WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Renewed
agitation fer lifting the American
dollar embargo against France fell
upon deaf ears in Washington today.
Officials read with interest-but no
apparent sympathy-the letter writ

ton is critical and our position should
be reconsidered." He said a loan at
this time would restore the last sick
currency among the great nations of
Europe"
Dawes Silent.
Vice-President Dawes declined to
comment on Bush's letter, but treas
ury officials were not so reticent.
They declared there is no reason
why the dollar-embargo against
France should be lifted at this time,
Snd they particularly deplored a re-
newal Of pro-French agitation at a
time when the French chamber is

Members Of the American debt

DETROIT, Dec. 1.-THE Detroit
Council for Protection Of Foreign

Of the season on Sunday, Dec. 10, at
the Electrical Workers Temple, So

The representatives Of trade unions
and fraternal organizations who make

plans for reopening the work of fight.
ing the various anti-alien bills which
will soon be coming. up for consid-
Grafton in congress. This will be
the first meeting of the council since

tional scale.
Begin National Drive.
The Council for Protection OF For.
eign-Born Workers has now estab-
lished headquarters in New York
City and in addition to co-ordinating
the local councils and amalgamating
the sentiment in opposition to the
anti-alien bills, they will send out or
ganizers to open naturalization
classes, and bureaus of legal aid for
the foreign-born.
Sugar Hears Glasses.
Maurice Sugar, as a member Of the
Detroit council will supervise the de-
velopment of the naturalization
classes in Detroit, and those foreign
born workers who want to become
citizens will be given every opportun.
ity to do so. However, at the same
time, the councils will fight those
bills which are being proposed to
force aliens to become citizens and
threatening deportation if they are
not naturalized within a certain per-
iod.
Such bills are part of the Depart
ment of Labor's whole program to
prosecute the foreign-born, and every
part Of this plan will be vigorously
opposed by the council. Every
worker, whether foreign or native
born, should join with the Council
for Protection Of Foreign-Born Work-
ers in fighting all such bills which

Way is CLEARED

FARM AID BILLS

Haugen to have destroyed one of the
chief objects Of farm relief.
Without the provision that the
tariff difrerential will govern the
domestic price there is no definite
basis on which to operate" Haugen
said. There is no direct mandate of
congress to any board which is estab-
lished."
Board Has No Power.
Failure of the McNary bill to give
a federal farm board the right to buy
and sell farm products also was point
ed out by Haugen as a glaring de-
flciency. The bill, he said, provides
only that the board may make con-
tracts.
1.-THE bill now is simply a banking
proposition, said Haugen.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-Farm re-
lief legislation has become the out.
standing issue before congress, with
members Of the farm bloc apparently
pinning their hopes for success upon
forcing a compromise with the ad-
ministration.
Oppose Equalization.
With the revised McNary- Haugen
bill shorn Of some features which
were unacceptable to President Coo
lidge and his advisers, some members
from agricultural sections indicated
they were willing to go even further
in an effort to reach an agreement.
The equalization fee and the con-
tention that the farm bloc proposals
Till put the government into the farm
commodity business appeared to be
the chief stumbling blocks for the new
program.
Talk Of a flibuster to provoke an
extra session on farm legislation has
subsidized pending the result of efforts
to unite warning factions.
House Clears Way.
The farm relief bill to be offered in
the house will be similar to the meas
ure placed before the senate by Sena-
tor McNary of Oregon. Farm bloc
leaders have appealed to representa-
tives who stand we'll In administra-
ton circles to sponsor such a meas
ure.
Little lost motion will accompany
the final drafting of the farm relief
program, according to present plans.
Representative Haugen, of Iowa,
chairman Of the house agricultural
committee, has announced that he is
opposed to holding public hearings.
The senate agriculture committee has
agreed to hear Senssor-elect Brook
hart, Of Iowa, on his new plan, but
exhaustive public consideration is not
anticipated.
The house agriculture committee
has been assured of preferential
status upon any farm relief bill 1t
presents. With the McNary bill intro
duced, the senate steering committee
Is now expected to add farm legis-
lation to its tentative program.

Withheld News.

The news Of the death Of the emperor
OF Japan, in accordance with custom,
may be withheld for many days af-
ter his death. No announcement OF
the death, Is made until all members
of the family have been notified and
arrangements for the succession are
made. Furthermore the announce
ment Of the death would probably be
withheld until the body had been re-
moved TO the royal palace, since an
emperor must always die in his pal
ace, 30 far as official records go.

LESS STOPS ON

ORDER OF. BOARD
Campaign Against Traffic
VioIationS-Jay-W aIking
to Be Stopped.

Timing or automatic traffic signals
on N. Meridian St, from Ohio to
st. Clair SITS, to eliminate frequent
stops, was planned today by William
Griffis, board Of safety electrician.
The object is to time the devices
so a motorist will be able 20 drive
without halting between the two
streets If he catches the so sig
nal at st. Clair or Ohio SITS.
Griffis also will eliminate the fad
ing from one colored light to an
other, with a view of preventing
motorists from "inching" before the
green light is displayed.
The board Of safety has begun a
crusade against traffic law viola
lions, particularly double parking,
overtime parking, failure to use
hand signals and speeding.
Future signals will be placed at
the curb line, not in the center Of
the intersection, the board decided.
The board authorized the Hoosier
Motor Club to install Immediately
in the downtown section "jay walk
ing signs" to discourage that prac-
tice.
A bright yellow line will outline all
safety zones and parking standards
and signs will be painted yellow
with black lettering.

decided to unite the two. Each
grade had different problem. Above
