Washington Surprised

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Dec. 5.-London re- ports that the British government expected to address an inquiry to Washington and Paris, asking in- formation regarding the funding of the French war debt to the United States, were received today with marked surprise by officials in close touch here with the debt funding situation,
 It was said authd itatNely that TO intimation had co ne from London, or from British embassy quarters thus far indicating that the London foreign office proposed to take such a step.
 It was asserted also that much of the agitation on the part of the London press, expressing fears that the French would be accorded more favorable terms of settlement than had been allowed Great Britain, was unwarranted. .
 The conferences held SO far be- tween Secretary Mellon and Jules Jusserand, the retiring French ann bassadOr, 1t was said, had been con- fined largely to an exchange of in- formation regarding the attitude of their respective governments on the question of debts, and had been of a purely Informal nature.
 II even is the impression of some officials that the French government has not empowered it's ambassador to attempt any actual negotiation, but rather has instructed him 10 feel out the Washington government on the question, 80 that upon his return to Paris he can give his sue cessor and French finance officers detailed information, which would be of value to them at a later time or whenever actual negotiations ar opened.

Former Boston Dist.
 Atty. Says He Was Dropped Because He Would Not Be Bossed.
Insists He Enforced Law Without Discrimination Declares Many Claims Can Be Proved as False Accusations.


 Boston, Dec. 5. - Robert 0. Har- rs, former judge Of the superior court. who was removed as United States district attorney at Boston by an order of President Coolidge on Wednesday, today broke his si- lsnce and said he had had to "en- gage in 2 contest with mere guer- Has and hushWhackers who have not had courage enough to come into the open and let me have a square shot at them"
 Asserting that he was Ignorant Of the charges against him, he said he had been informed that the real basis for my removal is my refusal to remove without cause (!n fact without cause) an efficient and loyal assostant against whom no specific charges have been made"
 Will Not be Bnssed.
 r. has been generally understood that MT. Harris conduct Of prohi- bition enforcement cases did not meet with approval of department of justice heads at Washington. On the subject of law enforcement, his prepared statement said that he had insisted that the law was the guide, without discrimination, and so far as l have been urged to do things that seemed to me to be H. legal CT unjust. 1 have refused to act in accordance with somebody's whim."
 Mr. Harris said he had letters from Mrs, Mabel W. Willebrandt, assistant attorney general in charge of prohibition enforcement, 'wHch if presented to any reasonable body Of sane minds will convict her of absolute misstatements knowingly made"
 He had sought repeatedly to learn the charges against him, and who his sccussrs were, he said, but was refused the information.
 Some Claims False
 He had been given part of sum- mary of charges, prepared by Mrs. Willebrandt and Assistant Attorney General Rush l.. Holland, the de- posed district attorney said, some of the matters contained In these are absolutely false, capable of being proved false by the records of the court here," he declared.
 Describing the difficulties of his office, when the superiors in the department at Washington are de- termined to prevent its successful administration Mir Harris said:
 "A combination between boot leggers and temperance people vas q hard proposition for respectable man to meet, one wanted him fired because they could not get protec- lion and the other because they could not get their way before the court, l have been unfortunate in the respect that I have had in my office, disloyalty of the most irri,a- ting kind and from the evidence at hand disloyalty encouraged and promised it's reward for disloyalty by the department itself in Wash lngton.
 "As prosecuting officer of this district, l have endeavored to. and believe I had succeeded in having the law enforced lawfully. I am aware there is tendency In the community to insist upon 1t that law shall be administered neither according to its text or its spirit, but according to the mental attitude of some person or persons who want to accomplish certain objects Of their own regardless of whether 1t is legal, fair or just This tendency I have had to meet and this ten dency I have opposed"

ENGLAND WORRIED OVER DEBT FARLEY Wants to Know How U. s, Is to
 Treat France WILL MAKE INQUIRIES
Opinion in Great Britain Is That They shoulud Receive the samo Treatment As French. Since Debts Were For the Same Cause.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Dec. 5.-The British gov ernment. 1t was stated in official quarters today. is expected to ad- dress 8 note to the American and French governments in the next few days requesting those governments to inform Great Britain what steps nave been taken or are anticipated in settling the French war debt tn the United States.
 Think Inquiry Natural
 such inquiries. it was stated, were natural after the recent statements made both in Frence and in the United States regarding preliminary negotiations 10 such a settlement. as Great Britain not only was unin- formed of such steps but never has been approached on the subject of any settlement of the French war debts to the British government.
 Frances debts to Great Britain amount to f623 100000, compared were E79S,000,000 owed by France to the United States. It is pointed out by an official spokesman that Great Bria!n has a right to expect seeing the sums are almost tdenti- cal and were obtained for the same cause, that the British government receive the same treatment from France as any other nation in this angled problem of interallled debts.
 The British financial ministry is necessarily bound to follow public opinion largely in the matter of debts, it is stated, and Great Brit aims actions in this particular case are guided by what the man in the street thinks and wants

Commerce Secretary
 Thinks Degree Of Authority Over Radio
 Is Enough At Present.
Is of Opinion That U. s.
 Should Not Hamper Wireless Until Period of Pioneering Is Over.

Washington, Dec, 6.--secretary Hoover has withdrawn his support from legislation pending in congress for full federal regulation of the radio.
 In letter today 10 Chairman White of the house merchant ma. rine committee, Mr. Hoover sug4 gested that at the present time con- gress should only amend the pres@ ent statutes giving the commercs department Q degree of control over wireless communication.
 Explains Reasons.
 4 general measure regulating ra.a dio, in the preparation of which Ars Hoover and other commerce depart. ment officials co-operated. is on the house calendar. It's provisions re- suited in large degree from radio conferences held by the department during the last two years, and Mrs Hoover strongly urged its enactment during the last congress.
 He wrote to Chairman White to. day. however. that the rapid change in the art of radio communication during recent months, and the probe ability of continuous change in tn ability of continuous change ill ths federal regulation should be estab- lished at least until the pioneering period in radio is over.
 pronoSpS New NIeaSura
 T am enclosing herewith a sag- gestion of a very short bill clarifying the powers of this department as to radio regulation as to inference" said Mir. Hoover's letter Tt does not pretend to confer complete reg ulatory authority, nor does it cover many matters which must sooner or later receive legislative attention. It is intended only 10 enable the de- partment to retain firm control of 8 situation which Is very rapidly chang- ing, in which there are some eIe- ments of danger. If such a bill is passed it will give time for more consideration of the whole subject.
 "The short bill proposed will re- enforce the fundamental situation so that no public damage can result from delay, whereas much public advantage might result from q, fur ther clarity of our knowledge as to the application of this new system of communication. As you are aware there is no monopoly in the radio world at the present time, there be- ing over 800 broadCasting stations of which not moro than four are the property of any one institution
 With only limited numbers of wave lengths and 5U0 stations .- rapidly increasing-we are forced today to certain duplication of waves and to the division of time between stations. Any attempt 10 give pref erence among stations in the allotL ment of wave lengths on the basis of quality Of program raises the question of CensorShin the implica- tions of which l cannot at present accept.
 "Beyond this three major things have developed during the last 1s months. The first IS the Interconnec. tion of stations by which a single voice may ba br1lIcast from all parts of the United States This interconnectlon has boon most suc- cesstully carried out ivy the uee Of the wire system between broad- casting stations hu other methods of interconn"c'ton ars in usa and process of development Ii Is diai- cult 70 Sac as ys' what the publio implications Of in,erconnection Will he
