without which he says there can be no
recovery for Germany or indeed for the
whole world. Mr.. Strachey submits that
the reparations problem is insoluble
without a preliminary agreement in re-
gard to the interallied indebtedness.
He suggests that Chancellor of the
Exchequer Baldwin tell the Washing
ton Government plainly that he has
come to pay, and. like bank official,
ask the Americans how they will take

self in the position OF creditor nation
England should approach America with

'-Tvhe Chamber OF Commerce bf the
United States is impressed with the
solemn responsibility which a compi-
ance. with the request in your communi-
cation would lay upon American busi-
ness leadership. We realize the great
forces for good which would follow a
definite and practical solution of the
reparations question which to-day de-
stroys the atmosphere of peace in
which alone Europe can rebuild its
broken processes, and with these
thought in mind we are giving your re-
quest our serious consideration.
1--WE welcome the reaffirmation of
the recognition by Germany as ex-
pressed by you of the obligation to
make restitution to the utmost. Based
on this principle. the determination of
the amount OF reparations and the
methods Of payment to make effective
at the earliest possible moment the
restitution To which the allied countries
are justly entitled. and not to tighten

should be susceptible of determination
by honest judgment consecrated TO the
interest Of world peace and free from
any political or other bias.
"Manifestly such determination ar
rived at by mutual agreement and rAade
effective by efforts In good faith is pref
erable to an'expression by any outside
body. no matter how disinterested and
impartial. Therefore. inasmuch as there
is scheduled official conference ap-
pointed for January 2 next for the con-
sideration of this question. we venture
to suspend our decision on your re-
quest for an American commission in

fringe Sovereignty of Turkey.

I.ArsASNE, Dec. 2s.-U. S. Ambassa-
dor Child addressing the Near East con-
ference to-day said:
"Tie United States has an independent
position, based upon two important and
serious considerations.
"The first Is the eanctity of obliga-
tions. The United states enjoys certain
treaty rights which are obligations of
Turkey In i91i these obligations ON
the part Of Turkey existed toward many
nations. The United States is one
among those nations, whose rights under
these obligations cannot be set aside
by Turkey alone, except by Reputation.
We do not believe Turkey desires TO
follow the unsuccessful example OF ma
tions which base their Independence
upon mere reputation of international
obligations.
THE second consideration is the fund
amental equity which foreigners. sicn
as nationals of the United States. who
have invested their personal or material
fortunes in Turkey. may expect from the
Turkish Government.
THE protection upon which the y have
counted cannot he withdrawn without
the creation of an obvious injustice. All
the world, including believe, the Turk =
ish people themselves. would look upon
this injustice as an offense 10 those prin-
clples which create the international
faith and fidelity so necessary for the
functioning OF the worlds social security
and the cooperation OF it's economic
forces.
"The representatives OF tho United
states understand that in respect Ia
these rights. created by treaty or by
usage. the position OF the Turkish dele
cation has been founded upon a desire
for complete freedom from any restric-
tion of the sovereignty or Independence
of Turkey. For the maintenance OF
Turkish sovereignty we have sympathy.
For its progress we have much hope.

Borah Questions Lodge.

Mr. Borah then said: "rhe President
seyg In this letter that while the State
Department has contended that the
question OF the debts should be consid-
cred separate and apart from the ques-
tlon of reparations, the foreign govern
mcnts contend otherwise and that the
two propositions apparently are>
woven and must be considered together.
"Then he suggests that it Congress de-
sires to be helpful 1t will give the debt
commission greater authority TO. deal
with this question of the international
debt. Does the Senator understand that
that greater authority means that the
President desires Congress TO change the
statute so that, the debt commission may
have full latitude to deal with the
method and manner of disposing of the
debt and the consideration of the repa
rations q7estion?''
II asked the President that aues-
ton said Mr.. Lodge. THE latitude
mentioned In his letter is in regard to
the rate of interest. and the terms Of
the bonds. II does not in any sense in
clude the question of the cancellation of
the debt, and am authorized to Say, as
] have said II here. that that is not
within the confederation of the Admin
sstration at all and they are opposed
to the cancellation of the debt, as they
always have been"
At this point senator Borah announced
he was willing TO have the issue settled
at once, but did not wish TO choke off
debate He said If II were agreeable he
would ask unanimous consent that the
Senate take up the matter for final dis
position at o'clock. He withdrew his
PROPOSAL when told that--Senator John

Lodge interjected. II am not in a po-

to every one what their limitations

II aleo asked in that connection about
his reference to greater latitude to
be given 20 the commission and he said
thai referred to the question OF the
amortization OF the debt. or TO the
question of racial interest"
'.Precisely," added Mr.. McCormick.
"The negotiations by the State Depart
meft. like those between the European
governments, have sought TO find basis
OF agreement upon which the tentative
Brhssels conference could be followed,
because. as published in the press, none
OF the governments believed 1t would De

Reaction 10 the Letter.

Tie reaction to the letter was most
favorable. and it was generally admitted
that Mr. Harding has won another I'M
portant victory as leader of the Repuo-
lican party Until he took firm stand
on the Borah proposal the Senate was
drifting about like a snip without
Iudder.
Considerable light was throWn upon
the negotiations now going ~ between
this country and Europe tending to
stabilize economic conditions by a col
loquy between Senator Lodge and SEN
atof Rorah following the reading OF the
Presidents letter
Does the Senator know what the
purport of these negotiations Is, what
they include?- Senator Borah asked
senator Mccormick Ull).e
.srhe Senator does not replied Mr..
Mccormick, but If the Senator had
been here a few days longer he could
have learned no doubt, by going to the
Stale Department to ask.
'Tf the Senator wouli take occasion
to visit the State Department any time
soon.' Mr. Borah suggested. Il would
he greatly pleased to have him advise
hiss colleagues what the negotiations in
clude."
