I didn’t get it. A man who asks for a mora- torium thereby recogn! his debt, I asked the Chamber to listen to me and follow in the line of reason. I didn’t vote for the Hoover moratorium, but once it was accomplished I considered it part of the moral patrimony of my country.

He expressed regret that the close intimacy between France, Great Britain and the United States, “as close as du ing the war,” had been broken, adding: “I remain faithful to my doctrine that the three great democracies are charged with defending human civilization. They are the protectors of liberty and right and the great moral traditions that make people independent.” Vienna Sees Failure. Vienna reports sald failure of the League loan was expected and that the government already has made prepara- tons to float an ‘nternal loan in its place. Austria expected the money under the League plan by December 1, but the only guarantor to ratify the agree- ment so far has been Holland. In addi-| tion to Great Britain and Prance, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and Czecho- slovakia were expected to participate, but their Parliaments thus far have been silent. It was not until August 23 that Austria itself ratified the conditions of acceptance. There was strong opposi- tion because the country was bound under the agreement to refrain from any economic unity with Germany for 20 years. This was to prevent a revival of "the unsuccessful Austro-German customs union. HOOVER WILL LACK SUFPPORT. Democrats Not Likely to Aid President in Debis Program. By the Assoclated Press. President Hoover apparently will not | recelve Democratic support for his three-fold plan of approaching world | economic difficulties, but nevertheless | he is determined to procéed on his | own initiative in the few weeks re- | maining of his administration. ‘While Congressional Democrats avoided commitments which would hinder their action after March 4, Mr. Hoover and his advisers began a series of conferences in preparation for the proposed international economic meet- ing which the Chief Executive has linked with studies of war debts and disarmament problems. This followed his special message to Congress in which the President said “discussions in_ respect to both debt questions and the world economic con- | ference cannot be concluded during my administration, yet the economic situation in the world necessitates the preliminary work essential to its suc- cess.” “The undertaking of these prelim- inary questions should not be delayed | until after March 4,” he added. ‘There was no official word from Pres- ident-elect Roosevelt, but his friends here and in Aibany were strongly of the opinion he would not co-operate with Mr. Hoover as the latter had sug- gested. Meanwhile, it was regarded as unlikely that any Democratic members of Congress would be available for serv- ice on the commission the President proposes to appoint to deal with debts and co-ordinate that problem with dis- armament and economic discussions. But the fact that Secretaries Mills and Stimson conferred with Mr. Hoo- ver on preparation of a program for the economic parley led to speculation that these two cabinet members might have places on the commission. Stim- son heads the American arms delega- tion to_the Geneva Conference. Mr. Roosevelt'’s reply to the President was understood to be at the White House, but its contents were carefully guarded. The Governor's friends here say they believe he will insist that the responsibility for dealing with war debts lies with the present administration un- il Merch 4, and that he has ideas of his own for meeting the problem. Whether Mr. Hoover will name his commission before leaving at the end of the week on his planned southern vacation was a matter of speculation, Meanwhile, administration leaders watched forelgn reaction to the Pres YOU'RE THE DETECTIVE! solve a ?

Whether disability allowances to vet- erans whose troubles did not originate in service constitute a dole precipitated a dispute before the Joint Congressional | Veterans' Committee today between | William M. Bullitt and Senator Robin- son, Republican, of Indiana. | Bullitt, appearing for the National Economy League, which is urging re- duction of about $450,000,000 in vet- erans’ expenditures, described such pay- |ment as “a pure dole given to a man not because he was disabled, but be- | cause he was once in the service.” | Robinson leaned across the committee table and almost shouted at Bullitt: | “These allowances are not based on charity.

