u. s. DEBT POLICY
BASED ON NATIONS
CAPACITY TO PAY
No Suggestion for Extending
Moratorium Made to
Europe by Hoover.
LAVAL VISIT MAY RESULT
IN A LONGER HOLIDAY
Large-Scale Revision of War obi
cations Is Regarded as Pos
sible Alternative.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
While the American Government does
not intend to burden European nations
beyond their ability to pay, It expects
to demand fulflllment Of war debt obi
cations to the extent possible.
With this in view, 1t has been made
known here that President Hoover has
advanced no suggestion abroad for ex-
tending the moratorium on war debts
and reparations payments beyond next
June.
However, there Is . feeling in Wash
ington that from the discussions late
this month Of President Hoover and
Premier Laval Of France and from the
1882 Disarmament Conference may
come either . general extension of the
moratorium or perhaps . large scale
revision Of all war debts.
VIII Take Needs Into Account.
The budgetary requirements Of the
European nations in their ratio TO
prospective war debt payments will be
ACpb CoASAully w IuC IOIe curing Jile
Laval-Hoover conferences. Mr.. Hoover
has taken the position that II foreign
nations would reduce their expenditures
for ornaments they would greatly i'm
prove their economic condition.
A more direct Interpretation has
been given this by some of the ad-
ministration'S advisers. They contend
that II France and other nations can
afford enormous sums for ornaments,
they can pay their debts TO the United
States.
View Finding Favor.
This view is finding increasing favor
in America. both among officials and
those CU@ de the Government. If the
situation should resolve itself definitely
to the point where this country would
demand limitation Of military and
naval activities in exchange for wal
debt reductions. President Hoover
would flnd much support on Capitol
Hill.
Only yesterday evidence Of this came
from source now opposed TO extern
sion of the debt moratorium.
Chairman Britten of the House Naval
Committee said he would support a
further debt holiday only If Great
Britain and Japan not only annul all
new construction contracts but scrap
down to the ratios established by the
London Naval Conference so that the
American Navy will unquestionably be
equal to England"

CALLS NATION FOOLISH
IN TREATING INSANITY
Bv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
ELGIN, ILL.,, October 1o.-Dr. John r.
Harger, president of the Chicago Medi-
cal Society, said the Nation is penny
wise and pound foolish in matters OF
insanity.
Many so-called hopeless cases" would
be returned to normal ones, he said last
night, If States augmented their equip
ment and enlarged their stats. BY so
doing, the taxpayers would be saved
millions of dollars annually
investigations now being carried on, u
he continued, show positively that
many types of insanity are directly
traceable to physical conditions calling
for medical and surgical attention. Usu-
ally when the physical ailment is cor
rected the mental ailment also dis
appears.

EDISON, IN STUPOR,
KNOWS ONLY WIFE
Unnourished for ~ Hours,
Inventor Remains Same
After Restless Night.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WEST ORANGE. N. j., October 10
Dr. Hubert S. Howe announced today
that Thomas A. Edison had taken no
nourishment for the past "a hours, that
he was in an almost constant stupor
and that he no longer recognized any
one, with the possible exception of the
wife.
DR.. Howe's formal morning bulletin,
which he amplified in conversation with
reporters, follows:
Mr. Edison had a restless night, but
there is little noticeable change, and
his clinical condition is about the same
as yesterday"
II do not believe Mr.. Edison will die
suddenly" said DR.. Howe in his final
bulletin last night. AT the same time
it would not surprise me If / received
an emergency call at any time"
Details of motor cycle policemen are
kept on 24-hour duty to speed the way
for the physician when the climactic
hour ccmes
Bulletins issued from time to time by
Charles Edison, the inventors son, sup
plement those of DR.. Howe and indi-
Gated the despair of hope by members
of the family, all gathered in the Edi-
son home.
DR.. Howe branded as "a lot of non
sense" statements by Mr.. Edison's bar
Der that the dying inventor had recog-
nizsd him yesterday
The patient is now so weak, DR.. Howe
said, that, even after he has been car
ried to his chair. he is able to sit up
only few minutes. He added that SO
far today MIR. Edison had not indicated
desire to be moved.
From his present semi-conscious con-
dition, Dr. Howe said, it would be pos
sible for Edison to slip into coma al
most without warning. But the ply
sician said he did not expect this to
happen for some time.
