French Government Assures Opportu.
nifty to Express Opinion on Debts.

PARIS, November 30 (P).-The
Chamber of Deputies was assured today
no decision concerning the American
debt would be taken by Premier
Edouard Herriot's government before
the Parliament had an opportunity to
express its opinion.
The assurance was given by Joseph
Paganon, undersecretary Of state, after
Louis Marin, the Conservative leader,
had protested that France should not
pay more than she gets from Germany
M Marin was persuaded to abandon
his insiStence on general debate on the
promise that the debate would be held
within 48 hours.
Let us give tariff advantages to the
United States" he said, against ad-
vantageS they give, but We can never
undertake customs negotiations nor any
other negotiations under the pressure OF
the Gebt question"
The deputy said France had already
paid the United States more than the
price of the war stock, which sold fol
less than half France paid for it.
1T would be supreme injustice,
he went on, 'if, having struck the Ger
man reparations off the budget because
of the initiative taken by the President
of the United States, we were obliged
TO make payments for which we do not
receive counterpart
M. Marin recalled that the American
reply to the first French note requesting

THAT is exactly why we should no

1T is time to speak out now becaus,

BY the Associated Press.
Because he thinks the billion dollar
tax bill passed last session did not raise
the expected revenue, Chairman Collier
Of the House Ways and Means Conn
mittee today said he thought 1t would
be compelled to take up another tax
bill after the Christmas holidays"
The outlook Is for deficit of $780,
600, 900 to a billion dollars on June 30,"
he said to newspapermen.
"Of course, that is just guess be-
cause We won't feel the full benefit OF
the new income taxes until March. But
I am sure that what We get even then
won't be enough to balance the budget" /"
Collier said his committee likely
would be occupied until shortly before
the Christmas recess with beer legis-
lation.
He expressed belief that President
elect Roosevelt ought to be allowed to
start his tenure with balanced bud

found to replace the 3-cent postage and
the 2-cent levy on bank checks.

Kay County Jail at Newkirk yesterday
at dusk, pardoned by Gov. w. H. (Al-

court conviction and imprisonment
which followed his failure to pay tenn
porary alimony to his estranged wife,

which have concerned the receivership
under which the ranch Is operated.
Jail Too Confining.
II must admit" Col. Miller told q
crowd of nearly a hundred friends who
met him as he started home to the
ranch white house, that the jail was
too combining. From now on I am 60
ing to enjoy the open spaces.
Sunday was the longest day I ever
spent. read all the papers I could
get hold of. even read the want ads.
I'm glad Oklahoma has q Governor
who's got CUTS"
The executive order, presented to Dis
trict Judge Claud Duval, who sent Col.
Miller to jail Saturday, was honored by
Sheriff Joe McFadden only after the
two National Guard officers who
brought 1t declared they were prepared
TO use force" Neither the Judge nor
the sheriff would recognize the Gov
but the sheriff finally capitulated "un-

bloodshed. *ss '*
Legal Status Questioned.
The order called for Col. Miller's re-
lease from false Imprisonment" and
for his pardon "of any and all orders
and DEGREES Of the said Judge Duval or
another court in Kay County"
On this last phrase Col. Miller pin
ned new hopes for fighting previous de-
crees that have deprived him of control
OF his once vast holdings. He would
not express positive opinion, however,
and no one else in authority cared to
comment. The Governor himself point
ed out the pardon could not apply in
cases not yet come to trial In one
such case Col Miller is charged with
assaulting receivers attorney while

II they wanted to maintain even an ap-
pearance of unity
This defeat for the pro-French Sec
tion Of the British cabinet and of the
foreign Office is of terrific Importance in
world affairs. 1t means that on the
final showdown the British value An
glo-American friendship more than they
do their relations with the French.
TyrrelI Rushes to London.
1t does not mean a break with the
French. however, as the French were
quick to climb on the bandwagon, and
Lord Tyrrel. British Ambassador to
Paris, made a rush trip to London last
night to discuss possible alignment
OF the French and British notes to the
United States. Lord Tyrrell's influence
at the foreign Office has been that OF
an outstanding champion OF the pro-
French policy. His dash to London sees
him returning to home and country as
almost an Ambassador of France.
The French from now on will be
doing everything to keep the Anglo
French Lausanne understanding as
binding upon Great Britain as possible.
The real test-how far the British are
bound not to make a separate settle
snent with the United States independ-
ant of the French-Will be seen when
Washington calls on London to come
alone" to discuss war debt settlement
based on capacity to pay.
1t is understood that both the BRUSH
ana French notes stress Overwhelmingly
the favorable trade balance the United
States has with those countries. Great
Britain buys five times as much frc4n
the United States as the latter buys
from Great Britain.
French Argument Collapses.
The British believe that they have
a strong Argument. in that they cannot
continue paying the war debts unless
the United States is willing to accept
it by halving the actual adverse balance
In trade.
The French argument, however, that
they are buying more from the United
States than the latter takes from
France. falls to the ground in face of
the fact that. before the slump began
in 1881, American tourists spent on the
continent anywhere from two to three
times the whole European debt pay
ments to the United States every year
and by far the largest portion Of this
was spent in Paris and the rest of
France.
