agreement to settle Austria's $35,.
OO0. 900 debt to the United State.

The agreement is similar to that
negotiated with seven other creditor
nations, but terms will not be made
public until presented to congress
for ratification.
Secretary Mellon will recommend
to congress permission to be given
to sign the Austrian pact to clear
the way for an Austrian reconstruc-
ton loan in the United States.
All nations to which Austria owes
money are expected to participate
in the loan, which will be about
500, 1000, 900, to be obtained from
private sources.
To place any loan In this coun-
try, congress must give it priority
over other Austrian obligations.
Similar action was taken in 1923 at
the time of the so-called League
of Nations loan.
Under the Lodge resolution adopt
ed some years ago, payment Of the
Austrian debt to the United States
was postponed until 1943.
Austria, at the conference today,
was represented by DR.. Schiller Of
the foreign Office. Under Secretary

AWAY PROTECTION FOR HIS LIFE ON STEAMSHIP TICKET

Barratry, it may be explained,
is any wilful or unlawful act COM
mitted by the master or mariners
of ship whereby the owners sus-
tain injury.
In other words, a steamship
ticket as it is sold to you today,
and under archaic forms of law
and the archaic lodging Of proper
responsibility that our laws per-
nit, is nothing legally but lot
terry ticket in which you bet your
passage money that your ship
owner is lucky and generous
enough to have lifeboats that do
not naturally" leak" and has
conscience enough to sell you pas
sage on a "seaworthy" nonsink-
able ship, even if he legally does
not have to do so.

WHEAT CROP GAINS
Canadian Crop Said to Be
of Poor Quality.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The
worlds wheat crop, outside of Rus
STA and China, was estimated at
3,7OO,OO0,000 bushels, about 100000
600 bushels greater than last year,
by the agricultural department to-
day.
The Russian wheat crop is eSti-
mated to be larger than in 1927,
but, due to short rye crop and
other factors, there will be no wheat
for export and Russia probably will
have to import more wheat than
in 1927, reports to the department
said.
A large part of the Canadian
bumper wheat crop was said to be
of low grade and larger percent
age of it will be used as feed.
