Bonar Law Issues
Call for Help to
United States
British Premier Wants Co
Operation of America in Set
tling Reparations—Would
Cancel Interallied Debts.
London, Pec. 15.—(By A. F>—
Premier Bonar Law, In an Important
statement In the house of commons
yesterday, declared frankly for the
policy of the Balfour note, which ad
located adjustment t f interallied debts
fc'all-around cancellation. England on
Us part surrendering its share of
r< natations to he paid by Germany.
Thus the ptlnie minister indicated
Qiat the new government, despite *ts
first declaration that the Balfour
note no longer existed so far as the
present British government was con
cerned and that It would not con
sider itself bound by it, feels im
pelled to the same policy as the
previous government.
The remainder of Bonar Law's
speech was clearly addressed to both
France and the United States—to
France, a plea for moderation In
dealing with Germany on the ground
that that country Is already on the
verge of collapse; to America, a call
for help and co-operstlon In settling
the difficult problems of reparations
and interallied debts.
Ilraws Bark Fleture.
Another important phase of his ,
speech was the dark picture drawn
of England's economic and Industrial
future, should the tjimh hoped for
Improvement in trade not materialize. -
The prime minister showed the ut
most anxiety that there should be
no misunderstanding of British feel
ings toward both France- and the
United States and said that it was
only Epgland's difficult position he 1
was making clear. England was
burdened with \rry henv fixation,
which was a clog on industrial enter
prise, resulting in terrible unemploy
ment—a problem that made it neces
sary. first that there should he no
military occupation of German tenl
lory, which would still further hand!
cap Europe without producing results
in cash; and, second, compelled him
frankly to face the fact that England
was unable to pay the American debt
if it received nothing from Europe. I
In the subsequent debate the most j
noteworthy speech was made by
James MacDonald, the labor leader
Air. Lloyd George also spoke, but
confined himself to a brief expres- '

sion of complete approval of Mr. Co
llar Law's speech.
Mr. MacDonald, on th» contrary,
gave a complete elucidation of the
policy cf the labor party. He main
tained that the United States Held
the key and was the only country
able to give Great Britain any help
He differed from the premier, how
ever. in believing that it wns inad
visable to mix together too much the
questions of reparations and inter
allied debts. He admitted that Ger
many possessed enormous industrial
possibilities, yet it must be carefully
handled, or it would follow Austria
into bankruptcy. He feared that
both France and England would need
to lower their expectations from
Germany very substantially.
Statement Borne Out.
Washington, Dec. 13.—(By A. 1* i—
Information reaching the American
government through trade channels,
it was said, tends to bear out the
statement of Premier 1 Linar Law
that an economic collapse In threaten
ing Germany. In fact, it was declar
ed, Germany appears to be approach
ing the point where it will be unable
to import food in sufficient quantities
to feed the people.
So far as the allied debt was con
cerned, officials maintained silence.
Tim position of the United States,
however, has been repeatedly stated
-i one holding the debt question to
be distinct from reparations.

Suits tiled in the district court by '
the stockholders of the Nye-SchneiA- i
erFoi '‘rain company against |
Frank Vow. of Fremont, former ;
president of the company, threatened
to make public various inside trans- i
actions involving tl\e handling of the !
company's assets by Fowler prior to
the company's financial embarrass
ment a year ago. The stockholders j
of the company have obtained from .
District Judge Fitzgerald a temper*
ary restraining order enjoining Fow- ;
let* from disposing of $75,000 worth |
of stock in the Omaha Printing com-|
pany, which they allege rightfully i
belongs to them.
They allege that the company ac
quired this stock in payment of 1
claims which it held against Ray ]
Nye, former head of the Nye-Schneld- !
er Fowler company, and also former j
president of the Omaha Printing com- '
pany. They claim that Mr. Fowler,
while president of the Nye-Sebnelder
Fowler company, sold to that com
pany a part of his own holdings of
this stock and took In exchange stock
In the Omaha Printing company. ;
This, it is alleged, was at a time
when Fowler knew the Nye-Schneld
er Fowler stock was greatly depre
ciated in value, while the Omaha ,
Printing company stock was worth ,
more than par.
Fraud Is Claimed.
The plaintiffs claim that this trans- !
action constituted a fraud upon 1
them as stockholders of the Nye
Schneider-Fowler company. A few
months later the Nye-Schneider-Fow
lor company was forced, in order to
avoid bankruptcy, to turn over con
trol of its stock to Julius Barnes, op
erating as the Nye-Sehneider-Jenks
company. The injunction is prelim
inary to efforts by the stockholders
to secure restitution of the amount
claimed.
ft. tt. Sidner of Fremont, attorney
for Mr. Fowler, said last night that
the suit Is entirely without founda
tion.
Attorney Explains.
"I was both attorney for the Nye
Schneider-Fowler company and pres
ident of the First National bank of
Fremont at this time, said Sidner. 1
"Tim Oinalia Printing company stock
was owned by Mr. Nve and was taken
l.y Mr. Fowler when Mr. Fowler made
good certain obligations due from Mr.
Xye to the First National bank. The
Omaha Printing company stock was
never the property of the Xye Schnel
der-Fowler company and cannot in
any way be considered an asset of
that company.”
The Nye-SclmeiJerFowKcom
pany has several hundred stockhold
ers in Nebraska Rnd its affairs have
been the subject of much concern to
ill. m tot the list two years. The
suit just filed is said to be one of
several which are threatened.