POLAND WILLING TO PAY. Forelgn Minister Declares Country Never Rejected Obligation. WARSAW, Poland, December 21 (). | —That Poland never refused to pay | America was asserted by Foreign Min- ister Joseph Beck at a press reception yesterday. “The government’s attitude on the debt question,” he said, “is well ex- plained in our second note to the United States. Poland wants to meet | her obligations, but wishes a more ad- vantageous form of payment. Poland was one of the first to sign a consoli- dation agreement, and she obtained more unfavorable terms than those na- tions that were financially stronger.” Mr. Beck emphasized that the Polish debts were not war debts, but consti- tuted relmbursement for American re- |llef work in Poland. He said the | amount was too small to be of world | importance. | LONDON BECOMES CRITICAL. Press Finds Fault With President | Hoover's Debt Message. By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 21.—President | Hoover's message to Congress announc- ing & review of the war debt situation today was rediscussed editorially in London newspapers in a somewhat more critical spirit than obtained Tuesday. The President’s decision to initiate discussions regarding the debts was still welcome, and the message was con- sidered, in the words of the Times, as showing @ “much broader and more | realistic _attitude toward the whole problem than has been apparent in any of President Hoover's earlier utter- ances.” Renmklng‘:pprovingly about the in- clusion in proposed discussions of other problems linked with debts, the Times adds: “There appears, how- ever, one striking omission. Summaries of the message nowhere show any al- lusion to the tariff or other measures taken by the United States to prevent the debtor countries from paying in the only normal and practicable way, namely, by goods and services. * * ¢ If the American representatives are ap- pointed to discuss debts and all ques- tions affecting it, they cannot well avoid including in the discussion bar- riers which the United States Govern- ment itself puts in the way of debtors.” The same point is made by the Post in these words: “There is not the least hint that America’s fiscal s in any way connected with the tribula- tions of her debtors. On the oontrary, the President still cl to the im- goulble paradox of tangible fon in the debtors’ markets. These views, if persisted in, would foreshadow an almost hopeless divergence of stand. point in_the negotiations.” ‘The Telegraph also stresses the President’s insistence on com tory benefits as “banging the door on the equities of the problem, while the com- pensations he visualizes would intensify existing disorders.” Admitting that President Hoover moved forward a few 'lPe“” from his previous position, the Telegraph adds: “A woefully wide gap still separates him from the standpoint of debtor countries, end particularly from Britain.” THE EVENING STAR INCREASE IN D. . RELIEF FUND ASKED Witnesses Before House Sub- committee Tell of Desper- ate Plight of Needy. ‘Two definite proposals for increasing the appropriation for reilef work in the District during the coming year above the $1,250,000 recommerded by President Hoover and the Budget Bu- reau, were presented today to the House subcommittee holding hearings on deficiency and supplemental items. The duty of soclety to care for those in need and the real economy of doing this in a businesslike, constructive way with proper organization, was im- pressed upon the subcommittee by leaders in civic life and from the view- point of the trained social worker. The desperate need of an unprece- dented number of people in the Capital was described by those who have in direct charge of distributing relief and helping the unemployed. Witnesses Scheduled. Among the witnesses today, supple- menting the presentation made by Dis- trict officials, civic leaders and welfare workers yesterday, were Commissioner Reichelderfer, George 8. Wilson, direc- tor of public welfare; Walter S. Ufford, representing Associated _Charities and the Monday Evening Club; Miss Louisse McGuire, speaking for the Washington Chapter of the American Association of Social Workers, and Johon B. Colpoys, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee and also representing the Central Labor Union. r. Ufford presented the resolution adopted Monday night by the Monday Evening Club, asking for the full amount of $1.500.000, which the Public Welfare Bureau estimated it would re- quire for relief during the coming year. This amount was reduced to $1,250,000 by the Budget Bureau. Urges $1,900,000 Fund. Miss McGuire, assistant professor of social economics of the National Cath- olic Welfare Council School of Social Science, told the subcommittee $1,- 900,000 is the proper amount that should be appropriated from public funds in co-operation with private charitable contributions to carry out a constructive program. She explained this estimate was prepared by a special committee after an extensive survey of the actusl conditions, based on.the experience of trained welfare workers. Members of the subcommittee, headed by Chairman Byrns, again emprasized that at present only approximately half of the total amount to be appropriated for relief work during the coming cal- endar year should properly be carried in the deficlency bill, because the second half of the year would be under the fiscal year 1934, appropriations for which are considered by another sub- committee drafting the District appro- priation bill. ‘The subcommittee will close the hear- ing today. consicering District relief with in drafting the bill to week.

Instead of urging curtailment of Government operations, Representative Allen, Republican, of Illinois, today told the House committee investigating Gov- ernment competition with private busi- ness should expand instead of limiting its | operations. Allen told members of the commit- tee. headed by Representative Shannon. Democrat, of Missouri, that the plant was equipped to manufacture not only munitions but other supplies needed by the Government, and that stimulation of its activities would result in stimu- lation to the territory about it Another witness, however, F. A. El- lison, director of the National Asso- clation of Uniform Manufacturers, went back to familiar ground by urging abol- ishment of the War Department's fac- tory for manufacturing clothing at Philadelphia. “There can be no question.” he said, “that the War Department is in com- petition with its citizens in private business.” He sald hearings on the Philadelphia depot had not developed “a single sound reason for its continued operation.” o REPRESENTATIVE BUTLER IN SERIOUS CONDITION Recovery of Oregon Legislator From Attack of Pneumonia Is Doubtful.

Prof. Byerly sald the record of his instrument was comparable to that of 1925, when the major part of Santa Barbara, was destroyed by an earth- | quake. Reports from Reno, Ely, Gerlach and Austin, Nevada, indicated the shocks were severe, but no damage except broken windows was known to have | been caused to buildings. Officials of the Western Pacific and Southern Pacif- ic Railroads, operating lines through Nevada, said there had been no inter- ruption in train service nor any damage to roadbeds or rolling stock. Residents at QGerlach denied reports a water tower in that town had been razed. Residents of Rawlins, Wyo.,, felt the shock and persons in Needles, Calif, far to the south on the Colorado River, said the ground trembled. State Capitol Swayed. At Sacramento, Calif., police on duty in the State Capitol building said the structure swayed and creaked. The tallest building in the city, a 16-story office building, swayed noticeably. Many persons in office buildings, hotels and apartments rushed into the streets. The shocks were comparatively light in San Francisco, but. were distinctly felt. In the interior California valleys many communities, including Sonora, Fresno and Modesto, reported distinct tremors. Citles as far south as Long Beach and Los Angeles said the earth- quake was distinctly felt, but caused no damage. @ Motorists in Salt Lake City said that during the shock it seemed as though their machines were being pushed over.
