-"America must call world eco
nomic conference. 1t is her duty"
DR.. Joseph Wirth, former chancellor
of Germany declared in an interview
today, the first since the fall Of his
government, able to discuss frankly
the situation within and without
Germany, unhampered by diplomat
ic reticence which prevented many
utterances during his nineteen
months at the helm of German af-
fairs.
Wirth's first thought was for the
need Of Americas intervention as
arbitrcr. The United States, he de-
clarcd, must take a distinctive role
in rcparation settlement by sending
official delegates to the commission
She must be an umpire for Europe.
Unless Amcr'ca does this, DR..
Wirth forsces utter ruin and Boil

himself, he said he was determined

There are very few labor candidates, but will have to fight for their seats. an. in 190 con stituences liberals and laborites will be fighting each other with unionists waiting to take advantage of this split in the progressive vote as the labor party still declines agree to any accommodation with the liberals. Thus there will be an enormous number of three-cornered contests, making any forecast of the outcome of the elections almost impossible.
 Approximately 49 conservative can didates are unopposed, but of the ITO Georgian liebrals only eight are un- opposed.
 Former Premier Lloyd Georges S speech tomorrow is awaited with in tense interest to discover whether he has any new program or policy to an- nounce. The general view is that Pre- mier Bonar Law and MT. Lloyd George are waiting for each other to make the first definite announcement of policy. A week ago when an un- official pact of cooperation was thought to be in effect between the conservatives and the national liber- als. the former premier's prospects were considered good because he still commands tremendous popularity, but the fact that Sir George Younger. chairman of the unionist party or eanizatioa, has roughlN brushed aside the proposed election pact, has brought about changed situation and seemingly MT. Lloyd Georges chief hope now is to utilize the en- thusiasm he is able to evoke wherever he speaks to secure the return of a sufficient number of his followers to give him balancing party"

Amusen1ents
HEST BILL OF THE YEAR
 AT THE LYRIC TODAY.

Undoubtedly the best bill of the season at the Lyric will close it's en- gagement with the four perform ances today. Not only Is every act of the top notch variety, but 1t can be truthfully said that there Is not a dull moment during the entire per formance.
 While the act of Wilson brothers, the singing comedians, has been here before it has lost none of it's power to entertain and amuse, and these capable entertainers have been given enthusiastic approval at every performance.
 The opening number, the three Hamil girls, clever trio of singers, dancers and musicians, is the daint- fest musical act seen here in many a day. The girls are exceptionally tall ented and have the added charm of youth and beauty.
 Willie Smith, who goes it alone. a singing comedian featuring jazz, puts it over in great shape. His soprano selection always brings storm of applause.
 A couple of real musical comedy stars, with snappy songs and bright chatter. Rudell and Dunigan. are refreshing in their originality. Their song numbers are new and the en- tire act is most pleasing.
 The closing number of Frankis and Silvers, unique gymnastic novelty, has sufficient merit in it. self to stand out on any bill. but 1t is made doubly entertaining by the introduction between stunts of all the members of the company. who add quite a touch Of comedy.
 An excellent photoplay feature. Handle With Care," fills out this most entertaining bill.

 Since peak of August 3i, 1921, he showed the debt had been reduced s22,8I2,000,000. September l, 1s22 There have been fluctuations from time to time, however. as a result of borrowings for refunding purposes and temporary deficiencies in the current revenues. This was the case in october, he declared. when thore was a temporary increase in the debt as a result of refunding operations involving the issue If $500,000,0 900 Of treasury bonds and the excess of current expenditures arising from heavy payments of interest on the public debt.
 Income and profits taxes, which constitute the governments heav- fest receipts. Mir. Mellon explained, are paid quarterly in March, June, September and December. while in- terest payments, which constitute the largest single item of government expense, fall chiefly in March. April. May, June, September, October and November, sc that the correct view of the governments finances can only be obtained from the operations from a quarter or the full year.
 "The progress made in dealing with the rt-dated debt" MT. Mel lon said. has been still more strik- ing.

 ''on April 30. 1921. when the treas ury first announced It's refunding program, there was over $7.500, ,000.- 900 of debt maturing before the end of the present fiscal year. By Octo- Der 31, 1922, that is to say. Is months later, about s4,5oo. 900, 900 had already been retired or refunded. leaving about ss,ooO.0o0.o00 to be re-financed during the balance of the year. Treasury certificates outstanding all have tax maturities and the total is now less than $1.000, 900, 900, the low est figure fer several years back. As for the December 15 maturities, of certificates and called Victory notes, the refunding operations already have reduced them to manageable proportions and there will be further retirements between now and Decem- Der Is out of existing treasury bal ances. pursuant to general offers all ready made to redeem Victory notes and December 15 certificates between maturity. Against its December ma turtles the treasury will receive, it IS estimated. about 5,000.000 in income and profits taxes which will still further reduce the amounts re- curing to be refunded. There is every assurance that the refunding which remains to be accomplished will be completed without strain on the conntry's financial machinery and without disturbance to the market for outstanding securities
