BILL Gets
APPROVAL
MELONS Objections. to
Minor Provisions Of
Act Upheld; Demo
Gratis Opposed

Washington, Jan. 16.-The al
lied debt funding bill was ap-
proved today by the senate fl
nance committee after more of
the provisions objected to by Sec
retary Mellon of the treasury de-
partment had been eliminated.

mittee voted against the bill in

Provisions which were stricken

funded bonds had been negotiated
where the treasury desires to
have the authority to defer inter-
est payments in the case Of some
countries not in position to be-
gin making those payments with
in possibly within a year or two.
The provision limiting the life
Of the bonds to be accepted from
the foreign gov srnments to rs
years remained in the bill. The
measure set up commission with
authority, subject to the approval
of the president to refund or con-
vert and to extend the time of
payment of the principal or the
interest or both.
The treasury secretary would
be supreme of the commission,
the other members to be appoint
ed by the president, subject to
senate confirmation.
