MEMBERS OF HOUSE ASSAIL REVISION Only Those Awaiting Decision of Leaders Fail to Con- & demn Debt Relaxation. With few exceptions, the poll con- ducted by the North American News- peer Alliance on the views of mem- rs of Congress concerning cancella- tion or revision of war debts, has brought replies vigorously opposing either action. The exceptions were in the cases of those who said their course would be | guided by the views of President Hoo- ver or President-elect Roosevelt, or both, or who said they considered it/ impolitic for them to express any opin- | ion either way at this time. But of the answers, not one has ad- vocated an extension of the moratorium or cancellation of the debts. ‘Wants Home Moratorium. The replies received from a number ©of Representatives follow Robert S. Hall, Democrat, Mississippi —“At present I am opposed to mora- torium plan.” Edgar Howard, Democrat, Nebraska: *“T shall oppose any extension of the ‘Hoover moratorium on war debts due from European governments unless there shall be cou- pled with such ex- tension a mora- torium of two years on all mort- gages covering ac- tual homes of American citizens, whether the homes may be in villages, cities or on farms.” James T. Igoe, Democrat, Illinois: “I am opposed to further extension ©of moratorium on war debts and inter- est payments. Also opposed to can- cellation or revision.” A. P. Lamneck, Democrat, Ohio: “T am unalterably opposed to further mora- toriums postponing interest payments on war debts or cancellation of debts. The chief reason, and perhaps the only reason, European nations ask further extension of interest payments is be- cause United States has no more money to loan them.” “Have Given Enough.” C. B. Lovette, Republican, Tennessee: «I am unalterably opposed to exten- sion of the Hoover moratorium or any sort of postponement of foreign debts or interest thereon. I am opposed to cancellation or revision of foreign debts and will so vote when the question comes up in Congress. We have given them enough. They should pay the balance.” C. B. McClintock, Republican, Ohio: %At present I am opposed to extension of moratorium and am against can- cellation, 1If foreign countries have money for armaments to prepare for war, they should have money to pay their honest debt.” John C. Shafer, Republican, Wiscon- sin: “I am unalterably opposed to fur- ther moratorium or reduction of in- terest or principal of the foreign debt. Foreign debtor countries which have sufficient funds to maintain huge mili- tary establishments have capacity to p: If any reviston of war debts is in crder it should be upward instead of downward.” Hits Burden on Citizen. Leonard W. Schuetz, Democrat, Illi- ! mois: “Very much against further ex- tension of moratorium, revision or oth- erwise. Furope should pay her just depts and not burden the United States citizens.” C. G. Selvig, Republican, Minnesota: “I am unable io see any benefit to the United States either in cancella- tion of foreign debts or in extension of moratorium. I am against it unless it can be definitely shown that this will be a benefit to our country. Lack of authentic information concerning sbility of those countries to pay and regarding their willingness to reduce annual expenditures for armaments, saddling European debts on American people, both unjust and unwise.” H Gardner R. Withrow, Republican, Wisconsin: “I am opposed to any ex- | tension of the Hoover moratorium. I also oppose postponement of December 15 war debt interest payments, and oppose any downward revision of war debts owed to the United States.” Clifton A. Woodrum, Democrat, Vir- ginia—"The matter referred to in your telegram will call for legislative action and I prefer not to express any opinion until it comes up in the regular way before the House of Representatives. I did not vote for the Hoover morator- fum.” Rep. Howard, Awaits Roosevelt Visit. Tom A. Yom, De , Florida—"I | voted against moratori at the last gession of Congress. Since Gov. Roose- | velt is to confer with President Hoover on this question and as I hope to see him on his visit South, it will depend | on his attitude as to my action when | Congress convenes in December. Gov. ! Roosevelt and party have been given | mandate, and I will follow.” | August H. Andresen, Republican, Min- | nesota—"1 am opposed to extension of the moratorium and emphatically be- lieve that the American people are en- titled to a moratorium before further consideration is given debtors.” A. Piatt Andrew, Republican, Massa- chusetts—"I am opposed to cancellation, but believe re-ex- amination of the war debt question inevitable in view of the world crisis, demoralization of foreign currencles, appreciation of gold and the col- lapse of repara- I favor of all pos- compensatory concessions from debtor countries, such as trade agreements, reduc- tion of armaments and transfer of in- sular possessions.” ol Bloom, Democrat, New York— “Only after full information is received Rep. Andrew, y Congress from the President of the | ted States can I decide or declare | U vhether should be granted.” Have Acted Patiently. William F. Brunner, Democrat, New York—"I am vigorously opposed to any further extension of the debt morator- jum, while fully cognizant jc havoc which has out Europe. We have suffered severely and in turn_shou receive payment of debts due us. Further nsion should be considered only as a last resort. To my mind we have acted fairly and patiently. It therefore is my belief that further extension of the mcratorium should be denied and, above all, we'should decline any overtures of cancellation.” Guy E. Campbell, Republican, Penn- sylvania—"“My position is set forth in section 5 of the House joint resolution 147, Seventy-second Congress, and is amplified as follows: ‘I would not op- pose reduction in annual installments covering a longer period of years, but no cancellation.’ “Our Government should negotiate with the nations individually. Our hands must not be forced by the con- certed action of Europeon nations. Loans were made -to individual nations and not to a collective group.” “Must Demand Payment.” 0, Canfield, Democrat, Indiana gainst any further qodmu- , extension or cancellationiof war a postponement to European | CZECHS JOIN MOVE SEEKING REVISION OF DEBTS TO U.

