London, Dec. 18. The strongly unfavourable reaction to the Washing ton hint that President Hoover contemplated retiring with the laurels of having collected Britain's December war debt payment and doing nothing in the matter of the request for an early discussion, appears to have per- suaded the Administration to reconsider the position, with a happier result from all points of view.
A message received from Washington this evening states that after an extraordinary conference at the White House, in which Mr. H. L. Stimson, Mr. Harrison, the Governor of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and Senator Smoot, of Utah, joined, President Hoover, assisted by Mr. Ogden Mills, the Secretary to the Trea- sury Department, spent his Sunday drafting a Message
to Congress.
The Message will recommend Congress to appoint a special Commission to review the debt question and it will also link the problem of the debts with the problems of world economic disorder.. ·
The views of Mr. Harrison are believed to have proved the decisive factor in the President's change of attitude.-Reuter.

Herr Eduard Bernstein, who
was the Nestor of German Soci allem, died in Berlin yesterday at the age of eighty-three years.
Berlin was his birthplaco. He
began life as a bank clerk, but en tered politics at the age of 28 and
took an active part in the political fold almost until the day of his death.
An acquaintance of his youth, Karl Hochburg used to give him the Socialist periodical Dio Zukunft until it was suppressed and afterwards a number of other publications.
From 1878 to 1881 Bernstein was his secretary and want with him in 1880 to Zurich where from 1870 organ of German Socialism, had to be published. Later he became ita

In 1888, he was expelled from Switzerland and with the staff of the Sozialdemokrat moved to Lon- don. But even after the rescind- ing of the laws against Socialism in 1890 ho did not venture to de- turn to Germany, as he did not wish to face prosecution to which he had rendered himself liable as editor of a prohibited paper.
It was not till 1901, when it be came known that the authorities - had decided to forget the past, that Bernstein went back to Gor- many, But before that a great controversy had arisen In the Socialist party over Bernstein's views. He had made a number of attacks In the Neue Zeit on Marxism which excited. much op- position. Karl Kautsky roplied with "Bernstein and the Socialist programme."
