II O.K.ofDebt Plan Asked by Harding! Terms llic British Refunding Agreement “Recommitment of English-Speaking World to Validity of Contract.” Urges Action on Ship Bill — Washington. Fob. 7.—Congressional j approval of the war debt funding i agreement negotiated with Great | Britain was requested by President Harding today as a "recommitment i of the English-speaking world to the ' validity of contract." Coupled with this approval, the president added in an address at • joint session of the senate and house, • ongTess should enact into law,- the administration ship bill because, "it i- as important to avoid losses as it :> to secure funds on debts." Ample lime for action on both of these measures, it was declared by ^tr. Harding, remains before the pres, j "lit congress goes out of existence on I .March 4, and either, he said, was fit I o be recorded as a chapter of great achievement. No Specific Recommendation. The president made no specific recommendation as to the form the action of congress on the British | _.___ Washington, Feb. T.—Imme diately after President Harding had addressed congress today a bill to amend the debt law to provide for aecenptance of the British settlement and for settle ments with other debtor nations on similar terms was introduced by Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, a member of the debt commission. Senator SmOot said the house probably would act first on the legislation and that it would be brought before the senate imme diately after the house passes the bill, and ahead of the shipping will. Senator Smoot's bill was re ferred to the finance committee, which is to meet Friday. A similar bill was introduced in the house and was referred to the ways and means committee. debt should take, leaving it to the leaders in congress to decide what method should be adopted to amend the present law so ns to permit con summation of the agreement recently reached by the American and British debt commissions, “It was manifest from the begin ho said, "that Great Britain corfft not undertake any program of payment which would conform to the limitations of time and lntereat rates which the commission had been au- | thorized to grant. But here was a j great nation acknowledging its ohllga-: tion and seeking terms In which it might repay, “So your commission proceeded to j negotiate in a businesslike way for a fair and just settlement. Your com- ' mission went so fsr as it believed the I American sense of fair play would justify. "It means lastly more than the ni'ie funding and the ultimate dis charge nt the largest International loan ever contracted. It is a recom rnltment of the English-speaking j world to the validity of Contracts; it j is effect a plight against war and far expenditures, and a rigid adherence j to that production and retrenchment ; which enhances stability precisely as it “discharges obligations.” Alluding indirectly to proposals to I attach to the congrpsslonnl act of an proial a soldiers' bonus bill, the president reminded congress that the war time authorization for the loans contained in Itself a stipulation that when the money was paid back it should be applied to the retirement of Liberty bonds and other government issues. As a part of his statement on the debt negotiations the executive read a report from the American commis sion. headed by Secretary Mellon, do-i scribing the settlement as “fair and ! just to both governments ’ and pre- ! dieting that It would "make a most I important contribution to interna tional stability.” Mr. Harding's appeal for action on ship bill was prompted, ho said, \ by suggestions that its opponents were ; seeking to prevent a roll call on it i before the end of the session. "Mere avoidance by prolonged d» bate,” he declared, "Is a mark of im-1 potence on a vitally important public question. I plead for a decision. If there is a favorable majority the bill should be enacted. If a majority is opposed, defeat will be decisive. Then, j if congress falls in providing the re- 1 quested slternative measure, the executive branch of the government may proceed as best it can to end ! the losses In liquidation and humllia | ’.Ion.” Report »f Commission. President Harding said In pari: You have been asked to assemble In joint session in order that I may submit to you the report of the world war foreign debt commission, cover ing its accepted proposal for the fund lng of the debt due to the United States from the government of Great Britain. This report concluded on February 3, 1923, reads as follows: The president.

He had furnished them, be, said, with classifications received ! from the War department detailing I dependencies among the soldiers, to enable them to help those not already 1 provided for in government plans who were totally or partially de pendent. ‘‘A number of the men,” he said, "will need hospital care for some ill- j ness or other. Practically all of them who are to be discharged will be without any prospects whatever of getting Jobs and we are going to make it our business to see that they land something in whatever part of the country they want to go. A large percentage of the men to be discharged will need transportation assistance. Some will have enough money to get from the port of de barkation to their home town them selves. but will not have enough to pay the fare of their wives.” Storm Grips N.
