There is due this country Lscember 15 about $123.- 000,000, President Hcover is speeding East to Washington now to tackle this debt question. Borah States Position. 3 rah, chairman oS e “Retitions. Commitize, Jast night issued a statement cn the debt situation in which he made it clear that he has no sympathy with further postponement of the foreign debts owed this country, nor their revision, unless something can be done to allevi- ate the conditicns which threaten to make it impossible for the nations and their peoples to meet their obligations. He said: # that Great Britain feels oy this time is of little unable to pay at moment compared with the question of why Great Britain feels unable to pay. W‘P’mt is it that has brought about this condition? Fourteen years have passed since the war closed and such has been the effect of the policies pursued that proud Great Britain feels she cannot pay her cbligations in the small sum of $95,000,000 without imperiling the world’s structure. If this is true—and I am not now questioning the truth of ‘proposal it—it seems to me that a to postpone payment without some assurance of & program which will change the policies heretofore gb- taining is an incomplete proposal. If the policles which have been pursued since the war are to continue, then postponement is another name for can- cellation. “It seems to me that proposals for ‘postponement and for ‘morateriums ghould be accompanied by a program which will give some assurance that things will be different from this time on. Basic Changes Favored. | this country has joined in no collec- “If Great Britain cannot pay at this time without imperiling the economic fabric of the world she will be far less able to pay without even greater con- sequences in the future unless the whole international program is changed. “The question of postponement is the Jeast item in this situation. Postpone- ment will not either ruin us or help Great Britain but very little. But the policies which have made postponement Tecessary will destroy civilization if they are continued. It was not merely an incident that on tie same day that the press dispatches notified us London was coming to Washington to be re- lieved of her debts for a_time that 500 farmers were coming to Washington to be relieved of their debts. Fundamen- tally, the two propositions are econom- jeally akin. The policies which have forced the nations close to bankruptcy are the policies which have forced the people of those nations clcze to bank- Tuptey.” Senator Borah's position has been that there must be real limitation of armaments and a revision of the Ver- sallles treaty if the world is to hope for better times. Three Courses Open. The situation which will face Presi- dent, Hoover now and the Congress later is a condition, not a theory.

RICHMOND, Va., November 12.—Gov Pollard tcday urged unemployed in Virginia not to join proposed marches to Washington as Congress opens be- cause “Washington authorities have no means for feeding and housing them.” A telegram received at the executive offices from the Board of Commission- ers in the District of Columbia said “the Jocal government is utterly with- out funds with which to house and feed them.” “Groups of this character before starting should distinctly understand that en arrival in Washington neither food ner lodging can be furnished them and tbelr trip will inevitably bring great -discomfort and much hardship,” the message said, adding that the re- sources of Washington charities are falling -short of local demand.

Monroe Doctrine May Be Involved By Island Award Clipperton, Given to the French, Between Pan- ama and Hawaii. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. Clipperion Island, a 2 barren island situated some 500 miles from the Panama Canal, is likely to become of international importance through the decision of the King of Italy who, act- ing as an arbiter between France and Mexico, has awarded the possession of the island to the French government. The international complications which may follow that decision are whether by the hoisting of the French flag on thai island the Monroe Doctrine has been violated, and if the State Depart- ment finds this to be the case, what steps the American Government in- tends to take in order to prevent such a violation of a we!l established and herctofore unchallenged American doc= trine The island in itself has abso’utely no commereial value to any country, but (Continued on Page 4, Column 7.)

It was indicated, however, that Mr. Hoover would have nothing to say upon the question until tomorrow at the earliest. London Press Expects Aid. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 12.—London Sunday newspapers expressed almost unanimous belief that the United rium on the British debt owed to the United States. The newspapers said that the British War debt note now in the hands of Secretary of State Stimson requests such a moratorjum and suggests that the debt question be tied up with the world c conference to be held early next year, and a reduction in armaments. An installment of $95550,000 is due from Great Britain on December 15. Officials maintained complete silence, however, regarding the contents of the note which Sir Ronald Lindsay, British Ambassador in Washingten, has de- livered to the State Department.

