President Objects
to Limitations of
Allied Debt Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Objection
by the administration to the allied
debt refunding bill as amended by
the senate was encountered today by
the house ways and means commit
tee when it took up the measure in
executive session.
Chairman Fordney said action
would be deferred until he could con-
fer with President Harding, probably
tomorrow.
Secretary Mellon, who was before
the committee, said he would rather
have had bill without the 25 year
maturity and Ia per centminimum
interest rate limitation, but that it
would be feasible to go ahead with
the refunding negotiations and if
these limitations proved insurmount-
able in the case of some countries,
additional authority could then be
asked of congress.
1t was understood that the presi-
dent objected to these limitations as
written in the senate following agree
ment on them by the Republican ma
jority. 1t was said that attention of
the committee had been called that
in the case of some of the debtor ma
tions. particularly the smaller and
the newly formed ones, it might be
necessary to defer payment of the
refunded debt for so years instead of
25 years, and that where the loans
were to extend over such a long peri
cd. ii might be desirable to fix the
interest rate as low as 4 per cent

Miss Gerber is only II years of age

Catherine plays center on one of
Baltimore's best girl basketball teams.
Unless she fumbles the ball or some
enc trips her. she is ALMOST certain
to score goal every time she gets
within hailing distance of the basket.
Some idea of Catherine Gerber's
unusual physical advantage over the
other girls on the court can ue gained
from the posed picture.
Jean Adds is an ordinary-siZed girl
standing five feet three inches, ca
pable of reaching upwards a distance
OF six feet five inches.

Jean can keep Catherine from shoot

OPPOSITION TO MANDATE
BY PALESTINE ARABS

Jerusalem.-(By Mail to the Asso-
ciated Press The Arab Congress
Executive, looking forward to carry
ing its opposition to the granting to
Great Britain of the Palestine man
date, met in Jerusalem lately and
passed a series of resolutions. Some
of these provided for continued agi-
tation against ratification of the man
date; others considered a course of
action in case the mandate were ap-
proved.
The Council of the League of Ma
tions formally approved the Palestine
mandate to Great Britain and the
Syrian mandate to France in London,
July "a, more than three weeks after
this letter from Jerusalem was writ
ten. The Earl of Balfour, in outlin-
ing Great Britian's policy in Palestine
before the Council, said this would be
one of strict impartiality, and justice
in which all traditional rights, senti-
ments and religious feelings of the
different racial groups would be re-
spected and held inviolate.
Among the resolutions are the fol
lowing:
If the mandate is ratified in its
present form, the executive will ask
the delegation in London to return sc
as to start operations on the next spot
againts the government.
That a Moslem delegation be sent
to Mecca to carry on propaganda
among the pilgrims from India, Tur
key, Persia and Egypt for the realiz
| alton Of the Arab demands.
That Christian delegation be sen
to the Vatican in Rome to carry on the
same propaganda in the center of tn,
Catholic world.
Commenting on the situation jana
Efendi el Husseini, the Secretary O.
the Arab Executive, said: "The worl,
il general and in particular Grea
Britain must realize that the sparl
Of liberty and independence still burn
in the heart of every Palestinian. W.
would rather shed the last drop of ou
blood in the struggle for freedom
than spend the rest of our lives as tn,
