CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.

Washington, ID. g., June 0.
The Republican program for the
Congressional campaign is in fairly
definite shape tonight following
two day conference among the leaders
from different parts of the country
called by John Il. Adams. chairman,
and Fred w. Upham, treasurer Of the
National Committee.
Tie conferences were primarily in
tended for the working out of a plan
for financing the activities of the
National Committee. The thirty five
party workers have started home in
tending to organize local committees
| to gather the necessary funds. That
Committee officials believe there is no
doubt
Just how much money is to be
raised nobody seems to know. al
though party leaders said tie sum
would not be great. There is to be no
limit to individual contributions, such
as $1,000 fixed by Will III. Hays, when
he was chairman Of tie National Com
mittee. Those WHO want to give more
than that amount will be permitted to
do so, although 1t is not anticipated
that any really large appropriations
will BIZ accepted.
The whole scheme is to lave the
money in sight when 1t is spent in
the campaign, so that nothing will be
added to the deficit the National Com
mittee already has on it's books. This
amounts to about 100000. but COM
mittee officials say it eventually will
be provided Since the 1920 campaign
something like s1,5o000O of the COM
mittee deficit has been paid.
The program calls for much work by
the committee, far more than ordinarily
is the case in Congressional campaigns.
The National Committee. in fact, will
assume the leadership. but will coop
crate as much as possible with the Con-
gressional and the Senatorial campaign
committees. composed of Republican
Senator's and Representatives.
The reason for+the unusual activity
by the National Committee. according
to party. leaders, is the unique position

At the bankers sessions Their

Commission. In this declaration
bankers probably will state fully their
views on the financial situation OF
Germany, together with tLeir recon-
mendations.
The reply of the bankers will not be
made public by them. They will leave
the matter in the hands of tie Repa-
rations Commission TO do with 1t as it
sees fit.
1t was stated tonight that the
question whether tie bankers would
resume their inquiry into the possi-
bilities of loan at the end of the
period OF adjournment or await a call
of the Preparations Commission had
not yet been determined. 1t was also
reported that there is difference OF
opinion among the bankers as to tho
length of the adjournment, but that
this point will be definitely settled at
tomorrow mornings session.

sion, lad engaged passage on the
Paris, sailing for New York on that

The desire of France to avoid being
drawn into maneuver directed against
the United States is one OF the reasons
to
day for the refusal of the French Cow
eminent to approve of an International
loan to Germany conditional upon
reduction of the German debt.

France" says the Temps, must not
join in a combination which. by subor-
dinating an international loan to
reduction of the German debt and q

appear like pressure brought upon ths
American Government by che European
nations for che former to renounce what
is due It.

should collaborate for the purpose or

ing them. We hope our attitude Will
be understood at w Washington, ana IL
some OF the representatives of the
United States favor and counsel other
governments of Europe to adopt an
other policy they are not In accord with

Other reasons given by the Temps az
to why France will not countenance \
reduction OF the German debt are:
First--Because It is impossible to saw
what Germany's capacity for payment
will be some years Pence.
Second-There are sufficient guaran-
ties in Germany 10 permit the ISSUE OF

discussion upon the amount of Ger

The international loan project for
the benefit of Germany and settlement
of her reparation obligations, has gone
glimmering for the present. Faced
with Frances uncempromising atti-
tude, the bankers committee in two
sessions to-day, decided to adjourn for

Their consideration. in view of Wednes-
days vote in the Preparations Commits
sion; but the bankers will meet in
final session tomorrow to draw up a
statement giving certain views as to
how loan might be fioated should
conditions undergo a ch;,nge.
The real object beEino the adjourn-
ment is to give France time to think
it over, this meeting of bankers hav-
ing shown that no loan such as was
contemplated, or such as France
urgently needs, is possible under TIE
present schedule of Preparations.
Morgan Takes Firm stand.
1t is the hope Of many that this will
lave profound effect upon the French
public as well as upon French poll
ticians, for France must nc W, it would
seem, either consent to consider modi-
fication of the present arrangement or
adopt the policy of the extremists
