WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—Pay up on December 15, America has advised foreign debtor nations and this creates a more favorable at: mosphere for reconsideration of the whole war debt problem by a com- mission which President Hoover will ask Congress to authorize. This is the gist of notes for- warded by Secretary of State Stimson in response to requests from France, Great Britain and Belgium for extension of the pres- ent moratorium and re-examina- tion of the debt situation. The notes were mad® public late yesterday. They informed the for- eign governments that no author- ity lies within the power of the Executive to suspend the Decem= ber installments and no facts are in possession of the President which could be presented to Con- gress for favorable consideration. For Original Agreements The Secretary of State said this Government and the people be- |lieve in maintenance of the original agreement for payment on De- cember 15 and by such payments ! prospects would be increased great- ly for reconsideration of the debt question. Secretary Stimson wrote to Sen- ator William E Borah, of Tdaho, Committee, including the text of the notes. Diluted Moratorium Senator Borah said he opposed payment of installments due next month to be paid in currencies of the nations making them, as sug- gested last week by President Hoo- ver. Senator Borah termed such procedure as a “diluted form of moratorium and I can see nothing tc be gained in a dealing of this matter in that way or dealing with it partially or incompletely.” In all three notes Secretary of State Stimson emphasized the fact that Congress alone has the power to modify the debt arrangements. The note to krance contained a reminder of the President's prev- iously expressed idea that world proved by exchanging debt conces- ament. ——to———— NAVY STRENGTH American Legion Com- mander Discusses Na- tional Defense RICHMOND, Virginia, Nov. 26.— Louis Johnson, National Command- er of the American Legion, in an address here, said the Legion’s theory is that National Defense could be summarized in the biblical text: “A strong man, well armed, keeps his palace in peace.” Johnson said further: “We have sunk to a new low in our prepared- ness in the Navy, but God is giv- ing it help and the American Le- the standard of the National De- fense Act of 1920."

Leaders have found a plan and will present it to their wet colleagues late today to gain support for a speedy de- termination on the question. Representative Snell has a plan whereby the Speaker is to recognize a member of the House to move for suspen- sion of the rules and ask for an immediate vote on the re~ peal resolution. A two-thirds majority is required to sus- pend the rules and a like majority to pass on the con< stitutional resolution. Democratic Whip McDuffie has written to all members of | {his party to be present on December 5 although ordi- narily the opening day is given over to routine busi- {ness only. Representative Rainey has ap- proved of the plan. The Floor 1Lender said many Republicans and Democrats would not support beer legislation, but would vote on sub= mission of repeal. Representative Rainey further stated it would take a lot of votes jto put the repeal legislation through but there have been so many switches from dry to wet in recent months that “I believe the House will adopt the - repeal I resolution.” GARNER IS READY WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—Speak= er John N. Garner, late today, an- nounced he would recognize' the motion to suspend the rules, for a vote on the resolution to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment, onthe first day of the coming session of Congress. Speaker Garner, who isalso Vice« President-Elect, said: “Both parties have demanded the right to vote on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. I am go- ing to let them vote on Decem< ber 5.” McNary’s Favorable Senator Charles L. McNary, Re-~ publican of Oregon, expressed a similar idea for submission of the repeal resolution.
