U. s. NOT APPROACHED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The Unit
ed States has not been approached,
directly or indirectly, in regard either
to cancellation of the French war debt
or American participation with allied
premiers in the discussion of German
reparations, according to an officially
authorized statement today at the
state department.
Outside Of this statement, no COM
ment was forthcoming in official quar-
ters on press advices from London
telling of the British intention to sound
out the Washington government with
relation to French debt cancellation
as q possible means for solving the
conflict Of views among the premiers
which caused postponement of the
council meeting over the year end.
Familiar With Situation.
Earlier in the day the statement
was authorized at the white house that
the reparations tangle was viewed by
the Washington government as one
one of most acute" European difficult
ties. 1t was added that the Washing
ton administration had not lacked in
innate picture of the situation abroad
nor been unconcerned or inactive with
relation to problems pressing for solu-
ton in the interest of world stability.
1t was not indicated, however, that
the activities referred to bore directly
or indirectly upon the immediate sit
uation in London.
Pending some further light as to the
exact nature Of proposals said to be
coming to Washington from London
in regard to cancellation of the French
debt to Great Britain and the United
States, the most official expression of
views in that regard indi-
Gates that the Washington govern
ment looks upon the allied debt matter
as now in the hands of congress and
outside the field of diplomatic agree
ment. Creation Of the debt refundlng
commission is known to be viewed by
high administration officials as having
had that effect.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF PREMIERS
FAIL UTTERLY
Total Collapse Is Ad-
mitted by Bonar
Law in Commons
Speech.
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The
collapse of the allied premiers
negotiations here, it is be.
coming evident, was even
more complete than at first
supposed. One outstanding
development which had been
seized upon by the optimists,
namely the scrapping of the
Balfour note by Great Brit
ain, is now said to have been
acclaimed prematurely.
Prime Minister Bonar Law admitted
as much in the house of commons
this afternoon, and from other sources
it is learned that the haste on the part
OF the continental press to consider
Lord Balfour's utterapce as thing Of
the past is unwarranted.
It is stated that Mr.. Bonar Law. in
talking with the other allied premiers,
only indicated that Lord Balfour' s
principle (refusal to consider any re-
mission of the war debts) could be
superseded as Great Britain's contri-
button to a general European settle
ment of the war debts and repara-
tions questions, but with a definite
gain for Britain in view, and not
merely because she wished to be gen.
erous.
British Policy.
The British policy is said to be CEN
tered on re-esta blishment of trade and
commerce, stabilization of exchanges
and bringing to an end the almost
continuous allied conferences and dis
putes over reparations and war debts.
The eessimists believe such stablIi-
"a ton OF Europe's economic life would
not be realized through Britain's can
collation. of the debts due her if at
the same time the French were per-
mitted TO carry out coercive measures
to obtain their indemnity from Ger
many.
According to the official view, the
British are willing to make great sac
rifices, but the other allies must also
sacrifice some of their interests.
Unless Great Britain sees an ulti-
mate gain through the policy OF can
collation., 1t is stated the government
could not carry out such a program,
for the British taxpayers would rebel
at having to shoulder the debts with
out benefit

$50 Cars Daily to
Move Citrus Crop

(By Associated Press)

TAMPA. Dec. 12.-The movement
Of the Florida citrus fruit crop to
market will require the use of one
hundred box cars daily. in addition to
$50 refrigerator cars daily, according
to ]. G Roth, director of the bureau
of service, interstate commerce com
mission, Washington, in a telegram
to the Florida Citrus Exchange.
Through Florida's delegation in
congress and through the interstate
commerce commission, Florida grow
ers have been seeking TO procure more
cars for the movement of the fruit
crop. In reply to the entreaties of
the Citrus Exchange, headquarters
here declares there is no question
relative to our understanding of the
Florida situation, the requirements
now being three hundred and fifty
refrigerator cars per day. The daily
supply Of two hundred and fifty cars
will make necessary the use of about
one hundred box cars daily for the
present and advise transferring from
box cars as far as possible before
movement into cold territory"

vance will cost the Florida shippers
about $3.50 per car. The line haul

There Is considerable diversity OF
opinion as to the motive behind the re-
cent periodical drives against the lower
priced railroad shares. The Erie group
came in for pounding yesterday. and
on Monday the Chicago and Great
Western issues were subjected to a Sc
we're attack.
There is no information whatever
that might account for the vicious
drives against this class Of stocks. The
Chicago and Great Western met the
September interest payments promptly,
and no others are to be met for some
months. The Erie. from oil reports,
Is also in position to meet all the In

on its general mortgage bonds for b
long time prior to the reCeivership de-

s. q. After Producing Properties

Apropos to the statement published
in this column yesterday. relative 70
the negotiations for the purchases OF
the Producers and Rehners' property
by the Standard Oil interests through
one Of the underlying companies, II
was stated yesterday by a usually re-
liable authority that negotiations are
under way for several other prominent
oil producing properties in this coun-
try, particularly those with light oil re-
serves. 1t is stated offers have been
made for Philips Petroleum, Cosden and
Marland.
The aggressive policy Of Standard Oil
in seeking control Of oil producing prop
critics follows the disclosure at the Sen
ate's oil investigation that Standard oi
owns only about 20 per cent Of the Of
production Of this country, where 30 pei
cent OF the worlds oil Is produced
This percentage is regarded as too small
when compared with Standard Oil's re
fining and marketing operations.
Collapse of production in Mexico
where Standard Oil in recent years ha
secured large quantities Of cheap oil fo
its Gulf and Atlantic scaboard retiner
les, makes 1t imperative that the re
tining capacity be safeguarded by secur
ing production in this country.
1t is believed that several Of thes
negotiations will be closed shortly. par
lticularly as the Royal Dutch She
Group, which is also short of oil as
result of declining Mexican production
is competing with Standard OIL fo
acquisition of American producing prop
critics.

Widening Of Pool Activities

II was a matter Of general comment
after the close yesterday that the
market, to great extent. had again
become one directed by pool activities,
and those stocks in which concentrated
efforts were made for these recently
formed pools. must be expected to take
prominent position in price move
ments for some time to come. Leading
interests, however, insisted these pool
activities constituted only small por-
ton Of security trading and the great
volume Of bullish activity is conducted

cars were ordered by street railway
companies. This is 122 cars more than
the number purchased In the CORE :

tions point to a more extensive purchase
Of new equipment from now up to and

chases we're split into the following
classes: 443 safety cars, 1O1 special
type one man cars, 4O4 other types OF
cars to be used in cities, twelve inter-
urban cars and fifty elevated cars.
The district north Of the Ohio and
east of the Mississippi River has pur-
chased the greatest number of cars, the
total being 324, while the Mississippi
district purchased 271 cars. the New
England district 241 cars and the dis
trct south Of the Ohio River and east
Of the Mississippi 175 cars.
