President Not To Call Con ference On Foreign Debts (Continued From Page One) strongly influenced by the fact that lougrrsa views with supreme sua- picion every sort of proposal which invoke the United States in the Kuropean financial mess. There is IK'tiiling now and likely to be passed soon a measure which will give the Secretary of the Treasury power to fund (he allied debt, but already discussion of the subject has dis closed the fact that the present temper on Captial Hill ia totally hostile to any concessions to Kurope. Congress intends to grunt the per mission which the President has ask ed for the Secretary of the Treas ury, but it is ing to grant the permission in a very grudging spirit nnd it is going to hedge the conces sion around with conditions which will make it impossible for the Sec retary of the Treasury to do any thing more than provide a method of payment. Indeed, it is even going to insist ujion a Ave peT cent rate of interest. burn being the situation and inch being the political temper in this country and bo one can doubt but that the Congress at the present time is supported by the mass of the American people it ia obvious that any eieeutive action looking to an economic conference in Washington would provoke suspicion and invite criticism. It might eves do more. It might compromise theose deeisioa of the present Washington confer ence which must be referred to the Senate and although certain to en counter opposition, arein now likely to get final assent. In a certain sense refusal to par ticipate in an economic conference followed by rather unyielding ac tion in the matter of the allied debts by Congresa will amuut to serving notice on Kure that the I'nited States does not mean to be drawn into any, discussion of financial mat ters much less to be prevailed upon to make any further concessions or ehow any further tendernesa towards debtor while Kurope itself continues to follow a course which seems to most Americans to approiimat sui eide.

One effect of the Teccnt agreement between the four great powers in the Paritic, to be taken together with the prospect of further agree meat of the er me sort, including all nations with interest in the Pa citic, will necessarily be the esten sion ol the idea in this country that a method has been found by which peace can be maintained, war avoid ed and legitimate economic and com mercial intereata protected.
