and no sense embodying a plan for
the settlement of reparations.
In a formal statement making

Boyd as unofficial American obser-
ver on the commission nor anyone

Washington. Jan. 16. — Consider- .
ation of the Capper farm credits bill released on bond this af-
was nearly completed today by the|ternoon as $2,500 to appear befor the
Senate but final action went over un-
til tomorrow.
Little criticism of the principles of
the Capper bill was voiced although
its efficasy was scouted by some Re-
publicans as well as Democrats.
Senator Simmons (Dem) North
Carolina, said he hoped it would not
prevent enactment of “real farm cred-
its legislation,” declaring the co-oper-
ation credit association proposed could
not be of much aid to agriculturalists
except live stock growers.
An amendment by Senator Nor-
beck, (Rep) North Dakota, changing
the title of the bill to the “federal
live stock and agricultural loan act”
was accepted by chairman McLean of
the banking committee and adopted by
the Senate. The new title is based
,on the co-operative credit system of
the bill.

Washington, Jan. 16.—The Ameri-
can and British debt commisions were
unable today to bring into accord their
viewe as to the terms of the settle-
ment of the Great Britain war debt to
the United States. Further negotia-
tions were suspended until Tuesday,
with the British seeking further in-
structions from their government.
There were indications that the
present differences had to do largely
with the question of interest rate. It
was reported that the British mission
had suggested three per cent and that
this had been approved by the British
cabinet.
It was learned authoritatively that, , .... . ,

out the senation which was expected
to attend the appearance of Mr. Sin-
clair headed by Mr. Lafayette one of
