B AW International Economic Dis cussion Held Vital. , AMENDMENT IS OFFERED German llepurations Is Declared Key to Solving Problems of '-. American Export Trade. "WASHINGTON. D. G. Dee. 21. Extensive discussion of interna tional affairs is expected to de velop in the senate aa a result of a proposal today by Senator Borah, republican. Idaho, for an interna tional conference to consider eco nomic financial and business prob lems, including German reparations, as well as reduction of land, sea and aerial armaments. Senator Borah offered his plan as an amendment to the 1330,000,000 naval appropriation bill, which was reported to the senate today for pre liminary consideration tomorrow. He proposed that the president be asked to call an international eco nomic and disarmament conference instead of a conference merely to deal with limitations of naval ves sels under 10,000 tons and military and naval aircraft, as provided in the bill as passed by the house. Immediate Action Required. In offering his amendment as a substitute for the house provision Senator Borah declared world eco nomic conditions required lmmedi-! ate action and he proposed that President Harding be authorized and requested "to invite such gov ernments to send representatives to the conference as he should deem necessary and expedient with the object of arriving at understandings or arrangements" looking to the restoration "of trade and establish ment of sound financial and busi ness conditions." With reference to armaments, the Borah amendment includes the house bill's provisions as to naval vessels under 10,000 tons and air craft with its provision for consid eration of land and sea armaments. Senate leaders do not expect the Borah proposal nor the house pro vision to be reached during tomor row's consideration of the bill. These and an amendment by Senator King, democrat, Utah, calling for a land and sea disarmament confer ence, which is pending, are expected to go over until after the Christmas holidays.' Borah's Move Surprising. Senator Borah's amendment caused general surprise, especially in view of his strong position in the past in reference to American participa tion in European problems. He was one of the strongest opponents of the league of nations and treaty of Versailles, but in. his statement to day he made it clear that he believed action was needed to solve pressing economic problems affecting Ameri can -trade. German reparations, he said, were the "Uey to the European situation" and be thought his pro posed conference might "break the deadlock on that subject. "We are traveling in a vicious circle," Senator Borah declared. "We enacted an emergency and also a permanent tariff bill. Neverthe less, the cry of distress from the producers of the country is even Jit t f. llta - 'V- i fm A -te :;:v Estranged bat Reunited fair Liv . ins Hotel; Plan Is to Make New Start. NEW YORK, Dec. 21. Professor and Mrs. John T. Tiernan of South Bend, Ind., and the boy upon whose head feli the brunt of their pater nity court battle against Harry Poulin, a South Bend haberdasher, were found Wednesday living in a hotel in Greenwich Village. With them were their two daugh ters. They were registered as "William A. Ross and family, De troit." - They have been in the city ten days. Professor Tiernan, with rela tives dn New York, came here for the announced purpose of making a new start. Mrs. Tiernan and the children have remained in seclusion, even taking their meals in their rooms. "There is nothing I can say," said Mrs. Tiernan when reporters called on her. "All my advice has been not to talk. There is really nothing that can be said." "What are your plans for the fu ture? "Nnthlng can be , said of them now." Her eyes, filled. "Do you and Professor Tiernan Intend to remain in New York?" "I believe so." "Are you planning to continue to Uve together? "Yes," she said, simply. ' Professor Tiernan had been granted a divorce, but this was an nulled after he married again soon after the decree was granted. 1 Professor Tiernan returned to the hotel soon afterward, but he was as silent as his wife. - , ; ' Photo Copyright by Underwood. , , COLON'El..

