BRITISH PAYMENTS DECLARED AT END London Banker Warns Added Gold Trarsfers Will Be Impossible, By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, January 19.—F. C. Good- enough, chairman of Barclay's Bank, in his annual report to shareholders to- day commented outspokenly on the war debt owed to the United States and declared the osymen® of further sums in gold may be dismissed as imprac- ticable. This is true, he said, because if Eng- land handed over to America $120,000,- 000 iIn gold, now held as backing for English currency, it would defer for long, and possibly forever, the return to the gold standard, not only by Eng- Jand, but by other countries whose currencies are linked to sterling. Afraid of Disaster. ‘He said he thought America and the rest of the world would regard this as an_international disaster. ““The only alternative to payment in gold is payment in goods,” he as- serted. He said he felt England should not pay a further debt instaliment “until the whole matter has been discussed end an agrcement for a final settle- ment has been reached.” Mr. Goodenough said there never was any question about England's fulfilling her contract, and that he approved of the payment made last December It is unreasonable, however, he de- clared, that England ‘should continue payments pending discussion and set- tlement of the war debts problem. Avers United States Must Choose. “The problems for America are very grave indeed.” he said. “As I see the po- sition she will sooner or later have to choose between adjusting her economic policy and foregoing the whole or some | part of the debts due her. I fully realize the fact that whatever course Amerira may adopt it will involve an initial sac- rifice.” . ROOSEVELT TO CALL EXTRA SESSION TO OPEN APRIL 10 TO 17 (Continued From First Page) 1s little or no chance for passage of re- peal, beer, farm relief and otner import- ant measures on their program before March 4. Plans for enacting budget- balancing revenue legislation were dropped yesterday to await the special session. “Informative” Conference. The White House conference is ex- pected by responsible officials to be Jargely informative in nature, with Mr. Hoover supplying Mr. Roosevelt with his views to supplement the presenta- tion made a few days ago by Secretary of State Stimson Mr. Hoover and the President-elect are now known to be agreed on the American policy in the Far East—the policy of defending the treaties which guarantee China's integrity. War debts and the proposec. world economic con=- ference also may be touched upon, prob- bly in the hope of finding some means ot keeping and exchange of yiews on these subjects active until Mr. Roose- veit takes office. However, an authoritative source re- ported that war debts would “not neces- sarily” come up as a.topic. Indication Wwas given, nevertheless, that this sub- ject might possibly arise during talk of the Geneva arms parley and the projeeted world economic conference. Regarding the economic conference and disarmament questions, Mr. Roose- velt has expressed agreement with the Hoover policy in the main. In their first meeting and subsequent exchange of views, President Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt wecre unable to agree on a method of approaching the debts prob- lem. Advisors to Attend. Secretaries Stimson and Mills will sit in the conference with the President, while Prof. Raymond Moley, his eco- nomic advisor, probably will attend the Democratic_leader. The talk is looked upon in official quarters as serving to forge a link between the two adminis- trations on_international questions. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader; Speaker Garner, Senators Harrison of Mississippi, Byrnes. and Smith of South Carolina, and Representative Collier of Mississippi, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, are among those who likely will discuss the congressional situation with Mr. Roosevelt. Most of them agree that appropria- tion measures. cut sharply in the in- terest of economy, may constitute the bulk of legislation for this session. How- ever, members of both parties are driv- ing to obtain measures looking to an easing of the difficulties faced by bank- rupts and some sort of relief for farm. ers threatened with foreclosures. At the conference tomorrow, Presi- dent Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt will sit down again in front of an open fire- place in the White House red room as they did at their first meeting. Aides at the Executive Mansion to- day arranged the room with its red brocaded walls and red covered furni- ture for uge tomorrow, but were pre- pared to add at least one more chair than at the last conference. A White House car will be placed at the disposal of the President-elect when he reaches the Capital this afternoon. LEAVES FOR CAPITAL. Accompanied by Woodin and Moley. NEW YORK, January 19 (#).—Presi- dent-elect Roosetvelt left this morning for Washington, where he will confer with President Hoover tomorrow. He was accompanied by Norman H. Davis, American delegate to the Geneva Arms Conference; William H, Woodin, president of the American Car & Foundry Co.; Prof. Raymond Moley of Columbia University, and Senator Dill of Washington. Just before he left Mr. Roosevelt re- ceived a call from Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley, who said he would go to Washington tonight. The President-elect spoke lightly of tomorrow’s meeting, saying it concerns things in general and no specific sub- ject in particular. Surrounding him on the trip, however, were his most inti- mate advisers—men well informed on the international and debts situation. Mr. Davis, a former Democratic Un- dersecretary of State, was ordered by both administrations to help prepare the agenda for the forthcoming eco- nomic parley, while Mr. Woodin is an intimate of Mr. Roosevelt and an ex- pert in finance. Prof. Moley has been § close adviser of the Preisdent-elect for some time. There was not the slightest clue from Mr. Roosevelt as to his cabinet, but the close association of Davis and ‘Woodin led to persistent speculation that they would be among members of his official family, with Davis as Secretary of State and Woodin as Sec- retary af Treasury or Commerce, While refusing to join with Mr. Hoover in his syggestion for a Demo- cratic-Republican commission review of the war debts, the President-elect left the door open for preliminary study of this problem and the interrelated is- sues of the economic and disarmament conferences before March 4. ‘There 6 much apparent support for the belief that negotiations are under way. Since it is realized now that this ;coalition Congress is not going to epact the legislation necessary to it is believed Roosevelt, Davis, an&n e’xtm fesfmn. ook ¢ mhin(Aln - Roosevelt and Norris to Study PLAN INSPECTION OF PLANT IN NEAR P plants have been idle for more than a decade. some quarters as indicating Mr. Roosevelt may favor its operation by the Govefnment.

