% DEBT TALK CENTERS ON'§4.300,000,00 Terms of Agreement With Britain Raised by Forth- coming Parley. By the Associated Press. When President Roosevelt and Pre- mier Ramsay MacDonald, or whatever spokesman Great Britain chooses, sit down to discuss war debts early in March they will talk about $4,500,- 000,000. That is approximately the figure the United States Treasury reports show Britain owes this country, and unless some adjustment of the debt ag.>ement is arranged b>fore June 15 anothr in- terest payment of about $76,000,000 will be due. Great Britain borrowed approximate- 1y $4,000,000,000 from the United States and with accrued interest at 5 per csnt its total obligation was $4,715,300,000 when a debt funding agreement was reached June 19, 1923, Stanley Baldwin, then chancellor of the exchequer, negotiated the British funding agreement with the American ‘World War Deb: Commission headed by Secretary Andrew W. Mellon. Britain's Debt Terms. Great Britain agreed to repay the whole amount of the loans made to her by the United States and accrued in- terest in 62 annual installments with! interest at the rate of 3 per cent for ' the first 10 years and 3.5 per cent for| the remaining 52 years. This interest reduction is equivalent to a cut of 30.1 per cent on the total debt to maturity as compared with pay- ment at 5 per cent. Great Britain’s annual installments for the first 10 years vary from $159,- 940,000 to $161,400,000, and for the Jast 52 years range from $178,240.000 to $187.350.000. Payments on principal are due Decomber 15 and interest pay- ments are_to be made semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. Great Britain sent a note with its pavment of $95.550,000 on December 15 ¢ last year indicating it would be the ast uniess there be some revision of | 1go to Mr. the debt agreement. In the act of Congress creating the Debt Commission it was stated that the rate of interest in fund'ng sgrecme: €>ould be not less than 4.25 per ce and the commission tried to errangs refunding the debts within 25 years. Approved by Debtors. This was oppesed stoutly by debtors. Stanley Baldwin announ before coming to Washington that ruch terms could not be accepted by Grez Britain, as the annual payments woul be_too burdensome. Lord Balfcur announced the British Policy of favoring the universal can- cellation of interallied debts and Ger- man reparations a year before Great Britain made its funding agreement country. But the United has turned a deaf ear to this proposal. as it ace-pted no repa- rations. All succeeding Biitish govern- ments have approved the Balfour policy and Britain has included it in her sub- sequent debt settlements with former allies, ‘The Lausanne Reparations Confer- enc> last Summer agreed to & cut of approxima! 90 per cemt in repa- rations claims on condition that inter- governmental debt settlements also be Tevised. The moratorium of one year on in- tergovernmental peyments, ceclared in June, 1931, under leadership of Presi- dent Hoover, was resisted by many members of Congress as an opening wedge for debt cancellation. and Con- gress is on record flatly against can- cellation. Roosevelt Against Canceling. President-elect Roosevelt also is against cancellation and opposes Te- vision unless debtor powers will offer trade concessions beneficial to Ameri- can agriculture and labor in exchange for debt reduction. “What have you to offer?” is belleved to be the question President Roosevelt will esk the British representative when they meet in the White House arly in March. €&The President-elect indicated in his campaign speeches that he would in- augurate a tarifl-bargaining policy to widen the opportunities for the products of American farms and factories. The Senate has adopted a resolution calling upon the Tariff Commission and other governmental agencies to supply all the tariff infornmation that might be helpful to the incoming ad- ministration in such & procedure.

BLASSFORDPLANS CAMPNEARCAPITAL Site Is Not Chosen Yet, but Jobless Will Have Garden and Raise Chickens. By the Associated Press. BLAUVELT, N. Y. February 4.— | Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, re- tired, who was chief of police in Wash- ington during the bonus marchers’ visit last Summer and who now describes himself as “just another man out of work,” was the guest today of 200 of his unemployed fellow citizens. He visited the camp in Palisades Interstate Park where are housed 200 homeless and jobless men recruited from the New York City Municipal Lodging House to work on park im- provements. Gen. Glassford visited We camp here to get ideas for a similar camp he plans to establish near Washington this Spring. Hasn't Chosen Site. “I haven't chosen my site yet,” he said, “but I have several under con- sideration. Some of my friends are going to finance it at the start and I'm going to run it myself. “I hope to get started by March 1, in time to get some planting done. We're going to have a good big garden and raise some chickens and try to be self-supporting.” The camp he visited today has at- tracted wide attention since it was opened last December The State Tem- porary Emergency Relief Administra- tion, with the co-operation of the New | York City Welfare Council and the State Park Commission brought the 200 jobless men to Blauveit, put them to work in the park recreation buildings for a dormitory. Since then the men have run the place themselves. The camp is self- supporting, each man paying for his food out of his wages. The cost is about $350 a week. An unemployed r%n?er Army cook was taken on as chef. ‘There was no heating plant in the dormitory, but the men solved that by making stoves out of empty gasoline drums. There is & row of these im- provised stoves down the center of the dance hall, and on either side rows of Army cots. Set Up Canteen. ‘The men do their own bookkeeping and marketing, have set up a canteen, where tobacca and chewing gum are on sale, and govern themselves. In their chats with Gen. Glassford today they were all enthusiastic. “It's not a bad life at all” one of them said. “At least we're getting enough to eat, have a comfortable place to sleep, and have work to do, which keeps our minds off our troubles.” While Gen. Glassford was examining with interest one of the improvised stoves today, James Tiernan of Brook- lyn stepped up to him. “We should have had some of those down at Camp Anacostia last Summer,” Tierman observed. “Were you there?” Gen.

