pared propaganda to create and
foster that Impression; and to
bring the representatives Of for

LEADERS CONFER.
The United States can much
better afford to send its represen-
tatives to q conference of this
character to be held elsewhere
than to invite the representatives
of foreign governments to come
here for their deliberations over
an adjustment of Europe's finan-
cial affairs.
Republican leaders in the Senate
continued their series of confer
epces begun last week looking to
ward the defeat of Senator Borah's
plan. Senator Curtis, of Kansas
majority whip, expressed the fear
that consideration of the amend
ment at this time is likely to cause
q legislative jam and prevent action
on essential appropriation bills.
Vain efforts were made to per-
suade Senator Borah to accept GER
tain notifications of his resolution
which would make it conform to
the views held by Administration
Senator's Senator Lodge takes the
position that the Borah amendment
is subject to a point of order as
legislation attached to an appropria
tion measure.

Senator Watson, of Indiana, an.
other Administration leader, plans
to offer a series of amendments to
the Borah resolution. With these
amendments, he maintains, the
resolution will be rendered innoc-
uous- The Indiana Senator also

conviction that its supporters will
