Roosevelt settled down today to a period of rest before tackling the job of work- ing out with Democratic congressicnal leaders the program they will support in this session of Congress. ‘The broad outlines of the program alrcady have been talked over with numerous Demccratic members in the round of conferences the President- clect held while he was in Washington early this week. They call for enact- mant of measures toward governmental economy to balance the budget and farm relief legislation following the general lines Mr. Roosevelt'’s cam- paign speeches. Among the first of the Democratic expected to call upon Mr. Roosevelt early in the week is Senatcr Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader. The last visit the Senator had with the President-elect was at Hyde Park several weeks ago, when Robinson said therc would be no disposition on ;h{ep Lwrt orxnae Democ':l,u to penalize the Democratic ticket.

PARIS, November 25 (P).—A state- ment attributed to Premier Edouard Herriot today asserted that a new pe- riod of negotiations with the United fitates on war debts was about to open. The jer was quoted in the news- paper Nouvelle as declaring Presi- dent's Hoover's reply to,European debt- ors advising them they were expected to pay debt installments in December “Involves in & formidable fashion the whole realm of international politics.” “A _new period of negotiations is ebout to open,” the statement .said, “first with the United States and then with Great Britain. When those nego- tiations are finished, and then only, will the government be in a position to de- cide its attitude. “It is very, very grave.” BELGIUM STILL UNDECIDED. Cabinet Member Denies Report Pay- ment Will be Deferred. BRUSSELS, November 25 () —News- Elper reports that the Belgian cabinet ad virtually decided to defer payment of the $2,125,000 December instaliment on the debt to the United States were denied today by Foreign Minister Hymans. No decision has yet been reached, he said, and the government is still con- sidering the recent declarations by Prumment Hoover l,:gr‘ Go'vél.lllmlmlt. & newspaper ique had said that the majority of the it ministers had decided in principlé to defer the payment and that whatever may be the resdlt of the parliamentary election on Sunday, Belglum is not likely to pay any more than it re- ceives in reparations from Germany. ITALIAN VIEW MODERATE. Rome Will Pay If U. S. Insists, Fascist Press Declares. By Cable to The Star. ROME, Italy, November 25.—The first reaction here in the midst of Europe'’s failure to obtain & postpone- ment of the debt payments due to the United States on December 15 is dis~ tinctly moderate. Italy will r] if the United States insists, the Fascist press says. Then & new deal of some kind probably can be arranged before the next install- ments are due in June, it hopes. Two factors in Italy’s own interna- tional position largely explain the mild- ness of the Fascist reaction. Payment Very Small First, ’s_payment December 15 is very small—$1,245,437.

President Hoover tried once to treat debts as a | factor in positive world politics instead of as a purely transaction, Everybody applauded, but everybod; also completely forgot that the Presi- dent spoke, at the same time, about disarmament. ‘What response did the United States get from Europe to this generous ges- ture? Tevere asks, Europe only con- tinued to play its childish game and pass recolutions at Geneva. How can Europe expect bookkeeping disarma- ment if it refuses to do anything about military and naval disarmament? Whose fault is it if the United States reopens its books and wants more re- | gard for debts as a business proposi- tion? These challenges are stressed Tevere, (Copyriht, 1032.)
