ABANDONS FEDERAL
CONTROL SCHEME
WAS INFORMED THAT CONGRESS
WOULD NOT GIVE HIM SUCH
AUTHORITY.
MUST FIND ANOTHER PLAN
President Likely to Keep Hands OF,
After Being Forced to Abandon
Demand For Empowering the
Necessary Legislation.

Washington.-Proposals for govern
ment operation of rail and coal proper
ties put aside, at least for the present,
and administration leaders, both in
and out of congress centered their Of
forts instead on less drastic measures
to meet the industrial emergency.
With the return to Washington of
President Harding, with some of his
principal advisers on board the May
flower, 1t became apparent that no
step toward government operation was
to become a part of the present admin
istration programme.
Not only was it revealed that the
president himself was not disposed to
ask for congressional authority to take
over the properties involved in the
strike situation, but it was made
known also that a group of leaders in
the senate and house had taken a po-
sition which would make passage Of
the authorizing legislation extremely
difficult.
Meantime, committees in both the
branches Of congress reported out, for
passage later in the week, bills recon-
mended by the administration to
strengthen its hand in controlling coal
distribution by creating a federal dis
~tributing agency and by giving to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
broader powers over the priority of
shipments. In the house the bill will
be taken up under a rule providing for
six hours OF debate.
In the senate committee action was
taken after only a short discussion
and with members %reserving, the right
to debate the measure or the floor.
The house committee did not vote its
approval until 1t had heard arguments
for the measur by Secretary Hoover
and Commissioner Aitchison Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and
some sharp criticism of its price-fixing
from representatives of both employers
and labor in the industry.
Secretary Hoover, Attorney General
Daugherty, Chairman Cummil S OF the
senate interstate commerce committee
and others who accompanied President
Harding on the Mayflower trip are un-
derstood to have taken part in a pro-
longed discussion of administration
policies. 1t was said that opinion
among the chief executives advisers
was divided on the subject of govern
ment operation but that in the end Mr..
Harding indicated he would exert no
pressure for legislation authorizing
such a step.
AS viewed by the Mayflower confer
ees, the coal strike situation, both an
thracite and bituminous appeared in
a way to solve itself and insure In
creased production in the very e
future leaving the problem of moving
the product to the consumer as the
cruz of the whole effort to restore in
dustrial stability. There was an init
nation that a further curtailment OF
the less important classes of railroad
service in order to utilize motive pow
er and cars for food and fuel might be
one of the steps taken TO relieve the
emergency.

Paris.-Tke reparations crisis was
smoothed over by a decision of the
r%eparations commission refusing Ger
many's demand for a moratorium, but
at the same time absolving the Berlin
government from further cash pay
ments this year. In the meantime the
decision is that Belgium, to whom
would have gone, owing to her priority
right, whatever money would have
been received from the Reich up to
Dec. 81 next. gets German promissory
notes instead of gold. The Brussels
government is satisfied with this ar
rangement, which indeed is supposed
to have been suggested by its dele
gates on the commission, and France
also is presumed to acquiesce, since
Louis Dubois, French spokesman and
the commissions chairman, voted
EYE" Immediately after a conference
with Premier Poincare,' who had &C
copied the Belgian compromise.
Thus, for the present a rupture
among the allies is averted and the
French army's advance into the Ruhr
has been called off.
There is general expectation that
the result Of the commissions DELHI
erations will have a beneficial effect
upon both the franc and the mark,
although basically the financial situa.
ton in France and Germany is unaf-
fected.
The first step in today's proceed
ings was a .lat rejection by a majority
vote of the French and Belgian dele
gates against the British, with the
italian envoy a%bstaining from voting
on Sir John B%radbury's motion for
granting Germany an unconditional
moratorium for the balance of the
year. The compromise project then
was voted into effect unanimously.
The commission formally postponed
passing upon Berlin's moratorium re.
quest until it has terminated a pro-
gram for the reform Of German fl
lance inc uding balancing of the bud
get; eventual reduction, providing con-
sent of interested powers is obtained,
of Germany's external obligations;
monetary readjustment and omission
Of foreign and domestic loans when
possible.
Debt Modification Necessary.
What is important in the above
enumeration of contemplated reforms
Is the commissions recognition of the
necessity fer modifying the total Ger.
man Indebtedness to the allies.
The Bels'ans urged this thesis on
the ground that the whole question of
reparations and i~nterallied debts
must lie rerashed next November. The
commission finally finds that in order
to give time for carrying out its pro.
gram it will accept in payment of
