After the conference the leaders oi

separate conventions.
The Jobless party adherents spurned
the projected fusion of the two groups

Father Cox to bring the 100000

also was cause of difference between

EDUCATOR URGES
DEBTS REVISION
Prof. Williams Tells Williams
town Institute Trade
Would Be Aided.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, August II.
Prof. John H. Williams of Harvard
University said at the Institute of Poll
tics today that American taxpayers are
beginning to realize that reduction Of
war debts would be to their advantage
for three reasons. He said these were:
First. insistence upon full payment
may bring default or Reputation.
Second, certain compensations may
be secured through reduction Of the
debts which would more than compen-
safe the American people for loss of
the debt payments.
Third, the process Of payment has
harmed our international trade.
Proposes New Revision.
Williams proposed that after the elec-
tions in November the President and
Congress authorize the recreation of
the foreign debt funding commission
to re-examine the debt funding agree
mentS and revise them in accordance
with the changed capacity of each
debtor nation to ray.
Saying the allies cannot pay war
debts at their present figure. Williams
called attention to the decline in whole
sale commodity prices by more than a
third since the debts we're funded.
AS payments can be made ultimately
only in goods and services, he said, our
debtors must now sell half as much
again in commodities in order to pay
the annual debt charges at time when
international trade has declined to 60
per cent Of its 1929 volume
Tax Problem Cited.
Other difficulties in the way Of pay
ment, Williams said, are the difficulty
debtor governments encounter in rais-
ing money from their own citizens
through taxes and loss of reparations
payments which formerly were more
than sufficient to pay war debt INSTALL
mentS
Prof. T E. Gregory of the London
School of Economics argued that Amer
ica's choice between war debt reduc-
tion and insistence on full payments
was actually a choice between an or
derly and disorderly world.

HOUSE CLERK PLANS.
PUBLICITY 0NLOANS.
TrimbIe Holds He Is Required
to Make Data Public De-
spite Hoover View.

Speaker Garner has won his fight
for publicity of loans by the $780,
100000 Reconstruction Corporation
since July 81.
The clerk of the House. South Trim
bic, is ready to overrule President Hoo
yer and make public the details OF
loans, the first report on which is due
to be submitted to Congress this week.
Trimble has written an eight-page
brief giving his reasons for interpret
ing the relief law as making publicity
mandatory.
Trimble feels, as do Speaker Garner
and Representative Rainey. Demo
cratic leader, that he has no choice
He disagrees that further congressional
action is necessary.
Monthly Reports Ordered.
The publicity provision got the re-
lief bill into a snarl that threatened
to prevent adjournment. At the in
sistence of Garner and Rainey, the
measure included instructions tha'
monthly reports of loans should bt
transmitted to the clerk of the HousC
and the secretary of the Senate.
President Hoover summoned leader!
of both parties to the White House t
ask that the publicity phase be omitted
A statement from the Executive Man
sion explained the President favored
fullest publicity to all Government
activities" but that the then director:
of the relief corporation advised tn;
President of the danger that would re-
suit to the credit structure if this pub
licity proviso) were insisted upon"
The responsibility in the last analy
sis for whatever might happen mus
necessarily rest upon Congress" tn
statement said.
Garner renewed his fight for the pro
vision. Rainey said it must be In
cluded or there will be no relief bill
The completed law contained tn
phraseology, in outline at least, de
manded by Garner.
Reports Held Confidential.
President Hoover then said in state
ment announcing he would sign the bill
that "the obnoxious features which ha;
been injected into the legislation iron
time to time by members of the Hous
of Representatives and had SO lonl
DELAYED action, have been eliminated.
Of one of these obnoxious features,
he added:
"The possible destructive effect upol
credit institutions by the so-calle'
publicity clause has been neutralize
by the declaration of Senate leaders o
all parties that this provision is no
to be retroactive and that the require
monthly reports of future transaction
are of confidential nature and must b
so held by the clerks of the Senate an
House of Representatives unless other
wise ordered by the Congress when Il
session"
Trimble's brief recalls that many re
ports submitted to him are made public
such as those of campaign expenditures
that the House last session directe
that its paw rolls should be oDen. ]
comedies that the publicity clause
not retroactive, but that any interpre
tation of the language in view OF tn
intent of Congress is that the loan
must be made public.
Unless the House clerk changes nj
mind or something else prevents. tn
public soon will have peek at loan
by the Government to banks, railroad'
insurance companies and other interest
since July 81.
