w o THE OUDEN STANDARD-EXAMINER TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19 kS I GERMAN LOAN RUMORS DENIED J. P. Morgan Under Present Conditions Refuses to Consider Project NEW YORK Doc. 19 J. P. Mor gan and company Monday Issued R statement declaring they had notified the itornian ambassador to this coun try ' that It was impossible for us t QISCUBS or consider a loan to German! unless And until the reparations ques tion! Tvere set I led." Thfcj statement was issued, it wrat learned, to set at rest what were de scribed a "highly fantastical stories" which have been published regarding tne possibility of the flotation of an international loan to Germany, esti mated aa high as $ 1 ,&00,000.0on. TEXT OP STATEMENT. The statement follows; Dr. Otto Wlrdfeldt, the Gorman ambassador, called on Mr. Morgan on Saturday to make inquiry as to the possibility of our undertaking to as sist In floating a large, so-called Inter national loan to Germany, in his re ply Mr. Morgan adverted to the state ment that he bad made following the sluing of the Bank- rs' committee last July, and In effect told the ambassador that our position was exactly the sam as it was then. "He informed Dr Wicdfoldt that, while we greatly desired to be of ser- Ice to the general situation, neverthe less matters had manifestly reached SUCb a point that it was not possible lor us to discuss or to consider a loan 1 1 Germany unless and until the rep arations. iiustion was settled." I CONDITIONS RECALLED. In his report to the International committee of bankers. Mi Morgan as serted Che American Investor would he interested In German obligations only if It were satisfactorily established: "First That such a loan should be fit the request or would bj for the benefit of the allied nations. "Second That through the techni cal security to be given by Germany and the rehabilitation of its Internal financial situation Germany should clearly show a desire to meet its obli gations in the hope thnt by the ful fillment of these obligations, it would re-establish Its credit as one of the commercial nations of the world." BERLIN BEWILDERED. LONDON, Dec 19 Berlin dis patches printed here today assert that the sudden fall of the dollar to ap proximately 5.000 marks. following rumors of an American loan, had strange and startling results In Ger many last week-end The writers s;iy that the whole country was bewilder d and that everybody's calculations. Ions: adjusted to holding the dollar at some thing like 8,000 marks, were com pletely upset. Tho people, to whom every rise In -prices has been represented as due to the rise in the dollar, logically expect-1 ed that its fall would be Immediate followed by a drop in the cost of liv ing. On this assumption thousands of persons thronged Berlin's shopping district on Sunday In the hopes of In-i dulglng in purchases hitherto beyond their means. It was "silver Sunday" the lost before Christmas, when shopn e.ro open, and tho shoppers were con fident that price would be way down. Merchandise was as high as ever. Tho tradesmen, taking notice of the peculiar situation on Monday marked their goods down 20 per cent, but it was too late. Now they have visions of larg' Christmas stocks remaining on theii hands. g y McLAUGHLIN-STOREY CO. 1 For 10 years McLAUGHLINB I QUALITY has been recognized by I I leading dealers in Ogden J Mclaughlin quality in Auto II Painting has been on display in j Auto Shows both In Ogdeo and Salt Lake and acknowledged to be I as distinctive and beautiful as any ! factory job.

BORAH MAKES HOT SHIP BILL ATTACK ': WASHINGTON. Dec 19 Senator Borah Republican. Idaho. Monday at tacked the argument of proponents ol the ship subsidy bill that a government-aided merchant marine is neces ary as a defense measure. Such an argument, he said, was "sublime ab surdity' in "a time when there is no prospect of war between nations but when th only signs of conflict are bi twees governments and peoples bur dened with excessive taxation." He added that It was "certainly inexpedi ent to enact tin- shipping bill before there can come Into power a congress chosen at an election In which this legislation was an Issue." "I submit to my Republican friends that we have trifled with our seven i million majority about &S long as we I should " said Senator Borah. "It is not for me to advise those in charge of tne Republican organization, but It is easy for anyone to see that enactment of tills bill between now and the fourth of March will not settle the ojiestion. 1 think it Is Rafe to predict that if thus bill Is pnsser by this dying congress, the first session of the new congress will not be 24 hours old be- fore there will be a measure Intro- I d ueerl to repeal it." Addr-'slng himself partioularh to 1 the Norris motion Senator Borah said that if th- ship hill was kept before the congress until passed, and rural credits and railroad legislation Slighted, th.' Republican party, "will not have enough votes to count " ! "Ship subsidy can wait." he shout ed 'The American farmer cannot wait."

I The groups meeting at Cleveland formed "a tlnghtly bound organization with a written constitution," Mr. ' Brown said In a statement. "Therefore 1 certain questions arise.
