Settlement by British With

CONGRESS ACTION LIKELY
More Liberal Attitude Dictated by
Administration as Results of
Preliminary Discussions.
CONGRESS ACTION LIKELY

Preliminary negotiations with the
British debt commission over the
question of payment of the British
war debt TO the United States has
convinced the administration, a White
House spokesman declared today,
that no settlement Of the problem
can be made under terms of the law
as 1t now exists.
within a week the Anglo-Amer-
lean debt negotiations probably will
come to some conclusion, it was in
dicated at the White House.
Report Likely.
The administration feels that it will
be impossible for Great Britain to
consummate an agreement under the
restrictions OF the act, and in all
by the American commission to Presi-
dent Harding for recommendation to
Congress.
When this possible revision of the
debt commission act could be ac-
complished the White House was un-
able to predict. Likewise, there was
uncertainty as to the exact feeling of
Congress in regard to the matter.
If recommendation is made to Con-
gress by the President for a liberal
iZatiOn or the law, ana THIS Is IN some
measure legislated by Congress. 1t
may form a precedent for the nego-
tiation of the debts of other European
countries.
Liberal Attitude Taken.
In the present circumstances, 1t was
said, the administration was coming
to a test of what can be done. The
attitude of the administration since
the introduction of the debt commits
sion legislation in Congress has been
for a more liberal allowance Of au-
thority to the debt commission.
This attitude was said at the White
House to have been continued and
there probably would be, 1t was said,
an agreement of some kind reached
by the two commissions, a report
made to the President and some kind
of recommendations to Congress.
How far the American commission
and the President will go in asking
for liberalization of the act was Un-
certain.
The American commission held a
meeting at the Treasury Department
today, while the British commission
ers conferred at their headquarters
at the Shoreham Hotel. The next
formal meeting is scheduled for to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock at the
Treasury. Tonight there Is to be a
reception at the British embassy in
honor of the British commission.

BERLIN TO RECALL
PARIS AMBASSADOR
Withdrawal Expected When
French Troops Cross

Copyright, 1923.
PARIS, January 9.-From credible
sources it is learned that Germany
intends to recall her ambassador TO
France as soon as she learns that
French troops have crossed the de-
marcation line which now separates
the occupied from the non-occupied
territories in the Rhineland, thus is
suing a formal notification to the
world that she considers the French
action a breach of the treaty of Yer
sailles.
Reports are circulating in Paris
that Germany may go further and
break off diplomatic relations entire

is considered improbable. In case
Ambassador Mayer. is recalled. a
charge d'affaires or minor official will
be left to carry on the business ad

tions commission expect that the oc-
cupation of Essen will take place to-

Poincare Prepared to Rush Strike

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. January 9.-Reports from
Duesseldorf today said that all troops
necessary for the expected coerciVe
movement of France in the Ruhr
would be assembled at the point of
Reinforcements were being sent to
take the place of the advancing units.
Premier Poincare is reported to
have sent a note to the German gov
ernment setting forth the decision of
the commission on the wood default,
together with paragraph of the Yer
sailles treaty covering the prospective
French steps and an announcement of
his intention to act.
Strike Is Anticipated.
Antfcipa ting a possible strike Of
is reported to have hired Professionally
a small army of strikebreakers, in
cluding miners, railroad men, butch
ers and bakers, who could be sent
into the region at short notice to
replace German labor.
The French public is taking the
situation in perfect calm, and there
is practically no opposition to the
governments prospective move. Op-
ponentS of the premier naturally ex-
press skepticism at the success of
the undertaking and indulge in the
usual criticism. The communists
alone are showing a certain agitation
and have indicated that they are try
ing to stir up trouble both here and
in the Rhineland, where Marcel
Cachin and CASTOR Monmousson are
operating. The government, however
attaches no undue Importance to their
activities. although 1t has indicated
that it would prosecute them should
they go too far.
Evening star., 1923-01-09

This new method Of broadcasting it
was explained by Mr.. Duncan, offers
a large number of advantages over
the more familiar method of radio
broadcasting.
Among the most important is the
elimination Of a receiving antenna, elm
ination of fading, static troubles, inter-
ference from the signals of radio trans
mltting stations and the fact that the
receiving apparatus may be plugged into
any convenient electric light socket. Due
to the absence of radiation from the
electric lines no interference is pro-
duced with the commercial radio
traffic or with radio broadcasting,
and for this reason neither govern
ment transmitting or operators
licenses are required.
In cooperation with the Potomac
Electric Power Company, Mr.. Duncan
and Mr.. Isler have been conducting ex-
periments in this new method of broad
casting for some time, during which the
voice has been transmitted over the high
voltage lines Of the power company from
the Georgetown and Tenleytown substa-
tions and received at the bureau of
standards and at different points in
Chevy Chase, d. c., and Maryland.
Radio transmitting and receiving ap-
paratus, with few minor changes, were
used in the public demonstration. A
