The letter was later sent te Senater Ledge. The purpose of the President in writing the letter was te assure the Senate that cverythin gpessible is being done by himself and Secretary Hughes te aid In the economic res toratien of Europe. The President deprecates action by the Senate en ithCBernh resolution at. this. time. The difficulty is the old one which has existed in our foreign relations ever since the Senate rejected the Versailles Treaty. As seen aa the Senate shows its hands in foreign affairs ether Governments de net Uew whether they can deal confi dently with the President or net. False expectations, or at least grave ieubtf, are raised abroad as te what i the real policy of the United States and who expi esses it. It is expected here that the liar- din? letter will defeat the Berah resolution en which the vote would chcrwise be close. Cut if the Administration is te IcHt thU resolution it must seen f'tiS forward s-eme constructive tfiggcstwn.

President Harding's letter te Senater Ledge, asking the Senate te defeat the Berah amendment, was as follews: "My Dear Senater Ledge; "Replying te your inquiry relative te the proposed amendment te the pending naval bill, authorizing and requesting the President te call an economic conference te deal with conditions in the war-tern nations of Europe, I write te say that I knew of no opposition against such an ex pression en the part of the Congress, but I de frankly question the de sirability of such an expression. I think it is undesirable because of false impressions which may be con con eoyed thereby te Europe, and even mere undesirable because of the wrong impression it conveys te our own people. "On the face of things, it is equiv alent te saying that the legislative branch of the Government, which is charged with the conduct of foreign relations, i3 net fully alive te a world situation which is of deep con cern te the United States. "As a matter of fact, the Eu ropean situation has been given most thorough and thoughtful considera tion for many months. Without questioning the geed faith of the proposal, I am very sure it would have been mere seemly, and the action of the Congress could be taken much mere intelligently, if proper inquiry had been made of the State Department relative te the sit uation in which we arc trying te be helpful. Information Open te Congress "Of necessity the communications of the State Department relative te delicate matters among nations can not be bulletined from day te day, but the situation is never withheld from members of Congress who cheese te inquire for confidential in formation in a spirit of co-operation. "Such inquiry would hare revealed the futility of any conference call until it is understood that such a conference would be welcomed by the nations concerned, within the limits of discussion which the ex pressed will of Congress compels this Government te impose. "In ratifying the treaty of peace with Germany the Senate made a reservation that the United States should net be represented en the Reparations Commission without "1" LAI n yjss Marv Campbell Parsons, samf.,, 1,0,-5 Serained , . , . . .. . . .

Moreover, in creating the World War Debt Funding Commission, that body was restricted te explicit terms for rates of interest and ultimate time of pay ment. If Congress really means te facilitate the task of the Govern ment in dealing with the European situation, the first practical step would be te free the hands of the commission se that helpful negoti ations may be undertaken. "It is- quite generally accepted that the adjustment of the question of reparations must underlie any economic rehabilitation of Europe, and reparations cannot be settled without the consent of Governments concerned. The United States can not assume te say te one nation what it shall pay in reparations, nor te another nation what it shall accept. Debts Distinct Frem Reparations "In discussions with foreign Gov ernments the previous Administra tion and the present Administration have insisted that the question of European debts te the United States is distinct and apart from the ques tion of reparations, but European nations held a contrary view and it is wholly inconsistent te invite a conference for the consideration of questions in dealing with which the Government is denied all authority by net of Congress. "Se far as the limitation of land armaments is concerned, there seems te be at this time no mere prom prem ising prospect of accomplishment than when the conference was held in Washington a year age. Here, again, I venture te warn the Senate against the suggestion te our own ncenle or a costure of nrnmiae te the weild which cannot be fulfilled j"1 the Senate's second day of debate until the nations directly concerned the Berah proposal, which is cm express their readiness te co-eneratc . bodied in an amendment te the te such an end. "With respect te a limitation of auxiliary types of naval craft, which arc net limited by the present naval treaty, it is te be said that such an agreement is much te be desired, whenever practicable, but we may reasonably postpone our further endeavors along that line until the agreements made at the Washington conference secure the ' final sanction of all Governments concerned.

President Harding asked the Senate today net te adept Senater Berah's proposal for a new international economic conference. He said in a letter te Sen Sen aeor Ledge, Republican leader, that formal congressional action en the subject new would embarrass him in negotiations he already is conducting looking te such a con ference. The President's letter was sent te I Senater Ledge for presentation dur- Naval Appropriation Bill. The President acted directly te i block Senate action after he had con sulted with Secretary Hughes and after Senater Ledge had visited the White Heuse and had reported en the progress made in the determined I fight already being waged against the Bernh amendment b' Adminis- tratien leaders in the Senate The letter stated that while the Sen ntn might properly "advise" in re gard te international negotiations, its action en the Bernh plan might ghe "fnlse impressions" te Kuiepenn powers. President Trying te Help The Administration, the President snld. wns "trying te be helpful" in the Eurepcnn situation, which had b-en given "mndt thorough nnd thoughtful ronsiderntlen for many months." Without disclosing details of what he is doing, the President suggested thnt Centrress might, bn helpful bv frying the hands of the Allied Debt Commission. He nI"e declared thnt the repnrntiens was the foundation of European difficulties nnd thnt this na tion "cannot assume te say te one nation what It shall pay In reparations nor te another what it shall accept." As te further armament limitation negotiations, also provided for in the Berah plan. President Harding warned ngnlnst whit might be "a gesture of premise te the world which cannot lie fulfilled until the nations directly con cen con (crned express their readiness te co operate te such nn end." Harding and Hugliw Confer The visit of Senater Ledge te the White Heuse, which took pince shortly befere the Senate convened for Its sec ond day of debate en the Bernh pro posal, wns followed closely by the con ference between President Hnrdlng nnd Secretary Hughes. Senater Jehnsen planned te speak tedny in opposition te the Berah pro posal, while ether addretwes weje ex pected te be delivered by Senater Mr Nary. Oregon, who is understood te favor the amendment, nnd by Senater King. Utah. With jesterday's lengthy debate developing the full force of the Admin istration disapproval of the present form of the propesnl by Senater Bernh, who defended it in n lengthy speech, Administration lenders In the Senate were prepared te fellow a definite pro pre grum of opposition, A parliamentary point of order first will be made ngnlnst the amendment, and, this failing, then nn nttempt te defeat it by direct vote.
