ECONOMIC CONFERENCE
PUBLIC OPINION NOT RIPE.
NEW YORK, 2Sth January.
According to the "New York Tilhe»" Washington correspondent the' Administration feels that go long as American public opinion is opposed to the inclusion jn the discussion of the Allied debts to the United States in any international economic conference it cannot propose such to Europe, and cannot make further efforts towards Eurpean economic restoration. European 'Governments considered the debts were inseparable from general government finance^ and showed strong disinclination to preclude a discussion of the debts from the general conferences. American public opinion, furthermore, has shown opposition to further lenffthy dealinc with the debte. There was also the final drawback against calling a conference while French public opinion sustained the Ruhr invasion. The Administration therefore would not act on Senator Borah's conference proposal even if it passed the Senate.
[A recent cable message stated:—Senator W. E. Borah has announced that he intends to press his proposal for an economic conference, and that he will probably reintroduce the measure in. the- form of an amendment to the Army Appropriation Bill on Monday.]
