sion Of the Dali Eireann that
monDeValera would make pub
lie his alternative proposals as a

Mr.. DeValera's alternative pro-
posals contain IL heads with de-
tailed schedules, and contemplate
association with the states of the
British commonwealth.

Demand For
Acceptance
Bills Slu1llps

Washington, Jan. 4.-Lessened
demand generally for bills of &C.
ceptance but a somewhat broader
activity was reported by the fed
eral reserve board today in year
end survey of conditions in the ac-
ceptance markets of the 12 reserve
districts.
The influence on tax payments
coming simultaneously with the
new certificate issue and the year
end adjustments had a deterrent
on the investors, according TO the
survey.
A considerable decline in the
country's foreign trade during
1921, in addition to the fall in
prices, resulted in a reduction in
the amount of bankers bills in
the New York market, the survey
continued, adding, however, that
there was a steadily broadening
market.
A general falling off in accept
ance transactions during Novein.
ber was reported by Chicago, the
greater part Of the bills drawn be-
ing against meats. meat products
tobacco and canned goods.
Bills originating on the Pacific
coast, the San Francisco bank de-
clared, were appearing in larger
quantities, but the supply was still
insufficient to meet the invest
ment demand and prime eastern
bills continue in good demand.
During the latter part of Mo-
vember, the bank said, the "de-
mand for acceptances was steady,
with heavy call for bills which
would fall due before the end of
the year. At the same time a
gradual broadening of the market
was noticeable, chiefly among
country banks, but to a larger ex-
tent among corporations and indi-
viduals.

WORLD
BANK IS
SOUGHT
Estab blishment of Fed
eral Reserve Branch
In Europe Advocated
by Owen

Washington, Jan. 4.--The en-
tablishment Of European federal
reserve bank, providing gold Sc
cured currency and linked insep-
arably with the American reserve
system, from which it would draw
its resources and reserves, was ad-
yocated today by Senator owen.
democrat, Oklahoma, as a basic
move towards restoration Of stable
economic conditions throughout
the world.
In an extensive speech in the
senate, the Oklahoma senator sug-
gested in connection with the
proposed reserve bank the follow
ing proposals for American aid in
world rehabilitation:
Extend Debt Payments.
"l-That we should postpone
the final payment Of the world war
debt in the United States by ex-
tending the payment over SO
years; that we should not for ten
years collect any amount under
the sinking fund.
2-That in arranging the pay
ment of Europe's debt to the Uni
ted States we should extend time
10 Europe necessary to enable
them to readjust their affairs and
regain their productive power, and
that we should not for ten years
demand of them the payment OF
interest due but allow 1t to merge
with the principal.
"S-That we should put the in
terest rate at per cent on Eur
ope's debt to the United States.''
Offers Amendment.
Mr.. Owen at the same time sub-
mitted to the senate a bill to-
amend the federal reserve act So
that establishment of the foreign
bank would be possible. He pro-
posed that the European bank
should be owned by the reserve
system Of the United States and
that from the 12 banks here it
would draw total of $500, ,O0O,-
600 in gold as reserve.
This. he claimed, would in no
way impair the reserves or re-
sources OF the American institu-
tions, yet it would enable the for
eign banks to issue $2,20O,0O0, 900
In notes, backed up by gold as well
as 100 per cent commodity bills.
Would End Initiation,
Inc one great outstanding fac
tor breaking down confidence and
destroying the validity and desira-
bility of contracts in Europe" the
senator declared, sis the violent
Initiation of currency through the
printing press. In some countries
OF Europe, people have been com
PEELED to abandon the making OF
contracts in terms of currency and
have had to resort to the clumsy
system of barter--so many BUSH
els OF potatoes for 50 many bushels
or corn or coal.
The outstanding factor that
retards restoration of European in
dustry and commerce then is the
lack OF gold secured currency.
Then the United States is able to
provide the means for supplying a
currency by gold, redeemable in
gold and secured at the same time
by merchantable commodities that
In themselves open and renew the
ways of trade"
