WASHINGTON, Jan. IA. U.P)-
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt is
expected to announce his preSi-
dental candidacy almost any time
now.
The first bugle call summoning
him is expected from the North Da-
kota Democratic state committee,
now meeting at Valley City. This
committee planned to start the
Roosevelt parade by adopting a res
olution calling upon the governor
to admit officially that he is a
candidate for President.
The understanding here is that
this is TO be the vehicle by which
the governor will break the news
to the country in a carefully drawn
reply
The western stateS-North Dakota
and Washington-have been in a
race to start the Roosevelt drive.
Washington was headed by North
Dakota-but it expected to be the
first state actually to give Roose-
welt delegates. Washingon's l6 del

was in Seattle travelling incognito
as q brother Elk. was that Wash
ington would be the lead-off state.
But North Dakota's opportunity
will be just as welcome, however,
because the governors friends are
growing concerned over the danger
of letting the opposition get out
too far.
Western initiative has been es-
pecially welcomed by the Roose-
welt forces. The governors oppoS-
ition is greatest in the east He
hopes to start his SNOWFALL rolling

it reaches the eastern states, it will
be big enough to flatten out the

BERLIN, Jan. IA. U.P)-Germany
might accept a six months exten-
sion Of the Hoover moratorium, If
immediate cancellation of all rep
arations payments is not obtained
at the Lausanne conference, it was
said in high quarters today.
Although Germany will seek COM
plete cancellation at Lausanne, in
line with Chancellor Heinrich Bru-
ening's declaration that she is un-
able to pay further reparationS, the
government hesitates at defying the
creditor nations and openly de-
faulting if they insist on payment.
Informal conversations among
European reparations experts re-
Gently brought up a proposal to fix
the final sum Germany must pay
at 5O0,O00,O00 marks ($l19, 100000
annually, which IS the amount to
which France is entitled uncondi-
tionallY under the Young plan.
The Young plan fixed the Ger
man annuity at 1888, 100000 marks
until 1866, of which 660,000000
was TO be unconditional. The
Young plan, which was to have
been final and complete settle
ment, made the total Germans
debts present value, at 5la per
cent, 2OO0,000O00 marks (S10,004,-
100000.
The proposed solution, however,
presumeS France would allot part
of the 50O,000,000 marks annually
to the United States and other
creditors. Pierre Etienne Flandin,
French minister of finance, frowned
on any such suggestion. Frances
sacrifice, in the German view,
would otherwise be at the cost of
the United States.
