(Continued Prom First Page.) & default,” Mr. Roosevelt said he had ! granted an urgent British request for | a review of its existing debt agreement and had suggested to tne London gov- | ernment that it bring its proposals to | Washington at a convenient date for| discussion, the result to be laid before Congress for decision. These developments were contained in the formal note from London and a supplemental statement by the Presi- dent, made public last evening simul- taneously with the explanatory speech in the House of Commons by Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain. The congressional response was im- ‘mediate and loud. In the Senate, gegular Republicans challenged the “development as “a breach of faith” std @ “plain default on a plaln promise.” Administration men and Republican in- dependents sprang to the defense. Sen- ator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader, denounced the criticisms as evi- dence of an effort to keep Congress in session to hinder the President’s handling of the debt question and to impair the American delegation’s in- Sfluence at the London Economic Con- ference. Great Britain's note contended con- fnued payment of the debts would tend | to restrain trade revival and nullify lhei efforts of the London conference. { The American reply said the Wash- fngton Government could not agree as go the relation of the debts to world Jrade, asserted Mr. Roosevelt had no uthority ta change the funding agree- | ents, and emphatically reminded +Great Britain that a final decision must Fest with Congress. Mr. Roosevelt’s accompanying state- jment, in view of the recent develop- Jdments at Landon, reasserted that under no circumstances will the United States assent to a discussion of the debts at she conference. “The American delegates have been instructed not to discuss debts with the representatives of any of the debtor governments,” he said. “This is in accordance with the further principle that I have felt important, that the debts be considered on their merits and separate from other international eco- nomic questions.” During the debate at the Capitol which followed publication of the notes, Great Britain was sharply criticized Jor raising the ‘debts issue at the Lon- don Economic Conference. Senator Republican, of Indiana, ‘wpened the debate. “This is the same Chief Executive,” said the Indianan, “who takes $400,-| 000,000 from the veterans and under- | takes today to take 10 per cent from, Great Britain, following the program of the House of Morgan, Wall Street | and organized wealth. So long as the | President listens to Wall Street, that’s all we'll get from Great Britain.” { Majority Leader Robinson replied by describing the speech of the Indiana| Senator as the beginning of an attempt | %o delay the adjournment -of Congress | and an effort to impair the President's ‘handling of the debt question and the ‘American delegation’s influence at the London Conference. He said the $10,000,000 payment did not mean yielding on the balance, and the President from the beginning had *recognized that he has no authority to alter in the sutgm the e:i!:tl‘:lg arrangement respec e war debts.” s:nfwr Borah of Idaho, ranking Re- publican of the Foreign Relations Com- | mittee, asserted the President had not changed the American debt policy in | the slightest. | “The British government owes the talance just the same,” he said, “or, in other words, in accordance with the ferms of the contract. It is true the President said he would mnot char- acterize the failure to pay the balance as a default, but that does not change the relationship.” Taking issue with Borah and the Pemocratic leader, Senator Reed, Repub- Jican, Pennsylvania, called the payment & “breach of faith, a dishonorable thing ‘®nd a plain default on a plain promise.” Senator Black, Democrat, Alabama, fold Reed, “We got part of the debt, but der the (Hoover) moratorium we got ne.” Senator Johnson, Republican progres- sive from California, who supported Mr. Roosevelt for the presidency, came to #is defense and assailed Ramsay Mac- Donald’s injection of the debt question into the London conference as “bad gnanners” and “bad sportsmanship.” | “Great Britain could have paid and ghould have paid,” Johnson said. “I have no criticism of the President for | yecelving the sum paid on account. I have no criticism if the statement was | plainly made that it was a matter within the jurisdiction of Congress glone and Congress had the right to | ‘determine whether there should be can- feellation or reduction.” | Another congressional veteran, Sen- or Glass, Democrat, Virginia, entered ‘the debate before it closed with a dec- Jaration he concurred with Johnson, | %ut would postpone his discussion until | & more “appropriate time.” WOMEN ARE URGED | TO READ PAPERS| | ®frs.

LONDON, June 15—Warm appre- ciation ot his part in-debt negotiations was accorded President Roosevelt in | newspaper editorials today welcoming | the latest developments as relief from prolonged tension and as removing a barrier to the success of the World Economic Conference. “Nothing could be more satisfactory than the settlement,” said the Times. “Its supre ne merit is that it is neither | a default, which is unthinkable, nor a payment in full, which wouid have stultified the whole professed purpose of the World Economic Conference. | * '+ * Roosevelt will receive in the whole | world immense credit for the vision and | | ment due today was cabled to Wash- FRANCE DEFAULTS BY the Associated Press. PARIS, June 15—France’s formal default in the $40,000,000 debt instal- ington this afternoon after Premier Daladier had given an 11th hour re- consideration to the whole problem. The note Ambassador De Laboulaye was asked to deliver to the American administration, persons close to the premier said, will pave the way toward an ultimate settlement of the debts problem by making it plain that France reccgnizes her obligation but is forced to “defer” the $60,000,000 in principal and interest including the instalment due December 15. It was said that the note refers to the Laus2nne reparations agreement of a year ago, indicating the hope for a 90 per cent discount in the French debt to America. A miniature cabinet meeting was conducted in London yesterday where the debts situation was discussed and reviewed in the light of all possibil- ities, particularly as regards the British “token” payment, because it was feared the French situation would become worse as a result of the British action. This final view was too late to stir Parliament into action and, it was said, j debt or its terms of payment. further, the British negotiations will serve to pull France's chestnuts from the fire. The opinion was expressed that the French are confident they will be treated on.the same basis as England in subsequent negotiations between the United States and Great Britain re- gardless of the defaults which have been laid to the door of the French Parliament.

