The Omaha Morning Bee t ft VOL. 62 NO. 41. Proposal to Cancel Debt Draws Fire Borah Declares Renunciation jt of War Obligations Must Be Preceded ly Euro, pean Disarmament. Note Aimed at America Washington. Aug. 3. (By A. T.) -Great Britain' suggestion for can crllation of war debts drew a sharp attack from Senator Horah of Idaho, republican, member of the senate foreign relation committee and leader .of the senate "irreconcilable" wing, who issued a statement declar ing emphatically that any debt re- nunciation would have to be preceded by European disarmament. Senator Horah said the Balfour note to the allied nations, which has been con strued in some quarters as contain ing such a suggestion, realty was in tended for the United States. The American people "could never be greatly interested in any propo sition for the cancellation of any part cf the debt to the United States un- . less the proposition is accompanied by a definite and specific plan sup ported by certain guarantees for practical disarmament, both by land and sea," Senator Borah asserted, adding that the disarmament pro gram of the Wasington arms confer ence had been "halted and crushed." Disarmament Not Mentioned. "Assuming, for the purpose of this statement," he said, "that there will come a time when the United States will consider the proposition of cancelling a part or all of the for- eign debt, I take it that that time will never come during the program as is k now luvuturu. i iicrc is une iiiiiiK in all this discussion trom aoroaa relative to cancelling the foreign debt which is never mentioned, and ; ,', that is thi subiect of disarmament. L. & "Thr ic nnthincr in he aained hv I Ji - o o J our cancelling this debt, or any part . :. :t u : ...... t VI ii, II tut: iauui. iiiiiuaijr auu armament programs in Europe are to continue. It would amount in practical effect to our aiding and abetting the building up of these great military and armament estab lishments, and thereby abetting war. If cancellation is to be considered at all, it ihould be considered in the in terest of humanity, of economic sanity. vW Quote Lloyd George. "Within the last 'week,., the pre mier cf England has declared: " 'Keep your eye on what is happen ing. They (the nations of Europe) are constructing more terrible ma chines than even the late war ever saw. What for? Not for peace. They are not even to disperse armies, they are to attack cities un armed where you" have defenseless population.' ' x "The Washington conference ad journed last February. The senate of the United States ratified the treaties, I think, in April. The treat ics are yet, however, to be considered by foreign countries. I observe by the press dispatch that the assembly in France has adjourned and that . these treaties will not even be con 1 sidered before October. They were not so much as considered by the committee, according to the same dispatch. Spirit of Move Crushed. "Knd even if they are ratified ulti mately, the spirit of the movement has been crushed and the great cause of disarmament halted and scotched by the delay and utter loss of interest in the proposition. In the meantime, every effort is being made in this country in certain quarters to revive the war soirit. People who have great interest in disarmament and peace are j.nnnH hv those in authority. "Any scheme fori the cancellation of debts which does not disclose be yond question that it will result in re ducing the land and sea forces is not in the interest of peace but in the in terest of war, and not in the interest of humanity, but in the interest of - ' murder.

France May Cut Rhineland from Germany for Debt Action Considered as Part of Scheme of Penalties Would Set Up Local Parliament, Oust Prussians. . Faris, Aug. 3. Separation of the Rhincland from Germany, with its own parliament and government and a separate iinaiicial regime super visd by the allies, is a part of the scheme of penalties presented to Pre mier Poincare. as represntative of the opinion of the French parliament and which he is known to have taken under consideration. The scheme which would be put into effect upon the definite refusal of the German government to fulfill the agreement for payment of private debts owing to French citizens by Germans since before the war, also involves the expulsion of all the Prussian functionaries from the Rhineland, the officials to be re placed by natives. Other provisions include an ex tension in the power of the allied Rhineland commission and measures of economic pressure upon the prin cipal German industries amenable to the action Tf the commission such as the analine dye industry, the iron industries of Hugo Slinnes, August Thissen, the Krupps and Franz Haniel and others which are more or less dependent upon the occupying forces for the freedom of transit of raw materials in the region of Dus seldorff, Duesiburg and Ruhrort.

British Do Not Ask U.S. to Wipe Out War Debt London, Aug. 3. (By A. P.) Prime Minister Lloyd George, after having devoted considerable atten tion to the American criticisms of the earl of Balfour's note on the war debts question, is understood to have concluded that there has been a serious misunderstanding of its purport. It is stated that the impression, which apparently is widespread in America, that the British govern ment through this note indicated a desire that America should cancel the British debt, is entirely wrong, and Mr. Lloyd George is expected to make his position clear in his speech in the house of commons this afternoon.

Would Limit Speeches Wa.hington, Aug. 3. (By A. IM Upsetting plan of republican and democratic leaders for s final vote on the administration tariff bill on Aug ust 17, Senator Lenroot, republican, Wisconsin, gave notice in the senate that there would be no unanimous consent agreement for a final vote at least until all important committee amendments to the measure had been discussed and acted upon. The Wisconsin senator said he was anxious to limit debate and proposed an arrangement under which discus sion would have been confined exclu sively to the tariff with each senator limited to 10 minutes talk on amend ments on the bill after August 11. Senator Lodge, republican leader, ob jected to this, however, and the ef fort to come to an understanding in the open senate ended. Subsequently private negotiations looking to at least a curtailment of discussion were reopened and some republicans were of the opinion that these might lead to results. Certain democratic senators, however, were reported as objecting to limitation of debate until after votes on the sec tions dealing with duties on sugar and hides. Introduces Resolution. Senator Gooding. Idaho, chairman of the republican-agricultural-tariff bloc, introduced his resolution direct ing a special committee of five sena tors to inquire into and report to the senate on: The financial interests of senators in the wool and sheep industries. The financial interests of Frank A. Munsey in European industries which compete with American in dustries; the amount and percentage of his income derived from adver tisements placed in his . newspapers by the importing department stores which have financed a campaign of defamation against the 'pending tar iff bill and which will profit by the defeat of the bills. The number of senators owning or controlling or financially interested in newspapers, the amount of rev enue obtained by these newspapers from ' department stores, which will benefit financially by the defeat of the pending tariff bill. Probe Financial Interests. The financial interests of all mem bers of the senate or their immedi-. ate relatives in any American indus try or any property in any com munity in the United States "which may be affected directly or indi rectly, either by the passage or de feat of any proposed schedule in the pending tariff bill. The preamble of the resolution re cited that charges had been made by the New York Herald, owned by Mr. Munsey, "that members of the senate engaged in the sheep industry had thereby been financially inter ested in the wool schedule of the tariff bill." Objection by Senator Lenroot to the fixing of a date for a final vote was made after Senator Simmons for the minority had agreed to accept the republican substitute date of August 17. Mr. Lenroot explained that while he was anxious to see an end to the consideration of the tariff bill, he could not consent to any arrange ment under which important amend ments might be acted upon without any discussion. Chemical wood pulp was restored to the list by the senate, which re jected, 30 to 22, an amendment pro posed by the finance committee ma jority to make it dutiable at S per cent ad ' valorem.
