NE WYORK, Jan. 1S.-A Bank of Nations, with the United States as majority stockholder, an interna- tional trade dollar" as a substitute for gold, and conduct of world busi- ness on a credit instead of cash basis, were advocated by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, in an address today be for the American Manufacturers Ex- rort association, here

 The United States would choose 15 of the banks "A directors. The di rectors would have power to issue currency to be known as the inter national dollar, which would eliminate continual shipping of gold between countries, according to the plan.

PARIS, Jan. 1s.-(By the Associat- ed Press)-The question of accept ance of the supreme councils invita- ton to France to attend the Genoa conference was the only subject re- maining unfinished when the cabinet council tonight concluded it's consid- eration of the declaration to be read in the chamber Thursday.

 DEBT MEASURE
Republican Senators Decide on Program at Conference
 With Party Leaders
DETAILS NOT DECIDED
Method of Raising Funds For Payment of Bonus Remains
 an Uncertain Quantity

WASHINGTON. Jan. IS. - Senate Republicans voted today in party con- ference to press the allied debt re- funding bill and soldiers bonus bill. in that order There was a disagree ment on details of the measures. and the conference adjourned until tomOr- row.
 The vote to press the refunding bill was unanimous, but unofficial reports gave the result on the bonus measure as 31 for and against. with some opponents either absent or withhold ing their votes Republican leaders said. however. that the size of the majority insured passage of a bonus bill at this session.
 Borah Backs Democrats
 While there was no division on the allied debt bill, it developed that the measure, as reported by the finance committee, met with some objection. inquiry being made as to the reason for elimination of the provision re- quiring semi-annuai payment of inter est on the refunding bonds of the debtor nations It was understood Senator Borah Of Idaho, and some other Republicans. were ready to join with Democratic senators in demand ing that this provision be retained
 Spokesmen took pains to make it clear that the majority senators had declared for "a" bonus bill and not the particular bill referred back to the senate finance committee last July on the recommendation Of Pres ident Harding. Some leaders said. however, that the measure undoubted- ly would be similar to that one inso- far as the five ways for payment of adjusted compensation were concern ed.
 Sales Tax Up Again Most of the bonus discussion cen tered around means of providing ne cessary funds. Some senators favor ed measure carrying merely an ob- 1igatiou against the government with payments to he mfde ont os curron. receipts as money was available. but it was said that the preponderance of sentiment was far a specific provis- ion that the financing be done with funds derived from the sale of refund ing British bonds in the United States.
 This brought m the question o, T s7les tax or some other snocioi taxa- ton, rroronorts of sales 'av 7rg-- inc that some such plan would be ne i cessary to bridge the gap between the time of the passage of the bonus legislation and the time that funds from the sale of the refunded British bonds would become available. A general speeding up of the work Of the senate was also said to have been brought up. with suggestions for day and night sessions of the finance committee.
 Aside from the allied debt refund ing bill and the bonus measure, the senate will have before it the four power treaty. the tariff bill. and all annual supply measures as we'll as other important matters. With conversational election next Novembrr and warm campaign in prospect. many members of congress wish to get away from Washington around June 1.