France has found a freer field in this respect than before, as she no longer met with a flat refusal of her allies to discuss the question. It was for this reason that she was no longer forced to await action by the United States for a solution. The feeling in Washington, re flected in dispatches published here, that France is unduly delaying ac tion On the Washinen treaties is declared to be unjustified in par liamentary circles, where it is said that the members of the foreign re lations committee are eager to get through with the question and the government is urging action as far as it can without seeming to bring undue pressure on the chamber of deputies. One of the principal causes of delay, said a member of the com mittee today, is that until a few days ago the committeemen had no records of the Washington delibera tions in French to guide them and few of the members understood English. They wanted the official French copies and they arrived onlj recently. GERMANS HOLD CONFERENCE V. S. Intervention Not Considered In Reparations Plans. BERLIN. Dec." 21. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The new reparations lih -uihlnh (Chancellor Cuno i more piteous than at any time since , his ,mmedute advisers are en. I ported as being more optimistic re garding the outlook for a substan tial internal gold loan because of the encouragement extended to him by the industrialists and financial circles, and while his new proposals are expected to reflect willingness to push Germany's capacity for pay ments to the limit, of her ability, he will look for concessions and ex emptions from certain reparations conditions which have been the sub ject of repeated official protests. Meanwhile the nation's internal economic situation may be said to have become worse not only with regard to the government's inability to curtail expenditures, balance budgets and check the floating debt, but also with respect to its currency inflation. "The output for the first half of December exceeds 216,000,000,000 marks, and as the closing weeks of the year invariably show the heaviest drains on the reichbank, it is estimated that the total currency circulation at the end of the year will be far in ex cess of 1,000,000,000,000 marks. On account of the complete collapse of the holiday business the situation in retail business is highly unfavorable. by the war. The farmer can find no markets abroad for his surplus prod ucts and without a market for his surplus products it is impossible for him to realise the value of that which he produces. Tonnage Lies Idle. "We now propose to enact a ship subsidy bill, but there are no car goes to carry and no markets to supply. If we should give our mil lions in the way of subsidies it would not open a single market nor supply a single cargo. These things are not produced by subsidies. There are millions of shipping ton nage lying idle now waiting to carry the cargoes which do not appear. Markets are opened and cargoes are produced by men going back to work and settling down to business, not by imposing more taxes in the way of subsidies. "We had a disarmament confer ence a year ago. We are now ad vised by a committee report of the other house that unless these agree ments heretofore made are extended competition in naval armaments will be on again in the direction . to which the Washington conference agreements do not extend. The committee further says that if it be allowed to go on unchecked this government must be constrained, to launch a. new programme to keep abreast of other powers. There could not be anything more destruc tive of all hope of recovery in eco iiomlo affairs than a reopening of a competitive race in armaments."

ACTI0jyS PLANNED (ContlnuM From First Page efforts to bring the combined weight of industrial influence in the allied countries, Germany and the United States to bear on the reparations stumbling block were made nearly six months ago. " In Germany, Great Britain, the United States and, France, a series of private conferences were held between Important figures in the International industrial world. The movement met with stiff opposition in France at that time but later when the council of premiers faced complete rupture in London this month, the effort was renewed with great hopes of success in finding a common ground for a final repara tions settlement.'. The proposal to create a commis sion of American industrial leader to measure Germany's economic capacity as It Is today eeems to have been the expression of a con- census of .opinion among the busi ness interests of all nations, that such a course would be wise, since the United States is not a partici pant in Germany' reparations pay ments. Mr. Barnes' statement makes the American business view point on that question entirely plain. FRANCS HELD INDEPENDENT Nation" Declared No longer Forced to Walt on America. PARIS, Dec. 21. (By the Asso dated Press.) "France is no longer forced to await upon America for a solution of the inter-allied European debts, which are closely bound up with the question of repa rations," Premier! Poincare told the senate today in a restatement of the country's position. The Inter-allied debts, he said, f gramme for presentation to the pre- sanguine speculations based on the present unofficial and Informal pourparlers." For this reason also it may be supposed, the British gov ernment Is disinclined to make any open pronouncement on the subject, at least until the new move has at tained a more definite form, but It is known that the British, like other European governments, wouldi be only too ready to welcome the slightest sign of the American gov ernment or people taking an active interest In the problem. Here as always, it i's recognized that the real key to the problem lies in Paris. It is understood that the conversations between the Brit ish and French governments are continuing in an endeavor to find some ground of agreement for the adjourned conference of the pre miers to be held in Paris January 2. Premier poincare's speech In the French senate today seems to show but little change in France's attitude but the general belief in London is miers at the Paris conference will boldly suggest that a permanent solution of the reparations problem should be arrived at and that a fixed, definite sum should be named as indicating Germany's final in debtedness. In their determination to achieve definite and final adjustment of Germany's reparations debts, Chan-' cellor Cuno and his ministers are encouraged by the attitude of the industrial and financial- leaders, who in a measure have made this a condition- of their collaboration and by the sentiment in other quar ters in favor of -such procedure. They intend, if possible, to get away from the "adjustment" and "re spite" stage. Before this is accomplished no co-ordinated system of financial re form or international remedial measures can be carried out, in the opinion of the ministers. "We as a nation cannot se& day light ahead until some definite goal is set for us," said one member of the cabinet, and he added that lim ited moratoriums and the. "breath ing spaces" granted to Germany have invariably had disastrous ef fects on her currency and her ef forts to adjust her budgets. .
