Th first conference was-held her a

ference will consider measures to fa
cilitate commerce between th United
States and tho Central and South Amer

One of th notable restore of the
conference will be the presence ia this
country of ain mlaiatera of finance,
including the Secretary ef tho Treasury,
who will probably bo appointed a suc
cessor to Carter Glass befer th con
ference meets.', Thi will be tho largest
assembly of finance ministers ia the his
tory of ths new world. ' f
As Secretary of tho Treasury. Mr.
Glass has been chairman of the later
national High Commission and also the
head of the Central Executive Council
of that' body, which I th capstone ef
Latin-American relations. Thee inter
national dutiea 'were inherited by Mr.

Ia addition t tho nine minister of

note will sttend the conference which
will last through January 16.
, .Net After Big Lean.
On the subject of international finance
it eaa be stated that there is absolutely
nothing in the story snvea wide circula
tion that England i trying to negotiate
a thirteen billion dollar loaa in th
United States, end that it wa for this
purpose that Earl Grey tamo te the
United Bute. A Hearst newspaper ia
New York printed the story that Earl
Grey had ' gone away - with President
Wilsons prom me to ask Congress for
th loan. Belative to the report, a
Treasury official said this afternoon i
'if England really wanted thirteen
billion dollar ia credit from the United
State, he eeuld sot spend that amount
In five year. If she wanted that sum.
th Treasury would certainly not agree
to roeomeend och a loaa to Coagrea.
If th Treasury did recommend it. Con
gress would certainly not agree to it.
If Congress did agree, the money could
not be raised from the people of the
United State. That' all there ia to it."
It ia regarded here that the story wa
printed . at the inspiration of W. B.
Hearst a another effort te create sen
