determined fight against the. proposal of
Pcnnter Berah, for n new international
conference in Washington te discus

Senater Ledge, who was Mid by his
colleagues te have ascertained the view
of President Harding and his ndminis ndminis

wen as the Senate began work en the
Berah proposal, which is in the form of
an amendment te the annual naval bill
requesting the President te call nn r(o r(e r(o
nemlc and armaments conference.
Alludes te France
The foreign relations chairman ic ic
leuntcd the difficulties of further arma
ment limitation encountered at the
Washington arms conference a year
age, and declared that In view of the
attitude taken by ether powers it
would be "useless" te attempt te limit
land armamcntB unless it were estab
lished beforehand that France had
(.banged her position.
Mere than a score of Republican Sen
ators In informal conference today be
fore the Senate reconvened decided te
oppose the amendment offered by Sen Sen
aeor Berah te the Naval Appropriation
Hill, which would request President
Harding te call nn international eco
nomic and disarmament conference.
The conference determined that Sen Sen
aeor Pelndcxtcr should open the fight
by making a point of order against the
Ilerah amendment, en the ground that
It is general legislation in an appropria
tion measure. If the point of order
should be overruled, administration
leaders said they planned te fight the
proposal en its merits, and ns a last re
sort te present modifications limiting
the proposed economic conference in
Mich a way as te give satisfactory pro
tection against embroilment in the af
fairs of Lurepe.
The whole field of American relation

international conference in Washington
te consider methods of restoring "sound
lui-incs and financial conditions" and
in seek nn ugreement for further liml liml

After a week of conferences. Ad
ministration lenders indicated that they

original form, and negotiations were
Proceeding for modifications te make
it acceptable. Meantime n definite
break had developed within the ranks
of the Senate irrecencj'ablp group, of
which Senater Berah lias been a leader
since the League of Nations fight. Sen Sen

sition tlint a conference like that pro pre

British mission sails for America te
adjust debts. Chancellor of Ex
chequer Baldwin is hopeful for
early settlement of British obliga
tions te United States.
Statement by Chancellor Baldwin
mat uenar i-aw is seen te mane
important reparations move.
TO ADJUST DEBTS
Mission Sails te U. S. With
Hepe of Funding Heavy
Obligations
REPARATION MOVE HINTED
By Modetfd Prj
Londen, Dec. 27. The Ilritish finan
cial inlsMen te the United States, headed
by Stanley Haldwin, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, sailed for Xew Yerk this
morning en the liner rajcstic. Besides
the Chnnceller, the party included Sirs.
Baldwin nnd daughter: Montague C.
Nerman, governor of the Bank of Eng
land; Itewe Dutten, financial adviser,
and P. J. Gigg, of the Treasury.
It is expected the mission will return
nbeut the end of January.
In n statement te Oie Evening Stand
ard today Mr. Baldwin pointed out that
under the present arrangements Great
Britain's payments te the United States
would amount te between GO,000,000
nnd 70.000,000 annually.
"We hepe te fund this debt," he said,
"and get the burden of interest eased.
Tf it is successful, I hope America will
be kind te n much mere important mis
sion which Mr. Benar Law is shortly
te undertake."
Refers te Reparations
The Evening Standard says this lat
ter refers te a reparations settlement.
The Chnnceller added that it is of
supreme importance te Europe that
America should have her way as re
gards Europe's financial problem.
Mr. Baldwin's statement follews:
"My mission concerns our I, O, U.'s
held by the United States and is a deli
cate one. We are in the position of
debtors. We must tread warily. Nev
erthless I hope te persuade the United
States Government te come te a per
manent settlement en "' twins of our
debt te America of something like 85'!,
000,000 pounds.
"At present a law of Congress pro
vides that this must be repaid within
twenty-five jenrs at 43 per cent in
terest. This would mean nn nnnual
payment by Great Britain of between
60,000,000 and 70,000,000 pounds, a
very heavy item in our budget. We
hope te fund this debt and get the bur
den of interest eased, but of course the
last word is with America.
Set Example te Europe
"If we can effect a settlement en such
a matter we shall set nn example te
Europe, an example which might well
be an augury for the settlement of even
greater international problems than this
one.
"If T am .successful. I hope America,
having seen the result of one mission,
will be kind te the much meie impor
tant mission which Mr. Bennr Law is
shortly te undertake (the word 'repa 'repa
latiens' was here parenthetically in
serted by the newspaper), and which
is mere difficult than mine.
"It is of supreme importance te
Europe that America should have a say
in the many perplexing matters new
engaging the attention of statesmen."
Washington, Dec. 27. (By A. P.)
Prof. Jeremiah W. .Tcnks, of New
Yerk, who was a member of a com
mission of experts invited by the Ger
man Government te consider measures
which it might tnke for stabilization
of the mark, called en President Hard
ing today and discussed with him the
European financial situation. He re
turned te New Yerk directly after con
cluding the interview.
The President was said te have in
dicated interest in the exchange situa
tion which lias resulted from the con
tinuous fall in value of the German
monetary unit. The report of the com
mission en which Dr. Jenks served as
American member has been adopted in
part by the German Government and
the Reparations Commission.

