Adminstration :ylASHNGTON, March 27—A finite distinction was drawn last aturday night by the Roosevelt 3 inistration between discussing :fl revision of war debts with na- tions which have met the pay- ments as compared to France and other countries now in default. This plan was made known by the State K Department when Sec- retary of State Hull answered in- quiries. He said: “As to governments that are in default or have preferred pay- ments on intergovernmental debts, I cannot say, at the present time, that we would sit in with those governments in future discussions of their debts.” France Rebuffed ‘WASHINGTON, March 27.—Pres- ident Roosevelt Sunday drafted an Executive Order for consolidation of several Government Agricultural Credit Agencies as the first step in his plan for wholesale Fedéral reorganization. The sudden move came as a pre- liminary to his program of refinanc- ing debt-burdened holders of farm mortgages which will be submitted to Congress this week, probably to be followed shortly by a program for revising the national transpor- tation system. The President reserved announc- ing details of his consolidation plan. —_— CONGRESS INFORMED WASHINGTON, March 27.—To- day President Roosevelt informed Congress of the Executive Order is- sued Sunday establishing all Fed- eral Agricultural Credit Agencies under one unit, and the same order abolished the stabilization tions of the Farm Board.

The principal immediate bene- ficiaries are lumber firms, bottling equipment makers and bottle mak- ers. The lumber is used in making cases for bottled beer and kegs for bulk beer. Railroads Seek Cuts Sorely pressed railroads are 100k- ing for beer shipments to help them out of the depression. Car- riers have already petitioned the Interstate Commerce Com m ission for permission to cut rates in or- der to go after the bulky business. Two breweries in St. Louis have ordered $1,250,000 in revenue stamps which are estimated to last three months, Big Revenue Predicted Brewers of New York believe 4,- 000,000 barrels of beer will be pro- duced there during the first year, which will net the government $20,000,000.
