect
the amount of equipment available.
"On the other hand, the demand
promises to get constantly better.
The American farmer holds the key
to the situation. He sold his surplus
grain last spring at high prices. Good
crops and good supplies are in prospect,
and thanks to the relief measures
adopted by Eugene Meyer through the
War Finance corporation and the farm
board, the farmer is now in fair posi-
ton to hold his grain for reasonable
price.
With the farmer wisely holding back
his grain, with economic conditions
working toward the same result the
end of the present low level on farm
products seems to be in sight. and as
prices for grains go up. better business
conditions throughout the whole coun-
try will follow"

ON DEBT NOTE
Cancellation Note From

Europe Must Disarm If
y. S. Is to Wipe Out
Debts, Says Senator.

! Washington. Aug 3-Asserting that
the Balfour note to the allied nations
concerning war debts really was in
tended for the United States, Senator
Borah of Idaho, republican member of
the senate foreign relations commit
tee, sharply attacked suggestions for
! cancellation of war debts. Senator
Borah, leader of the senate ''irrecOn-
cilable" wing, issued statement de-
claring that any debt remuneration
would have to be preceded by European
disarmament.
The people could never be greatly
interested in any proposition for the
cancellation of any part of the debt
TO the United States unless the pro-
popstion is accompanied by a definite
and specific plan supported by certain
guarantees for practical disarmament,
both by land and sea- Senator Borah
asserted, adding that the disarmament
program of the Washington arms con-
ference had been halted and crushed
Assuming, for the purpose of this
statement" he said, that there will
come a time when the United States
will consider the propopsition of can
ceiling a part. or all. of the foreign
debt, | take it that that time will
never come during the program as now
suggested. There is one thug in all
this discussion from abroad relative to
cancelling the foreign debt which is
never mentioned and that is the
subject of disarmament.
There is nothing TO be gained by
our cancelling this debt. or any part Of
it, if the gigantic military and arma-
ment programs in Europe are to con- |
tnue. 1t would amount in practical
effect to our aiding and sbetting the |
building up of these great military |
armament establishments and thereby |
abetting war. If cancellation is to be
considered at all. it should be con-
sidered in the interest of humanity and .
economic sanity.
Within the last week, the premier
Of England had declared: Keep your

Interest of Senators in
Various Articles.

Washington, Aug. 3. = Upsetting
plans of republican and demodratic
leaders for final vote on the admins
tration tariff bill on August II, Sena-
tor Lenroot, republican, Wisconsin
gave notice Thursday in the senate that
there would be no unanimous consent
agreement for a final vote, at least until
all important committee amendments
to the measure had been discussed and
acted upon.
The Wisconsin senator said he was
anxious to limit debate and proposed
an arrangement under which, beginning
Thursday, discussion would have been
confined exclusively TO the tariff, with
each senator limited to 10 minutes
talk on amendments on the bill after
August IL. Senator Lodge. the re-
publican leader, objected to this, how
ever. and the effort to come to an un-
derstanding in the open senate ended.
Subsequently private negotiations
looking to at least a curtailment of
discussion were reopened and some re-
publicans were of the opinion that
these might lead to results. Certain
democratic senator's. however. were
represented as objecting to limitation
of debate until after votes on the sec
tons dealing with duties on sugar and
hides.
The democratic proposal for final
vote on August 10. and the republican
counter proposition for a vote on Hu-
gust II, led to long discussion.
