SENSATIONAL STATEMENT AUTHORITATIVELY DENIED.

AMERICA NOT DUNNING BRITAIN

Loxbox, October 6.

An authoritative denial is issued of the sensational statement declaring that the United States is pressing Britain for repayment of her war debts. It is emphasised that the United States would not desire to prejudice the issues at the Washington Couference by raising such an important and embarrassing subject at present and it is pointed out that while President Harding is opposed to the question of wat debts being discussed at the Washington Conference he is heartily in favour of easy payments for the

benefits of the debtor nation.

OBSTRUCTING TRAFFIC IN

THE CITY.

The trouble given the police by people who insist upon standing in the roadway while waiting for trams was mentioned to Magistrate Lindsell this morning when a Chinese named Kwok Kam Lin was charged with having obstructed the roadway in Des Voeux Road Central at 6.55 p.m. yesterday, and with refusing to move to the side of the road when called upon to do so by an Indian constable.

WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.

HARDING TAKES A LESSON FROM HISTORY.

SENATE SUPPORT ESSENTIAL.

WASHINGTON, October 6. Reversing the method adopted by Mr. Wilson when he took personal leadership of the Axaerican delegation in Paris, President Harding clearly intends to try to carry the Senate along with him either as the negotiations of the Washington Conference proceed or when they are about to reach con- clusion. It should be remembered in this connection that without the approval of the Senate nothing very definite can be done by the United Srates.

Conference.

In the House of Representatives, Mr. Hughes, the Prime Minister, announced that consequent upon an interchange of cables between Australia and the United States, the Federal Government had appointed Senator Pearce, the Minister of Defence, to represent Australia at the Washington Conference. Senator Pearce will sit at the same table as the British delegates. The announcement was disapproved by the Labour members and Mr. Charlton moved that representatives of all parties be despatched to the Conference.

Mr. Charlton's amendment was defeated by 4-1 votes to 14.

The witness repeated his request in Gentleman, please step English back, and explained to the def- endant that he must not obstract traffic, pointing as he did so, to the notice on the tram standard.
