LA GUARDlA SOUGHT

Indiana Prosecutor Asks Speaker
Longworth to Induce Repre-

District Attorney Ward at Indian
apolis urged Speaker Longworth to-
day to use his influence to induce
REPRESENTATIVE La Guardia, Progress
sive Socialist, New York, to appear
before the Federal grand jury to dis
cuss his charge that $50 cases OF
liuuor were removed from the Fed
eral Building at indianapolis.
La Guardia made his charges in
the House. Later, when subpoenaed
he protested that the summons was
an infringement on his constitutional
privileges.
District Attorney Ward wrote that
he had received no response to any
of his efforts to persuade La Guardia
to testify He said that while mem
bers of Congress could not be sum-
moned to court during sessions, La
Guardia's obligations as a citizen
require that he make known to the
prosecuting branch of the Govern
ment all information which may be
of assistance to it in properly dis
charging it's duty" He added that IT
was difficult 10 believe that mem
ber of Congress would make such a
complaint unless he had important

WILL DEMAND VOTE.
BRAND to Make Ratification Question
of Confidence.

PARIS. May II P).-Ratification
Of the Washington debt settlement
and arrangements to pay the war
debt to Great Britain are regarded by
the French government as so essen
tial to the stabiliZatiOn of the franc
that NJ Peret. the finance minister,
went TO London yesterday to confer
with Winston Churchill, British chan
cellor OF the eXchequer, with view
to an early agreement.
Premier BRAND will ask Parliament
to approve NJ. Berenger's arrange
ment at Washington, or overthrow
the Government. He will propose the
question of confidence on the Ameri-
can debt agreement at the end OF the
debate. which will begin soon after
Parliament convenes again on May
q.
The continued and growing weak
ness of the franc has increased the
opposition to ratification during the
past week Many radical and
Socialist deputies affirm that the set
tlement has failed to operate favorably
to the franc, as was expected, and
that 1t is impossible for France to
undertake to pay her war debts unless
guaranteed against ruinous rates OF
exchange.
This combination of conferences is
taken here as indicating that the
question of exchange will be linked
with the question of payments and
that the French conferees while in
London will ask that arrangements
be made for credits to protect the
franc against depreciation through
transfers of money on the war debt
and that provisions be made for the
eventual return to the Bank of France
of 1900 900 900 francs in gold deposit
ed with the Bank of England as
guarantee for the payment of part
of the British loans to France during
the war.
NJ. Peret has already conferred with
American bankers as to similar credits
in the United States to an amount, In
addition to the proceeds Of the Morgan
loan available. sufficient to cover the
requirements of French importers and
furnish a guarantee against derange-
ment of exchange through war debt
payments, once the franc is stabilized
There has been no question or
loan, the policy of the French govern
ment being to borrow no more money
on long-term paper. What Is de-
sired is to open a credit which may be
drawn upon to requirements.