LONDON, June 15 (#).—The next step in the Anglo-American war debt situation will bz the formation of a debt mission to Washington, but no courage with which. in the face of domestic difficulties, he brought a Hope for Final Settlement. Paying a tribute to Roosevelt’s “courage and wisdom,” the Daily Tele- i ducted the recent negotiations “almost | justifies the hope that the future con- | {ference for settlement will be in the | nature of a final conference upon war | indebtedness.” The Daily Mail, asserting that Roosevelt “accepted the British pay- ment in the most generous and states- manlike spirit,” said he earned the gratitude of the whole world. The News Chronicle said: is | compromise does mot settle the crisis, | but postpones it, and it offers the ‘World Economic Conference an oppor- | tunity to provide the President with | a substantial return in the way o(i trade recovery to offer American opin- | jon as the basis of final liquidation o(i the debt.” | The Daily Herald said: “Thanks largely to Roosevelt, the June debt crisis is over, but the whole debt question | must be settled long before December or | another crisis will be upon us.” SITUATION UNCHANGED. Paris Papers Hold Debt Deadlock Is Much Where it Was. PARIS, June 15 (#).—That the British payment leaves the debt dead- lock much where it was appeared the general opinion of French commenta- tors today. Petit Parisien declares that “appear- ances have been saved, but the problem subsists.” “Pertinax,” writing in L'Echo de Paris, said the British action of June 15 completes what the French action of December 15 began adding that “the courageous conduct of Roosevelt re- paired in some measure the injury caused Germany's creditors by Hoover.” The Leftist Oeuvre urged a Roosevelt message to the people telling the truth of the debts to “choke the poison of international economics.

At that time he was chancellor of the exchequer.

TWO PAY DAYS IN JUNE FOR FIELD EMPLOYES Agriculture Department Will Con- “tinue System Unless It Causes Too Much, Trouble. By the Associated Press. Department of Agriculture employes in the field are being paid twice in June instead of once a month as cus- tomary heretofore. Differing from other departments of the Government, it has always paid its field forces once a month. It has decided to experiment to see if the employes could be paid twice & month without causing too much trouble. Also the action would cut in half the amount of money that would have to come out of the 1934 appropriation for 1933 salaries. If the employes were paid on June 30 for the entire month, the checks would not be cleared until July and would be charged against the depart- ment cash withdrawals funds. By pay- ing twice in June only half of the amount will be left to be paid out of the 1934 appropriation. Department officials said if the change did not cause too great an ex- pense and too much trouble it would be continued. | Snake Routs Woman Editor.

