knowledge of a proposal to put into
effect "a close union between the

Publisher Says Move Is
Preliminary Step For
Debt Cancellation.

LONDON. June 26. U.P)-William
Randolph Hearst, American news
paper and magazine publisher, in a
statement expressed opposition to-
day to President Hoover's proposed
plan for a years suspension of war
debts payments.
Hearst said the plan seems to
be a precedent or preliminary to
permanent debt cancellation" His
statement:
Il am uncompromisingly opposed
to further reduction of war debts
of foreign nations to America.
America has made reductions
enough, concessions eonugh and sac
rifices enough.
"These foreign nations, all except
England, negotiated and repudiat-
ed themselves into a position of in
digents asking aims and finally
secured settlements which in ma
ture we're charitable benefactions
from America. England, of course
came forward first to pay her debts
and proudly agreed to settlement
which was so honorably liberal as
to be almost out of proportion to
her ability to pay.
"If England had stopped to the
mendicant methods of some other
nations, or even confined her up
standing negotiations to the hands
of more able negotiators. she would
undoubtedly have secured at least
better terms and lower rate of in
terest.
"If she had waited until after
Americas exasperating experience
with France, almost any settlement
which England in her honesty hac
been willing to propose would have
seemed grateful to American mind;
and nerves. However, the settle.
ments have been made-England's
generous one, Frances grudgine
one. America on the whole has
compromised on approximately hall
