NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 26.-There
are several interesting legal aspects Of
the proposed reparations moratorium.
The reparations were largely method
Of continuing the war indefinitely
whereas the recovery OF the world and
future peace depend on ending this po-
litical and financial war at an early
date.
The reparations collected and to be
collected from Germany are over and
above million square miles of terri
tory and an estimated $40, 200, 900 600
OF public and private property confis-
Gated and taken over by the European
allied nations-a result achievable only
through Americas weight in ending
the deadlock. Hence the adnninistra-
ton seems correct In distinguishing po-
litical reparations, more properly called
war indemnity, from the economic re-
payment OF borrowed money which
brought the borrowers high returns.
American Sacrifice Real.
The American sacrifice is a real one:
the allied sacrifice probably is mainly
OAA PuRCAss A0ub AL bAAC lLlgEIE0DS Oh ECO-
nomtc and political peace it seems
proper to make 1t.
The difficulty now is that some of
the countries o1 Europe seem to think
that they have vested interest in the
continuation OF economic chaos in Cen
trail Europe and are likely to oppose
serious and fundamental efforts at
amelioration which would permit sound
economic recovery.
This unfortunate policy Is the basic
cause, infer, OF the gradual deteriora-
these countries still apparently believe
that their own supremacy depends on
the misery and economic devastation of
their neighbors
From this distorted view of national
interest the whole world is now suffer-
ing, and genuine recovery Is made i'm
possible by It.
Every one is paying heavy price for
this responsibility
united front by the English and
American financial and business COM
muntty seems now necessary to compel
return to economic common sense
and the defiation Of political irresponsi-
bility In Europe.
Special Financial Interest.
The United States has, moreover,
special financial interest which appears
rot to have been mentioned The
United States still holds approximately
$65, ,000, 900 of Sequestrated cash funds
owed by German and austrian citizens
and owes approximately $45, ,000, 900 for
seized private ships ana patents. whereas
American claimants against Germany
have approximately $4,000, 900 coming
to them from future German payments.
This is excluding Rhine Army costs,
nearly all of which is accommodating
per cent interest.
In 'riew of the possible political difi-
Guilty Of re-establishing. reparations on
the old scale Congress probably must
make provision for these payments.
This possibly can be done by per
cent Government loan and the alloca-
ton Of Rhine Army costs to q claims
account, for which there is much moral
Justification in view of the history Of
the Rhine Army costs problem.

BROOKHART URGES
CALLING OF CONGRESS
Wants Legislation to Prevent Re-
uewal of "Stock Gambling Orgy"
on Basis of Debts.
Nv the AAociated Press.

DES MONIES, Iowa, June ga
special session of Congress to consider
the Hoover war debt moratorium pro-
posal was suggested today by Senator
Smith w. Brookhart Of Iowa.
Senator Brookhart telegraphed the
President that he agreed with the pro-
poSal to postpone for year all inter-
governmental debts, but that he be-
lieved the subject "of too much inn
portance to be decided by Congress by
informal conferences or kilograms to
members"
He said he regarded the question as
of immediate national Importance, and
proposed that Congress be summoned
at this time.
Declaring that the first result of
the Presidents announcement of q pro-
posed moratorium was to renew the
gigantic stock BOOM" he said, such a
result is unsound and means future
disaster"
He said that before he voted "for
any proposal that will renew the stock
gambling orgy" he would 'insist on
some legislation, perhaps similar to the
speculative stock sales tax offered by
Senator Glass, as an amendment to the
tariff act"

LONDON, June 26.--The British gov
ernment Is today informing representa-
tives OF Poland, Rumania, Jugoslavia,
Esthonia and Latvia of its decision to
accept President Hoover's proposal Tor
q war debt moratorium.
AS soon as the proposal has been gen.
orally accepted Great Britain, 1t was
announced, will be ready to postpone
for one year after July l all payments
due from other governments which
would be affected by the plan.
All these debts are not technically war
debts, it was announced, but arise out
of conditions brought about as a result
Of the war.
The British action was taken in line
with the policy set forth In the recent
declaration of Chancellor OF the Ex-
chequer Showden before the House Of
Commons. He said Great Britain would
observe the spirit as well as the letter
Of the Hoover proposal.

templates the payment by Germany Of
this money, although It proposes that
an equal sum be placed by the nations
receiving the German reparations In
the Bank Of international Settlements,
which may be loaned back to Germany.
Secretary Stimson In his statement
definitely expressed the hops and the
belief that the differences In methods
proposed by the American Government
and the French government win be
ironed out.
A brief reply to the French note was
presented to Foreign Administrator
BRAND In Paris at noon today, accord
ing to Associated Press dispatches. This
reply was as follows:
1.-THE American Government appreci-
ates the cordiality Of the French gov
ernment's response to the Presidents
proposal. 1t hopes the French govern
ment viii take advantage Of the preS-
ence Of the Secretary of the Treasury
in Paris and discuss with the Ambas-
sador and with him the various Erob-
lens arising from the original proposal
Of the President and the French answer.
The Ambassador and Mr.. Mellon are
fully advised as to the views OF my
"(Signed) sTIMsON."
The French note replying TO the
Hoover proposal was delivered at the
Department. Of State by Ambassador
Claudel on Wednesday. It was the de-
sire Of the French government not TO
make the text public until it could be
presented to the French Chamber OF
Deputies today. In the interval, how
ever, the American government was
fully informed Of the attitude Of the
French. Secretary Mellon, who had
been in London, went yesterday to Paris
and with Ambassador Edge has already
been conducting discussions with men,
berS Of the French government.
French Cite Sacrifices.
In It's note replying to the Hoover
proposal, the French government has
extent of the sacrifices which France
is called upon to make In going along
with the suspension plan. The note
said:
I'm placing at the disposal OF the
Bank for International Settlements, on
| the conditions contemplated above, her
part In the unconditional annuity,
France is deprived, during the suspen-
sion period, Of what had been allotted
to her on account Of the charges which
she has to meet for the reconstruction
Of her devastated regions. Without
wishing to insist on the difference be-
tween the sums which she has received
and the sums which she should have
received, France recalls that the amount
Of her public debt is about four times
that of the debt of the Reich and that
her effort at financial restoration car
ried on and accomplished by her own
means barely four years ago should not
! be endangered"
In conclusion the French note said
that the French government and that
! of the United States, faithful to their
traditions, were cooperating in precau-
tionary measures to meet q grave crisis.

considerable work on the part of
the league officials. the umpires
and the sports editor of The
Times. More than a score Of
players were nominated and Ber-
bakos was picked only after all
others had barely shaded.
Berbakos was named of the
strength and remarkable manner

fact he will not be 13 years old
until December.

schedule of any team in The
Times League, won the Peewee
title in play-off with the
Knights of Columbus and the Joe
Kuhels and then defeated the Mt.
Holley Juniors, of Baltimore, for
the intercity title.
Nick participated in every
game played by his team,
handled any position for which
other players were not available
and kept his team together
when it threatened to diSband.
Nick was particularly popular
with his opponents and earned
merited praise for craftsmanship.
