BANKERS OFFER
FOUR TENTATIVE
SOLUTIONS FOR
LOAN PROBLEMS
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, May "a. - Four tentative
solutions of the international loan
problem for the settlement of the
economic situation in Europe, with
particular reference to Germany.
We're presented today at the meeting
of the bankers committee of which
]. p. Morgan is the American repre-
sentative and the spirit of the meet
ing was described by some of those
who took part as indicating that
something can be done.
1t was even said that probably an
announcement of a definite nature
could be made in relatively short
time.
The solutions were submitted re-
spectively by Mr.. Morgan, who Of
fered what he termed "the American
plan" Sir Robert kindersly, one of
the governors of the Bank of Eng
land: Charles Sargent. former French
under-secretary of finance and pres
ident of the Banque dc L'Union
Parisienne and DR.. G.. Vissering,
president of The Netherlands bank.
No hint was given as to what these
plans are, but the committee con-
veyed an impression of optimism and
definiteness when they called them
solutions
They were advanced in response
to a request by NJ. Delaesoix, former
Belgian premier, who acted as chair
man, for statements as to what the
bankers believed could be done.
The committee also decided to
spend the next week in an exhaustive
study of Germany's condition, which
strengthens the belief that the bank
ers in beginning their work see a
chance to accomplish something tam
gible. When the committee had these
four suggested remedies before it,
Herr Bergman, the German expert,
was called upon. and he outlined the
negotiations which are still proceed
ing between the German delegation
and the reparations commission and
explained the state of the German
budget and the changes to be made
in it.
Seven financiers of commanding
personalities in the neutral. allied and
German money markets, began con-
yersations on the possibilities of
Strengthening out the confused eco
nomic conditions in Europe by q
widely distributed loan to enable the
allies to receive reparations and the
Germans to pay them. Some effort
was made among the members of the
encourage of the committee to esti
iHdle tUe SlupeHuOuS resources rep
resented by that body and their ef-
forts ended close to triinon figures,
measured in francs.
I'VE have come together" said NJ.
DelacroiX, who is head Of the Belgian
State bank, .'as bankers and not as
statesmen"
In addition TO those already men
toned, Signor dAmelin, representing
Italy, was present, while the eighth
member, III. Zkiba of Japan has not
yet arrived. One Of the first suggeS-
tions was that the proceedings should
be altogether secret until something
definite could properly be announced,
There was extraordinary public
interest shown in Mr.. Morgan. 1t
was observed today by the crowd of
journalists waiting at the hotel
where the sessions are being held
that while the other members of the
committee came and departed in
handsome automobiles, the American
representative used a taxicab driven
by one of the veterans of the Marne,
that looked as though it might fall
to pieces.

Normal Weather
Conditions Aid
Country's Crops

WASHINGTON. May 24.-Normal
temperatures almost everywhere ex-
cept in the south, did much during
the week ending yesterday to aid the
farmers. the weather bureau reported
today in its weekly weather and crop
review. Growth of vegetation was
hindered somewhat in western states
by insufficient rain.
Conditions are reported to the bu-
reau as favoring a continuation of
the satisfactory growth made during
recent weeks by winter wheat. Rain
was still needed at the close of the
week in Iowa while the crop was de-
scribed as becoming weedy in west
ern Kansas, and stands were thin in
many fields in Nebraska. Cool and
cloudy weather in the spring wheat
belt was favorable, for that crop, the
review said, adding that consider
able improvement was reported from
South Dakota as a. result of addi-
tional rains and termination was
satisfactory in Montana.
The oats crop. which generally is
backward in the interior valley
states due to delayed sowing, i'm
proved during the week.
Corn was reported as having GER
minated rather poorly in the upper
Mississippi valley but in most other
sections the early plant is coming up
to a good stand.

FEDERATION MEMBER
CR|T|CEES GOMPERS'
PROHIBITION AND

MILWAUKEE, May a. Resur-
rection of the legalized liquor traffic
is the real purpose back of the agi-
tation for light wines and beer, Con-
gressman John G. Cooper. of Ohio
told the Wisconsin law enforcement
convention here tonight.
Mr.. Cooper, member OF the
American Federation of Labor, criti
cized a. statement he attributed to
Samuel Gompers, president of the
federation that the organization was
in favor of light wines and beer.
'It is not the working people of
our country who are clamoring for
the return of the liquor traffic. he
asserted Il do not challenge the
right of Mr.. Gompers TO express his
own views in view Of the repeal of
the prohibition law, but / do chal-
lenge the right of any one to speak
for the thousands of law abiding
working men and women of our
country who join hands with others
to Danish this un-American institu-
tion.'s
Organized labor" he said, has
enough to do to take care of itself
without undertaking to do the work
of the distillers and the brewers who
are hoping TO profit by the agitation
they are starting"

Want Department
Of Public Health
Freed OF Politics

NEW YORK. May 24-George E.
Vincent, president of the Rockefeller
Foundation, in his annual summary of
medical activities of the organiza ton
today urged that public departments
of health be taken out of politics.
A public function which calls for
technical expertness is hopelessly
handicapped if it be treated as the
spoils of a political boss or of a vic
torious party machine he asserted.
ITO no public service does this
more striiingly apply than to a de-
partment of health. The moment
efforts are made to influence ap
pointments, promotions, salaries,
policies law enforcement by individ-
ual pressure for political or party
ends. the Decentralization of the work
begins. The degree to which such
things are possible is an index to the
intelligence. spirit and character of
any community"
The prevention of disease is stead
lily tending to become the goal of the
medical profession although has been
and still a tendency on the part of
the average physician ''to look
through the microscope, rather than
the telescope of prevention Vincent
asserted.

Mr. Clarke added:
I'VE do not know that this has been
done, but it seems certain that an inn
preston prevails in the public mind
in California that this organization
stands for lawlessness.'
He asserted that the klan would not
defend any klansmen guilty of law-
lessness.
Mr.. Clarke said the stand was de-
cided by action of the imperial klon-
cilium, or governing body, and that

against him was largely hearsay, the

lying were found to be based in
reality on mistaken judgment. Stew
