WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.--No Ameri-
can commission Of business men will be
named BY the Chamber Of Commerce
Of the United States 70 determine the
amount Of rcparations Germany Is 70
pay until the Allied premiers at their
conference in Paris, beginning January
2, have passed on the problem.
The Industrie und Handelstag, an
organization Of German business men
which corresponds 10 the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the United States. was so
advised to-day in a eablegram dis
patched BY President Julius II. Barnes
in reply 10 its suggestion that Ameri-
can business men determine Germanys
ability to meet her reparations pay
ments.
The German proposal was made In
lengthy eablegrsm to President Barnes
last Tuesday. The Germans gave as
suranees that their government would
welcome such a commission, and laid
down the broad principle that Ger
many shall make restitution 20 the Ut
most Of It's ability.
The chambers reply said the official
conference % Paris should first at
tempt to outline a definite settlement
before an unofficial body Is considered.
The publication to-day Of the CORE
spOndence between the American busi-
~wrwmfusfow rwA tho HaWltW
chants association follows the efforts
Of President Barnes to ky before the
American State Department the view
Of American business men that some
solution Of the reparations question Is
necessary before any distinct step to-
ward world recovery is possible. In
making public the correspondence,
President Barnes said:
Barnes Publishes Messages
80 much interest has been evineed

ness men Of America as 10 what might
be done 70 facilitate a definite settle

United States feels justified in giving
Rublicity 10 cable received last
Tuesday morning from the organiza-
tion which corresponds most nearly TO
the Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States and together with that
cable the answer which the Chamber
Of Commerce Of the United States has
sent. The Importance which a repara-
tions settlement has assumed In busi-
ness and Industrial circles all over the
world is illustrated by this cable and
It's answer. The belief is growing
everywhere that a definite settlement
Of this question carried out in gooo
faith would be the chief approach TO
distinct progress in world recovery.

Move for Republic
OfLatin.American
States Fails Here
Mission in Washington Is
Sure Of Success in 1926,
However, Says Official;
Ambitions Are Blamed

Alfredo Mejia. son Of the former
Minister Of Salvador 10 the United
States and confidential secretary Of
the Salvador mission now at Washing
ton, announced yesterday at the Hotel
Astor that the mission had failed in
It's purpose. The object Of the mis-
sion was to establish a United States
Of Central America, comprised Of five
states now separate entities-Guate-
mala, Honduras, San Salvador. Mica
raRua and Costa Riea.
Mr.. Mejia declared the failure was
due 10 separate political ambitions Of
the states, and the hope Of a Central
American Union must now be post
poned until 1925, when the delegations
from the states will reconvene In
Washington. There Is no doubt. said
Mr.. Mejia, that the United States Of
Central America will be formed then.
for the delegations have agreed upon II.
"A federation Of the FIVE states Of
Central America as one republic Is i'm
perative for the existence Of all Of
them" he said. AT present II Is nee
ossary for each to maintain an army,
government and corps Of officials, and
the cost is, Of course, enormous. And
then We are a Homogeneous people; We
speak the same tongue-Spanish. We
are ell Of the same religious belief
Catholic. We have the same products
and the same interests. We arc all
Latin-Americans. The maintenance Of
hve different governments is injurious
10 each Of them"
Mr.. Mejia pointed out that as one
republic Latin-America would become
world power. since Il would secure
prestige and standing throughout the
world. DR.. Alfonso Quinonez. a strong
advocate Of the federation. will be
elected President Of Salvador in the
elections 20 be held on January Il.

supported by both political parties.

Senator France went on 10 say that
as a banking proposition, II debtor
was insolvent, a bank would do three
things--defer payment. find assets 10
settle the account and seek 10 re-
hsbilitate the debtor.
"The Secretary Of the Treasury sug-
gested only one Of these remedies"
said Senator France.
Senator Smoot. in the exchange Of
views with Senator France, said the
reparations demanded from Germany
ARE such that she cannot meet them" "
Senator France extolled the late
Senator Knox, Of Pennsylvania, as the
statesman who on the floor Of the
Senate first pointed out that the worst
thing about the Versailles Treaty was
the repsrations clause. lie said for
this "the viper press" "the Tory
press" condemned Mr.. Knox AZ a pro
German because he suggested the re-
duction Of the reparations.'

ROME. Dec. q CBy The Associated
Press Premier Mussolini informed
his Cabinet to-day that he would not
attend the conference OF Allied Pre-
miers In Paris next week.
The decision OF tho Premier pro-
duced a profound impression. II was
interpreted az meaning that he had no
confidence that the gathering would
reach n satisfactory result
Among the reasons given the Council
Of Ministers for not making the jour.
ney we're that no settled policy had
been decided upon and that the cues
tion OF timber deliveries BY Germany
would create new difficulties between
Great Britain and France.
The Premier also told the ministers
that he had too much work 10 do ~
home 10 70 abroad unless there was
almost certainty OF the conference
reaching results which would warrant
his absence from italy.
Reviewing TIE internal situation,
Premier Musso..li said IL was improg-
ing. II was the governments intention
20 put an end, once for all time, 20
the conflicts between the Fascist and
Communists. To this end the projects
throughout the country had been or
dercd 20 keep their police forces mo-
blized every Saturday from midnight
TO the following Sunday at midnight
In readiness 20 suppress outbreaks.
The Premier explained the govern
mCnt's plan for the creation Of vol.
untnry militia for the preservation Of
order The men would Be selected from
the Fascist organization and be
placed under the direct orders of tho
head Of the government The services
Of the men would be gratuitoua. and In
the event OF q general mobilization the
Fascist members Of the militia would
reJoin their regiments with full rank.
No other organization OF military
nature would b. permitted. The Cabi-
net council adopted the plan.

BARONS TO OPEN SERIES WITH THE PELICANS TODAY
Drake or Bates to Pitch. Stewart Joins BaronS
 Today
Fly MARVIN MCCARTHY

The Barons, after defeating the Mobile Bears in series at the Gulf City, two games to one, open a three game series in New Orleans today. After the Crescent City series. the Baronials return to Birmingham to open series with the Mobile Bruins at Redwood.
 Manager Molesworth crossed the fans up by sending Phil Morrison back against the Bears yesterday, and Phil crossed the Bears up by winning the game. Phil pitched a good game of ball yesterday, and marked up his fourth straight victory for the Barons, and his second in as many games.
 Just who will pitch today's game is problematical. By the law of TO- tation. it is Drake's turn to start, with Bates being held in reserve. These two young right-handers will probably decide the starter between them this afternoon.
 Stuffy Stewart, Baronial key stoner for two years, who was sent to the Pittsburg Pirates for trial this spring, has been returned to Birming ham, and will join Manager Moies worth at New Orleans today. Stew art will probably hold down second base today if he arrives at the Cres- cent City in time.
 The Barons are back at 300 per centage now, having won six games and lost six.
