SCIENTIFIC STUDY
!, I OF DEBT PROBLEM
officials Say Russia viii ii
! Invite American Mis- 4
sion to Make Survey.

= A thorough, professional and sci
entifc study OF rne problem ofSn-
.ternational debts is inevitable. ac-
cording to the highest administra-
tion officials. J.
! 1t Is the view Of the govern
Harding and mem
bers of the cabinet-that the EYro-
pean situation can not be stabilized
until the great question of indebted
ness. both those involved in Ameri-
can loans to the allies and those in
volved in the allied reparatior
claims upon Germany have been
adjusted. y v TB/5E2~s
There was strong 1ntimation, ema,
mating from the White House yes
terday, that a temporary suspension
CT the drastic policy of allied powers
against Germany has rendered To-e
hopeful the establishment OF a foun'
dation for discussion of loans
namely. a readjustment of the Ger
man reparations demands to ar
amount that can be paid.
Experts to Study Problem.
Once this Is done. officials believe
the opening will have been made for
professional and scientific study
of the foreign debt problem and the
certain solution to come out ot
such a study.
The belief hereti that once tlIC
immediate crisis in Europe is ale
waited through proper reduction o'
he reparations demands, prelimi'
nary conferences already held re
garding the allied debt will permit
of an international gathering oI
financial experts to study the deb
problem.
Meantime. the Russian question
it was stated at the White House
may be viewed optimisticatlv. The
President feels that the Soviet gov.
errment will approve disp1tch OF ar
American commission Of experts tC
study the Russian economic situa.
ton. Such a study would naturally
be at least an approach toward rec.
ogrition Of the Russian government
That the time for such an arproac
has arrived was the belief ex-
pressed officially yesterday, fol
these reasons:
l. The United States government
has set down the general principle,
upon which recognition Of the Rus
sian government by the Cnitec
States could be based.
2, The Russian government ha!
made representations TO the effeC'
that many of these principles have
been complied with. while frankly
admitting that some of them have
not.
3. Restoration of Russian produc
tivity can be effected only through
entrance of foreign capital for de
velopment of Russian resources.
4. To accomplish such foreign In
vestments, in so far as American in
vestors are concerned. there must b,
certain assurances both from III,
American and Russian governments
5. Since the Russian governmen
is anxious for American investment
and since American investors ar,
favorable to entering Russia. ther,
remains the necessity for a first
| hand investigation to determine
whether the American governmen
! on its part can rcassure American
| investors and whether the Russian
government on its part is prepare
| to give the guarantees neCessar,
| for such investments.
Thus. it is held. the time has ar
rived for an expert investigator
which has prompted the govern
ment's approach to that end.

GENERAL STRIKE
AS RETALIATION
HINTED BY LABOR

Continued From Page One.
American Federation of Labor
would continue to give the striking
shopmen its whole-hearted support
and would appeal to workers
throughout the nation to contribute
funds to aid them.
Sees Rights Invaded.
GOmpers took occasion to point
out that the American Federation Of
LABOR at a recent convention had
adopted a resolution that injunc-
tions, which invaded the Constitu-
tional rights OF American workmen
should be treated as If they had
not been issued"
DO you consider that this injunc-
tion invades such rights?" he was
asked.
Il not only consider that it does
but 1 know it," he replied.
Asked if he thought the strike
leaders would ignore the Injunction
he answered. Il do not know. They
will have to follow their own bent
and convictions. They are intel
ligent and patriotic American citi-
zens and they are not likely to sur

and privileges at the behest of any
court"
Encourages BOlsheviSm, He Says.
The injunction will not get the
men back to work one moment
sooner" Gompers said. "Mr. Daugh-
Crty will find that he has stirred up
a hornets nest rather than having
placated the situation" He declared
that one of its chief effects would
be to promote the manufacture or
radiCalism and Bolshevism."
1T is quite strange" he said, that
the party Of Lincoln. which abol-
ished slavery. has been engaged in
a movement for compulsory labor"
Attorney General Daugherty has
become attorney for the railroad
companies" Mr.. Gomperz charged.
1T is most strange" he con-
tinued, that all the power of the
government should be used to
coerce the men into a surrender
of their rights and interest while
not one move has been made by
that government to punish the
railroads for no less than 104 vio-
lations of orders OF the Railroad
Labor Board.
RIdicules Injunction.
About the only thing the In
junction does not contain is an or
der to the men to return to work
under penalty of fine and imprison|
ment for contempt of court" he
said. They have closed up all the
avenues Of publicity except per-
haps the wireless. They seem tc
have overlooked broadcasting"
In his support OF his contention
that the terms of the injunction
violate the provisions of the Clay
ton antitrust law, Gompers cited
section 20. which specified condi-
tions under which restraining or.
ders may not be granted. This
! section provides that no restrain.
ing order or Injunction shall bt
granted unless necessary to pre-.
vent irreparable injury to prop
erty, or to a property right, of the
party making the application"
There was apprehension here
last night that the granting of the
restraining order on the eve Of the
expected settlement OF the an.
thracite coal strike might have q
deterring effect on these proceed
ings.

FIRE DESTROYS
 HISTORIC CHURCH

Quebec, Dec. 22-Fire thought to have started from a short circuit in the electrical wiring, destroyed NOtre Dame church here early today. t1 was considered one of the finest and snost artistic church buildings Tn Canada and the interior had been re- newed recently at a cost of $90, The loss was said to be covered by insurance.
 A messengere boy turned in tn the alarm when he noticed smoke is suing from the edifice. Bremen were unable for time to. locate the seat of the blaze, so dense was the smoke inside the building. Later it was found the flames had started between the ceiling and the roof. Heroic ef- forts made to save the sacred vessels were unsuccessful.
 The church knoown as the French cathe dral, was located on the opposrre side of square from the former site of the Jesuits college. and was first established in 1647. It underwent ~ restoration in 1745.
