WHY LLOYD GEORGE
WATCHES EXCHANGE
fnnuity Bestowed Upon Him by
Carnegie Will FIuctuates
With the Market.

LONDON, May 20.-Lloyd George
has one great American Interest. 1t
is the American exchange values
The Premier. according to his
most intimate friends, turns 10 the
financial page when he takes up his
morning newspaper and looks at the
quotations in the English pou nd
sterling on the New York stock ex,
change.
Andrew Carnegie. the late steel
king, is primarily responsible for the
premier's interest in American eX-
change, for under the will of Car.
negie the British Prime Minister re-
ceives an annuity of $4,000. but the
annuity in is American dollars, and
therefore its value in British pounds
fluctuates with the exchange mar.
ket.
In 1927 the Prime Minister receiv,
ed near $4,000 by virtue of the Car.
negie bequest, but since the exchange
has been rising this annuity has been
decreasing.
The Prime Minister is now faced
with the expense of building a new
country home at Surrey and he has
also given orders to real estate
agents in London to keep watchful
eye for him for a town house in Lon
don, against the day when he gives
up his residence at 10 Downing
street.
Although the Premier and Dame
Margaret lead a quiet life in London
nevertheless the expenses of official
life eat heavily into the salary which
David Lloyd George receives from
the British Government Therefore
the state of American exchange is q
question OF prime Importance in the
household OF 10 Downing street.

Cites Minority Report.
Mr.. Tincher directed attention TO
the following statement in the mi.
nority report, which. he said. sums
up the matter dealt with in that re-
port:
"These claimants undertook,
through the good offices of the De-
partment Of Justice and the Depart.
ment of State, to bring into the
United States from Argentine large
amount of sugar, upon which they
expected to realize an enormous
profit. Failing in this and facing a
loss. they now turn to the Govern.
ment and ask to be relieved OF that
loss and have the Government as.
sumo the burden"
The claimants rest their case on
the statements of former Attorney
General Palmer and Assistant At.
torney General Figg, under Mr..
Palmer, the present authorities of
the Department of Justice and the
present and former officials Of the
Department of State that a moral
obligation rests on the Government.
Against this, Chairman Haugen
points out that all these officials
testified there was no power any.
where in the Government to guar.
antee the companies against loss
and that II was not the intention
Of the Government to buy sugar.
Mr.. Figg. who participated in the
transactions as the representative
of the Department Of Justice, ac.
cording to Mr.. Haugen, testified he
had no authority to make a con.
tract of any sort with the com.
panies.

Both Passed by Senate.
The two resolutions to be acted
upon by the House this week twice
have been passed by the Senate,
where, as in the House up to this
time, they attracted little or no at
tention. In the last Congress they

or even greater Importance than
the alleged lack of justification for
the claims or the methods charged
by the opposition to have been en-
ployed in pressing them, is declared
to be the question of policy which the
Houses vote will determine. The
minority report on one Of the resolu-
tions say, for example:
I'm our judgment, this claim has

in the open hearings Of the Agri-
cultural Committee, his work
appears to have been done in the
way OF seeing members at other
times. His name will be injected
into the debate.
Iowa Lawyer Involved.
Another interesting phase Of the
affair was the employment Of a
prominent lawyer in Chairman
Haugen's Congressional district in
Iowa to come to Washington in
the interest of the claims.
Then a newspaper man who
represented himself as being able
to speak for the press went to see
the chairman. He told Mr.. Haugen
there need be no fear of embarrass-
ment as the result Of publicity, be-
cause he could assure him the
newspapers would LAY off the
story"
Mr.. .IIaugen stood out against the
claims during the previous Congress
and he is standing pat this time.
The Standing Committee Of Cor
respondents. which has supervision
Of the Congressional press galleries,
will be called upon to deal with the
newspaper man.
Legislation Shetracked.
Interest also attaches to the ar
rangement by which the resolutions
are to be brought up in the House.
In the face Of the fact that other
important legislation is sidetra cked
on the pretext that there is not
sufficient time for its consideration.
A special rule giving precedence
on the calendar to the resolutions
was sought. This was denied d.
rectly. A rule was granted setting
aside three days for consideration OF
bills from the Agricultural Commit
tee. The order in which the bills
were reported out by the commit.
tee makes II certain the sugar
claims will come up Wednesday or
Thursday.
Commenting on the tactics EN-.
ployed by advocates Of the claims,
Congressman Strong, Republican,
of Kansas, said:
"It is the greatest lobby that has
ever been seen around Congress.
Congressman Tincher, who will
lead the fight against the resolutions