London dispatches disclosing that the British government plans a “campaign of education” about war debts in the United States as a preliminary to dis- cussions in Wi next month coincide with the actual opening of the campaign. During the past few days prominent persons in this country have received a 22-page address delivered on January 19 to Barclay's Bank, London, leading institutions of the British Isles, by Frederick Craufurd Goodenough, its chairman. In the course of a general review of the British and world economic situa- tion, Mr. Goodenough devotes the heart of his address to “the American debt.” It 15 a model of plain speaking. Diplomatic and financial authorities in Washington, who have had access to them, are convinced that the banker’s statements are a reliable index of the “educational” process to which our British cousins are about to subject the American people. Mr. Goodenough does not remotely hint that John Bull is prepared to make concessions in return for American debt favors. | Points of British Case. | The British case, as it is desired to | represent it to the United States, rests | on these main points: 1. That America “does not yet fully realize the truth of the view” that war debts and reparations are indissolubly linked and “must be regarded as one unit,” because, in the settlement of these questions, “the various countries of the world will prosper or suffer to- {gether.” 2. That British finance would hold it be ‘“unreasonable” that the next British installment due at Washington on June 15 should be pald, and suc- ceeding installments also met as they fall due, ‘no matter how long the dis- cussions of the whole war debts pay- ments may be prolonged.” 3. That the question for considera- tion is not only the extent to which Great Britain shall pay, “but also, and rerhnps more important, whether Amer- ca can and will in her own interests and in the interests of the world ac- cept payment.” 4. That if America wishes to receive payment, she must accept it “in the only way in which payment can be made, i. e, in , and, notwith- standing all the difficulties, make pay- :’ne:'lflt possible by a readjustment of ariffs.” Parts of Address. In elucidation of these contentions, the chairman of Barclay's Bank spoke as follows: “The American war debt and the American economic - position present problems more grave than any others now overhanging the world. It has been unfortunate and disappointing that, notwithstanding the good results achieved at the Lausanne conference, America declined to grant a further moratorium for the payment of the war debts installment due on Decem- ber 15, pending a full discussion of the _war debts question as a whole. I would have made matters much easier if she had done so, and would un- doubtedly have paved the way to bet- ter results for all. “The problem of war debts is best approached as a question of facts and not of sentiment. It hinges upon the effect of payment both upon the debtor ! run, would be the best for each. There | has never been any question, so far &s | Britain is concerned, as to whether she will fulfill her contracts or not. The fulfillment of contracts is, and always has been, the essence of British policy and practice. Let us hope for the good of the world that such will always be the case. I have been in entire agree- ment with the policy of the govern- ment in paying the December install- ment of the American debt, but, in the existing circumstances, I feel that the United States will realize that Great Britain should not pay any further in- stallment until the whole matter has been discussed and an agreement for a final settlement has been reached. I think that this is a common-sense view, and one that is honorable. There must be some finality upon & question which 80 vitally affects the present and future conditions of the whole world.” Mr. Goodenough at this point launches into a technical financial dissertation upon the insuperable difficulties which must_arise if Britain is compelled by the United States to drain to the dregs the gold supply of the Bank of Eng- land. “In regard to the future.” the London banker says, “it is not ithpos- sible for Gmeat Britain to hand over to America the 120,000,000 pounds of gold which she now holds as a backing for our currency, but this would only provide for a few installments at Wash- ington, and it would defer for a long [ time, and possibly forever, a return to the gold standard, not only by Britain, but also by those other countries whose currencies are in one way or another linked to sterling. I venture to think that in the eyes of America and in the eyes of the world, such a result would be regarded as an international dis- aster of the first magnitude. The pay- ment, therefore, of further sums in gold may be dismissed as impracticable. “The only alternative to payment in gold is payment in goods, and in dis- cussing this possibility we have to con- sider not only our ability to lpmduce the goods, but also the ability of Amer- ica to receive and absorb them. To- day, quite apart from war debts, Amer- ica_has become a great creditor hation, and if she is to receive payment from her debtors she must, of necessity, for there is no other permanent alternative, arrange to increase her imports or de- crease her exports. Probably both courses will be necessary and this will clearly involve tariff modifications, but if to other payments be added the pay- ment of war debts, something ap- proaching a free trade policy will, in my opinion, be required. Problem Declared Grave. “Is America prepared to make such a change? That will be for America to decide. Will she—can she—face that upheaval to her economic system which & heavy reduction in tariffs, perhaps almost amounting to a free trade pol- icy, would necessitate? It would involve a considerable adjustment of capital