Cancellation was specifically opposed in the report, which said, however, that the American Government, on “satis- factory proof” of economic conditions materially altering the bases of existing debt agreements, should “negotiate such modifications * * * #s may be found in the interest of world recovery and.the American taxpayer and producer.” “If the United States makes further adjustment of the terms of the debt settlements with the European debtor governments,” the report continued, “such adjustment must not throw the undiminished tax burden upon the American taxpayer. “Most important among the measures of relief which can be brought to ihe American taxpayer, and the taxpayer of all countries, is a substantial re- duction of armament. Neither the in- terested debtors nor the rest of the world should look to the United States to forego debt payments without as- surance that such armament reduction will be achieved. “A further measure of relief, which in amount can equal or exceed the re- lief through reduction of armaments, can be brought about through opening of foreign markets to American trade on fair competitive terms. In our opinion, the United States Government, in any further negotiations with foreign debtor countries with reference to ad- justment of debts, should seek such treatment for our trade as to accom- plish this purpose.” Favors Reasonable Tariff. “The payment of international obliga- tions and the maintenance and develop- ment of international commerce.” the committee concluded, “can be facilitated by the enlightened policy and action of government. The world economic con- ference in 1927 urged the removal of excessive trade restrictions and exces- sive tariffs. We are on the eve of an- other international economic con- ference. “While not in any degree urging de- parture from the policy of reasonable protective tariff for the United States, for which the National Chamber stands committed, we would urge in the in- terest of world recovery and for the benefit of American producers, traders and investors, the effective co-opera- tion of the United States Government in world efforts to remove all unneces- sary and excessive barriers to interna- tional commerce.” Signing the report besides Strawn and Traylor were Julius H.

In a matter of such importance there must be allowed no opportunity for misunder- standing or failure to reach conclusions satisfactory to both governments and eoples. “With this end in view, you will permit me to recall very briefly some of the essential conditions and limitations which would control on the part of this {Government such a review and might affect its result. Not only is there re- served to the Congress of the United States the ultimate decision in respect to the funding, refunding or amend- ment of these inter-governmental obli- gations under consideration, but the Congress in the past has itself provided the machinery in the shape of the World War Foreign Debt Commissiop for the investigation of the facts and for making recommendations upon which such action might be taken. The Executive might recommend, but the facts and evidence were submitted to and the decision was made by the Con- gress, acting through this machinery. “I am not oblivious of the fact that the world-wide depression and the con- current fall of prices has increased the weight of debts in many parts of the world; nor to the fact that the decrease in international trade has increased the difficulties of obtaining foreign ex- change.

Roosevelt has yet seen this par- ticular plan, Democrats in his confi- dence say he has in mind a radical de- parture from the present organization of the executive office. The fact that the Democratic party is confronted by the greatest patronage rush Washing- ton has ever seen, in view of the politi- cal turnover in the midst of hard times, is recognized as necessitating some de- vice to deflect much of this pressure hgl; the new President when he takes office. Could Save President’s Time. With 314 Democrats in the House and 56 in the Senate, it is believed that an assistant to the President, if a per- son of prestige, and in charge of all ‘White House public relations under the President, would be able to relieve the Executive of much needless interview- ing and leave him more time for formu- lating his policies and sending for the advisors he wants to see. ‘The plan, as devised, is described as going considerably beyond that, how- ever. For one thing, it takes into account Gov. Roosevelt’s known de- ment bills—are based on a continua: ticn of the “legislative furlough” sys- tem of cutting Government salaries 8% per cent. Budget estimates submitted carry that percentage cut throughout the entire Federal service. Budget Estimates Cut. Since the budget figures were sub- mitted to the House Appropriations Committee to be worked upon in ad- vance of the formal presentation of the budget to Congress by the President, and fcllowing the economy conference of the President with his cabinet more than a week ago, the earlier budget esti- mates have been quite heavily cut, espe- cially in the figures for the postal rvice. ‘While the budget items are all still held strictly secret, the hearings held thus far have shown considerable feeling among members of Congress that the Budget Bureau should be a legiclative rather than an executive agency, because the members of the President’s cabinet, who are the departmental heads, are closer to the Executive than the chief cf the Budget Bureau. An effort may be made shift in the budget system as a part of the plan for efficlent economy through reorganization of the Government service, Some cof those w] tending the hearings are pointing out that the President failed in the budget this year to take account of economies ordered in the economy bill passed at the close of the last session and im- pounded.

