From conversations which Hugo

appears that he came to Rome when
he heard of American proposals
that portion OF ell the war debts

permitted after the European states
had given assurances they would put
their finances in order.
Herr SHINES came to Rome yes
terday. without notice beforehand OF
his coming: even the German am
bassador knew nothing about il.
until he learned OF the magnate's
presence in Rome through the news
papers.
While SHINES refused to grant an
interview today. saying he had no
statement to make. it is learned that
he is in favor OF the American sug-
ges;ion to call an international
economic conference at which all
the countries interested would be
represented by delegates having full
powers in order to be able definitely
to solve the reparations inter-Alied
debt and exchange sterilization
questions.
He is represented as believing
that the United States is the coun-

Herr SHINES is said to be DESTROYS
OF enlisting the support OF Premier

on the attitude OF most OF the other
countries.
The Giornale D'Ita,ia says that
SHINES. While in Rome. had a con-
versation with Pope Plus and also
saw Cardinal Gasparri. the papal
