During the time he is employed in
these shops, the workers cannot

In Group Urging Further Moratorium

NEW YORK, Nov. IA G.N.SO.
Congress was urged to reconsider
the war debts Europe owes the
United States and to extend the
Hoover moratorium pending revi,
sion Of these obligations in a re-
port made public today by the
committee for the consideration
of intergovernmental debts. The
report said:
"A reasonable re&dustment Of
intergOvernmental debts prom
iSes far greater material benefits
to the American reOpIe than the
direct income which would be
received If payment could be
/. made i'm full"
The report was prepared by a
group Of economists under the
sponsorship of the Twentieth Gen.
tury Fund established by Edward
A. Tilene, Boston merchant.

The United States does not
contemplate engaging in any gen.
eral conference with European
debtor nations, looking to re-
vision of existing agreements,
Secretary of State Stimson said
today.
An intimation that such a
conference would be agreeable to
the debtor countries was con-
tained in the British note made
public today.
Although Qualification of the
American Governments policy
awaits President Hoover's return
to washington and his forth
coming conversation with Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt, Stimson said
he did not believe a general
conference will be held in any
event.
Congress Hostile
Such negotiations or converse
tions as are undertaken with
the foreign debtors will be con.
drcted individually, as was the
case when the debts were funded.
A hostile reception in Congress
awaits any proposal President
Hoover may make toward con.
sidering favorably the request of
the British and French govern
mentS for an extension Of the
Hoover war debt holiday and a
reexamination of the repara-
tons debt problem.
This became more apparent to-
day as members of Congress,

To LIFT LID
ON LIQUOR
Brewers, BootIeggers, Rum
Runners Ready to Put All
Restraint Aside

NEW YORK, Nov. IA
(IN.S.).-An elated New York
today observed a foretaste of
what the end of prohibition
will be like.
Feverish activities by famous
old-time brewers, bootleggers, rum
runners, and liquor syndicates
added to the excitement created
by many speakeaSy proprietors.
who, cheered by the huge wet
landslide on election day, threw
their places wide open.
Brewers Make Ready
Tons Of grain and cargoes of
bottles and other necessities
wert being delivered to pre-pro-
hibition beer manufacturing
plants. Their owners were pre-
pairing for immediate operation
in the belief legalized beer will
arrive with Christmas.
A huge array Of such supplies
began moving here from other
parts of the country on orders
Of the hopeful malt barons.
Bootleggers wasted no time in
trying to reap a golden harvest
from the. peoples current drip
ping wet mood, which they feel
virtually nullifies prohibition
The rum fleet, once so active
off the 12-mile limit, was expected
to be gathered again in time to
flood the city with vast supplies
Of Thanksgiving Day and pre-
Christmas holiday liquor.
Along the Canadian border,
rum rings were reported massing
their forces for one Of their
greatest smuggling drives.
But prices will be increased
about $6 case for Scotch and
rye, according to an agreement
which, it was learned, the most
powerful bootleggers in the coun.
try made at a meeting here i'm.
mediately after election day.
Canadian Liquor Scarce
Their contention was there
would be a scarcity of Canadian
liquor. But those who 60 to bars
to drink recalled that pre-holiday
prices always rose in the past.
Also, there was the not unlikely
possibility that rumrunners, fore
seeing the doom of their illicit
but profitable enterprise, would
charge all the traffic would bear.
Some circles did not share the
exuberant views that the lid on
liquor was lifted today, or that
legal beer was so very near.
Andrew McCampbell, prohibi-
ton administrator, received from
Amos w. w. Woodcock, of Wash
ington, the prohibition director,
word to enforce the Eighteenth
Amendment as in the past, and
McCampbell declared he would do
so.

both Democrats and Republicans
studied the texts of the British
and French notes delivered to
Secretary of State Stimson last
week, and made public yesterday,
while awaiting the return Of
President Hoover.
'TOst Cause" Seen
The sentiment among leaders Of
both parties in the legislative
branch of the Government was
that the European nations, in pre-
senting their pleas for further
leniency on their debts to this
country at this time are following
lost cause.
Without the consent Of Congress,
the executive branch Of the Gov
ernment is unable to suspend col
lection of debt installments when
due, except in so far as the debt
funding agreements provide for a
two-year extension of that proper
ton of the installment which is
amortization of principal.
That portion which is interest
money must be paid, default being
the only alternative.
Congressional leaders indicated
Congress will stand on the declara-
ton which it wrote into its grudg-
ing acceptance of the original one
year moratorium-that Congress
was opposed to any extension of
this moratorium, or to any further
scaling down of the debts.
