HOUGHTON PRAISED
BY BERLIN PAPER
Ambassador, on Leaving for Lon.
don, Called Outstanding States
man of Our Time
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, February 23-Die Zeit,
organ of Foreign Minister, Streseman mn,
pays an unusual tribute to Alanson B.
Houghton the American Ambassador,
on his departure from Berlin to take up
his new post at London, praising him
both as "one of the outstanding states
men of our time" and "a man whose
charming manner and kindly spirit all
who came in close contact with him
priced highly
The words of farewell exchanged at
the recent dinner of President Ebert and
Minister Stresemann, the paper observes,
Were far more important than the
usual official addresses, and brought
proof of the, strong personal bond of
friendship between the Ambassad dor
from the United States and the leaders
of the German government"
Die Eeit recalls Mr.. Hougnton's de-
cisive influence at the London confer
ence over the Dawes plan. and also the
fact that DIR. Walter Rathenau, foreign
minister, spent the last evening before
his assassination at Mr.. Houghton' g
home with Hugo SHINES. The Ambas-
sadors relations to Germany's problems
the paper characterizes as follows:
The Ambassador viewed conditions
in Germany with friendly objectivity,
and one can assume that the improve
ment in the relations between the United
States and Germany was largely due to
his influence. He had a special grasp
of the industrial and social situation in
Germany
Mr.. Houghton's departures is viewed
with general regret by the entire .diplo-
matte corps concludes the paper, ..as
well as by all circles of the German gov
ernment.''
Matthew e. Hanna, first secretary of
the emba assy, will be in charge until the

CONTROL IS URGED
Senator Shipstead Says
Greatest Power for Good
or Evil Is Involved.

Control by the Federal Government
OF all American banking and invest
ment credit in the international
field as a means of promoting world
peace was advocated today in the
Senate by Senator Shipstead of Min
nesota, the Farmer-Labor member of
the foreign relatsns committee.
Through a control of the banking
credit of the world, Senator Ship
stead said, the United States is given
the greatest power for good or evil
that was ever given any nation in
the world to control" He added that
the manner in which control is exer
cised will determine, for good or
evil. the destiny of nations and the
destiny of humanity"
Senator Shipstead is chairman of
the foreign relations subcommittee,
which is to begin hearings this week
on the Ladd resolution to declare it
the sense of the Senate that Ameri-
can armed forces should not be used
for the collection of American private
loans.
Private Loans Mounting.
The Minnesota Senator and others
on the foreign relations committee
who have been urging that the Eu-
ropean nations refund their war debts
to the United States have been concerned
by the mounting of private American
loans to Europe, and more especially
by the recent statement of French
Finance Minister Clementel that nego-
tiations were under way for a new
loan to France by American banking
interests.
Senator Shipstead told his col
leagues in his address today that he
hoped President Coolidge would take
a position of frowning on the huge
foreign loans, and added that IL the
executive would follow that road to
the end, generations Of Americans and
generations of peoples in every ma
tion who come after him will bless
his name"
America, the Senator continued.

loan you mony in unlimited quantities
with which to finance your produc-
tive industries, with which to build
homes for your people and buy food
for you people, provided you will
disarm, disband your large standing
armies, quit building battleships and
get down to a peace basis.
I'VE are in a position to dictate
that policy of peace" he added. IF
the governments want our money let
them pay for 1t by guaranteeing
world peace. This is the genuine
power for peace, greater than all the
armies and ,navies of the world, all
the arbitration courts, all the Leagues
of Nations. all the holy and unholy
alliances that have disappointed naive
