COMPLETION OF Debt
FUNDING PREDICTED
France and Italy Promise TO
Act; Stern Measures Pro.
posed For Others.

Washington, D. C.-Completion OF
all funding negotiations with Ameri.
cas- war time debtors and action upon
the agreement by the Forthcoming
session of congress is the new pro-
gram OF the American debt commits
sion.
Official Washington appears salts
lied the program could be accomplish
cd as result of the stern measures
adopted with respect to the smaller
debtors and the assurances of action
already given by France and Italy, the
two remaining major powers whose
debts are unfunded.
Dissatisfied with the slow prog
ress Of conversations with most of
the smaller nations the commission
has taken positive stand, the first
evidence Of which is the information
that Czecho-Slovakia soon will send
a delegation to take up funding pro.
posal and that the Greek government
has authorized It's minister here to
initiate negotiations. Informal ex-
changes have been underway for some
weeks between the commission and
Minister Pip of Esthonia and the
Latvanian minister here is near an
agreement with this government.
OF those powers whose debts re.
main unfunded only Czecho. Slovakia,
France, Italy and Russia owe amounts
greater than s7O.0OO,OOO. The Russian
credit Of more than quarter Of a
billion dollars made to the czarist gov
eminent is conceded to be worthless.
Discussion Of the foreign debt ques.
tion here also developed an official
expression that Great Britain had not
scaled down the French debt as far
Us has been indicated in first advices
Of the Anglo-French agreement.

| RESIGN BY PRESIDENT
Oregon Member of Shipping
Board Declines to Com.
ply With Request.

Washington, D. C.-The controversy
between Bert Il. Haney, Portland
member of the United States shipping
board, and Leigh R. Palmer, president

Haney declined on the ground that
the resignation would carry an I'M
plication which cannot permit"
Whether the presidents action will
be immediate or will await the next
term of Congress Is conjectural. The
president may dismiss the commits
sioner only for malfeasance, neglect
or incompetence. but as Haney is serv-
ing under a recess appointment, his
dismissal could be accomplished by
failure to send his name to the SEN
ate for confirmation.
Haney, of Oregon, democratic men,
Der Of the board, declared in letter
to the president that he had not in
tended to have Coolidge understand
that "if reappointed would be party
to continuing Palmer in office"
Reviewing the circumstances of con-
versatlon with Coolidge just prior to
his reappointment, the commissioner
said he had not intended to lead the
president to think my views of Presi-
dent Palmer and his activities, (which
| expressed to you, would change, un-
less there was change in his adj
mlnistrative policy"
Several times recently in meetings
of the board Haney has sought with
out support to bring about the re-
moval of Palmer. He contends that
the government merchant fleet has
deterioDated in numbers and service
and that Palmer has reduced the nun.

STRONG PROTESTS
ARE MADE AGAINST
WEIGHT : INCREASE

"The best case of its kind ever
presented before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, was the
verdict of l.. G.. Lee. Farm Bureau
representative and local produce
! man, on his arrival in the city today
from Los Angeles, where he attend
ed the refrigeration rate and lettuce
weight hearings.
Convincing arguments against
the present rate discrimination on
Imperial Valley products moving
under refrigeration, particularly
cantaloupes and grapes, were pre-
sented by Edison Abel, attorney of
the California Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, appearing in behalf Of the
Imperial County Farm Bureau and
the state organization.
At the present time refrigeration
rates on cantalouDes and grapes are
$50 more per ear on shipments orig
mating in Imperial Valley than on
!: the same commodities when shipped
from other parts of the state. Con-
vincing data supporting the case
Of the shippers against the carriers
was submitted by the farm bureau
attorney and by II. G. Lust, repre-
scnting the Pacific Coast Vegetable
Growers and Shippers Transporter
ton committee, with headquarters
in Los Angeles.
Referring to the lettuce billing
weight matter, in which the propos
ed increase has been ordered su
spended by the commission until
February 12, 1926, Mr.. Lee voiced
his belief that the proposed raise
would not be in effect at all dur
ing the coming Imperial Valley let
tuce season.
81 do not believe that the Inter
state Commerce Commission will
be able to render q decision on the
testimony submitted at the hearing
just closed by that date. A 80 to
60 day further suspension will
probably be necessary b efore de-
cision can be handed down. Mr..
Lee stated.
Hearings on the two cases closed
yesterday noon. Edison Abel rep
resented the Farm Bureau interests
in both eases. Mr.. Lee was present
as a witness for both the Imperial
County and Arizona Farm Bureaus.