On Wednesday morning, . day after the Roosevelt conference, Mr. Hoover will go over the same ground with 13 leaders of Congress—Republican and | Democratic Senators and Representa- |tives. Among them will be Speaker Garner, Vice President-elect. Moratorium Is Doubted. Upon their attitude and that of their followers, depends in the last analysis, the attitude of this Government in connection with payments due Decem- ber 15, because any policy on the ques- tion enunciated by the President must win their approval. President Hoover has been repre- sented by high members of his adminis- tration as definitely opposed to another year moratorium. He has been de- scribed at the same time as favoring a more strict attitude toward debtor nations and as recognizing that some European countries cannot pay. Although all the 12 Republican and Democratic Senators and Representa- tives who have been called by tiy President to a White House war-debt parley Wednesday have not yet reached the Capital, a majority of those now here have stated opposition to debt revision or suspension. Senators Reed, Republican, Pennsyl- vania; Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, and George, Democrat, Georgia, mem- bers of the Senate Finance Committee, have held that foreign debtors should pay, while Representatives Rain Democrat, Illinois, and Collier, Dem crat, Mississippi, members of the House ‘Ways and Means Committee, have made repeated statements that there should be “no change in the debt situation.” Garner Due Tomorrow. Vice President-elect Garner, another who has repeatedly opposed moratorium, cancellation or re-creation of the War Debt Commission, is scheduled to arrive in the Capital tomorrow a few hours before Mr. Roosevelt. They will un- doubtedly discuss debts, as the Presi- dent-elect now plans to stay here ove: night and possibly part of Wednesday. In his discussion of debts with the President-elect, Mr. Hoover likely will speak of the War Debt Commission, the revival of which he has previously rec- ommended, and of the resolution adopted by Congress at the time of the moratorium declaring against can- cellation or reduction. In his telegraphic invitation to the New York Governor, the President| spoke of negotiations with foreign debtors, and of the question of disarma- ment in connection with this problem. “Any negotiation of this question on the basis of the requests of these gov- ernments,” he told Mr. Roosevelt, “is limited by the resolution of Congress. And if there is to be any change in the attitude of Congress, it will be greatly affected by the views of those members | who recognize you as their leader and | who will properly desire your counsel | and advice.” | Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the| Democratic leader, said in Little Rock he was opposed to any postponement of payments when due and suggested that if Mr. Hoover felt legislative action was necessary a_special session should be called immediately. He and other Democratic leaders will confer with the President-elect at Warm Springs, Ga., later in the month. Sol Bloom to Speak. Representative Sol Bloom of New York will speak at joint Thanksgiving day exercises in the B'nai Israel Syna- gogue, Fourteenth and Emerson streets, Thursday at 11 am.

Congress grant- ed a moratorium in 1931 for the purpose EUROPE'S 1917 PLEA Frantic Appeals Evidenced in Papers of Balfour, Page and Admiral Sims. The pleas of Europe in 1917 for funds to combat submarines and save the gold standard were even more impassioned than those to the United States 15 years later for reconsideration of agree- ments under which those funds should be repaid. The frantic messages which resulted in many loans now included in the $11,000,000,000 in war debts owed the | United States were made public today | by_the State Department. | "Dispatches of Lord Balfour, British secretary of state for foreign affairs; Walter Hines Page, American Ambas- | sador to London; many other contin- tinental statesmen, and Admiral W. S. Sims, show the pressure under which | President Wilson and Secretary Mc- | Adoo of the Treasury sanctioned loans of approximately $4,000,000,000 that year to Great Britain, France, Italy, | Russia, Belgium and Serbia. | Page Warned of Disaster. On Juns 28, 1917, Ambassador Page |said: “Financial disaster to all the European allies is imminent unless the United States Government advances to the British enough money to pay for British purchases in the United States,” and added: “Unless we come to their rescue we are all in danger of disaster. Great | Britain will have to abandon the gold | standard. | . “Anti-submarine craft which cannot | be assembled in the submarine zone I:\lmost immediately may come too late. There is therefore a possibility that this war may become a war between Ger- many and the United States alone.” Admiral Sims, special assistant to Page, reported from Queenstown, Ire- land, on June 26 that “the war will be won or lost in this submarine zone with- in a few months.” On April 6, the day the United States declared war against Germany, Page sent to Secretary Lansing a note from Balfour, saying: “Our (the United Kingdom's) power to finance, not merely ourselves but all our allies, has inevitable limitations, and if the burden could be diminished by direct arrangements between the United States and the various allied countries, immense assistance would thereby be given toward the efficient conduct of the war.” House Calls Council Farce. ‘The report of the American mission, headed by Col. E. M. Mouse, which at- tended the inter-allied conference of November 29 to December 3 and dated December 15, 1917, was extremely pessi- mistic. “The Supreme War Council as at present constituted is almost a farce,” the report stated over House's signa- “There is but little co-ordination anywhere between the allies,” the re- port continued. “Jealousies are every- Where rife.

