TO RETAIN LIQUOR
Members See Principle In
voIved Affecting Interna.
tionaI Basis.

The diplomatic corps in Washington
is unlikely to gvie up its liquor on its
own Initiative.
Theoretically the individual members
may not care rap about the liquor
itself, but there is a far-reachins prin-
ciple involved which, in the opinion of
the ENJOYS, is fundamental in the struc-
ture of diplomatic society throughout
the world.
Without clear recognition of this
principle, they feel, the foundations
of diplomacy would be very shaky and
no individual or group of individuals
has the right to establish precedent
which would tend to undermine the
basis of international representation.
At the same time they feel that there
should be a clear understanding of this
principle on the part of the American
people, some elements of which have
shown desire to heckle the representa-
tives of foreign governments stationed
in Washington as showing disrespect
for the laws of the nation to which
they are accredited.
The situation was brought to head
yesterday by the report that Sir Esme
Howard British Ambassador and dean
of the diplomatic corps, had expressed
in a letter to James T. Carter, Lynch
burg, Va, business man, his own WILL
ingness to forego diplomatic immunity
in respect to the importation and with
drawal of intOXicantS.
While the correspondence between
Ambassador Howard and Mr.. Carter
was of a personal nature which could
not be made public without the con-
sent of both parties fellow diplomat:

DEBT CONF FERENCE
LIKELY TO FAIL
DR.. SChacht ReevaIs Himself
UnCompromising on Three
Conditions.
BY LELAND STOWE.


PARIS. May 25.-In a series of all
day discussions with the allied experts
DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, chief of the Ger.
man experts at the reparations con-
ference, revealed himself fatty uncom-
promising on at least three of the most
important German conditions and in
terpretations attached to the credit
delegates final annuity offer. AS a
result the chances of reaching an ac-
cord on total figure for reparations
appear tonight to be even more remote
that they have been in the last three
days, and the American experts, who
usually have been found clinging to a
hopeful attitude after the others have
expressed despair, are now frankly
pessimistic.
This gloom is shared by all the ex-
perts on both sides. In short, it is GER
tain tonight that three days of effort to
break the conference deadlock shows
pitifully little result and the Germans
on their side have made no important
IL.
Thus far DR.. Schacht is standing abso-
lutely pat on his conditions and the
most likely prospect is that when the
creditor nations experts meet tomorrow
at 1870 am. they will do the same
thing.
Agreement Doubtful.
If that happens it is quite possible
that all may be forced to admit in or
outside the plenary session on Monday
that the deadlock is unbreakable and
the conference will have to wind up
without an agreement Possibly this
may be avoided, but everything tonight
accentuates the fact that the Germans
are obdurate and that The chances of
an accord are exceedingly slender.
During the last two days DR.. Schacht
has brought up IL points over which
differences of opinion exist. A major
ity Of the II points are of minor i'm
portance, but at least three of them
loom as large obstacles.
In today's discussion Dr. Schacht
held out stubbornly for the three points,
namely-the wide difference as to the
date when the Young plan should go
into effect (Dr. Schacht demands that
it should commence on September /
next, when the fifth Dawes annuity
ends, as opposed to the creditor stipula-
ton that the full Dawes plan annuity

CONF FEREES BALK
ON FARM RELIEF
Literally "WaIked Out" oil
Conference Because of
0ebenture Clause.

House conferees literally walked
out of the farm relief conference COM
mittee meeting yesterday with a notice
to Senate members that when they
were ready to eliminate the export de-
benture plan from the discussions,
further meetings would be agreed to-
In spite of this ultimatum. neither
Senate nor House conferees would con-
cede that definite irnpasse had been
reached and saw hope for a concilia-
ton ultimately.
The Senate members, however, did
not conceal their displasure at the re-
fusal of House members to negotiate in
any way that might result in a direct
vote in the House on the debenture plan
Senator Smith, Democrat, South Caro-
lima, declared the position of House
members was wholly contrary to the
procedure which usually governs the
deliberations of conference committees.
Matter Rests With House.
"It looks to me like it means a vote
in the House on tie debenture plan or
no farm relief" he said.
Senator McNary of oregon. chairman
of the committee, said he felt sure that
ultimately an agreement would be
reached, but asserted he knew of no way
out of the situation If the House men,
hers persisted in their current view.
The Senate conferees desire to begin
general discussion of the two farm
bills passed separately by House and
Senate with view to composing all
differences other than the debenture
section. To this plan the House men,
bers have declined to accede. contend
ing that promise must first be given
that the debenture section will be
eliminated.
Senate Gives Viewpoint.
The viewpoint of the Senate men,
bers is that the conferees should pro-
ceed toward report which would rec
ommend acceptance or rejection of
minor disputed sections, and announce
disagreement ON the debenture Sec
ton. Such a report would mean that
the House would have to vote on the
question of whether 1t should instruct
its conferees to insist upon the reiec-
ton of the debenture clause.
The House members contend that
the Senate had no right to insert the
debenture section and, therefore, that
the House cannot be asked to vote on
the QueSIiOH. "A report WHICH WOULD
recommend the elimination of the de-
benture section, which is the present
aim of House conferees, would require
no direct vote by the House itself.
Question Senate's Right.
In support of their position. House
members claimed that If a report is
brought in announcing a disagreement
on the debenture plan and requesting
further instructions. the constitutional
question of whether the Senate had the
right to initiate debentures would BE-
