Frances answer to President Hoo
ver's proposal for suspension of the
al debts and reparations payments
a awaited Tuesday as the Franch
cabinet continued to study the plans
effect from every angle.
Paris advices indicated that the
French cabinet discussed two possible
answers to President Hoover's pro.
posal and rejected both,
One was formulated by the foreign
office and the other by Finance Min
lister Flandin.
When agreement was found impos.
sible, the cabinet meeting was ad.
journed until Wednesday, at which
time Premier Laval hopes to be able
to submit a draft which his colleagues
Will accept,
It was known an attempt would b.
made to settle the question Of uncon'
ditional reparations. Criticism of tn,
Hoover proposal has been large!,
based on loss of r~eparations payments
tagged unconditional" and therefore
rot subject to postponement under
the Young plan.
One minister declared his govern.
ment certainly would insist on q dis
tinction between conditional and uu.
conditional reparations payments.
Information in diplomatic circles
indicates France is working on a
definite counter project which will be
submitted to the cabinet tomorrow.
This counter plan, 1t was said today
is based upon Hoover's principle o!
helping Germany but 1t also takes in
to consideration Frances desire t1
keep on with the Young plan and to
assist Germany by payments through
the bank for international settle
ments.
Great Britain has forwarded its
acceptance in principle" to Wash
ington. Germany, Austria and Italy
have informally approved the pro-
posals.
In view of French delay in answer
ing Washington. the world stock mar
kets steadied down from their bull
lish enthusiasm Of yesterday, although
markets were steady.
America Seeks Speed
American officials sought mean
while, to speed ratification of the
moratorium proposal to maintain with
undiminished force what they saw as
already materializing economic i'm
provement.
From no less a person than Secre-
tary Stimson had come the warning
that there must be no bargaining;
that the plan must be acted upon
quickly to pull the world out Of its
business morasS. And to critics VINO
held that postponement for n year
Of all war debt and ~reparations pay
ments would only delay the crisis,
the administration reiterated its un-
qualified opposition to cancellation OF
the obligations. Modification Of ex-
listing agreements has been argued.
but the general opinion Is against any
change.
Hoping to stimulate France to &C
ceptance, Secretary Stimson expressed
his opposition to the suggestion IN
that country that an international
conference be held. Others here said
they believed the generally favorable
World. wide reaction would lead
France to approve the suggestion.

to relieve men too sick to work.
Three days and three nights of the
trip were terrible" Riggs said. THE
engines were not working properly, the
freSh-water tanks were turned over and
we suffered agony from seasickness. We
took an awful beating from the Atlantic
and all OF us were masses OF bruises