BY MARK SULLIVAN. From the point of view of the average man, the question involved in the meet- ing of President Hoover and President- elect Roosevelt tomorrow can be stated roughly thus: Would the average citi- zen’s lot as respects employment, wages and the state of business be most helped {by () an immediate taking up of the question of intergovernmental debts or (b) postponement until after Mr. Roose- velt takes office March 4? As to the answer there is evidence in what happened in June of last year, when Mr. Hoover proposed a morato- rium on these debts. On that occasion the mere promise of tempora~y relief from the incubus led to an almost sen- sational rise in prices of securities and commodities. The lift in the country’s spirits was observed and recorded by & distinguished Democrat — Newton D. Baker—who said: “Those who noted the reception accorded President Hoover's proposal by plain men had the experi- ence of hearing artisans and small busi- ness men spontaneously evidencing their understanding and approval.” Deep Division in Party. ‘The statement of the alternatives as put above is short of the complete dif- ference between them. The choice may fairly be sta.ed as perhaps being be- tween an assured settlement getting under way at once and, on the other hand, perhaps a failure to arrive at any progress toward settlement later. If on Tuesday President Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt should unite upon a recom- mendation, the authority of it would command almost unanimous support from the country and would insure confirmation from Congress. If, however, Mr. Roosevelt prefers to wait until he is President, he will have to carry upon his own shoulders alone thacbol:den of getting his action ratified gress. That will be difficult, because within Mr. Roosevelt's own party and support- ers 1s a wide gamut of deep divisions on this subject ran from Mr. Heart's last-cent insistence on ‘“make ‘em pay,” to the attitude of the Demo- cratic Baltimore Sun, which earnestly insists these debts are a “tragic folly” and that all should be wholly wiped out “once and for all.” As for the Republicans in Congress, they would at the present time be al- most invicincibly compelled to unite in ratification of a program for settlement bearing the indorsement of President Hoover united to that of Mr. Roosevelt. After March 4 the Republicans would be under no such compulsion to sup- port an attempt at settlement made by Mr. Roosevelt after he is President. On the contrary, they would be subject to partisan temptation to resist it and to foment the division within Mr. Roosevelt’s own party about it. ‘Withholds Action. Gov. Roosevelt's inclination so far is to withhold action until after he be- comes President. This leaves upon Mr. Hoover the responsibility for doing as much as is possible to be done by a President having only three months to serve. The “responsibility” Mr. Roosevelt sald in his answer to Mr. Hoover’s in- vitation to co-operate, “rests upon those now vested with executive and legislative authority.” Mr. Roosevelt's motive for this attitude is hinted by well-informed talk emanating from persons close to him. As thus repre- sented, the motive is that Mr. Roosevelt wishes, when he takes office, to treat as one unit all matters within the field of foreign relations, including these debts, the tariff, the coming interna- tional economic conference and other measures for rehabilitating world trade. Mr. Roosevelt is represented as holding that, in order to have complete free- dom to deal with all these matters as & whole and in their relation to each other, it would be undesirable for him to commit himself now on so important a detail as intergovernment debts. This position is tenabic. There is a possibility, however, that Gov. Roose- velt, because of refraining from co-op- erating now toward a permanent set- tlement, may find about him when he takes office a state of world trade even more difficult to rehabilitate. On December 15 an installment on these debts is due. The debtors ask, H % ~OldCold THROAT 7 EASE ._On request Mr. Hoover must act. If he act in co-operation with Mr. Roosevelt, the two could initiate at once » final program for settlement of the whole question which would have the support of both in Con e however, Mr. Hoover must act alone, he can act only on the immediate detail of the December 15 install- ment. As to that, Mr. Hoover will be limited by the fact Congress will refuse to ratify it standing alone. It is possible that refusal to grant post- ponement may result in defauli by some or all of the debtor governments. It is a possibility at least that default by the greatest nations in Europe, if it takes place, might have a effect on the credit structure of the whole world just at the time when that structure is begin: recover from previous blows. The net of all this is that the choice to be made on Tuesday lies hetween initiating final settlement of the debt question at once, or poning the initiation of settlement until after March 4. The conditions after March 4 seem certain to be less favorable in several Tespects additional to the ele- ment of three months’ time lost.

In an effort to balance the national budget for the 1933-34 fiscal year, the Japanese government may resort to 1 floating bond issues of npgreoximatzly $230,000,000, the Commerce Department was advised by Commercial Attache Halleck A.

Although he has not stmted with whom he will confer after the White House talk tomorrow, it is believed by some of those close to Mr. Roosevelt that his callers will include several independ- ent Republicans who supported him in the recent campaign. Democratic Leaders Here. Many of the leading Democritic members of Congress will be in Wash- ington during Mr. Roosevelt’s 24-hour stay in the city, and it is understood that they will discuss with him not only policies of the incoming administration, but issues that will come before the December meeting of Congress.