and labor and, in the process, a pro- tracted period of unemployment and enormous losses. The problems for America are very grave indeed. She will sooner or later, as I see it, have to choose between adjusting her economic policy and foreg the whole, or some part, of the debts due to her. Either course will involve initial ncré; ces, which are al- ready seriously unbalanced, while on the other, the adjustments of her eco- nomic system, which a substantial re- duction of tariffs would require, increase her difficulties during the pe- riod of transition. “But the tion of the mflon‘ & shown by the past three years, as shown decline in her external and internal trade; the increase in unemployment and destitution, the large number bank failures and the heavy deficits in the finances of several of the leading cities, would seem to indicate the need for a-very careful consideration of the question of future policy. If, adoption of & different course from that pursued hitherto, America could not reach a solution of her own dif- culf but also help recovery through- out the world, any sacrifices she incurs ‘would be small to the bene- fits she would _reap.” (Copyrisht. 10330 4 S and the creditor, and what, in the long { "AR, WASHINGT( Driver Saves Four After Sedan Takes Plunge Into River By the Assoclated Press. and escaped, is four companions would do like- ‘Wise.

PRESIDENT SIGNS FARM RELIEF BILL TO AID 1933 CROPS (Continued From First Page.) presented to the Senate Agriculture Committee as new requests for a chance to testify prevented the hear- ings from closing today as scheduled. Vrooman Backs Allotment. Carl Vrooman of Bloomington, Ill, who was Assistant Secretary of Agri- culture under President Wilson, told the committee he believed that “as a temporary emergency measure the basic principle of the domestic allotment bill is sound economically.” While he said that “no one act of Congress can save the American farmer,” |he indorsed this as a step in the | right _ direction and observed that it “seems to have the approval of the incoming administration and the ma- jor agricultural organizations” and seems to be the only such measure I which “has a chance of passage.” | “Vrooman described it as “the corol- lary of our protective tariff system™ and a plan for giving the farmer bene- fits equivalent to tariff protection. He recommended amendments designed to simplify it and make it more prac- ticable. Opposed by Wickham. a wholly different view, Thomas Y. Wickham, chairman of the Grain Committee on national affairs representing grain and produce ex- changes and boards of trade in va- rious cities, said it would not A\xccoe_d in raising the price of the farmer’s products. “No legislation,” he sald, “can ever improve the price unless it improves the demand for the g , and any legislation that seeks to raise the price without increasing the demand for the oods is attempting to prevent an ef- ’ect without removing the cause, and must fail.” The bill was favored, with various suggested amendments, by Dr. Mordecai | Ezekiel, assistant chief economist of the Federal Farm Board, who said “it can be made to work.” Before another committee, John | Fields, president of the Wichita, Kans., Federal Land Bank, testified that a $1,000,000,000 Federal corporation to lend money to farmers, as is proposed 1in a farm organization bill sponsored by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Dem- ocratic leader, would be “helpful but | i perhaps not to the degree that some hope.” Procedure for Loans. | ! The procedure for farmers who seek | loans under the $90,000,000 crop pro- duction bill follows: | | " Apply by mail either to the Agricul- | ture Department or the closest of its six | regional ofices at Dallas, Memphis, | Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, St. Louis ‘lcr Wasg?ngum‘ for a loan application form. | Forms will be sent or notice given | that applications can be made at points more immediat:ly available, including most county seats where volunteer com- mittees or ficld agents will be desig- | nated to receive applications and assist in filling them out. In the application the farmer must give the legal description of the farm he occupies, the crops he intends to grow for which he seeks nmmclnT aid, the expense he contemplates for labor, seed and equipment, and other facts. Two factors bearing on the applica- | tions remain to be determined. The Secretary of Agriculture has authority to require an acreage reduction up to 30 per cent by borrowers and will an- nounce the requirements later. The maximum of loans, $400 last year, will also be set later. DISTRICT COMMITTEE CALLED BY CAPPER Senators to Consider Variety of Pending Measures Tomorrow at 2 PM. The Senate District Committee has been called by Chairman Capper to meet at 2 p.m. tomorrow to consider a variety of pending measures, including the $25,000 authorization to enable the Commissioners to meet certain expenses connected with the inauguration. This includes the bringing of additional po- lice from Baltimore, & corps of detec- tives from various cities and the making of necessary arrangements for the rm- rade and the handling of traffic during the inaugural period. ‘There is a possibility the committee may consider the bill recommended by the Commissioners to authorize them to borrow not to exceed $2,500,000 from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for emergency relief work whenever public and private funds are inadequate. Another measure that may come up is the Copeland bill to allow quarterly payment of local taxes and to grant ad- ditional time for payment to home owners under certain emergency con- ditions. There are several smaller bills scheduled for consideration. 1932 PITTSBURGH DEATH RATE LOWEST ON RECORD Despite Privations Resulting From Depression, Fatalities Are 886 Under 1981.

