HITCHCOCK FAVORS
WORLDWIDE BANK
TO GOVERN TRADE
Plan to Settle Disarma'
ment Problem Included
Is Senator's Project.

NEW YORK. Aug. "A plan for
Of $2,400,00o.000. which would revo-
lutionize the methods Of conducting
international commercial transactions.
was advanced by Senator Hitchcock.
of Nebraska. IN a speech today before
the midsummer convention Of the Ma
tional Retail Drygoods Association.
Under Senator Hitchcock's pro-
posal, paper issued by the projected
bank would be substituted for gold
as the basis of international credit
and what the Senator characterized
as gambling in foreign exchange
would be- prevented. Among other
things, the plan includes a settlement
of the disarmament problem. In many
particulars it differs from the plan
of an international bank suggested
some months ago by Frank A. Van
derlip.
U. 5. Would Control Bank.
As the Senator proposed. the bank
would be incorporated and the United
States government would subscribe to
81. 800, ,000.0 of the stock. With this
stock ownership. the United States
would have thirteen directors of
twenty-four, and thus would have
control. Other nations would be en-
titled to subscribe 5000. 900. 900 of the
stock and banks, bankers. exporters
and importers interested in interna-
tional trade would be entitled to sub
scribe to $500. 900, 900 worth
To become stockholders. nations of
the world, under the plan. may
make treaty arrangements with the
President of the United States. One
third of the capital to be subscribed
by each nation or stockholder Is to
be paid In gold and the remaining
two-thirds may be paid in interest
bearing bonds of solvent govern
ments."
Under the proposed plan a solvent
government Is one that makes due
provision for all its external claims,
maintains a balanced budget and en-
ters into an arrangement with the
United States for armament reduc-
ton for the purpose of assuring its
solvency.
Plans to Aid Commerce.
The bank would not only finance
international commerce by the pur-
chase and sale of bills Of exchange
and lend money to exporters and i'm
porters. but it may also include in its
operation the purchase and sale of
government securities of those nations
owning stock in the bank. Hitchcock
proposes. The bank would also have
power to issue currency. to be known
as the International dollar.

England and Italy Refuse
To Yield as France
Presses Demands.
BELGIAN MEDIATION
OFFERS ARE FUTILE
Lloyd George Summons
Cabinet to Make Grave
Decisions

LONDON, Aug. S.-Fear Is ex-
pressed that the allied conference
Is on the verge of collapse. The
British admit that the situation Is
critical and that an agreement
among the powers on the repara-
tions question seems hopeless.
The French are holding out for
a majority of their original drastic
demands for supervision of Ger
many's internal financial admins
tration and for prompt clearing
house payments in satisfaction OF
private claims
British VIII Not Yield.
The British and the Italians, or
the other hand. are no more dis
posed to yield on their moderate at
titude. Belgian offers to mediate
have failed.
The seriousness of the situation
Is indicated by the fact that Lloyd
George has summoned cabinet mem
bers from the continent and other
places where they are soJourning,
for the purpose of making what Is
semi-officially termed grave dec,-
sions." These decisions. it was said
involve the present threat of a rup'
ture between Britain and France
with France pursuing her owr
course single-handed against Ger
many.
Experts Fail to Agree.
The experts committee was un-
able to reach an agreement, and
has prepared a report to that ef-
feet. A majority of Premier Poin-
cares proposals were rejected. the
French standing alone except in
one instance. when the Belgian rep
resetatives supported them
The full meeting of the confer
ence. which had been set for to-
morrow, was postponed at the re-
quest of the British. who desire to
have the questions at issue thor
oughly discussed in cabinet meet
ing before they are again debated
by the allied representatives.
This cabinet session may decide
the fate of the Anglo-French en-
tente. for it will depend largely
on the views expressed by Lloyd
Georges ministers just how far the
British delegation will compromise
to obtain an agreement with
France.
It is probable that the actual
outcome of the conference will rest
with a series of private converse
tion between Lloyd George, Pre-
mier Poincare. Foreign Minister
Schanzer. of Italy. and Premier
Theunis. of Belgium
Claim Efforts Futile.
French and other continental del
egates contend that efforts at an
all-arouud settlement here are fu-
tile, because the recent Balfour
note is based on cancellation OF the
inter-alIied debts. However, a
compromise probably could be
reached by Premier Poincare mod
Grating his attitude toward Ger
many on condition that the British
modify the policy laid down in the
Ralfour debts note, thus linking
up once more the question of Ger
man reparations and the interal-
lied debt.
There Is to be considere ed. now
ever. this consistent opposition of
Llovd George to what he terms
Premier Poincare's policy of re-
turn to coercion against Germany
The British premier contends that
such "strangulation" of Germany
as the French desire would drag
the remainder of the continent in.o
the same kind of chaos that Ger
many is now suffering.

Bitter-Enders.

The railroad executives at their
meeting in New York on Friday
will be urged by their legal ad-
visers. who have been in close touch
with the administration. to accept
President Harding's latest rail
strike settlement proposal. leaving
the seniority question to the Rail-

Whether the advice will be ac-
cepted depends largely upon the
strength mustered by the Eastern
executives. led by L. F. Loree, pres

He believes that adoption of the
Presidents plan would call for a
complete surrender by the railroad

The reason given for the strike

The rail union leaders hold the
financial interests of the Pennsyl-

refusal of all the carriers to settle

The vessel turned about when the

LONDON, Aug. st Is reported
in Irish circles in London that DE
Valera is planning to appear at tne
next meeting of the Irish Parliament
in Dublin to confess the failure OF
armed rebellion and offer to carry on
as a leader of the Constitutional Re
publican party in the new Free State.
1t is stated that this decision Is
due not only to the complete military
failure but to the lack of financial
and other support from the United
States and other Irishmen abroad on
whom he relied for monthly funds to
carry on the Republican fight.
The colonial office. which is respon-
sible for the relations between Eng
land and Ireland. Is sceptical. think
ing that De Valera Is incapable Of
keeping his mind made up at any
time. 1t is possible, however. that
some of his followers may take this
course. The Free State is offering A
free pardon to all rebels who will
promise to refrain from yebellion in
the future.

More than one hundred and fifty
residents of Perth Amboy were In
Newark this morning TO attend the

be held in contempt of court and
also to show cause why eight of the
