that the British case for suspen-

Meanwhile, the discussion OF the
situation overshadowed all other
things as the members gathered
in the lobbies Of the House OF
Commons. The discussion pene-
trated to the government offices
in Whitehall as well, although
the American reply to the British
note suggesting extension OF the
Hoover moratorium had not yet
been received.
Foreign Office officials were under

Campaign Formally Closes
With Gifts Half Million
Short of Goal.
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
|. CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
All Units Report More Contri-
buttons Coming in to Aid
Suffering.

Undaunted by the fact the formal
campaign of the Community Chest has
ended more than half million dollars
short of the goal, dogged army OF
5000 workers last night decided to con-
tinue informal solicitation in an effort
to fill to the brim the now gaping Chest.
With little more than half its quota
raised, the 1900 workers Of the Govern
ment Unit, through their chairman,
Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, asked for
and received the chance to continue So
liciting in the Government departments,
bureaus and independent Offices until a
more representative showing has been
made by that unit.
"The Government Unit can and will
make a better showing, and ask that
we be allowed to continue the drive, I"
Gov. Campbell said. "I am convinced
we have done little more than turn the
surface in our unit, and that, when we
complete our work, there will be a far
more respectable figure listed beside the
name Of the Government Unit when
the final contributions are tabulated. +"
S1,S45,65I Contributed.
The Chest, according to last nights
partial reports, had received total Of
81, ,845, ,651 10 toward goal Of $2,419, ,7S7.
All units reported more contributions
coming in, with the Group Solicitation
ready reporting approximately ITO per
cent of its quota and the Metropolitan
Unit, with 81 per cent Of its quota,
confident of going over the top when
the contributions already reported ready
are received
Announcing that the formal drive,
with its report meetings and extensive
campaign machinery Is closed, but that
informal solicitation could continue,
Campaign Chairman Newbold Noyes
said:
II am encouraged to believe we can
almost achieve our goal. All you work
ers say more can be done. Informally,
the campaign can continue. We will
continue to try to meet the city's need.
We will be on the streets days more
before this thing Is ended. I want my
Executive Committee to hold together
until we. see the actual end Of this CAM
paign and I viii meet and work with
them until the last contribution to the
1888 Chest Is In. I thank you all.
Says No One win Starve.
"And let me add-no one will starve
in Washington this Winter"
When the reporting was completed
last night, there remained 81 days of
1888 for which the estimated $6,629 for
each day Of Community Chest work In
the year had not been provided.
The total Of contributors was 104, ,372,
nearly 10000 less than gave last year.
By far the best showing was made
by the Group Solicitation Unit on the
basis Of last nights final formal reports.
The unit raised a total of $297, ,372.53
from 5000 subscribers, which was ap-
proximately 1898 per cent Of its quota,
with contributions still to be reported.
The largest amount poured into the
Chest by any one group was that Of the
Special Gifts Unit, headed by Clarence
A. Aspinwall, whose final formal reports
showed total Of $731, ,617.89 subscribed

ABOARD ROOSEVELT TRAIN EN-
ROUTE TO WARM SPRINGS, Ga,
November 24.-President-e Franklin
D. Roosevelt says he believes "the most
convenient and effective" contacts be-
tween the United States and Europe on
the war debts can be made through the
existing channels Ct diplomacy.
This statement, which marked the
elimination Of his active two-day con-
sideration of the war obligations, was
regarded by persons close to him as
declaration against the creation Of a
debt commission to deal with debtor
nations.
The statement, issued last night
shortly before he arrived in Lynchburg,
Va, ON his way to a vacation in Warm
Springs, Ga, reasserted his previously
outlined position that the question Of
dealing with the December is payments
is one for President Hoover and the
Seventy-second Congress to deal with.
The President t-elect said the individual
debtor should at all times have access
to the creditor to put facts before the
latter and that the creditor should
always give thoughtful and confederate
consideration to these facts.
Agree ON Four Principles.
He said he agreed with President
Hoover on the four principles that the
debts were actual loans made with the
intention that they should be repaid: /:
that the debts were to be considered
individually; that the settlements should
take into consideration the capacity Ct
the debtor nations to pay, and that
reparat tions had no relations to debts.
"Once these principles of the debt
relationships are established ana recog-
nized," he added, "the methods by
which contacts between our Govern
ment and the debtor nations may bs

POLICE ARE READY
TO BLOCK REDS
Squads Stationed Near White
House to Prevent Demon
stration of Children.

The big iron gates to the White House
grounds were ready to be closed today
on the 80-odd Communists, who came to
Washington to file Thanksgiving day
protest with President Hoover against
what they termed 'tchild misery" in the
United States.
The vanguard of the marchers, three
private automobiles, crossed the Dis
trict line on the Bladensburg road at
II o'clock. They were followed by
other groups Of three or four cars at
intervals of five minutes. In each case
District motor cycle policemen chased
down the cars and forced the drivers
to halt. The policemen inquired Of the
drivers whether the children passengers
were to take part in any demonstration
The answers invariably were negative
and the machines were allowed to pro-
coed under escort of a police motor
cycle when the drivers gave a definite
address to which the children were to
be taken. Many of the children were
colored.
Although leaders OF the children's
hunger march said a minimum of 100
children and 325 adults would take part
in the Child misery" protest, police
reports declared that not more than
80 were in the delegations which came
from Baltimore. This protest is de-
signed, according to the Communists
as mighty prelude" to the hunger
march.
The President, It was learned. has nc
