OKLAHOMA CITY. September 12.-
A 12-month moratorium on public
debts was suggested today by Gov. w.
H. Murray, chairman Of the Board OF
Governors of the Mississippi Basin
States Unemployment Conference which
will meet at ST. Louis September 26.
IT am against issuance Of bonds for
unemployment relief" the Governor
said. IF we cannot pay interest on
the present Indebtedness, we cannot
pay if it is increased. The cost Of liv-
ing can be reduced only as we reduce
the public debt,
IF 12-month moratorium for
Germany is a good thing. and it is, it
would also be good thing for every
other nation. It would be still better
If all public debts could be wiped out
throughout the world. The only reason
Russia competed with the rest of Eu-
rope is that she repudiated her debts
and has no interest to pay"

SETTLEMENT or
MANCHURIA ROW
BELIEVED NEAR
League Plan, Stripped of
Neutral Zone Clause,
May Be Accepted.
BY RICHARD ID. M'MILLAN
United Press Stan Correspondent

PARIS, Dec. 9-The League of
Nations plan for settlement of the
Manchurian dispute appeared likely
today to be acceptable to China and
Japan, for it did not refer to
creation Of a neutral zone or a COM
mission Of inquiry
The Chinese delegation disturbed
an otherwise promising outlook by
circulating message addressed to
the people Of the world and signed
by the All-China Union of Chinese
Chamber of Commerce.
1t charged that japanese militar-
ism desired to control Manchuria
so that Japan may take full adj
vantage OF China's resources" and
declared that Japan long had made
preparations for open warfare.
kenkichi Yohizawa, the Japanese
delegate, was expected to limit his
pubic declarations to the question
OF suppressing banditry in Man
churia. The japanese offered a con-
cession whereby anti-bandit cam
paigns would be conducted onlv
when lives and property were en-
dangered.
The amended league resolution re-
talns the salient factor by which the
league had hoped to prevent further
lighting in Manchuria, the creation
OF neutral commission of inquiry.
On the japanese demand, how
ever, the stipulation was eliminated
that the commission report to the
council when it reaches Manchuria
on whether evacuation already is
being carried out.
Japan objected to this as a yelled
fixation for an evacuation date,
against which she has been obdu-
rate.
With elimination of reference to
a neutral zone, the Importance of
The leagues decisions hinges on the
presidential declaration Of Aristide
BRAND, in which he will deal with
bandit depression and warn japan
not to attack Chinese troops held by
Marshal Chang Hseuh-Liang at
Chinchow.

The proposal for a congressional ap-
preparation to provide free lunches for

Washington schools is believed to have
received setback by testimony today
during two-hour hearing on the Nc
Leod bill, which proposes $4,000 for
caring for these children under direc-
ton of the Health Department.
Pleas in behalf of the undernourished
children were made by Isaac Cans, for
mer member Of the School Board and
past president of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce, and by John j.
Noonan, retired capitalist. who backed
the reduced carfare for school children
and the free food measure.
Opponents Air Views.
Opponents of the legislation marshall
ed business and civic leaders as wit
nesses in impressing upon the commit
tee that there are already existing
agencies which will care for this situa-
ton If it exists.
They argued that the civic bodies Of
the National Capital can make ample
provision for caring for hungry school
children without the resort to legisla-
ton and setting up new system Of
systematic school examination.
Fowler Is Opposed.

were DR.. William C.. Fowler, District
