HARDING ACTS
ON DEBT FUND
Prepares Statement to Con-
gress Asking Approval of
British Settlement

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.--Presi-
dent Harding today prepared a state
ment to congress asking for approv-
al of the British debt funding set
tlement negotiated by the American
and British debt com missions. II
was indicated that he probably
would submit his recommendations
to the senate and House tomorrow
with an urgent request that approval
be given without delay.
There also were number of
White House conferences regarding
the prospects for legislative action
and it was evident the President was
preparing to act only after he Ead
informed himself fully as to the state
of congressional opinion on the sub
ject. Early callers at the executive
offices included Seuator Watson, Re
publican, Indiana. and representa-
tive Mondell, of Wyoming, the Re-
publican floor leader of the House.
with both of whom Mr.. Harding is
understood to have discussed what
form of authorizing legislation
would be least likely to encounter
serious opposition.
Many of the senate and House
leaders would prefer to see a general
amendment to the present funding
law, broad enough to enable the debt
commission to negotiate settlements
with all the debtor nations on terms
analogous to those embraced in the
British agreement. The opinion is
widespread among the administra-
tion's friends in congress, however,
that to attempt such revision
might lead TO serious delay and that
the wiser course would be to ask
merely for an authorization covering
specifically the settlement with Great
Britain.
For such an authorization the ad-
mfnistration senators ana represea-
tatives forsee only scattering oppor-
sition, although it is realized that
much debate may result from ef-
forts to attach riders dealing with
the bonus and other subjects. In
some quarters 1t is believed that
Senator Borah. Republican. Idaho
may try to attach 70 the debt fund
ing measure his resolution for an
economic conference allied by the
United States, thus opening up 4
wide field for discussion end per-
haps complicating seriously the
senate legislative situation.

The 192S-S4 school budget as

Recent accidents along this
stretch of road il which pedes-

Burton Answers SilZer
ON Purchase of Land
For Bridge Approach
Burton Claims Part of Land
Can be Sold Again for
Large Sum

Diyerting his attack from patent
/ navings for the time being but still
aiming his guns at the State Hlg l.
way Commission. which he has lust
custe6, Governor Silzer in speaking
at East Orange last night declared
he had requested the attorney gen
eral to investigate the purchase for
$230,000 of property in Perth Am
boy valued at not more than 500
900. This property will be used for
the northern approach to the new
state-federal bridge across the Ra--
itan. "a waste of $140,000 of the
peoples money in one transaction
was the way the governor referred
to this deal.
George L. Burton, former char
man of the State Highwag Com
mission, today answered the gov
ernor's charges of an excessive
amount being paid for the land ana
defended the action of the board in
purchasing the land at high price.
The land had been valued at S245,-
600 ard $227,000 by the Perth Am
boy realtors, Mr.. Burton said, ana
by buying the commission game i
possession of land which he thinks
can later be sold for a price suffi-
cienr to pay the entire cost of the
approach. Rental of the land
would have cost 100000, Mr.. Bur
ton said, at the rate of $25.GOO a

What Rnrrnn sars

SOUTH RIVER, Feb. 5,-Renlv-
ing to the charges made by Governor
SilZer yesterday that an exhorbitant
sum had been paid by the Highway
commission for lands for the an
proaches to the highway bridge
across the Raritan river at the AM
boys, George L.. Burton, former
chairman of the commission today
defended the commissions action in
buying the land for the approaches.
Governor, Silzer fails to indicate
in attacking the price paid for the
bridge approach that when the
bridge is completed the State will
have between four and five acres of
land left which can probably be sold
for enough to pay the entire cost of
the approach" Mr.. Burton said.
"The property in question:" he
continued was valued by Isaac AL
perm, president of the Perth Amboy
Trust Company, at $245,000 and by
Fraser Brothers, realtol 8, at 1927,
900. We were compelled to pay this
price because we took over the en-
tire property but by doing so we
saved $150,000 in the cost of the
construction of the bridge and $780,
900 rental of the land for the ap-
r -oach."
If the land had been rented, Mr..
Burton said, it would have been nee
essary to construct retaining walls
for the approach in order to insure
the bridges safety. This would have
cost $150,000 he estimated. Rental
of the land would have been $4,000
yearly for the four years estimated
to build the bridge.

Act To Avert war

LAUSANNE, Feb. 5 (By The Asso-.
ciated Press) The Turkish s-elega-
ton to The Near Fa conference an
nounced this morning that II would
ask the powers whether they consit1
er the negotiations officially at an
end.
The impression prevailed among
the conference delegates today that
Turkey would not be inform ed Off
ciaIly of the termination of the nsgo-
tiations inasmuch as it was generally
desired to continue the Mudania
arnlistice, thus avoiding the possible
renewal of war.
Ismet Pasha, after yesterdays final
session at which the Turks refused
TO accept the Allied terms, said he
would await official notification of
the collapse before considering the
conference closed, thus automatically
providing for the maintenance OF the
Mudania agreement.
The entire French delegation plan
ned to leave for Paris early this al
ternoon. Premier Poincare, in a tel-
ephone conversation with Nj. Bonn
pard, requested the return or the
French representatives.
Ambassador Child, chief Anerl-
can representative, together with
C. c. Montagua and others or the
Italian delegation, spent the nlorn-
ing in reframing the judicial and
economic capitulation clauses or tbs
treaty TO which the Turks object, in
the hope OF finding formulas satis-
factory, both to Angora and the al
lies. Mr.. Child said he had net
abandoned hope that an errange-
ment would be reached.
Members of the Oottoman deIegs~
ton reiterated that they do not con-
slider the conference officially
closed. Count Massigi, secretary
general Of the conference, remains
in Lausanne, thus keeping the off,
cial machinery going.

from Berlin to the railroad in the
Rhineland and the Ruhr had the
effect today of stiffening the strike
against the French and dispelled the
hopes of a settlement that have
been prevalent during the last few
days.
BY individual interviews. the dis
tribution of money and by promises
and warnings, the German govern

their utmost to encourage the re-
sistance which had begun to weaker

state employees.
Extension of the French occupa-
tion TO Offenburg and Appenweler,
two towns in Baden is believed to
have been decided upon as pen
atty for German interference with
