MAKES PERSONAL APPEAL FOR PLAN Also Says Ship Bill Should Be Approved and Enacted During the Present Ses sion of Congress. illy thr Anarlafr rim.i Washington, Feb. 7. Congressional approval of the war debt funding agreement negotiated with Oreat Hrilain was r'lfoesM by President Harding today as a rei-oiiinilttmont of the Rag sh speaking world to ihe validity of contracts." Coupled with this approval, the President added, an address at a joint session of the Senate and House t on gross should enact in:o law th? admin istration ship bill' because "it is as im portant to avoid losses as It is to secure funds on debts." Ample time f.ir action on both of 'these measures, it was declared by Mr Harding, remains b:fore thf present 'Congress goes out of existence on March 4 and either, he said, was nt to be regarded as a achievement. chapter of great Th& President made no specific re commendation as to the form the ac tion of Congress on the British debt should take, leaving it to Ihe lenders in Congress to decide what' method should be adopUd to amend the pre sent law, so as to permit consumma tion of -the agreement recently reach ed by the American and British debt commissions. "It was manifest from the begin ning." he said -'that Great Britain could not undertake any pr gram of payment which would conform to the limitations of time and "ntereat rates which the commission hud been au thorized to granl. But here was a great nation acknowledging its obli gations and seeking terms in which it might repay. "So your commission proceeded to negotiate in a business way for a (ahr ami just settlement, lour com mission wehf So fa 8t tWW! the' American sense of fair play would justify. "It means vastly more than the mere funding and the ultimate discharge ol the largest intermit iniial loan ever contracted. It is a re-ciiinmitmeut of the Knglisli speaking world to the val idity of contract. It is in effect a pligid against war and war expendi tures, and a rigid adherence of that reduction ami retrenchment which en hances stability precisely as it dis charges obligations." Alluding indirectly to proposals to attach to the Congressional net of ap proval a soldiers' bonus bill, the Presi dent reminded Congress that the war time authorisation for the loans con tained in itself a stipulation that when the money was paid back it Should lie applied to the retirement of Liberty BnndsNind other government issues. As a part of his statement on the debt negotiation the Executive read a retiorf from the American commission headed by Secretary Mellon, describ ing the settlement as "fair anil just to Isith government and pnilictiiig that it would "make a most import am contribution to International sta bility." i "Mr. Harding's appeal for action on the ship bill was prompted,'' he said "by suggestions that Its opponents Were seeking lo prevent a roll Call on it before the end of the session. "Mere avoidance by prolonged de bate." he declared, "is a mark of im potence on a vitally important publit question. I plead for a decision. ' If there Is a favorable majority the bill should be enacted. If a majority Is opposed tlefeat will lie decisive. Then if Congress fails to provide the re quested alternative measure, the Ex ecutive branch of the government may proceed as liest It can to end the loss es in liquidation and humiliation."
