Il myself am opposed to the Borah
amendment as it stands said Senator
Watson He then outlined the reser-
vations referred to and said that they
would have to be adopted before he
would consider supporting any pro-
posal for an economic conference.
In the meantime the Borah pro-

Senator Fletcher. He said that he

Borah's Attitude.
Senator Borah, when his attention
was called that fears had been eX-
pressed the United States might be-
come involved in European political
affairs if an economic conference were
held here said that similar arguments
had been urged against the proposal
for a limitation of naval armaments
conference when he introduced the
first resolution requesting the Presi-
dent to call naval limitation con-
ference.
'It is idle to talk about any eco

one knows that those debts could not
be Cancelled except by action by the
Congress of the United States 1t IS
idle talk, too. of our becoming m
yolved in European political anairs
through such conference. AS d
matter of fact we are already in

Origin Of Oriental Rugs

In order to appreciate fully the true

rugs, it is necessary to know something
about the countries from which they
come and the nature of the people who
weave them.
Persia has. for many centuries, been
recognized as the leading country in

rigs ever woven. They reached their
highest degree of perfection early in the
sixteenth century. Many of these rugs
n. still in existence. though they are
to be seen now only in national muse
uus and in few private collections,
and they are worth fabulous sums.
Having learned the art of hand rug
weaving from peoples with whom they
came In contact, it IL not surprising
that the Persians perfected 1t. We
have but to consider the natural re-
sources of the country. Silk and cot
ton are abundant, and the hillsides and
valleys furnish splendid pasturage for
sheen and goats. so that the weavers
had materials of excellent quality at
hand. The quality Of the nutriment
