ter 10 o'clock. An effort will be made

animation of Mr.. Pierson on the fig
ures as presented by him and the

pleted.

of Mr.. Pierson, the next witness
called to the stand was Nathan
Margaretten, president of the real
estate firm of Margaretten & Lobel.

tate firm of Schoenceit & Bitter,

APPROVAL
BY HOUSE TODAY

British Debt Settlement to
Four Hours

WASHINGTON, Feb. s-Approval
of the British debt settlement by the
House before night was made certain
today when a unanimous consent
agreement was entered into that

ment and in addition would empower
the American debt commission to
enter into settlements with the other
debtor nations on "similar but not
more favorable terms"
Meyer London, of New York, the
only Socialist representative, an
nounced at the outset of the days
proceedings that he was in favor of
the settlement. A number of leading
Democrats also were prepared to
vote for the bill along with the prac-
tically solid Republican majority.
