CONTINUE FARLEY PREPARATION
British Delegates Do Not Expect Lau-
same Postponement.

LONDON, January Is lP), - Great
Britain's delegates to the Lausanne Debt
Conference are continuing preparations
for the opening of that meeting on
January 25, despite reports in Paris
that 1t might be postponed In Of
f1cial British quarters postponement
was not expected.
There still has been no indication
from Downing street as to what the
British policy will be, but an inf1uen-
tial section of the press, baSing its
comment on hints from official quar-
tiers, has indicated growing support
for the views expressed a few days
ago by Sir Walter Layton against a
reparations moratorium of one or two
years.
Instead of advocating a five-year
respite for Germany, as was the con-
sensus until recently, opinion is now
veering to a plan for making the
Lausanne conference a mere formal
gathering for receiving report from
the Young Advisory Committee which
met some weeks ago at Basel.
Thus, while the conference itself
would not be postponed, any real con-
Sideration OF reparations would be de-
layed until the end of the year.
BY this program 1t is hoped in some
quarters that reparations and war debts
might be linked more closely in order
to facilitate definite permanent settle
ment of the whole problem 1t is
understood that the British will dis
courage any attempt to raise the issue
of ntergovernmental war debts at

DRIVE OPENED TO END
FALSE BANK RUMORS
Federal Agents Sent to Ohio to
Round Up Persons Response
BILE for Stories.
By the Associated Press.

by lne Associated Press
CLEVELAND, January 16.-Federal
operatives have been sent here from
Washington to round up persons spread
ing false stories about national banks
of Cleveland and Northern Ohio, United
States District Attorney Wilfred j.
Mahon revealed late yesterday.
The Federal men are working in this
district under direction Of William q.
Harper, chief of the Government secret
service in Cleveland. Mahon said. Their
investigation will be directed against
those spreading malicious rumors con-
corning national banks and banks which
are members Of the Federal Reserve
system.
Criminal prosecution and prison terms
await any persons found guilty OF
circulating such rumors, Mahon said.
He added that some of the statements
are vicious in nature, and could DO
great damage to the banks, their clients
and the public at large"
Mahon said that in day or two the
agents would extend their drive to
Youngstown, Akron, Toledo and other
Northern Ohio cities. Headquarters
for theIound-up will be in Cleveland.

to any bank, savings bank, trust COM
pany building and loan association, in
surance company and agricultural as
Sociations and to railroads approved by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Banks already closed and in process OF
liquidation are not excluded
The loans will run for three years,
with provision for tWo-year extension.
According to its proponents, the cor
poration at no time Is expected to have
all of it's capital invested. Experience
with the War Finance Cooperation in
dictates that not all of the original fund
of $500, 000,0 900 may be needed to stabil-
lie credit and restore confidence. The
war time body, capitalized for similar
sum. had no more than $134 900, 000
outstanding in loans at any one time.
In this connection Senator Walcott
of Connecticut told the Senate that
Gov. Meyer of the Federal Reserve
Board and Undersecretary Mills of the
Treasury concur in the belief that the
corporation will be so financially strong,
with the Treasury back of it, that
enough confidence will be created by
the very act itself so that the banks
and railroads probably will not call on
more than the actual capital stock of
100000, 900"
Stand or FAN Together.
There was much discussion in Con-
gress as to whether the corporation
would help little business" as well as
big business" 1t was made plain that
all kinds of business. small and large
are interdependent They must, in the
end. stand or fall together. The smaller
ones succumb first, but the insidious
repercussions often prove fatal to the
bigger corporations.
AS Representative Stewart of the
Committee on Banking and Currency
explained, the corporation is intended
to relieve and cure the ills of all
branches of agriculture, commerce, in
dustry and finance, mo matter how
small the institution applying for aid
may be-"
Representative Tucker of Virginia ex-
pressed it this way:
I'VE have here a bill not for the
relief of farmers, laborers, merchants
and doctors, but for the relief of the
whole people of the United States"
And Mr.. Stewart summed the plan
up as follows:
THE direct result Of the enactment
of this bill, in my judgment, will be to
bring boarded money out of safe deposit
boxes and out of stockings and to start
the streams of liquidation that will
ultimately relieve our present economic
difficulties

DR.. KaaS was giving the chancellor
advice, If not an order, to speak de-
ciSively Thus Germany considers that
she is paying tribute in paying for the
consequences of the ruins she has &C
cumulated of the fires she has lighted
and of the Sufferings she inflicted for
four years on men and things.
We can possibly understand a policy
of destruction ordered for military rea-
sons, but when a beaten Germany,
forced to fall back, lays waste for the
pleasure of laying waste a city such as
Cambria, which afterward had to be
rebuilt stone by stone, Is she not bound
to make reparation?
If public opinion said no, then 1t
would be necessary to give up all hope
of injecting morality into human pol
icy; it would be necessary to abolish
the idea of duty and to condemn hu-
mainly to live like the beasts OF the
field under the protection of force alone.
We Frenchmen will never submit to
such view.
Calls 1t Tragedy.
Definite solution of the reparations
problem!" What do these words mean
if none of the signed contracts is ever
carried out? So long as such words
are uttered by party chiefs alone, they
are not very serious.
The tragedy is that the head Of a
government should indOrse them and
that in the name of Germany, which
signed the Young plan, chancellor
as worthy of respect as DR.. Breuning
should bring them to the knowledge OF
other governments through their Am
bassadors.
We know that the German Ambas-
sador in Paris conveyed this message
to Premier Laval. ! know that Sec
ond telegram from Berlin to Reuters "a
news agency tried to minimize the
impression produced, and condition
was introduced into the new text with
a view to diminishing the measure OF
refusal.
1t said: Germany is incapable OF
paying either today or in the future II
the economic recovery Of the whole
world is to be brought about"
We recognize a difference in shade,
but it is only shade, and will not be
persisted in.
Now, we Frenchmen are men of good

actually then reporting them. He said
that he would submit the dispatches
in confidence to the members of the
committee. For a department of our
Government to read to international
bankers kilograms of grave conse-
quence to our people, and to deny
them to the people themselves, is. in
my opinion, an insult to those I repre-
sent.
After this first refusal, I asked Mr.
White to bring copies or transcripts Of
the kilograms which he purported to
recite, and which he said he had read
to international bankers, deleting from
them everything which might not be
pertinent to our inquiry. or which
might in any fashion affect our inter-
national relations He specifically de-
clined to do even this. We have pre-
sented, therefore, the strange and
anomalous situation:
"Q) Dispatches in which our psople
are vitality interested are read by q
department of our Government to in
ternational bankers and denied to the
rest of our people
"(2) The offer is made that these
dispatches will be shown in confidence
to members of the committee, which, of
course, precludes them from discussion
publicly.

"(3) The represents tive of the Sec
rotary of State recited verbally what
he says these dispatches contained, and
yet refuses to permit the committee to
see the dispatches themselves;
30 The Secretary of States Office
asserts there may be, in these dis
patches, something which would be
foreign to the investigation, and the
publication of which might BE- irrita-
ting in our international relations; and
yet, when asked to delete any such! por
lions and bring to the committee only a
transcript or copy of that which was
communicated to the international
bankers in New York, he fatty refuses,
This is the record in the case.
Secretary of State Stimson, before
the committee this morning, said he
would further consider the matter"

Representative Luce, Republican, of

Unless l mistake the temper Of the
House, its members feel aggrieved that
this country has been indirectly financ-

willing to relieve European debtors Of
their obligations, unless temporarily, as

We had a feeling of real CONSERVATION when
