America Is Only Creditor Na tion With All Debtors Bank rupt He Declares, MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13. Consolida-1 lion of the war debts of all nations in volved in the world conflict, as Avell as outstanding trade balances which would provide international obliga tions guaranteed by all powers involv ed, was advocated by John H. Arnold, of San Francisco, speaking before the United States-Mexican trade confer ence here yesterday. Mr. Arnold, who is a representative of the American i banKing association, urged that an in ternational clearing house be estab lished as an adjunct to his plan. Ho declared an international bank ers' conference should be called im mediately and that commercial men of all nations be invited to send repre sentatives. He said such a conference should provide measures for standard izing currency and for the elimination of exchange fluctuations. "The United States today stands in a saa and undesirable position, being the world's greatest creditor with her customers bankrupt," declared Mr. Ar nold. "There Is no question that all nations owing war debts will eventual-1 ly be able to pay with the exception of Germany, which cannot pay in full! and must have her indemnity obliga-J lions reduced. The big question at present is re-establishment of confi-J dence and the equalizing of exchange' fluctuations. As the world's leading creditor the United States must do the logical thing and call a creditors', j meeting, receive and analyze debtors' i statements, extend now credit and give time and even reduce debts if, necessary. An immediate meeting of i bankers throughout the world should 'be held to study the resources and Ha-! ; billlies of all nations concerned. j i "I have reason to believe If tho United Stales should take the first step, England would follow l "In addition I believe the United I States federal reserve system should I be internationalized." i Mr. Arnold closed his address pre dicting that unless broad, comprehen sive action was taken, immediately lo restore public confidence, the world would be "ruled by anarchy." Endorsement of Mr. Arnold's views will be argued at the meeting tomorrow. oo GOV. HARDING TO SPEAK. BUHL, Ida., Feb. 13.

An 'un- IwH terable" decision in the railroad wage controversy was made today by Presi- dent Wilson in conference with repre- iffl sentatives of the brotherhoods. The Rf president said the government's policy was "based on justice to all interests" ffill The president's decision was not nul announced at the White House. Offi- IHI cials said It was "a decision containing 11 a propsal." From this it wa3 assumed 11 that the president had refused to ! grant general wage increases, but had (11 made a counter proposition to the lll men. 11 The brotherhood men would not say 11 what the proposal was, Timothy Shea, 11 acting president of the Brotherhood of IH Fireman and Enginemen, announcing 11 that they would make no statements 11 today. -JH The While House was expected to M Issue a statement later in the day.

The conference In lasted about 15 minutes. The presi- IX dent was in his wheel chair. jl Mr. Shea immediately notified the M other union officials who have been conferring with Mr. Hines, advising &j them to call a conference to consider m the presidnet's statement. He in til- cated that the conference would con Uj sume .most of Che day and might be fl continued tomorrow He said there Bj was no doubt disposition on the part jjj 0 fthe union men to act hastily and vj that they desired lo make a complete S examination of the president's state- ml meht before reaching a decision. m Won't Stay Strike j The president's proposal, whatever eil it was. was not expected to stay the R3 strike of the maintenance of way em- ployes called for next Tuesday. m Secretary Tumulty declined to say few whether the president had refused spo- ft clfically the wage demands saying, k1 "that everyone wants to settle tho A strike," and that the brotherhood uj chiefs should have an opportunity tp consider the president's suggestion or Q proposal without outside interference. B The president's statement that tho S ! government's policy was based on jus- K Itice to "all interests," is in line with g. 1 the final word presented to the union Rj 'leaders by Director General Hines at m ' the last conference with them. IfjH , Mr. Hines was understood to have fl Hold the men that with the return oi '1 the roads to private control under thf k; H new railroad bill an impartial Iribiina' J.

H i the roads would seek an increase in d H freight rates, which avouUI mean in f H creased living cosls.
