WOULD ESTABLISH
BANK IN EUROPE
Senator Owen Brings Plan. for Estab-
lishment of European Bank Linked
With Federal Reserve.

Washington-The establishment of a
European federal reserve bank, provid-
ing q gold secured currency and linked
system from which it would draw it's
resources and reserves, was advocated
in the senate today by Senator Owen
of Oklahoma, Democrat, as basic
move towards restoration of stable
economic conditions throughout the
world The senator suggested in con-
nection with the proposed reserve bank
the following proposals for American
aid in world rehabilitation:
"That we should postpone the final
payment Of the World War debt in the
United States by extending the pay
ment over fifty years; that we should
not for ten years collect any amount
under the sinking fund.
"That in arranging the payment of
Europe's debt to the United States
we should extend time to Europe nee
essary to enable them to readjust their
affairs and regain their productive pow
err and that we should not for ten years
demand of them the payment Of inter-
est due but allow it to merge with the
principal.
"That we should put the interest rate
at go of Europe's debt to the United
States"
Senator Owen submitted bill to
amend the federal reserve act so that
establishment of the foreign banks
would be possible. He proposed that
the European bank should be owned by
the reserves system Of the United
States and that from the II banks here
it should draw a total of $500 600 600
in gold as a reserve. This, he claimed,
would in no way impair the reserves or
resources of the American institutions
vet it would enable the foreign banks
to issue $500 10000 in notes backed
up by gold as we'll as 1000 commodity
bills. Secured currency is the sorest
need of European trade, he declared,
adding that if the United States pro-
vide such gold backed medium Of cir
culation and then delayed collection of
money due it from the denioralized
countries. it would do much toward re-
viving the productive power of the
whole world.

LIST to December 31st in conformity
with the plan for the state. City
funds were also distributed to the var
lous branches of the administration in
keeping with the new plan.
Rehash Old Troubles.
Several old difficulties of the coun-
Gil were brought out and talked over
without any definite action. One of
these was rather heated discussion
on the Balm avenue sewer project
which was finally laid over until the
next meeting much to the disgust of
Alderman Anderson. A discussion was
also made of the proposed Butcher
subdivision but because of the refusal
of the heirs to grant any riparian
rights to the city, no action was taken.
In this case Judge Belden has recent
ly handed down decision unfolding
the stand of the city in refusing to
accept plat for the subdivision of the
property and directing that more ex-
tended hearing of the case be had.
1t was revealed by a report of the
city attorney that efforts to secure
releases for damage to property due
to the erection of the railway viaduct
at Norman avenue had thus far been
successful with three of the property
owners but that the other, the Allen
A company, had agreed to sign for
only a fve-year period.
County Board Member Resigns.
County Supervisor Parks, who was
recently appointed to represent the
Fifth ward, rendered his resignation
to the council, which was accepted. It
was explained that he wished to bid
on certain work being planned for the
county and for that reason could not
longer serve on the board. No sue
'cessor was named.
An application from local physi-
clan to be appointed city physician
brought forth an airing of the condi-
lions there but showed that no vacancy
now existed. Chairman Thomas of the
committee and Pauper Commissioner
Saftig assured the council that the
present arrangement was entirely sat-
isfactory.
The opening of North Ridge street
is to proceed Immediately with the
schedule of benefits and damages which
was assessed by the commission as the
council voted to accept this schedule
and to order the work started.

Washington = The naval committee
may be called to meet this afternoon or
tomorrow, it was said, to receive the
report of the experts which will en-
body precise definition of the replace
ment schedules as we'll as the exact
method of scrapping ships which are
to be eliminated from the navies of
the signatory powers.
The practical completion of the re-
port to be submitted by the commit
tee of naval experts to the naval COM
mittee of the armament conference
and agreement of the subcommittee on
Chinese tariff on five per cent eff
fective basis were two important de-
velopments today in the conference
situation.
While the rate agreed upon by the
subcommittee on Chinese tariff is the
same as that provided in existing
treaties, the fixing Of FIVE per cent as
the effective" rate is expected to re-
suit in clear increase of approximate
ly 1-2 per cent to the Chinese gov
eminent, adverse exchange having re-
duced the existing tariff to about 8 1-2
per cent.
An importan, feature .ale naval
experts report will be a statement of
a uniform rule for calculation of naval
tonnage. The absence of such rule
has led to difficulty in the considera-
ton of many features of the limitation
plan.
Acceptance of the experts report by
that full COMMITTEE would put these
matters in condition to be ineorporat-
ed in treaty or agreement form and
for ratification at a plenary session.
The most important accomplishment
of the experts in the opinion Of some
delegates was the completion of the
replacement chart" precisely defining
when each ship or class of ships may
be regarded as obsolete and subject
to replacement, the dates upon which
the new keels may be laid, and dates
of commission and other such de-
tails.
While not positively stated, it was
understood in British circles that the
French experts had decided to accept
the limitation of ten thousand tons
as the maximum size of auxiliary nav
al ships excepting air craft carriers.

ToDAY'S QUESTION:
Who do you think will be the bel

ANSWERS.

Who do you think will be the bel
ligerents in the next war?
ANSWERS:
Edward Seller, Milwaukee, attorney
If there ever will be another war,
and l don't think there will be, it will
be not between two nations, but be-
tween two classes Of people. The pro-
letariat will some day come into a re-
alization of his just deserts in the
present day civilization and he will de-
mand his rights. Whether that will be
granted peacefully or not remains to
be seen. I believe that after Eugene
Debs gets through talking to the peo-
pie against all future wars the desire
for bloodshed will have been entirely
wiped out.
George Yonts, 658 Prairie avenue,
student-That's pretty hard to tell. On
one side we're trying to prevent wars
by mutual agreement and disarmament,
and on the other side we have a lingo
press that play up every little thing
between the United States and Japan
that are tanning the flames.

happen between England and France.