Heideman D. C., FEBRUARY 35, INFLUENCE ADDED TOHELPFARMERS Financiers and States Join Efforts to Prevent Fore- closures. By the Assoclated Press, ‘The weight of high finance and Gov- ernment influence was added Saturday in considerabe measure to the farmer's fight to save his land, live stock and machinery from mortgage foreclosure. From a dozen localities came reports of concessions granted by insurance companies and loan concerns, together with attempts by Government agencies to lighten agriculture’s debt burden. ‘The farmers gave no indication, how- ever, of lessening their determination to save their property from foreclosure at any cost. At Wilmar, Minn., 1,000 farmers stood in 22-degree-below-zero weather and helted sale of the farm on which Soren Hanson has lived 57 years. There were no bids, and the sale was postponed a second time for a two-weeks' period. Sees Grave Threat. ‘The first official recommendation in Illinois came when Gov. Henry Horner urged holders of mortgages to “use the utmost forebearance im foreclosing on farms, homes and chattels.” He warned that foreclosures might result in many citizens being dependent on charity. Another Governor, Ruby Laffoon of Kentucky, declared he believed some- thing must be done for owners of farms and homes who are unable to meet mortgage and tax payments. New York bankers, meanwhile, evolved a plan for building up a fund from subscriptions by member banks of the New York Clearing House Asso- clation to provide financial relief. It was suggested the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation might make a loan to_the pool. President Morgan B. Brainard of the Aetna Life Insurance Co., one of the four companies with general offices at Hart- ford, Conn., which recently promised Gov. Clyde L. Herring of Iowa to act with utmost leniency, issued a state- ment saying restoration of commodity prices was the only means of aiding agriculture permanently. Moratorium Granted. Two loan companies at Bowling Green, Ohio, were announced by Presi- dent John K. Chaney of the Farm| Protective Association to have granted one year moratorium in land foreclos- ures. 'The companies recently agreed to a 60-day moratorium. At the JTowa capitol, prospects for foreclosure relief enaciment were brightened by announcement of an agreement in Conference Committee on a compromise proposal under which courts would be authorized to continue an actlon for foreclosure until March 1, 1935, upon application of the mort- gagor.

They were married today in’ the Hyacinth Church, a Roman Catholic father's cattle ranch, whare she spent her childhood. The 38-year-old bride, an attorney herself, found McCarthy, a lawyer at Mankato, aligned with one of the eight male opponents whom she defeated in the primary election last August. McCarthy believed politics was not women’s sphere. Nevertheless, he es- corted her about his native Jewell County and introduced her to its lead: ing Democrats while he was campaign- ing for the State senatorship.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., February 4— Ready to take over the presidency a month from today, Franklin D. Roose- velt sailed out to the open seas from here this morning for his last private vacation. Just before waving a farewell from the quarterdeck of the trim white yacht of Vincent Astor—the Nourmahal—the President-elect disciosed plans to talk with a congressional committee during the British debts negotiations to be taken up at the very outset of his ad- ministration. Still regarding the actual negotiation as exclusively an executive function, it was said Mr. Roosevelt proposes to dis- cuss the progress of the conversations with scme kind of a committee repre- senting the Senate and House. Debt Expert on Trip. Prof. Moley, expert on the war debts problem, accompanied the President- €lect to this port from his Warm Springs, Ga,, retreat where the Roose- velt program for meeting the pleas of the European debtors for relief was pre- pared. But it was good-by to the experts and political leaders once the next President was on board the yacht. Only personal friends, principally distant rel- tives, sailed out of port with the care- free, smiling Roosevelt. He laughingly told the people of this city in a brief talk about another dis- tant relative here—Mayor John T. Al- sop. As the crowd and Alsop joined in the laughter he sald he had discovered that Alsop's fifth cousin married his fifth cousin. Kermit Roosevelt, a son of the late Republican President, Theodore Roose- velt, and George St. George Tucker, both distant relatives, are among guests on the cruise. Other guests are Judge Frederic C. Kernochan of New York City and Dr. Lester Heiter of Mo- bile, Ala. Vincent Astor manned the bridge as the yacht pulled away for its 20-mile | trip ‘down the St. Johns River to the sea. Course Lay With Fish.
