The settlement was attacked and defended in the house. Rep resentative Garner of Tineas, ranking Democrat on the ways and means committee, assailed the funding commission's work as having been a settlement outside the law which created the commission and made possible the extension of time to the foreign countries e in which to pay their obligations to the United States. Mondell. the RepubliRepresentative can leader, , countered with a statement that members of the funding commission had conferred with Republican leaders in congress regarding what term would be acceptable to congress, and added that , while congress was not bound by the commission's action, he believed congress would accept it by a large majority. It has not been determined whether the president will appear personally before congress to submit the settlement terms and ask their approval.

The action of the American debt commission in . reaching a tentative agreement with the British government for Great Britain's war debt on terms outside those laid down in the funding law wss attacked and defended today in the honse. Representative Garner of Texss, ranking Democrat on the ways and means committee, charged that the commission had broken faith with the American people because of Its failure to get authority from congress before entering into the agreement. Representative Mondell of Wyoming, the Republican leader, replied that what the commission did was entirely appropriate and proper because of the importance of getting the agreement concluded before congress adjourned next month. Mr. Mondell disclosed that before submitting to the terms of the British debt commission the American commission In conferred with Republics n leaders 'to 'would terms what congress as likely be of congressional acceptance He added that congress was "not absolutely bound" by the commission's action, but he predicted that the settlement would be accepted by the house - "practically unanimously."

Mr. Gamer also charged that the administration in its efforts to make the books balance had been selling capital assets of the government, such as railroad securities, and using the money for current expenses. Representative Garner declared the American people through their representatives in congress had laid down the terms of the settlement. Further than that, he said, the terms covering ta loan were fixed at the time the money wss advanced during the war. Referring to reports that efforts would be made In congress to hitch a soldiers' bonus bill to the debt refunding legislation, Mr. Garner told the house that he had been Informed President Harding opposed such a step because of the "unrest" that might be caused in Kngland if taxes paid by the British were used to defray the costs of a bonus to American world war veterans.

It of interest Is lower and the term longer than that fixed by the statute creating the commission. It is extremely desirable that a settlement should promptly be made ort the plan outlined, for the following reasons: First, in fairness to Great Britain. England is the only country which is come forward with a proposition looking to an immediate settlement of debt incurred to this country during the war; also, it Is the sole country of Europe which is providing for cur. rent expenditure by taxation. In order to do this it hss been necessary for ner to Impose a burden of taxation far heavier than any of the leading nations has ever imposed in time of peace. A commendable pride In her credit stimulates a desire to meet all her obligations. In this connection, it must be said that while the debts of the various nations of Europe to us should not be canceled a generous policy should be adopted in the terms imposed. It must be recognized that all of, our allies In the late war made sacrifices far in excess of those suffered by the I'nlted States, however great our own may have been. 1 -- .Girls New Spring Tub Dresses. . ..... $1.20 and $1.55 Black, Havana brown and wanted spring shades.
