I: i. i I I m 44 r. concrete proposal on Russia at to-- - I l4iiorrov'n meeting. Thin was the definite olTlcal announcement of tho communlipie Issued after the loiniell had 0'eeti considering the Hupslnn iltuntloii lonllnuously for the last two days. It can be milled that while thin con-rrel- o propositi was not flnnlly decided and reduced to writing, yet Its main Uatures were agteed on In principle. The fhembors came fioin the session, however, feeling that thcro was no n remedy Insuring u certain cure 'for tho dlnicult and dangerous situation and Uiat It would hii desirable to em- body 'iievcrnl lines of action In the pro- - posal. ' The first effect of this proposal will be that neither Kerglus Hnionoff. the Bus-Ma- n Minister of Foreign Affairs before \.he revolution, nor any Soviet agents will corao to Paris an exponents of Rus- sian affairs, but that somo form of In- quiry or Investigation of political condi- tions In Itussla will be made without conaldtrlng the premMico In Paris of the lidhcrents of either side of the question ut Issue. This determination Is largely the re- sult of n strong sentiment In soma quar- ters against having any direct dealings with tho Bolshevik). Ilmlasnry I'lnn llcjrctnt. Karly Indications were that Premier Lloyd George's proposal to it Plchon, ' the French Foreign Minister, would ' ngnln lake form In having Soviet agents iwmo here, nnd three niunes of prominent were mentioned us possible emls-i'- s les. llut this Is now said to bo de- finitely superseded by a plan of Inquiry or investigation without Involving ths jircienco of Soviet agents. The Danish Minister to Russia, ltar-nl- il Rcsvenlns. made . statement beforo 'the executive session of the Council to- - 'lay on conditions In Ilussla, which also had a strong Influence in determining that Soviet representatives should not t ome to Paris. He was tho last of the .Jnlnlstcrs to leave Petrograd, and to- -' i!ny he emphasized tho futility of trying to conduct any Intercourse with the So- viet leaders. He re.ul an article written by one of tho Soviet chiefs declaring that Premier J.loyd George and President Wilson were tno conservative and reactionary fur the (Jolets to deal with. He also gave ex-u- rt data on the Bolshevik forces, show- ing that they did not exceed 90,000 nrmed men, the remainder being with- out arms or ammunition, clothing or fihoes. He declared alio that the Ited Army was largely recruited from the ifamlshod peasants, who took this means Jo obtain food and tho pay the Soviets fceemcd able to give them. I Th official statement Issued by the Jouncll at tho close of the day's sessions follows : Tho President of tho United States, tho Prime Ministers and Foreign Min- isters of the Allied Powers, assisted by tho Japaneso representatives, met ' y at the Quay rt'Orsay from 10:30 A. M. to 12:45 P. M. In the morning and In tho afternoon from S : to 5. In the morning M. Scavenlus, Dan-- I Ish Minister to Russia, gave all the Information at his disposal on tho va- - rlous parties In Russia. In the afternoon the discussion of this question was continued. Very great progress toward nn agreement was made and It Is hoped to formu- late a concrete proposal on this sub- - Jert The question of the procedure of the conference was then I discussed. The next meeting will take place i at 11 o'clock morning. At the c!o.a of the morning, session 3 'resident 'Wilson and Premier Lloyd leorge hnd an earnest discussion of ten minutes duration In an antechamber. Polish Q notion to Come Up. , The Polish question will come up at session ai well aa the mat- ter of Russia. It is understood In this connection that President Wilson has re- ceived information concerning the spread of tho Bolshevik movement in Poland, where the Bolshevik army Is r.earlrg Warsaw. It Is expected that proposals jvlll be renewed for the allied armies to help the Polish army with war material, hut this has not yet been decided. The official communique also iinnounces that the question of procedure. f the conference was again discussed. Jho nature of this discussion was In ilete nn'nlng the apolntment of two com-- 1 inltteos, the first to deal with reparation i Jw the damages of the war, the necond to deal with tho subject of the society p: nations. Another full session of the Peace Con fereneo will probably bo held next FrI cay or Saturday for the purpose of the firesentitlon of a memorial on the league of nations by President Wilson. The and French memorials on the icague or nations win prouauiy be pre-- 1 tented at the same time, and the Tnittee propoed to-d- will then work out the details while the full conference , may enunciate some general expression . of principle on the plan.

The noralnlons. it is said, now will ntk fur fur'mal recognition. The announcement of tho aspirations of tho British Dominions Is being dis- cussed with the keenebt Interest In of- ficial circles in Paris.

On the practical statistical side of tho argument it was pointed out by Senator .

To take from our store and feed the world's hungry, to allovlate distress and want, to succor those who are suffering1 and generally to bo the Good Samaritan to all on earth appealed to every Instinct of charity and benevolence. But as the deDaie pro- - eld nnd explanations which did not frlaln were oered by those supporting measure, and nnall' when wo were told, as we were jesterday, with the Eamo old warnings with w'hlch we have become familiar during the war. that we must pass this bill bocauto It was de- manded and dire not do otherwise, It reemed to me that tho position originally presented was somewhat anomalous. \It seems as If now after the war the pnmA n!rt nnsh l.nttnn methods of ledslft- - tlrtn with th nbl rubber htamn ' ( approval of Congress were to be Invoked Just as they were during tho tlmo of stress and crisis.\ fenator Johnson recalled a state ment made jesterday by Chairman Gorn (Okla.) of tho Committee on Ag-lcu- l- ture that a packer appearlrw as a wit ness before that committee had sala that Mr. Hoover hnd agreed with the pnekers to help dispose of their surplus stocks In Eunvo, and that the JlOn,-00O.0- appropriation was to be applied to thl purpose.

Harriman National Bank Untying the Knot. To hasten the return to normal trade conditions at home and relations abroad we must promptly work our way out of the financial tangle we arc in. Consider Europe's debt to the United States. It is in the form of promissory notes, not collateralled, nor in any way protected, but resembling, except that they bear no definite maturities, the notes discounted by banks for customers in good standing. Why should not these obligations, with maturities fixed and method of redemption agreed upon, be re issued in the form of acceptances, and marketed ex actly as any trade acceptance at the rate of interest of the original debt, five per cent.? Needless to say, they would sell readily, and, moreover, they would be dis- posed of in a free market. There would be no necessity of proportioning them among the banks, but rather would they be distributed by the law of supply nnd demand. The immediate result would be to free the credit now restricted, and so sorely needed by the business community. The wheels of trade would begin to turn, and part of the problem of of our re- turning forces would be solved. Moreover, such dis position of the obligations would afford a basis for the education of the American public in the purchase of foreign securities. Above all, this suggested arrangement would obviate the necessity for another Liberty Bond issue with its accompanying complement of taxes. The Government in presenting a new loan will be like a merchant with a strong-bo- x full of prime five per cent, securities with a ready market, going to his bank in a crisis to borrow when he could sell without sacrifice BANKING HOURS FROM I O'CLOCK A.
