There la an increasing poaaiblllty that
President Harding wUl call' an Inter
national economic conference at tha
II rat available opportunity. Thla poa
aiblllty was enhanced today when, it
became known that plans for. such a
conference wera practically completed
even before the calling of tha Oenoa
conference. , . a t
Early- In December of last: year, it
Is stated on high .authority, Presi

The attitude of France.-tpwards
auch a conference, M. .Vlvlonl is-understood:
to hava told -the president,
would ba1 decidedly favorable.- , . ' '
Beforf the negotiotiona had ' prog-
ressed further than a few informal
Inquiries; however, tha Oenoa con
ference waa called at tha Inatigatlon
of Tremler Lloyd George of England
and tha agenda for that conference
proved to ba of auch a nature that
tha United Stutea government did not
aea fit to accept the Invitation.
Just as the .conference at Genoa
and at tha Hague are believed by
officiate hero to have accomplished
aomethlng in clearing tha way fur a
final financial conference which' wilt
ba able to handle the whole -financial
problem of Europe In a definite and
practicable manner, ao it ia believed
tha conference to convene toon at
Brussels will do much to clarify tha
atmosphere and open tha way -for
tha Vnlted States to call a comprt
hemlvt International conference). : ' '
It la rewarded aa certain, however,
that president Harding would not con
sider calling' auch a conference until
after- the forthcoming elections, and
It ia extremely doubtful if he. would
look favorably upon any reacrvationa
by any of the participating powers
concerning the separation .of repara
tions frotn International debts, such

BUSINESS COUPE
With this coupe DodgejBrothers have
proved once for all that a closed car can
be as sturdy and-practically as inexpensive
as an open roadster.
This is largely due to the all-steel body
the first ever, marketed which admits of
lower cost, of manufacture through stand
ardized machine production. Unlike wood, '
the steel surface will take a finish of enamel, '
baked on at high temperature. This process
results in a permanent lustre, and eliminates
the trouble and expense of repainting.
Jhe wide straight 'setYs'uph'oisteredm "
tenuine ariish ! blfie leather,' durable, and
readily cleaned.
