u. S. Loan to Germany
ArOuSes Interest Here
International News Service.

SCAAAoSsOAAsAA ENCWD SCkNAGSCs
Much interest has been aroused in
official, diplomatic and financial
circles here today by the proposal
for joint settlement Of the German
reparations problem and the allied
debt to America. advanced at the
meeting of the International Cham
Der Of Commerce at Rome, by Fred
]. Kent, vice president Of the Bank
ers' Trust Company of New York
city.
Careful examination Of the pro-
posal, it IL understood, Is being made
by the State Department and by
group Of international financiers.
kents plan would provide for the
flotation of a loan to Germany in
the United States of sufficient size
to set that country back on a sound
economic basis-such loan to come
before reparations in repayment.
At the same time, positive agree
ments" would be reached between
the Allies and Germany whereby
reparations payments due the Allies
would be diverted to the United
States as partial settlement of the
allied war debt to this country.

Health Experts.

The Board OF Trade went on
record last night at meeting IN

opposing any legislation designed
to restrict the use Of animals for
experimental operations, or in
lection Of disease germs. A resOlu.
ton recommending this attitude by
the body was introduced by DR..
Percy Kicking. chairman Of the
committee on public health, who
declared that existing laws are
sufficient to prevent and punish
any abuses In connection with
this work.
Has Saved Many Lives.
DR.. Kicking was supported in his
contention by many eminent ply
'sicians. DR.. c. w. Richardson said
that the lives Of thousands of
young men had been saved during
the world war through knowledge
obtained through experiments In
viviSection. In the District, he
said. the mortality rate thirty years
ago was very high, but through use
Of serums, knowledge OF which was
gained by viyisection experiments,
it now was only about z per cent.
Father Torndorf, Of Georgetown
University, told board members
that the lower animals did not
suffer from the experiments in
vivisection and advocated It's con-
tinuance for the good Of humanity.
He announced himself az opposed
to the use Of criminals and insane
persons for the experiments.

the next words:

The correspondent recalled various

in the past?" demanded Chancellor
Cuno. did we not, on the very
eve Of French occupation Of the
Ruhr make the frankest and fairest
offer imaginable-an offer whole

even If we wanted to make new
