 Not only have the present unfortu- nate industrial .vJub,es come % Presidfnt Harding" said senator Willis. "as the ripened. bitter and certain fr1litzge of of mfstaken-poicies in the past. but on March 1. 1921. there was handed to him the most tangled. disorganized wreck of affairs that was ever presented by one administration to another"
 Discussing the industrial situation. he said the president had inherited from the preceding administration the legacy of largess and reczlessness which Is now eliminating in disturbent industrial conditions so grave as to tax the wis dom of statesmanship for their solu- tion."

RUSSIA TO BE ALLOWED TO
 OUTLINE NEW PROPOSALS

The Hague, July 17.-(By The 4. P.l Soviet Russia will be given an op- portunity tomorrow to outline any new proposals for a settlement of the is sues which have been before the con ference. in other words, The Hague com ference has been resuscitated
 Everything depends upon whether the Russian. delegation has concrete propo- sitions concerning confscated property showing a distinct change from the pre- vious attitude of the delegation on this problem, which the European delegates deemed utterly unacceptable.
 M. Lityinoff's S letter to the non-Rus- sian experts today asking for a renewal of the negotiations was discussed this afternoon by the European representa- tives. This meeting was far from har- nlonious, but finally it was agreed that the Russians should be invited to meet the sub-commission on property tomor- row and submit their new suggestions.
 The French opposed any renewal of the pourpar,ors insistin vigorously that Litvinoffs communication was merely 8 reiteration of the old bolshevik post ton.
 The Russians would not restore prog ertys the Frerryl declA-ed, and they would discuss forms of compensation only when they knew how much they owed foreign countries and the extent to which foreign countries were ready to help Russia financial,y.s
 European experts declined. tu adopt Ms Litvinoff's suggestion for joint meeting of the leaders of the non-Rus- sian commissions and the Russians, to find, if possible, basis for the continu- ation of the conference, believing that the Russians should be requested to state immediately their grounds for thinking that the conference can be ef- fectively resumed.
 Many of the delegates. especially the British, prefer an arrangement with the Russians providing for some kind of restitution of confiscated property, ra-f- CT than a promise of compensation, be, cause they frankly believe that the Rus sians will never pay compensation they want foreiners to get their factories back so they can run under efficient manage ment for the benefit of Russians and foreigners, and are convinced that this would be the best means of regeneratine Russia and recreating general conf dence.
 Some of the delegates cited the earles' phraseology of M, Livinoff's letter as in di.ating a sincere desire to attain en- ] eral accord for the reconstruction O 1 Russia, and believe that the utmost pa tience should b. exercised.

Proposed Solution
 of the Preparations
Reduction of German Indem- nity to 50, 1000, ,OOO, GOO Gold Marks and Cancella- ton of French Debt to Eng land.

Paris July 17-(By the A. P.)-The reduction of the German indemnity to 5O,000,000,000 gold marks from the pres ent total of 132,O0O,0 100000 and the can cellation of the French deot to England is the basis of a solution of the repara- tions question now being seriously dis cussed by French and British officials.
 Although the scheme has no, yet of ficially reached the reparations ccmmis- sion members of the latter have discussed the details. It is expected the proposed plan will be one of the chef subjects of discussion in the forthcoming meeting of Premiers Poincare and Lloyd George j The suggested solution has the hear.y support of British officials, who have been urging its acceptance upon the French officials, it is announced The latter, so The Associated Press has been reliably informed, is looking with more and more favor upon the plan, provided it carries with it clean cnt pledge of as sistance in time of attack an1 assures France the allotment, wholly or in part of England's 22 per cent. share of the total indemnity. It is nelievei that Eng land is ready to concede virtually all these demands if full acceptance or the partsof the French government is obtain ed.
 
 when it was definitely dstarn,ined that the United States was not tl mood 10 discuss cancellation of the allied debt, it was learned today. Supp 3rters of the scheme hope America will follow the lead after she had had the chance to observe the good, which may result from even q rartial writing off of tile war debts.
 British officials nave informed the French that .heir plan would bliag ab.ut radical change in the present European situation. It is thought that the marx would be stabilized, business confiderce restored and Germany, wirh ;i coilectib.e indemnity would be bound .o iln1 means of paying.
