washington. July 26.-(R)-Predic-

which the United States already has
been sounded out might meet at least
some Of Senator Borah's ideas
emerged Tuesday from talk about his
plan for a round-table discussion of
economics.
At the same time, though. Borat,
indicated Impotence over delay In a
formal invitation for the United

by the League Of Nations, expressing
a hope that the United States would
take the initiative.
The government officially was ST.

admissions that European nations
will suggest debt revision when the
next debt payments become due
Dec. Is.
No intimation as yet had come from,
the state department that this coun-
try would be willing to talk about
debts and tariffs at the suggested
conference growing out Of the Lau-
same meeting. When Sir Ronald
Lindsay, British ambassador, talked
over the new meeting with American
officials. he was told the United
States would discuss many things
but not war debts and tariff rates.
The Idaho senator would trade wal
debts for disarmament and repara-
tons cancellation. His plan, regard
less of administration silence and be-
cause of his prominence abroad, was
considered at the capital as at least
an overture toward swapping with
debt payers next December.

he will tell his chiefs what he think;

Borah wants arms cut so per cent;
President Hoover has suggested 3;

Meanwhile, the United States ha.
not yet said 1t would decline to an

Washington, July. z6.-tP)-Possible
currency increases of more than
s6,00o,00O Tuesday entered the pic
ture OF a government pressing ahead
with its relief work.
While President Hoover talked over
the $500. 200, 900 reconstruction cor
poration with one of it's directors. the
treasury let it be known that a dozen
banks were interested in what they
could do under the Glass-Borah
amendment to the home loan bank
bill.
Hoover and Gardner Cowles, Sr.
recently named to the corporation
directorate, discussed at length the
$500, 0O0, 900 available under the new
relief law for restitution loans to
states. What they decided was not
announced after the meeting, but the
selection of Fred c. Croxton, assist
ant director of the presidents un-
employment committee, to assist cor
poration directors was made known.
Croxton, with the employment
committee for two years, Immediately
went to work at his new job, adding
his knowledge Of geographical nee
essities to the studies Of how to
expedite relief loans.
The treasury said banks all over
the country had inquired about the
GlaSs-Borah amendment under
which they could issue currency
against government bonds bearing
not more than 3 3-8 per cent interest.
They seemed principally concern
ed, 1t was said. about how soon the
law would become effective. The
comptroller and treasurer advised
the banks that the law would be
worked out soon so currency could
be issued in less than a week.

Fargo, N. D., July 26.-(P)-County
municipal ana school budget boards
in North Dakota are welding a sharp
economy knife on governmental ex-
penditures.
Preliminary budgets of various units
OF government show distinct trend
toward reducing taxes to the lowest
they have been in decade.
A survey by the Fargo Forum of
some OF the preliminary budgets re-
veals that % counties, IL villages and
towns and II school districts propose
aggregate reductions of 1871 ,78O I'M
der last years expenditures.
The % counties, in their prelimi-
nary budgets. propose total reductions
of s427,647 under last year: the II
villages and towns propose reductions
Of S121,2l and the IL school dis
trictS propose reductions of $l82.479.
The available preliminary budgets,
to be considered at public hearings
this week, show these trends:
Boards are fixing budgets on the
ability OF people to pay taxes rather
than on demands confronting them.
Tax payments due Dec. 81 this year
and payable March Is, 1888. and Oct.
Is. 1888. without penalty will be the
lowest in a decade.
Poor relief expenditures for the en-
suing year will be the highest in the
history of the state.
Few school districts will resort to
special elections to increase mill lev
les beyond the statutory maximum;
in some instances schools will be
forced to operate less than nine
months because funds available from
tax levies on so per cent valuation
OF property will not provide sufficient
income to maintain the system Of
schools formerly supported under the
Is per cent valuation plan.
