BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Feb. 28.-Authori-
tative quarters said today Germany
had offered to guarantee Rumania's S
borders in return for huge increases
in oil, wheat and other raw material
shipments to the Reich.
These sources said the plan was
submitted while the Rumanian
cabinet considered issuing a royal
decree for virtual civil mobilization
to accompany military mobilization
already undertaken in part.
Acceptance of the German plan,
It was said, would obl.ge Rumania
to abandon her plan for civil mobili-
zation and send at least 1000 600
OF her l 400, 900 men under arms back
to their Jobs In fields and factories.
The German plan also was said
to include promise to prevail upon
Hungary, Bulgaria and Soviet RUS
sia to abandon their territorial
claims on Rumania and Sign non-
aggression pacts with her.
Germany was reported ready to
sponsor a new railway agreement
between Rumania and Hungary to
make it easier to transport vital
supplies to the Reich.
Authoritative quarters said 1t was
extremely doubtful whether Ru-
mania would accept the plan be-
cause the price-a virtual Nazi mo-
nopoly of her exports-was consid-
cred far too high.
The proposed civil mobilization
order would give the government
control of all industry similar to
the plan already in operation in
Turkey.
The presence of allied and Turkish
armies in the Near East within
reach of Rumania's border was said
by diplomats to be making the Bal
kan country cautious about accept
ing German guarantees.
DR.. Karl Clodius, Germany's ace
economic expert, postponed visit to
Bucharest until next week. Observ-
ers said this was to give Rumania
time TO study the German plan.
The recent favorable trend of
French and British relations with
Rumania, wherein the allies re-
sumed shipping raw materials, war
planes and ornaments to Rumania,
was seen as another bar to the
German proposal.
Meanwhile, Rumania was sched-
uled to call an additional 20O,0 900
reservists to the colors March /,
swelling the army to 1000, ,000-
virtually general mobilization.

future loans to most South Ameri-
can countries out Of the proposed
new 10000, 900 lending fund of the
Export-Import Bank, $40 900 900 of
which could be advanced to Finland.
The major fight will come later
In the afternoon on efforts to make
the Finnish loan mandatory and
available for military supplies, In
stead of leaving it to the discretion
of the bank and for non military
purposes only.
Representative Kean, Republican,
Of New Jersey, sought to prevent
extension Of further credit to any
South American country which Is in
default on Bonds held by private
investors in the United States.
Mr.. Kean read list of dozen
South and Central American coun-
tries which, he said, are in default.
The House, however, rejected the
amendment, 135 to 86.
Patman Opposes Motion.
The bill already forbids loans If a
country has failed to pay its debt to
the United States Government, but
this does not cover unpaid private
debts.
Representative Patman, Democrat,
of Texas opposed the Kean motion,
contending the bill is designed to
stimulate American export, and
should not be made a weapon for
collection of private debts.
House leaders had hoped to pass
the bill yesterday, but when general
debate lasted until nearly o'clock,
1t became apparent a night session
would have been necessary to act
on amendments.
Meeting at II o'clock today, in
stead of noon, they felt confident
Of passing the bill late this aft
ernoon. Whether the Senate will
insist on q conference will depend
on the extent to which the bill
may be changed today.
Most of the speeches In opposi-
ton to the bill yesterday were di-
rected mainly at giving the bank
$100, 900 900, with discretion to lend
it to various nations, rather than
against non-military aid to the
Firms.
Fight for Cut Probable.
It is probable that the unsuccess-
full effort made in committee to cut
the total loan authorization to $50,-
600 900 will be renewed on the floor.
Near the close of general de-
bate yesterday Representative Allen,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, told the
House that the United States might
not have wor its independence and
become democracy except for the
aid the American colonists received
from France in 1776.
He predicted that If Russia and
Germany win in Europe, this coun-
try will have to increase by millions
its expenditures for national defense,
contending that liberty and free
dom cannot be murdered In any part
of the world without receiving q
setback elsewhere"
Representative Monroney, Demo-
crat, Of Oklahoma, supporting the
bill as it came from committee,
summed up the arguments Of the
opponents as follows:
Some of them say it won't help
Finland at. all, while others say 1t
will help Finland so much 1t viii
get US into war"

QUESTION CENSUS COUNT
SeafOrd Residents Say Population
Numbers at Least 3,400

Following the revelation that
Seaford taxables exceed by at
least 800 the figures given by the
recent census enumeration, persons
here are questioning the accuracy
of the government count About
May 18th, F. Allyn Cooch, director
of the State Census forces, issued
the announcement that Seaford Of
ficially had population of 2,768.
This figure indicated that exactly
800 more persons resided in Sea-
ford in 1910 than in 1880, and con-
siderable surprise was expressed at
the smallness of this figure in view
of the apparent large increase.
Ernest ]. Hardesty and Fred How
ard were commissioned by city Of
ficials to prepare the scrap assess
ment, and declare that their study
would indicate that Seaford's ac-
tual population is in excess of 3400
persons and may be around 5000
persons.
