Dinner. », * mi ife,: &• F8REI6N LOANS DISCUSSED 0. * President in Full and Frank Discue- •ion With Powerful Banker* on fluaationa of Export Trade ?; "7 and Aid for Europe. Washington, May 28.--A number of the most powerful financiers of the jjil'1; country, headed by J. Pierpont Mor- P", < san, were entertained at the White &*'•'*. Bouse and there was a full discussion './with President Harding concerning the fe>. part American financial interests are p igoing to play In the flotation of forfe/ »elgn loans in this country. It was pP Seamed that those attending the dlnner were: J. Pierpont Morgan of Morgan ft IfV "Company. £ * James A. Alexander of the National IBank of Commerce of New York. |j*v'V Charles H. Sabin of the Guaranty ff- *Trnst company of New York. Charles P. Mitchell of the National K City bank of New York. |Z William Kent of the Bankers' Trust y|/ company of New York. Paul Warburg of New York. Gov. Benjamin Strong of the Fed- 7 «ral Reserve bank. |^/ H. C. McEldowney of the Union . Trust company, Pittsburgh. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. H?" Secretary of Commerce Hoover. There was a full and frank discussion between the bankers present and iPresident Harding and his aides, Secretaries Mellon and Hoover. The subjects discussed covered a wide range, it was said, ail of which bore on the economic situation In this country and abroad and the need for what President Harding has described as "a return to normalcy." It Is understood President Harding took occasion to acquaint the bankers with the administration attitude on flotation of foreign loans. This attitude, as decided upon by the cabinet meeting last week, is that the administration views with grave concern anything which smacks of "raids" on American financial markets by foreign <coun tries. Foreign financing, according to the administration attitude, as so far revealed, is desirable at this time only if the proceeds thus derived are spent In this country--In rehabilitating American industry, now stagnant, in pushing American exports, and in the liquidation of foreign obligations amounting to $10,000,000,000 which are owed to the United States. While those present were chary at discussing the dinner, It is understood some marked differences of opinion developed. Some of the financiers present, notably J. P. Morgan, are now engaged In foreign financing. The Morgan interests only a few days ago announced the marketing of a $100,000,- 000 loan on behalf of the French government, netting investors 8 per cent. It was argued by some of the financiers that In view of the world's economic situation, this country cannot help itself without helping Europe to a considerable degree and for that rea- • son the government cannot be "too narrow" in its views on foreign financing. So far as could be learned, no definite program was agreed upon at the dinner and it was the expectation of those present that the conference -vas but the first of such talks which heads of the new administration will hold with the banking heads of America. There Js one thing upon which all ' were agreed. It was said, and that is the general need of a return to normal business conditions, normal wages, prices and a readjustment of many wartime makeshifts. The bankers assured the President, it was said, that they stand willing to co-operate to make these readjustments, although they differed somewhat as to the methods by which they are to be brought about.

Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian. The property consists of Teal estate and money in four banks. The seizure, Colonel Miller announced, was by cfirection of the President, and under the authority of the trading with the enemy act. It was the first seizure since June, 1919, The property was held by Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll, Grover's mother, under a power of attorney. Accompanied by Maj. Vincent A. Carroll, his personal attorney, Colonel Miller seized the "Bergtioll castle" on the outskirts of thi^ city, where Mrs. Bergdoll lives. This property was left to Grover by his father, Mrs. Bergdoll owning a residence in the city In a section locally known as "Brewerytown." "Well, when do I have to move?" said Mrs. Bergdoll when served with the seizure notice. Colonel Miller -sand Major Carroll then proceeded to the People's Trust company, the Northwestern National bank, the Real Estate Title Insurance and Trust company and Drexel ft Company and ordered the sequestration of all property standing in the name of Mrs. Bergdoll until the interest of Grover in the funds In the banks could be ascertained. President Schmidheiser of the Bergdoll Brewing company was served with a similar order tying up Grover's holding In that .company. All mortgagors to Grover and the tenants in his properties will be eerved likewise. It Is expected the seizure will cut off all funds Grover may be receiving from the United States and throw him upon his own resources in Germany. Washington, May 30.--Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, by reason of his escape to Germany, is now held by the American government to be an "enemy" within the meaning of the trading with enemy act. This is explained in a statement made public at the office of Thomas W. Milier, alien property custodian. The alien property custodian issued the following statement: 'At the personal direction of the President of the United States and in accordance with an opinion of the attorney general, I have gone to Philadelphia to seize such property belonging to Grover Cleveland Bergdoll as has been reported to the alien property custodian as being his own property, or In which he has any interest whatsoever, whether owned and administered directly by him or through power of attorney given to any member of his family. 'This move has been In contemplation for several weeks and has been the subject of conference between the President, the attorney general and the alien property custodian. The State department has amended the general war trade board license of October 2, 1920, which permitted Bergdoll to enjoy the benefits of his property in this country. "Bergdoll, In addition to his other crimes against this country by reason of his evasion of the draft laws and subsequent escape, is today an 'enemy' under the trading with the enemy act. "The Intention of the alien property custodian is to administer and operate the property seized from Bergdoll as that of any other enemy's held by him, until congress directs what disposition is to be made of the enemy property In the hands of the custodian." \V« - Chpt.

The President spoke in the great white marble amphitheater on the outskirts of the cemetery overlooking the capital. In his audience, which numbered thousands, were the blue and gray uniformed veterans of the Civil strife' and khaki clad veterans of the World war. The President said, In part: "Today the sons and daughters of other lands are placing laurels on American graves, and our Memorial" day has become an international occasion, it calls up opportunity for many lands and countries to help In its observance; equally to them and to us, it is a reminder of our common troth to civilization, humamty and everlasting Justice. "I counsel no selfishness, no little Americanism, no mere parochialism, when I urge that our first duty is to our o\yiJ and that in the measure of Its performance we will find the true gauge of our capacity to be helpful to others. "Freedom is not to be crowded upon those who will not have it, but the privilege was opened wide to the vanquished communities which sought to take It from others. We do not yet' know whether the defeated and unwilling beneficiaries will be able to grasp this boon. We cannot tell whether they will pay the price required to maintain the freedom to which the door has been opened. We do know that our sons and brothers afforded them the opportunity. "We found ourselves as a people, occupying a place of vast responsibility to the world. It required submergence of selfish ends. But I am not counseling surrendered Independ-* ence. Our maintained freedom is the only source of our might. Only the American conscience may command this republic. "With the return of peace, Industrial discipline was thrown aside not only in this country, but In every country that was in the war. A breakdown of morale accompanied It and we find ourselves halting when we ought to move forward. We need a patriotism resolute in peace as well as a patriotism atfhme In war. "Only a few days ago I saw more than 5,000 flag-draped coffins, tenanted with their heroic dead. Theirs was mute eloquence in protesting wars, theirs wns the supreme appeal for war's avoidance. The way to preserve honor without material wants and the costlier human sacrifice would be the surpassing memorial tribute. We may not bestow it today, but we may fittingly resolve that the Influence and example of our America shall point the way to such lofty achievement." Sir Auckland Oeddes, the British ambassador, accentuated the Impressive solemnity of the memorial ceremonies with high tribute for the part of the United States in the great conflict. Unannounced, and accompanied only by a British naval officer, bearing a huge wreath of red roses, the British envoy appeared on the rostrum at the conclusion of the President's address. Turning to the President he said: "Ih the name of my king, George V, In the name of the people of the United Kingdom, of India, and of the British dependencies and communities throughout the world--in token ol their admTration of the gallantry and devotion of American sons and daughters in the great war; in evidence of their sympathy with America, who today mourns and glorifies her dead; in undimmed memory of the sacrifices thnt America has made for individual liberty, and with your permission, Mr. President, I lay this wreath on the flag of America."
