PARIS PRESSING SHORT
MORATORIUM EXTENSION
London Reaction to Proposal for
Temporary Settlement Expected
to Be Favorable.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 26.-London
morning papers today greeted with en-
thusiasm Yesterdays announcement
that the Bank of England would pay
off its entire Franco-American credit
February /. The papers hailed the an
nouncement as striking proof of Great
Britains financial soundness.
The News Chronicle said the banks
decision should encourage confidence
abroad in the pound sterling. The
Morning Pest described it as "wel-
come announcement" while the Finan-
cial News said it was sterling feat"
Best News in Months.
"It will confirm the growing appre-
citation of Britain'S financial strength,
the Daily Telegraph said. The Times
said it was the best news the money
market has had in many months, a
notable sign of strength with psyche
logical effects disicult to overestimate." F"
The French plan for temporary set
tIement of the reparations problem by
granting a new moratorium for short
period on German payments at the END
of the Hoover holiday is expected to
be favorably received here.
Hope Held for Farley.
The British government has been
urging some such short moratorium
after the expiration of the Hoover holi-
day.
If cooperation is obtained from Ger
many, which has urged a permanent
settlement based on its declared in
ability to pay reparations any longer, it
was thought the postponed inter
national debts conference, which was
to have met at Lausanne yesterday,
might still be held.

i. s. LIKELY TO ACT
IN PORT BLOCKADE
Joint Move With Britain
Looms if Japan Forces
Issue in China.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Joint action by the British and the
United States in the Far East to pro-
tect their vital interests in that part
Of the world was looming today when
reports from Toxic indicated the Japa-
nese government intends to force the
issue in China by use of extensive naval
force.
At the same time it is reported the
Navy Department has decided to with
draw from the Asiatic feet seven de-
stroyers and the airplane tender Jason,
Admiral william Pratt, chief of naval
operations, explained, however, that this
litical situation in the Far East. When
the plan for the reorganization of the
United States feet was decided last
year, the cruiser SQUADRON was moved
from the East to the West Coast.
In the same plan of reorganization
1t was provided that seven destroyers
from the Asiatic feet will be ordered to
the West Coast and be replaced by gun
boats, which are more adequate fCI
service in the Far East and especially
on the Yangtze River This is being
done now. AS for the Jason, it is
stated she will be replaced by the more
| modern and efficient airplane carrier
Langley. -
AS far as the possible or probable CO.
operation with Great Britain to protect
our common. interests in the Far East
the situation is viewed as follows:
Blockade Appears Likely.
The Japanese have made a spec
! tacular display in China to obtain theil
| own ends. Unfortunately for them
the mere display Of force has brought
them nowhere. They are today in the
unpleasant position of being forced tt
| make their spectacular forces and, since
the Chinese people, not the govern.
ment, appear to be unyielding in re-
gard to the boycott the japanese are
| likely to be compelled to use the princi-
! pal trump card in their hands,
| blockade of the Chinese ports.
The American Government still hopes
that the japanese will not resort to
such an action, which is really amount
ing to war. Still, it is conceded in
| official quarters that the developments
in the last three days indicate Japan
will have to force the issue and pro-
/ claim blockade of the Chinese ports

HOOVER TO LAUNCH
BUY-IN-U. S. DRIVE
Will Ask Legislation Requiring
Government Departments to
Purchase American Goods,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover intends to ask Con-
gress shortly for legislation that would
require Government departments to
purchase American made goods in
preference to materials manufactured
abroad
In recent purchases of supplies by
various Federal branches, the Presi-
dent has found that low bids have been
offered on foreign-made goods
1t is his understanding that in many
cases these low prices have been made
possible in part by a departure from
the gold standard by various European
countries.
He has decided, therefore, to take
steps requiring Government supply
purchasers to accept bids ON American
made goods whenever these materials
are suitable or available, as compared
with goods manufactured abroad.

D. c. Deficit of $2,234,OO
In 1882 Seen at Hearing

A 1882 deficit of $2,234,O00 in
current revenues is being faced
by the District, it was indicated
today in hearings released by
Representative Clarence Cannon
Cd of Missouri, chairman of the
District appropriations Subcom-
mittee of the House.
According to Major Daniel
Donovan, District auditor, in his
testimony before the Subcommit-
tee, it is the first deficit in cur
rent revenues of the District
since the period between 1902
and 1910.
BY a deficit, Major Donovan
explained, he did not mean that
the District was actually lin the
red" but was forceG to balance
the budget by drawing on the
$6,50O,000 surplus and the $780,,
900 operating capital.
The District surplus will be eX-
hausted by June 80, he said, and
the city faces the prospect of
operating solely on revenues and
will have impaired its operating
capital of $3,OOO,O0O by about
$1,200,000.
In two years, 1881, and 1892
Major Donovan said the District
has exceeded its current revenues
by the expenditures in the amount
Of 81, 100000.

FACESFA|LURE

The plan to take 100000 from
the Municipal Center fund and
expend it for relief of the unem-
ployed appeared doomed today
unless civic leaders can give de-
tails of expenses of relief units.
All relief units have been asked
for detailed statements as to what
sums were expended for salaries
and other expenses, but few have
replied.
The matter is now before the
District subcommittee of the Ap-
preparations Committee of the
House and it was indicated that
unless such information is imme-
diately forthcoming the proposal
to divert the 100000 will be un-
favorably reported.
