siderable delay in Congress would
be likely to produce an unsettled
condition in international fl
nance. Indications are that Con-
greSS will wage q bitter battle
against ratification, Of the mora
torium. sd; ..-
A demonstration of manifest re-
luctance to approve the one-year
moratorium would serve as notice
to European nations that their
chances Of obtaining the consent
Of Congress tor further scaling
down Of war debts are rather
chimerical.
Some Of the members who will
ingIy gave pledges of support for
the One-year moratorium now say
privately that they are sorry they
did not withhold judgment. They
relied upon the Presidents assur.
ance at that time that cancella-
ton was not in his mind.
Now, with the debt reduction
implications of the Hoover-Laval
communique coming more and
more to the front, there is a
disposition to wonder if the Presl-
dent has changed his mind.
Cancellation Is Feared
Any substantial reductions in
the present debt totals are re-
garded as stepping stones toward
eventual cancellation.
Among those aroused by sus-
picions that debt-cutting plan
figured prominently in the
Hoover-Lava conferences are
some members who, normally,
give the staunchest and most
unquestioning support to any Ad-
miIIistration proposal.
Representative John @. Tilson
(R) of Connecticut, floor leader
in the House, is emphatic in his
opposition to reopening the war
debt question. He said:
81 see nothing now to war.
rant reOpening the foreign debt
question. The debts were set
tied on the ability of the
debtors to pay. We have al
ways been against cancellation.
have hoped that the debt
question was settled for all
time"
Wood Also Opposed
Equally vigorous was Chairman
viii Wood (R0 of Indiana, Of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee. Wood declared:
1--WE have given these debtor
nations more now than we
should have given"
Before Congress approves the
Hoover one-year moratorium, an
effort will be made to obtain
definite assurance from Mr..
Hoover that that will be the end
of proposals for the relief of
Europe. Whether the President
is now in a position to give such
definite assurances is a question
that is disturbing to Administra-
ton leaders in Congress. If the
assurances are not forthcoming
promptly and with an air Of
finality, they foresee difficulty in
obtaining prompt approval Of the
moratorium.

Fear Of Chinese Revo-

Open admission that the

ing behind the hypocritical
manouvers of the ilnperialist
vutures is made in an article
by William Philip Simms, Scripps-
Howard foreign editor. The article
appeared yesterday in the Scripps-
Howard chain of papers.
In line with all liberals and social
democrats, Simms tries brazenly to
cover up the robber role of the i'm
perialist bandits of his own coun-
try. He attempts to hide the fact
that the United States is actively
participating in and leading the at
tack on the Chinese masses. At the
same time, he calls for more agrees
sive action on the part of the United
States in China, warning the United
States bosses that they stand TO lose
billions of dollars if they permit the
other inperialist PowerE to beat tfTeffr
TO the looting of China. Sinlms sees
the rising anger of the Chinese
masses threatening to overthrow the
Marking puppets of Wall street. He
visualizes an armed attack on the
Chinese Revolution by the imperialists
and warns his own imperialiSt that:

MARCHERS SHOUT
F OR BILLIN G s,
MOONEY RELEASE

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. T.
Throughout the demonstration of the
1900 elected delegates of the National
Hunger March before the Capitol,
the White House and the A. F. l..
headquarters, there was a persistent
and continuous roar for the release
of Mooney and Billings Signs and
banners repeated this demand. Will
liam Green, president of the A. F.. L.
was given, along with the resolution
demanding unemployment insurance,
the resolution passed at the mass
meeting of 5000 workers and 1900
Hunger Marcherst IN the Auditorium
last night, a resolution demanding
the release of Mooney and Billings,
and demanding the publication of the
suppressed part of the Wickersham
report, where the frame-up against
Mooney is described.
The telegram from Mooney to the
National Hunger March was read last
night at the Auditorium meeting, and
aroused the greatest determination to
fight for his release. This telegram
reminds the National Hunger March
delegates, and through them the
working class of the world, that to-
morrow is MONEYS birthday, and is
the 18th birthday he has spent in
San Quentin.
The National Hunger March, be-
sides being a gigantic demand for
life for the starving millions, is dra-
matizing the demand of the working
class for the immediate release of
Mooney and Billings, and indicates
the reputation of Mayor Walkers
maneuvers.
