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

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.

COLON'El.. GEORGE HARVEY AND MRS. HARVEY.
Iatest news Is that Ambassador Harvey has been summoned home to'confer with the" president and his
cabinet regarding the general European situation, while Mrs. Harvey, who has been 111 with throat trouble,
will go to Madeira for the change of climates '
would be discussed at the resump
tion of the premiere' conference
here on January 2. 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."

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. .
