WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 27. In

response to an official inquiry by the

British government Secretary ot State Hughes has informed Great Britain that the United States is willing to participate in an advisory economic conference for the purpose of considering Germany's capacity to pay reparations and methods of ef-

fecting such payments.

This co-operation is guaranteed only on the understanding that France and all other powers directly interested in German reparations eoncur in the plan and participate in the conference. If France or any other interested power should not approve of a reparations survey and refuse to participate the United States would determine whether it would participate only after mature deliberation. Would End German Chaos Great Britain is revealed as put

ting forth a desperate effort to halt the dismemberment of Germany and restore the status quo with Germany and France in agreement on the payment of reparations. To this end Great Britain -seeks the aid of the United States. That there had been a formal exchange of views between London and Washington on the European

situation was disclosed by Secretary Hughes a few hours after former Prime Minister Lloyd George had called on him and lunched with President Coolidge and told the press that only the United States can bring about the solution of Europe's problems. Mr. Lloyd George declined, however, to comment on the Hughes note.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. Tentative

approval of plans to expend $1,500,'

000 in permanent improvements at the Ellis Island Immigration Station followed a conference between Henry

H. Curran, immigration commissioner at New York; W. W. Husband:

commissioner-general of immigration, and director of the budget board. If further study of the proposal justifies, Congress will be asked to provide the necessary funds in an early appropriation bill. The expenditure would provide additional sleeping quarters and recreation grounds and modernize the plumbing. Bond for Aliens? Mr. Curran reported to Commissioner Husband that a large number of Italians admitted in recent weeks with the declared purpose of emi

grating to Canada had remained in the United-States. Officials are endeavoring to establish a plan by which aliens in transit through the United States will be put under bond to complete their journey.

Substantial improvements in conditions at Ellis Island have been urged by successive commissioners of immigration, but the question was brought to a head in the minds of the public by the report made to his government by Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador. While on the whole favorable, the report de

nounced the crowding and unclean-; liness which the ambassador found prevalent and made twelve specific suggestions to improve the situation. Conditions Are Known While great excitement in England was stirred up, the authorities at Washington said that the condition of Ellis Island long had been known and every effort was being made to get appropriations from Congress which would make possible necessary improvements. The main counts against Ellis Island have been insufficient quarters to take care of the monthly rushes, bad ventilation, faulty sanitary arrangements, lack of space for medical examination of immigrants

and lack of proper recreation facilities for detained aliens. Last year Congress appropriated $3,300,000 for the immigration serv

ice and but $100,000 for the improve

ment of stations. The tax levied at Ellis Island showed a surplus over its expenditures, but such moneys automatically went into the general treasury.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. Eighteen

metal scrap concerns submitted bids Thursday for the six battleships and

battle cruisers on the ways at navy

yards and to be scrapped under the limitation of armament treaty. The proposals ranged from $5,000 for the uncompleted Constitution at Philadelphia to a group bid for all sixships aggregating $600,000. Most of the bidders conditioned .their proposals on the armor and other metal structures being cut by the government at its own expense into commercial sizes. For the metal in thi3 shape bids of $6.40 to $14.40 per gross ton were offered. "Indiana" for Sale The vessels offered for sale included the battleships-South Dakota and

Indiana at New York navy yard ; the Montana at Mare Island, Cal. ; the North Dakota at Norfolk, Va., and the battle cruisers Constitution and United States at Philadelphia. Officials announced that several days would be required to study the vari

ous proposals before any award could be made. No immediate award is expected, as each of the bidders submitted various ' groups of alternate figures making comparison difficult. In

Lsome. cases a single company bid for

the ships separately or in groups, on a cash basis, or under various time payment plans ranging up to three years.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. Repre

sentative William R. Green, of Iowa.j of the ways and means committee of

the House, who is to be chosen chair

man of the committee in December,

.uinouiiced that the condition of the

treasury would permit a substantial

reduction of federal taxes, including the personal income tax, and that the

only thing that would forestall such

a cut would be an increase in gov

ernment expenses by the enactment of a soldier bonus bill or similar

legislation. Careful Surrey Made After a careful survey of the government's financial prospects he de-

clared that the situation might be summed up by saying that if a bonus j bill becomes a law there is not likely i to be any important reduction in

taxes, but there might even be an increase. Mr. Green's views were "expressed

i in a statement prepared for publica- ! tion in "The Nation's Business,", and j made public here Thursday. I "The present plan and rates of tax- ! ation," said Mr. Green, "if our govi ernment carries on substantially the ! same operations, will probably proj duce a surplus of from $200,000,000 to

year. io exact statement can De made at this time, as the report of the budget bureau has not yet been

issued. We have been applying the

surplus toward the payment of the national ' debt. This surplus is over

and above the payments on the sinking fund, which in itself would extinguish the debt in twenty years. "Taxes Not for Surplus" "Weto not need to burden business by reducing it more rapidly, and cer

tainly we should not collect taxes merely to pile up a surplus which would invite extravagance. As matters now stand we could well make considerable reductions in our taxes, and reductions in the personal income tax all along the line would seem to be first in order."
