FARMER JIM
 FOR DEBT PLAN

Brady, Tex, (UP).-"Farmer Jim, former governor of Texas, is strongly in favor of President Hoover's plan for a one7year sus. pension of inter-goyernrnental debts.
 Ferguson broke a silence that had existed since his wife was de- feated a year ago in her campaign against Governor Ross sterling to predict that the plan would restore the good will of European nations toward the United States.
 He suggested that 8 similar mo- ratorium toward all debts owed by people within the United States would go q long way toward re- storing confidence of Americans.
 Not frozen loans but frozen con- fidence of the people is the cause of the present economic condi- tions." he said.
 Ferguson made, a plea for the re- turn of the original onstttutional principle that congress issue money and fix its value" and urged repeal of the federal reserve system law. claiming that 1t usurped the power formerly held by local bankers in using their own discretion in tiding good customers over difficult per- iods.

 Marriage of the two will direct world wide attention to figures whose lives have been full of the romance of business, of fame, mu- sic-and love. The two long have been fast friends through their in terest in opera. Mackay, at 57, and devout Catholic, Is q patron of the opera; Miss Case, 15 years his junior, a former choir singer and until just recently member of the Dutch Reformed Church, is a form CT leading soprano of the Metro politan.

Diplomats of
 World Assemble
(Continued from Page 1.)

Premier Pierre Laval, Aristlde Briand, foreign minister, and Pierre Etienne Flandin, finance minister. will be the chief French ministers seated around the con- ference table.
 The statesmen will seek action on two phases of the central prob lem of Gcrmanys financial crisis:
 1-Germany's plea for a large longer-tcrm credit.
 2-France's position that Ger many must make political guaran- tees before France will support the German loan.
 Germany during the week staved off a panic and the threat of an- other period of imitation of the mark by gaining extension of the 00,00O,000 credit through the world bank at Basic, due last Wed nesday.
 Berlin wants and insists that a long term loan of at least $300.- 100000 (and possibly more) Is es- sential. The United States and Great Britain favor extending her that credit. France has been will ing. provided Germany will accede to certain demands. namely, ,aban- doning of the Austro- German cus- tom union, and postponemept of the construction of any more pocket battleships."
 Premier Laval intimated he ia willing now to compromise on these demands. and Chancellor Bruening. who left Berlin last night for Paris. intimated he might be willing to make some conces- sions 10 the French demands, al- though he said he could not meet them fully.
 The German extremists threat ened to overthrow the Bruening administration If he capitulated to these demands at Paris.
 At London, meanwhile, the fn- ternational commission of experts is holding its sessions seeking to arrive at q formula under which President Hoover's war debts and reparations payments moratorium can be put into effect. It actually is in effect now, but they are working out the machinery by which 1t can operate without disr rupting budgets and causing eco- homie disquiet which 1t was de- signed to ameliorate.