ANTEWAR PARLEY WILL BE MARKED Cause and Cure Conference Delegates Asked to Aid Feb- ruary 6 Celebration. Delegates to the Conference on the Cause and Cure of War were urged this morning to join with the Disarmament | Committee of the Woman's Interna-| tional Organization in Geneva in mak- | ing February 6, the anniversary of the | 1932 Disarmament Conference, a day of commemoration. | In a report read by Mrs. Ben Hooper, recording secretary of the conference, the Disarmament Committee pledges itself to mobilize public opinion throughous the world in celebration of the day. The report requested members of the Conference on Cause and Cure of War to utilize to the utmost publicity | through churches, the press and the theater to make the first anniversary of the ‘conference a day of remem- brance. The report told of a gift of 2000 Norwegian crowns from the Nobel Com- mittee of the Norwegian Parliament in 1932. This grant was voted in the re- sponse to a request sent in September by the treasurer, Mme. Clara Guthrie d'Arcis of Genev Dr. Stephen T. Duggan, director of | the Institute of International Educa: tion, discussed the financial relations between North and South America. He told how the United States had loaned huge sums. “Today about $6,500.000,000 of Ameri- | can money is invested in Latin America, | $2,500,000,000 in loans by banks to gov- | ernments. The remainder invested by | individuals and corporations in all kinds of internal improvements.” He criticized the lacc of care and in- vestigation taken by Zmerican bankers in loans to many South American gov- ernments. He said the deals were con- summated without justification “either from the standpoint of the security of- fered, the objects for which they were made, of the burdens upon the natural resources for the interest and amorti- zation charges.” He thinks it probable that the American investor will lose hundreds of llions of dollars, He concluded by saying that the trou- ble with our relationships to South and Central American countries is that they have been based too strictly on busi- ness, He suggests that a more cul- tural and spiritual grounding of friend- ship would make happier relations. At yesterday afternoon’s session, “friends of peace” were charged with being too submissive and silent by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, honorary chair- man of the conference, who appealed for awakening by the American people. Mrs. Catt said there-are three fronts which shquld be attacked, listing them as follows: “First, balance the national budget by reduction of war costs. When the United States has done this, other na- tions will follow. Why should we spend nearly $3,000,000,000 a year for war, when no war is in sight? “The second front is the need to ap- propriate for the eknenses of the Amer- ican delegation to Geneva, where they should go to finish the work of the Dis- armament Conference. “The third front should be a great shout to the nations of the world from this Nation to reiurn their delegates to | Ceneva, where they should again take | up the .consideratiort of Mr. Hoover's | proposal for a one-third cut in all kinds of armament by every nation of theq world.” “Mr. Roosevelt has been Interviewed on this question,” Mrs. Catt said, “and agrees to support the same proposal. Were this done, some nations might have money enough to pay their debts. Surely these are obviously the first three of the 100 fronts which should be taken for peace.” o Bruce Bliven, editor of the New Re- public, threw a bombshell into the Con- ference in an address delivered late yes- terday at a round table conference when he stated that what is going on between China and Japan now is war and it-is “absurd to call it anything else.” Blivens assailed the League of Nations asserting that as an important instru- ment for the maintenance of peace. it has “been shown up.” He added that the United States is the only nation which has tried to act in accordance with “the League Spirit” by promulgat- mfim ‘Hoover-Stimson doctrine. e speaker charged that “Although China is the aggrieved party by any test which the League or any one else has devised, the authorities at Geneva be- lieve it better to lose China, & weak power with no important friends, than to suffer the resignation of Japan, a ;tflrondx‘ power with exeremely important lends.” He discussed the Lytton report and said that if the League continues to shelve the Far Eastern situation as it has done du the last year, the United States will have to retreat to some extent from the beligerent attitude of the Stimson doctrine, unless she wishes to bring about & war. of the tangled world economic situ- ation. ing today, he took with him [ his favorite rods and reels preparatory to a week of Southern waters To Speak Here BELGIAN SCIENTIST TO DIS- CUSS NEW COSMIC RAY THEORYJ " ABBE GEORGES LEMAITRE. PRATT WILL LEAVE NAVY POST FEB. 28 Formal Orders Issued on Retire- ment of Chief—Filling of Vacancy Expected After March 4. In formal orders the Navy yesterday relieved Admiral William V. Pratt from | his duties as chief of naval operations on February 28. He is to retire because of age that day, but his departure from service just before the Government is turned over to the new administration stirred some speculation on whether the office, high- est naval command, would be filled by President Hoover or would he left open until Franklin D. Roosevelt begomes President four days later. In naval circles the “guess” was that Admiral Pratt’s successor would be left to the new administration as a matter of courtesy. Prominent among those being men- tioned in naval circles for the next chief of naval operations are: Admiral Luke McNamee, on duty recently at the | Navy Departmert, and now commander of the Battle Force of the United States Fleet; Admiral Richard H. Leigh, for- mer chief of the Bureau of Navigation at the Navy Department and now commander in chief of the United States Fleet; Vice Admiral David F. Sellers, commander of battleships of the Battle Force, who was judge advo- cate general of the Navy here until re- cently. and Vice Admiral Willilam H. Standley, commander of cruisers of the Scouting’ Force, who was in Washing- ton a few vears ago as assistant chief of naval operations. Aamiral Pratt proposes to retire to his home in Maine when he leaves the service. TAX SALE BILL WINS INDIANAPOLIS, January 19 (#).— The House of Representatives today concurred in a Senate amendment to the bill declaring a one-year mora- torium on the sale of property on which taxes have become delinquent. The measure now goes to Gov. Paul V. McNutt. ‘Under the provisions of the biil there will be no sales of property on which taxes have become delinquent until the second Monday in February, 1934.

