British Will Ask
Instructions on
, Debt Refunding
Representatives to Sail for
Home Saturday-Negotia-
tons to Be Resumed
at Later Date.

Washington. Jan. 17-By A. P.H
Negotiations between the American
and British debt commissions concern
ing the refunding of Great Britain's
war debt to the United States have
reached stage regarded as making
desirable a personal report by the
British to the cabinet at home before
the continuation of efforts to reach
even tentative agreement on terms,
The conversations which have con-
tinued for 10 days will be suspended
after Thursdays joint session and the
British will sail Saturday The time
and manner of the resumption of the
negotiations then will rest with the
London government.
In both British and American cir
cles today il was empasized that there
would be only a suspension of negotia-
tions; that settlement of the debt
must and would be reached. Both
sides to the negotiations also were
agreed that a speedy adjustment was
desirable because of the effect upon
world conditions generally.
Americans Hopeful.
Whether an agreement in principle
and so far as the authority of the
American commission is concerned,
it can be no more than that--will
come in time for formal action on it
by congress, at the present session
which has only six weeks to run. can
not be foretold. The Americans are
extremely hopeful that it will. for
otherwise the agreement could not
become effective under a year, as
President Harding has often stated
his determination not to call an extra
session of the new congress. From
the first the British have expressed a
desire for an early settlement and
they are fully cognizant of the situa-
ton here which might make for long
delay.
just how far apart the commissions
are at this time neither side will say,
but in American quarters it is de-
clared that the difference in views is
not great. The interest rate consti-
tutes the chief point of debate.
Up TO Governments.
Both commissions find themselves
/ in much the same position as regards
i the requirement of governmental
sanction to any terms reached.
The Americans must go directly to
congress for approval of the refund
/ ing arrangement and naturally they
have frankly stated to the British that
they could not accede to conditions of
settlement which could not be ex-
pected to receive ready ratification by
that body.
Likewise the British mission must
act in full accord with the desires of
] the London cabinet which, in forming
its ultimate judgment. could be ex-
pected to have regard for the question
of whether the terms could be expect
ed to meet with the approval of ma
| jority in parliament. 1t was explain
ed that one principal reason for the
return of the British mission at this
stage was to put Premier 'Bonar Laws
parliamentary lieutenants in posses
sion of the facts necessary to guide
them in their action in parliament.

Not Foreper, Mr.. Daugherty

The law saws Attorney General Daugherty, is set
tied forever He refers to the order of Federal Judge
Wikerson in Chicago making permanent the injunction
against the striking railroad shopmen CThis strike by
the way amcably settled in the case of the more
reasonable railroads nearly 10 months ago, when they
conceded the justice of the shipments demands)
Daughertys action in asking for the injunction startled
great part of the country including many of his own
friends 1t was regarded as unwarraned interference on
behalf of the railroads in dispute wherein to say the
least the protest of the workers was founded on simple
justice
But says Daugherty the law is settled forever
The present attorney general is mistaken to that Of
course 1t may be that the law is settled long the
present forces control the appointment OF federal judges
in America.
The history of the federal courts including the supreme
court reflects accurately from generation to generation
the element in society that has the most power Just
the courts largely filled with justices whose
prominence was obtained as railroad lawyers Naturally
years spent in the employment of the railroads has
abed such judges to the rights of the railroad
ers with the greatest clarity.
Who knows how long il will be before the tables
turned? The workers, exerng their political power in
diligently may day have control of affairs equal to
that possessed by the present dominant interests. That
time may be Recent elections point that way. When
it comes, may the peoples lawyers the federal
bench And won't the precedent set long ago of stranng
the meaning of the U. s. constitution to fit the needs of
dominant interests provide useful tool for these peoples
lawyers after they reach the bench?
No, Nh. Daugherty, the law may be settled for while
but not forever.