A similar note was dispatched by Great Britain and it is reported that others may be expected from Italy and Belgium, but until President Hoover returns to Washington no further de- velopment is expected on this side of the Atlantic. Officially the Government is saying nothing, but the newspapers described the action by France and Great Britain as a logical development of the whole course taken by debts and reparations since the Hoover moratorfum anX the Lausanne agreement. The semi-official Le Temps links the current negotiations with the return of economic prosperity “which is possible for America only through re-establish- ment of confidence and mnormal eco- nomic order in the world.” The present negotiations by France are a logical development of recent that “America has contracted moral obligations which its Government cer- tainly does not dream of avoiding.” America’s creditors in Europe owe $123,000,000 cue December 15. This week Greece and Hungary passed in- terest installments. Great Britain owes $95,550,000, including interest and & principal payment. France owes nearly 120,000,000, Italy nearly $1,250,000, and Belgium $2,125,000 in interest.

J, November 12— Meeting of Yale and Princeton, the old- est of all the traditional rivalries, fin- | ished in a deadlock, 7-7, after one of the fiercest duels the Bulldog and the | Tiger have ever known. You can go back into the dim and almost Tforgotten classics of bygone generations without finding another Eli- Nassau tidé of the battle that swung back and forth with such amazing sud- denness or that carried its thrills closer to the edge of night. ‘This fifty-seventh rénewal was fought on a clear, crisp Autumn day, with 50,000 spectators keyed up to the old- fashioned emotional frenzy which a meeting of Eli and Nassau always brings. It was Yale today that got the jump by scoring a touchdown early in the fourth period after a magnificent 80-yard march, with Bob Lassiter final- ly diving across the line. Tiger Attack Wins Tie. But against this heavy handicap, a slashing Tiger attack, featured by for- ward passes from Kadlic to McPartland and Fairman, crossed the Blue line for the tieing score as Fortune kicked the | final point. | For the first two periods of the game | neither team could make any headway. And then, early in the third quarter, the Tiger attack swung under way. The break came when Purnell kicked to Yale's 4-yard line and the alert Fair- man knocked down the ball. Forced to kick from back of his own goal line, Parker was hurried and his kick trav- eled only 25 yards. Here was the Tiger’s big chance. With a swirl and a drive, headed by Jack James, the Tiger battering ram, Nassau cut its way to Yale's 3-yard line. The| cold Autumn air was thick with Tiger flags of orange and black.