GICHNER IRON WORKS, INC. 1214 24th St. N.W. WEST 2420 STAR, Roosevelt’s Debt Statement Opposed to Economic Conference Taking Up War Obligations. In connection with the exchange of British and American notes on debts | the President made the following state- ment yesterday. “The British Government has today | anounced a payment to the United States of $10,000,000 with a note indi- cating that this payment is to be con- | sidered ‘as an acknowledgement of the debt pending a final settlement.” “It has in its accompanying note | pointed "t circumstances that have | induced it > take this action. “Such paynent does not, of course, in any sense prejudice the freedom of | either government in any subsequent discussion of the entire debt question | which will take account of this and other debt payments. “1 announced in November, 1932, a policy to the effect that a debtor may at any time approach a creditor with representations concerning the _debt and to ask for readjustment of the Under such circumstances the debtor govern- | ment makes such representations as it deems of importance with respect to the desirability of any readjustment in the terms already agreed upon. “The British government availed it- self of this principle following the pay- ment of the December 15 payment and 1 had informal discussions concerning the debt with the British Ambassador even before my inauguration. “On the occasion of the visit of the | rime minister of Great Britain in April | urther exploraton of the subject was made by us and additional discussions were held by the experts of the two governments. Will Avoid Discussion. “Time and circumstances would not permit any definitive conclusions in these discussions, because at the mo- ment both governments were vitally concerned in making preparation for the World Monetary and Economic Con- ference in London. “It seems the part of fairness and wisdom to postpone formal representa- tions on the debt subject until later. “Meanwhile the World Economic Conference is beginning under favor- able auspices, and it is virtally neces- sary that during the opening days of the conference difficult and’ possibly protracted discussion of the debts be avoided. “In a spirit of co-operation, I have | as executive, noted the representations of the British government with respect to the payment of the June 15 install. ment, inasmuch as the payment made is accompanied by a clear acknowledg- ment of the debt itself. “In view of those representations and of the payment, I have no personal hes- itation in saying that I do not ch: ;mme the resultant situation as a de- ault. “Beyond this the law and the Con- stitution do not permit me to go. The American public understands clearly that the settlement under which these debts are now being paid was made under the authority of Congress and that Congress alone has the right to alter the amount and method of pay- ment of this debt. “PFurther than this, the Congress in December, 1931, in approving the mora- torium in June of that year, specifically set forth that the debt should not be canceled or reduced. “Under my constitutional power, and in_accordance with the terms of the policy which I have set forth, I can entertain representations of the British government concerning the entire debt settlement and the British government has requested that such opportunity be afforded. Doesn’t Include Debts. “I have, therefore, suggested to them that such representations be made in ‘Washington as soon as convenient. “As a matter of information to the American public, I want to make it clear that the Economic Conference now being held in London does not include in its program any consideration of the debts owed by various governments to the United States. “The American delegates have been instructed not to discuss debts with the representatives of any of the debtor governments. “This is in accordance with the further principle that I have felt im- portant, that the debts be considered on their merits and separate from other | international economic questions. “I have further informed the British government that such representations and suggestions as may be made to me by the British representatives, when they discuss the problem in Washington, will be submitted to the Congress for information and consideration when the Congress next meets.” Text of British Note.

Sir Ronald Lindsay's note to the State | D In reply to the note handed to me | by the State Department on June 9 I am directed by my government to make the following communication to | { you: “It will be recalled that the general views of his majesty’s government in the United Kingdom on war debts and on their relation to present world dif- ficulties were explained in notes ex- | (l:hnnxed in November and December ast. “His majesty's government at that time decided to make payment of the amount due on December 15, but they indicated clearly that this payment ‘was not to be regarded as a resumption of annual payments contemplated by the existing agreement’ and they an- nounced their intention of treating this payment ‘as a capital payment of which account should be taken in any final settlement.” Cites Abnormal Times. “Finally they pointed out the proce- dure adopted ‘must obviously be excep- tional and abnormal’ and they urged upon the United States Government ‘the importance of an early exchange of views with the object of concluding the proposed discussions before June 15 next in order to obviate a general break- down of existing inter-governmental agreements.’ “His majesty’s government in the United Kingdom adopted this proced- ure because they recognized the peculiar position in which the then United States administration was placed and the impossibility of their undertaking any effective discussion of the problem at that time. “His majesty’s government acted, however, on the understanding that the discussion would take place with- out delay, upon the provisions of the existing agreement in all its aspects, | 80 as to arrive at a comprehensive and final settlement and in the belief that payment on December 15 would greatly increase the prospect of a satisfactory approach to the whole question. Anxious to Find Accord. “Negotiations were accordingly start- ed even before the new administration was inaugurated; and his majesty's government in the United Kingdom have been most anxious to pursue them as rapidly as possible, “‘On the occasion of the prime min- ister’s visit to Washington the Presi- dent and his advisers made preliminary explorations as to the basis of & clearer understanding of the situation. For reasons not within the control of either government, however, it has not yet been possible to arrive at a definite conclusion of these negotiations. “A speedy conclusion is, however, urgently needed. The treatment of in- ter-governmental obligations must closely affect the solution of the prob- lems with which the world conference has to-deal, because they cannot be sep- influences which have brought the world to its present plight. “Por instance, it is generally agreed that one of the first and the most essential of our aims should be to in- crease the general level of commodity prices. It may be recalled that after the Lausanne Conference there was a marked tendency for prices to rise, but that this tendency was reversed -when the prospects of a final settlement of inter-governmental obligations receded, while the December payment was ac- companied by a sharp fall in prices which was felt in America at least as much as in Europe. Experience, there- fore, appears to show that the effect of | these payments upon prices is very direct. Urges Conference Action. “In the opinion of his majesty’s gov- ernment it is essential for the success of the conference that the delegates should not be hampered and harassed by doubts about the possibility of a satisfactory settlement of war debts. “Payment of a further installment of | evitably be to mean that no progress whatever had been made to- wards such a settlement and would, therefore, deal a damaging blow at the conference of the delegates. “In the circumstances and in view of the debt at this juncture would in- Judged WASHINGTON, D.

Since, however, this does not aj r to have been found possible, his majesty's government are obliged to decide upon their course of action. “Such a decision must in any case be of an extremely difficult character and in considering it his majesty’s gov- | ernment have felt their deep responsi- bility not only to their own people, but to the whole world which is await- ing the deliberations and recommenda- tions of the conference with the ut- most anxiety.