HARDING SENDS MESSAGE
President Harding and feuner Pres
idents Wilsen nnd Taft joint d today,
through written messages, in n remark
able demonstration here in honor of
Leuis Pasteur, a trail bluer in science,
who was born one hundred years nge
tcdny.
Netnbleflihysicians and ether men of
science fiem many parts of the coun
try assembled in the Academy of Mu
sic this afternoon te de honor te the
Immortal Fienehnuui who mude pie
ventive medicine possible.
"Americ.i lias been one of the first
nations te apply Pasteur's work te prac
tical use," wrote President Harding,
whose message, like these of Mr. Wil Wil
eon and Chief Justice Taft, was broad
cast te .100.000 radio users.
The building of the Panama Canal
was made possible, the President as
serted, because Pattern's doctrines en
abled a successful light against jellevv
fever.
"The health of n people is essentiul
te the pi egress of n nation." the Pics
ident bald In closing, "for without
health there can be no prosperity."
Woodrew Wilsen wrote, in part :
"It is Pasteur's immortal distinction
thnt he net enlj broadened the thought
nnd enlightened the practice of the great
medical profession in the treatment of
certain diseases, but aWj erected bar
riers against nil disease and se (on (en
fcrred an inestimable benefit upon man
kind." Taft Sees DiWne Progress
Chief Justice Tnft's tribute was that,
"Pasteur was ene of the greatest bene
factors of the human rate in all his his
teiy. Nothing tends te show the Divine
progress in man se much ns such proved
capacit.v te unlock the secrets of the
Divine law in his own creation, life and
dentil."
Dr. Etieunc Burnet, sent te this
country as Ihe special repiesentntive
of tlie French Government at the cen
tenary here, was fogbound off New New
Yerk this morning en the liner Ln
Savoie. He is te he a speaker at a din
ner in the Bellcvne-.Stiatferd this eve
ning, wlieie the Imal part of tlie Pas
teur program will take place.
Ambassador Knew brlci'tlst
France herself spoke nt the exer
cises ill the per-iiii of Jules .Iiissernnd,
the French Ambassador. He had known
the great scientist persenall and gave
a compelling, sympathetic outline of
Pasteur's ceiiinb"-'-ns te m.mkiiid.
Pasteur's dec' . was "Tiuth above
all," the A' h ader said, as he
sketched the fcie.it Ficnihmau'ti tireless
work ln the laboratory, his constant
decking et ilaerles, his fearless at
tacks en piimiples thnt fuller knowl
edge innde (il)-elt'tc.
"Before he attempted his cures of
the most die eh d human diseases, he
hnd proved ihe benefactor of the silk,
beer, wine nnd vinegar industries, of
the sheep mid chicken farmer and of
many ethers giving, of course, as the
higher sciennlie minds will ever de,
