Washington.— D ifferen c e s of view over the foreign debt funding bill and the soldier bonus bill developed a.’: the conference of Republican Senators. At the same time the conference voted to put both hillij on the program for early passage. Differences were chiefly over details of the funding bill and as to how to raise money to meet the Lonus bill. Senator Wadsworth, of New York, flatly opposed the bonus bill’s enact ment. Senators Phipps, of Colorado, and Pepper, of Pensylvania, also voted against it. Senators Calder and W ar ren, with one or two others, withheld final expression on the bill. Senator Borah seived notice be would oppose the foreign debt funding bill unless it contained a provision for semi-annual or annual payment of in terest. The provision for semi-annual payments was at first put into the bill by the Finance Committee and then eliminated at the i. stance of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Senator Borah also declared against the soldier bonus bill, which he has all along opposed, holding that it is based on a wrong principle. The conference voted unanimously to pass the funding b'll. However, Sen ator Borah had left the conference when the vote wa-s taken on this and on the bonus bill. Senatcr La Follette did not attend. He is als > expected to urge semi-annual or annual interest payments, and in this Senator Borah will have the support of several Re publicans, as well as most Democrats. It was decided by the conference to meet again to thresh out details Loth of the funding bill and the bonus bill. The conference did not favor linking the two bills, but it I t expected the Democrats will attempt to add the bonus bill to the funding bill as an amendment. The indications are the funding bill will pass substantially as the Finance Committee leaders want it. Senator Lodge presided over the con ference and insisted that it dispooe of the question Tvhether it would indorse the passage of the funding bill and the bonus bill separately. After that de tails could be taken up. Senator Lodge also prevented the conference from taking up other measures until such time as an agreement could be worked out as t j debt fund’ng and bomio. With respect to the bonus bill, one Senator who attended the conference said there was special enthusiasm for it among the Senators who are seek ing re-election this year. They do not want to go into the campaign with the bonus question hanging fire. Some discussion arose as to the means to meet the bonus payments. Much sentiment developed for utiliza tion of the foreign debt, especially the British debt. Senators Lodge and Watson, of Indiana, both expressed themselves as favorable to meeting the bonus in this wmy, but pointed out the President opposed it and w^ould n o t consent to it unless some way were found of raising money by taxation to b r id g e o v e r th e p e r io d u n t i l th i s c o u n tr y can begin to re a l iz e on th e B r i ti s h d e b t a n d p e r h a p s o th e r s . In the discu s s io n o f u s e o f the fo r eign debt or the British debt to meet the bonus. Senator Borah insisted the foreign debts to this country would not be paid. “Nobody in Europe expects to pay these debts,” said Senator Borah. “We have been assured by the Chancellor of the British Exchequer that the British debt will be paid,” said Senator Lodge. “But does the Senator from Massa chusetts believe it?” asked Senator Borah. “Certainly,” said Senator Lodge. It is expected that a series of con ferences will be necessary to settle on details of the debt funding bill and the bonus bill.

Washington.—Warning of an im- pendinm general strike in the coun try’s coal industry was given by Sec retary Hoover, who declared that the lHuhiic should know what to expect when the national agreements cover ing the wages and working conditions oi miners expire April 1. “The stage,” said, “appears to be set for a strike in the bituminous coal regions abput the last of March.” Edgar A.

HUGHES SURPRISES ARMS DELEGATES Presents Without Warning Pro* posal Embodying Full Open- Door Policy in China. Washington.—An American proposal to redefine the open-door policy in China and create an international board to examine both existing and future concessions which appear to conflict with it, was debated without decision by the Far Eastern Commit tee of the Washington Conference.

In brief, the A m e rican resolution would bind the United States. Great Britain, Japan, France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and The Netherlands not to seek special spheres of influence in China nor secure concessions or mo nopolies which would^ abridge the principle of equal economic and com mercial oportunity.

V Except for another inconclusive ses-^ sion of the Shantung negotiators and informal exchanges among the “Big Five” regarding the Pacific fortifica tions agreement, the meeting of the Far Eastern Committee constituted the total of conference activities dur ing the day. At the Shantung con versations the question of mines was discussed with no apparent progress and the fortifications problem remain ed unsolved, de.spite receipt by the Ja p a n e s e of p a r t i a l in s t r u c t i o n s from T o k y o .

' * FRANCE TO MAKE GERMANY PAY Chamber by Vote of 472 to 107 Pledges Confidence in Poin care Government. TERMS:—$1.50 PER \ Who Was Given Xarsest > Majority\ Vote in Virginia ISA ----------- ------------- - ----------------- A --------- - BIG OVATION FOR PREMIER Demand for Firm Treatment of Ger many Brings Forth. Enthusiastic Applause—Insists Upon Payment and Adherence to Treaty. Paris.—^The Chamber of Deputies gave Premier Poincare and his new Government a vote of confidence, 472 to 107. This action followed upon the Ministerial declaration presented by M. Poincare in the chamber, and by M. Barthou, Minister of Justice, in the Senate, and after a discussion of the interpellations submitted by Mar cel Caohin, the Socialist leader, and others. Premier Poincare took a firm stand on the foreign policy of France and de manded strict adherence to the terms of the peace treaties. The keynote of his declaration was the rigut of France to exact full reparations. “Germany was not only responsible for the war,” he declared, “but for the manner in which it was conducted. Until everything due us has been paid, we cannot afford generosity to the vanquished.” The Socialist and Communist press, which has been divided into three ses- tions, all with daggers drawn against each other, found unanimity since M. Poincare’s appointment in directly ac cusing him of responsibility for the war and the death of a million and a half Frenchmen. The Premier took notice of these accusations, saying: “I have been accused of being re sponsible for the war. The war broke out in spite of the French Govern- At this point great applause inter rupted him, momentarily. Then, point ing to M. Caohin, he continued; “I should execrate myself and never dare to appear before the Chamber were there a shadow of truth in that state ment. But, once war became inevit able, I had no other thought than vic tory.” Alluding to reparations, he said: “With the strictest economies and* the heaviest taxation we cannot live un less Germany pays us. Every ques tion of internal politics must be sub ordinate to our foreign policy. We have peace abroad; let us have peace at home. “I neither defend nor criticize the Versailles treaty, but I want its in tegral ex e c u tio n .” Discussing Germany’s ability to pay the Premier said : “Her corporations re turn enormous dividends, her factories are in full activity. In a word, her economic strength grows every day, and if the state itself is in ruins, the nation enriches itself. -It was in the name of the German nation that the Versailles treaty was accepted. “France, in defending her rights, de fends international accords, and .fol lows in no way the suggestion of sel fishness. France wishes to see Europe and the whole world recovered from the painful unrest from which they suffer, but geneial economic reorgani zation depends first upon the restora tion of the devastated regions. “The reparations problem is the key to all others, and i\ Germany fails to k e e p h e r en g a g e m e n ts it will be n e c e s sary to consider, after, seeking the ad- 6f tli6 Repar^tibhs’ Commission, what measures to adopt. The first will certainly be necessary guarantees for the establishment of efficient con trol over the budget, the emission of paper and exportf.Uon. “On th e o t h e r h a n d , so lo n g as o t h e r con d itio n s of th e V e r s a il le s tre a ty , such as disarmament and the punish ment of war criminals, are not fulfill ed, we will be compelled to keep in operation the penalties provided, and, if necessary, take others.” With reference to those guilty of war crimes, the Premier asserted he would establish that there was a con spiracy between the Imperial German High Staff and the great financial in stitutions to put the French mines, the spinning and weaving bills and the chemical factories beyond the possibil ity of operating.