By the Assoclated Press. CARSON CITY, Nev., November 26.— Arrangements were completed at the State Penitentiary today for the execu- tion in the lethal chamber Monday of Everett T. Mull. formerly of Mor- town, N. C., who shot and killed go‘!en C. O'Brien at Las Vegas more than a year ago. . tead of at sunrise, as has been the custom at previous executions, Mull will be put to death at 6:15 a.m., approxi- mately one-half hour before sun up, Warden Matt Penrose announced. Tests this week convinced the warden, he said, that spectators can better witness the execution at that hour with the aid of electric lights than they can in the half-light of the dawn. A deadly acid gas, generated by spill- a powerful chemical into an acid ution, will be the means whereby the State exacts the extreme penalty. Four men already have been put to death by this method. Each became unconscious at the first inhalation and all heart ac- tion stopped within 15 minutes. Death to each apparently was painless.

Before conferring with the experts, M. Herriot cabled to Paul Claudel, French Ambassador at Washington, asking for clarification of the coded text of the Americen note as it was received here. There were some blanks in that text. Al it was semi-officially an- nounced that the government had not yet decided whether to send a supple- ,mentary momorandum to Washington. ithe newspaper Excelsior predicted that ’\cnogune would be tnken.ld‘ odl};: meet‘; , the newspaper sal ‘would resul in the draft of a French note to be submitted to the cabinet Monday. This note probably would be delivered, the paper continued, after the British gov- ernment had delivered its new note on the same subject, and, although the text of the two documents would not be concerted, it was possible that they would advance the same legal and fac- tual arguments. Leftist Organ Comments. L‘Ere Nouvelle, Leftists organ, com- mented that Prance had stated the war debt problem in one way and America in another.

Members Might Approve. Nevertheless, it is pointed out, there are many members of Congress who would feel differently about this than if they were to be sidetracked by one with the rank of secretary. Frequently, it is explained, members of Congress are perfectly satisfied to be able to regon to a constituent that they have taken up his matter “with the White House.” In the present White House organ- ization there are four secretaries, with one dealing primarily with members of Congréss, another with the press and the public generally, a third with the President’s speeches and a fourth with his more personal correspondence. Gov, Rocsevelt, so far as known here, has given no intimation of his plans for the new White House set-up, even to the extent of approving or disap- proving the enlarged secretariat plan developed by President Hoover. Up to comparatively recently there was only one secretary to the President. Presi- dent Coclidge had two. The under- standing among Mr. Roosevelt's close advisors in Washington is that if he has more than one secretary they would not be co-equal.

Each country undertakes in the treaty ‘ncver to resort to arms against the | other, either alone or in conjunction { with a third power, and each promises i to respect the territories under the govereignty of the other. ‘The pact also provides that if a third | power attacks either of the signatories, the other will aid the aggressor neither. directly or indirectly. And neither France nor Russia will make any inter- national agreement hampering the come merce of the other or interfering with the granting of credits. Commercial Pact Planned. Diplomatic circles attached consider« able political importance to the pacts as it was learned that negotiations have just been begun in Paris for a Russian commercial treaty. France therefore is planning to increase her exports to Russia, Press comment, in addition to em- phasizing the importance of the agree- ment as an instrument of stability, declared that it offset the Soviet treaty with Germany because it obtained Rus- sian neutrality. Russia never would aid any power which attacked France, these commentators pointed out. The Moscow government agreed in the treaty to refrain from propaganda - in France and Prench colontes. All. propaganda_efforts have been stopped, it was said, in Tunis, Morocco and-' Indo-China. According to an interpretation fure *| nished by official sources, Russia also will abstain from protecting, aiding or aamitting to Russian soil members of organizations pretending to repre- sent France or French colonies, such as the “Young Tunislans” and the “Young Annamites.” White Russians who have taken refuge in France will * be permitted to remain here, providing they are not armed. Delayed for Rumania. An official spokesman said France had delayed in signing because of the non-aggression pact negotiations be= tween Rumania and Russia. These ne= gotiations have beea interrupted, but Rumania has informed France that ine terruption was no reason for holding up the Pranco-Russian accord. In the interest of Rumania, France requested Russia to make a declaration that the Soviet respected the Briand- Kellogg pact and consequently would’ abstain from any recourse to_arms over geustions pending between Russia and Rumania. This was lained as an allusion to the Russo-Rumanian dispute over Bessarabia, now held by Rumania. Lot The conciliation convention, cally a copy of the similar agreemen between Germany and Russia, provided for a permanent conciliation commis~ sion which will meet regularly. ———— KILLED AT COLOSSEUM German Newspaper Man Dies in Fall From Roman Monument, ROME, November 26 (#)—The an< cient coloseum, most stupendous monu- ment of ancient Rome now was revealed as the scene of a 2 today when the body of Otto Kahn, German defit, was ntngper corTespon fohml;lc at the e of the huge amphi« eater.
