B S b e e ol 8 ~ GREAT BRITAIN HAS OWN PLANS ON WAR DEBTS Swapping of Economic Concessions with U. S. Not Considered CHANCELLOR BOLDLY | GIVES HIS OPINION Statements Arouse Resent-| ment of American Congressmen | LONDON, Feb. 2. — Great Bri-| tain's clearcut stand on settling of | war debts without swapping econ- omic concessions with the United| States or pledging return to the Gold Standard, except on definite conditions, was outlined yasterday by Chancellor of Exchequer Nev- elle Chamberlain, who was a guest of the American Correspondents As- sociation of London. In answer to questions directed at him by the correspondents, the Chancellor said: Creditor vs. Debtor “The conception of concessions by | Great Britain in return for scaling down of war debts, is not the Brit-| ish conception. “The British view is that these obligations are not those of an ordinary debtor and creditor but that adjustment is as much in; the interest to the creditor nation| as of the debtor nation. STORM OF PROTEST WASHINGTON, F:b. 2. — Chan- cellor of Exchequer Chamberlain's remarks in Londen, drew a storm of protest from Congressional law- makers. They were especially caus- tic as regards his implication that adjustments are of as much inter- est to the creditor nation as the| debtor nation.

The win- (| ter schedule out of Fairbanks has five routes. The lower Yukon route has a plane every Monday and Thursday to Nulato and on Monday the plane goes throuzh} to Nome; the KRuskokwim route |operates a plane every Monday to Flat and on the first and third |Monday of each month through to | Bethel; the Livengood route has| a plane on the day following the| |train arrival; the upper Yukon | rcute to Fort Yukon operates ev- |ery Monday, on the first and third |trip the plane goes through teo | Bethel and the second trip goes |through to Beaver; the Wiseman e to Alatna and Bettles has Adlerika a plane on the 15th of each month. By operating on ‘schedule the people of the north know just when to expect mail, when to plan to travel and it affords much | | greater i satisfaction than when they did not know on which day a plane would arrive, Mr. Lee said. Mr. Lee is on his way to Seat- tle for an indefinite stay. He will establish temporary offices for the company in the Olympic Hotel, and expects to be there until he returns to Alaska during the sum- mer. ——.——— MARINE PATIENTS LEAVE FOR SOUTH, Walter Lofgren and Bert Hill- man, who have been patients at St. Ann’s Hospital, under the care of the Bureau of Public Helath, left the hospital and took passage for the South on the steamer Al- aska. They will enter the new Public Health Service hospital in Seattle.

Proposals to declare moratoria on real estate mortgages have be-| come almost legion. They have been introduced in nearly every!' midwest Legislature and in scatte: ed states elsewhere. | Proposals Differ The moratorlum preposals differ in legal methods and in extent,| but not in principle. Tlinois, for instance, hears a proposal for a five-year morator- ium on mortgage payments. An Indiana plan would authorize stays of execution on mortgage fore- closures. Michigan is asked to extend the time for mortgage re- demption. Oklahoma considers a proposal | for a two-year moratorium on mortgage foreclosures. A Kansas bill asks extension of the mort- gage redemption period to three years, and a ban on deficiency foreclosure judgments. Washing- ton weighs a plan to delay action on foreclosures. Appeals Made to Courts In Towa the state banking su- perintendent invoked, extra-legal procedure to ask receivers of clos- ed banks not to foreclose on farm lands or chattel mortgages. Geor- gia and Arkansas Legislatures have appealed to the courts to delay In Wisconsin both administra- tion and anti-administration forc- have different proposals in- esting the courts with power to | property, to facilitate redemption. ‘The Council of Agriculture in that state sponsors a state board with mandatory powers to adjust mort- gage payments.

In addition to these, a great have strong farmer support methods of tax-reduction.
