Paris. May 2s.-(By The A. P.)--A big loan to Germany or none at all ap- pears to be the first idea with which the bankers from many nations now as sembling in Paris for their first meet ing tomorrow are approaching their work.
 Sir Robert Kindersley of England. M. Vossering of Holland and Signor Dam alip of Italy were among the bankers who looked into the onices of the allied repafrations commission today in prepar- ation for tomorrow's meeting.
 The prevailing thought here is that the bankers are not coming together for the purpose of finding investments. as they will have under consideration at home more opportunities for employing their capital than they have money. If, however, by arranging a loan to Ger many they can settle the economic sit- uation in Europe for some years to come they will attempt 1t. Their attitude of mind is described as a conviction that nothing can be done with the equivalent of $1OO, 100000 or 100000, 900 and there Is no motive for lending Germany SC small a> sum for purely temporary pur- pOseo. CuCH d II lS Iells WOQlu pc spent on separations or In other ways within four or five months, leaving a fresh crisis on the same problems un- settled.
 Consequently. the first suggestions range from the equivalents of $500. .O00,. 900 to $2.0o0. .000.O0 for immediate Is. sue. The billion figure appears b be ths favored one but whether any loan 1, ! fs f- tI. only if the governments concerned could agree to some condition of immense and decisive chharacter.
 | In the first place, the Belgian govern ment must surrended, partially at least her priority on German reparations. Tn, Belgian, delegates at the Spa suprem, council meeting in July. 1920. when ar | International loan was first discussed lFsmong the allied governments, agreed that Belgium would not block the wa, stunned that the Belgian statesmen vii still take this attitude.
 Belgium still has something like billion and a half gold francs due her
 It is expected also that the -Britls ! government will reduce Great Britain proportion of 22 per cent. of the repar auonS because she IS more interested Il the economic adjustment and tranquil ty of Europe than in her chances |, cash from Germany.
 The French government. too. 1t i believed. will reduce her expectations O cash payments if the carefully consid cred judgment of the committee and O the reparations commission should b, that this is necessary.
 The amount of time the loan issue should run and the rate of interest ar regarded as far less important question and as much more easily solved than tn larger policies involved.

 London late this afternoon.

ABOUT RATE AND WAGE
 PROBLEMS OF RAILROADS

Washington, May 23.-Administration intervention into railroad rate problems as instanced most recently in President Harding's dinner conference with carrier executives, has disclosed the close reIa- tionship between these and problems of railroad pay scales and railroad financing, it was indicated today at the White House. N
 Railroad managers. 1t was said. while voicing approval of the general proposal that rates be brought down in the inter ests of general business better7nent and expansion of enterprise have taken the opportunity to tell of their own troubles with-wage scales which they consider too high. with the financing of new equipment and repair of old, and the maintenance and betterment of their lines. The result is said to leave President Harding hope ful. however, that tangible immediate re- auctions can be obtained
 Railroad executives were told by the president and Secretary Hoover and the Saturday night conference if the would leave class rates practical unchanged at existing levels the could go into session with the Interstate commerce commission and at once cut sharply existing charges on coal, iron, ores, brick. paving materials and other heayi tonnage low unit priced commodities. This in the administration view would remove burdens which have acted to retard the wheels of commerce and at the same time leave high rates on tariff which can bear the burden, because of it's high unit price Man railroads re- gard the proposals with favor but others look with concern on the plan as com prising a reduction in their chief source of revenue. Among the latter are listed the "coal roads"
 Rail earnings in the east have devel- oped recent tendency to rise. 1t was ar- gued by railroad managers while western roads are still at low earning points, in- dicating necessity for treating the rate problem regionally.s

PollticaI storm in EnEland.

London, May 23 (By the A. P.)-Pre. sniier Lloyd Georges decision to put up Sir Laming Worthington- Evans, minis ter for war, to relate the results of the Genoa conference. reserving his own speech until he has heard all that the critics have to say, seems to have raised a little political storm. The prime minister's opponents contend that the country has a right to hear an account of his stewardship from the prime min lster himself and that by the present maneuver he is seeking to gain a tacti- cal debating triumph whereby he hopes to make the opposition look ridiculous The labor and independent liberal par ties took step today to force ths pre- nlier to reconsider the mater. They decided that none of their members shall speak in the debate until Mir Lloyd George has spoken, and it is re ported that the conservatives are in clined to take a similar course.
