Europe Is r:aeus-ed

Washington, Jan. 2G.-There was
heated debate IN the senate late
yesterday with reference to the eco.
nomic conditions in Europe, the ar.
gument being brought about over
the foreign debt refunding plan.
The situation in Europe was
brought into the debate by Senator
Borah, republican, Idaho. who de-
clared that "the key to the policy"
there was the economic destruction
Of The German people. He declared
that while the treaty of Versailles
remains the law Of Europe" Il
would be futile for the United States
to seek a satisfactory adjustment
of the foreign debt, and. that any
assistance this country might seek
to render European nations would
avail little.
If the treaty of Versailles we're
revised and the allied nations re.
duced their armies even to a reason
able extent, Senator Borah said,
these nations not only could meet
the interest payments due the
United States but could retire part
of the principal of the debt as well.
Under present conditions, he said,
10 man could say the debtor nations
could begin to pay interest, adding
that 1t was proper for him to call
attention that so long as present
policies were pursued In Europe,
I'VE are justified in transacting this
debt matter on purely business
basis"
A constitutional point against the
bill was raised by Senator Walsh,
democrat, Montana, who argued
that by means of it congress was
undertaking to transfer the treaty
making power from the president
to the secretary of the treasury, and
a commission.