N FIRE HOSE TURNED New Orleans Police Will Not Interfere With Speakeasies By the Assoclated Press. NEW ORLEANS, November 12. —Speakeasies may operate in New Orleans without police in- terference under an order issued today by Supt. George Reyer, who sala he based his ruling on the fact that the people of Lou- isiana had voted against State prohibition enforcement in Tues- day's election. ‘The result of the election, when the vcters of New Orleans voted 25-to-1 in favor of repeal of the Hood State enforcement act, indicates clearly that it is contrary to the will of the peo- ple,” the superintendent said. “I have, therefore, instructed police- men to eliminate the enforcement of this statute from their rou- tine.” This action will leave enforce- ment of prohibition to Federal officers. ON MOB IN GENEVA City Resembles Armed Camp as Another Serious Clash Is Feared. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, November 12.— Military authorities turned from machine guns to fire hoses tonight in an attempt to | thwart another serious clash with | civilians. A threatening crowd obstinately sang the “Internationale”.in front of a line of soldiers with rifles drawn almost against the breasts of the crowd. The situation was tense and another inci- dent similar to Wednesday's battle when 11 persons were killed seemed imminent. | Then officers gave the order to turn | on the fire hose. The crowd scattered, jeering as they did so. Two additional battalions of troops from the Canton of Valais were brought to Geneva and housed in the large ex- position building near the barracks. With other reinforcements, Geneva ap- peared as an armed camp. The order to “keep moving” was shouted every- where. Other than this incident, the 24-hour strike called by the trade unions as a day of mourning for those killed during the anti-Socialist demonstration passed without serious trouble. Troops occu- pied all public buildings and military authorities warned that they were in | charge of the situation and would use arms without notice if orders were vio- FORD FAVORS END OF TARIFF SYSTEM Change in Money System Also Needed to Bring Back Prosperity, Auto Manufacturer Believes. By the Assoclated Press. BOSTON, November 12.—The Boston American in a copyrighted interview today quoted Henry Ford as urging free trade and a change in the money sys- tem as an aid to prosperity. Ford ar- rived in this city today on his private car. The American quoted Ford as fol- ws: “I think business will begin to im prove at once if the Democrats estal lish free trade. That is in their plat- form and I think it would be a great benefit to the entire world. “If the money system of this coun- try is changed, tariff abolished and free trade established throughout the world, we will see a great change, a new term of hope, optimism, prosperity and hap- piness throughout the world. “I am not a nationalist. I am an internationalist and believe in a living wage for all people in every country of the universe.” After leaving his private car Ford motored to Sudbury to inspect his proverties at historic Wayside Inn. The Boston Sunday Advertiser, in & copyrighted story, quotes Ford as say- ing “the only people who want liquor are those who will make money out of it.” The Advertiser said Ford reiterated his defense of prohibition, saying, “Per- sonally I believe there is far more value in a glass of water than a glass of beer, and for the present at least water is 0-m has yet been estab- SENATE WETS GIRD FOR BITTER FIGHT Both Beer and Repeal Issues Faced as Drys Plan Filibuster. Evidence continued to pile up that wets and drys will grapple in a bitter fight In the short session of Congress. They will war over both the legall~ zation of beer and submission of a new admendment to the Constitution to replace the eighteenth amendment. In spite of confident predictions in some quarters of early action, the drys are going forward with their plans to block such action by a Scnate fili- buster. Representative Beck, Republican, of Pennsylvania, leading wet, declared yesterday the result of the presidential election was “a clear mandate to Con- gress to end, as soon as possible, the tragie folly of Federal prohibition.” In a statement, he said Congress should promptly submit a repealing amend- ment at the short session and probably would do so. He indicated, however, it might be impossible to get the need- ed :wn-thlrdx vote in the “lame duck” session. Beck urged legalization of beer this 1 Winter and emphasized that the wets should consider- withholding funds for prohibition enforcement, which he called a “tragic farce.” < Senate Drys Lay Plans, Senator Borah, insurgent Repub- lican, of Idaho, and other drys in the Senate are already at work on their program of delay. Dry Republicans and some other Republicans in that cham- ber purpose to put all responsibility for passage of a beer bill and submis- sion of a new wet amendment on the Democratic party. For that and other reasons they are devising delaying tactics. Of importance in this connection, is the National Convention of the Anti- Saloon League, which will be held here | the week of the opening of Congress. Leaders of various other dry organiza- tions will meet here at the same time. Efforts will be made to arrive at con- certed plans for fighting all wet leg! lation. Moreover, the dry organizations expect at that time to convince some of the drys in Congress that the swing of sentiment in 1934 will be in the dry direction and that it will be good politics to prepare for it. Leaders of wet organizations will also be busy when Congress opens and, in fact, are already getting in touch with heads of both Houses.

Roosevelt was improving today from the slight cold that con- fined him to his bed yesterday, but | despite his bettered condition he re- | mained in bed to rest and relax. At the executive mansion it was said and that his cold was much improved. He spent the day reading mail, dic- tating letters and resting.

Mr. Roosevelt will travel through the Capital City about November 20 on his way to spend two weeks at Warm Springs, Ga. With the debt payments due on De- cember 15, quick action will be neces- sary by Congress if a second moratorium is put into effect. When Congress ap- proved the first moratorium, an amend- ment was attached to the measure of approval recording Congress as opposed to any further moratoriums. The conferences that Mr. Roosevelt will have with congressional leaders during his stay at Warm Springs will give him an opportunity to discuss with them his views on the debt problem. |PRISON MENl..I PROTESTED Inmates Are Locked in Cells Fol- lowing Disorders.