He described it as “the most pleasant, beautiful and satisfying interpretation of cosmic radiation.” Lemaitre received his degree tor of philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1925, and during his present trip has visited Hi vard Observatory and lectured Princeton and Johns Hopkins Unives sitles and at the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology.

GOLD FIND S.TARTS RUSH ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., January 19 () —The discovery of gold bearing ore on a highway east of here started a rush of amateur prospectors that al- most ruined the road.

The bill as passed by the House would apply to wheat, cotton, tobabco, rice, peanuts, dairy products and hogs. Committee sentiment today showed itself in favor of reducing this list and President-elect Roosevelt has taken the position that the bill should be confined to wheat and cotton for a starter.

Ufford Reports Group Cared for 1,626 Families in December. ‘The burden of the Associated Chari- ties continues to grow, it is shown in relief statistics for December, 1932, as compared with the preceding month. In a statement today, Walter 8. Uf- ford, general secretary of the Associated Charities, reported that the organiza- tion took €are of 1,626 families during December, an increase of 28 over No- vember. Expenditures in December to- taled $24,425.59, as against $22,449,88 in the preceding month. In December, 1931, the expenditures of the organiza- tion totaled $18,085.14 and in November of the same year, $14,967.64. Resources Exhausted. Heavily increased demands for relief, sterted earlier in the Winter last year, can be traced to the unemployment | situation and the gradual exhaustion of all resources, according to Mr. Ufford. Many heads of families who were un- | employed in 1931 had savings accounts, homes, life insurance policies and othzr resources upon which they could draw, but, by the beginning of the present Winter, these resources had been ex- hausted and more and more people were compelled to ask for help. { Little change in the burden imposed | upon the Associated Charities was mads | by the granting of District funds for | use by the emergency relief division of | the Board of Public Welfare, Mr. Uf- ford pointed out. Under the rules laid down by the Commissioners this Emer- gency Committee cannot give relief to single men, and by single men is meant, as well, any married man who has sent his family from the city. The com- mittee does not employ able-bodied men | | over 60 years of age; does not take | workers who were not employed resi- dents of the city before July 1, 1931, | and, of course, has no provision made for the unemployable and the ill.

Mr. Ufford said yesterday. “We feel that we owe an obligation to the public to care for those in need, but no one has yet discovered any method of stretching a charity dollar any further than one spent in the regular course of events, and we can only grant such ! relief as is permitted by our funds.” Indications for January so far, Mr Ufford said, are that the relief demands will be still greater than they were in December. : Bride for Former | | D.
