MAY REWRITE 5-POWER PACT
President Harding Sounds Out Britain
and France on Move.

Washington Observation-Disclosures officials
would not discuss reports emanating
from London and Paris that the Uni
ted States is sounding out European
powers on the proposition of an inter.
national land disarmament conference.
There were no denials of the re.
ports, however, and there is~a we'll de.
fined belief here that the president
and Secretary G. E. Hughes are plan
ming to issue an invitation to the
powers for such a conference which
would be operated on lines similar to
the Washington conference last win
ter which resulted in the naval treaty
and the four power Pacific pact.
It was also disclosed that another
three power conference to review the
naval treaty is within the range of
possibility.

EUROPE MUST PAY-HOOVER
Debtor Countries Can Pay in Reason

Toledo, Ol.-Repudiation of the
loans made by the United States to
the allied and associated nations dur
ing the war would undermine the
whole fabric of International good
faith, Secretary Of Commerce Hoover,
a member of the Allied Debt commits
sion, declared in an address here. He
added that he did not believe any pub
lie official, either in the United States
or any other country, could or should
approve their cancellation.
"These loans are, in fact, debts
owing to our taxpayers" Mr.. Hoover
said. "They were made at the urgent
request Of the borrowers and under
their solemn assurances Of repay
ment. The loans were Individual to
each nation. They have no relation to
other nations or to other debts. The
American taxpayer did not participate
in reparations and acquired no terri
tory or any other benefits under the
treaty as did our debtors.

Wide interest in Mrs. Olesen's stand

With a record of % speeches last
week, starting at Park Rapids and
winding up at Detroit on Saturday
night, Mrs. Olesen has covered section
in which she had not previously ap-
peared. Greeted by large and enthu-
siastic audiences, there is no doubt
that she is making votes wherever she
goes. Similarity between her cam
paign and that Of John A. johnson is
noted by number of papers, among
them the Chisholm Miner which, fol-
lowing her recent meeting there, says:

The manifest feeling of the large au-

it is very evident thet Minnesota is
