together with those Army and Navy
units stationed in and near Washington.
Whether the West Point cadets would
march was uncertain. 1t was pointed
out that the midshipmen at ANNAPOLIS
could be brought here at relatively
small expense and If they participated
in the parade it was likely the cadets
also would.
It was made clear. however, that Gov.
Roosevelt insisted that whatever was
done be without expense to the Federal
Government or to the States.

Costello pointed out that there will
be 38 Democrats who are Governors at
the time of the inaugural and it is likely
that these will attend with their STATS.

BEER LEGISLATION
SPEEDED BY RAINEY
Summons House Ways and Means
Group to Discuss
House Action.

Representative Rainey, the House
Democratic leader, summoned available
members Of the House Ways and Means
Committee to meeting today to discuss
means of expediting beer legislation.
It was expected or 10 Of the COM
mittee's rs members would be present
II am not certain just what the Ways
and Means Committee can do regarding
beer BILL" Rainey said. Already
there is tax on beer 1t seems to me
beer legislation is simply question for
the Judiciary Committee to handle by
an amendment to the Volstead act.
Then the present tax could apply
to all beer legally sold"
Rainey said he was anxious for beer
legislation at the earliest possible time
The Democratic House leader, who has
participated in conferences with Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt, was asked If the
Governor had urged passage Of the
beer bill this session.
Mr. Roosevelt can speak for him
self" Rainey replied.
Rainey said he concurred in the pre-
dict;on Of Speaker Garner that the
House would pass beer bill this

The following is the text Of the PreSi-
dents statement on the debt situation
issued this afternoon:
The communications submitted by a
number of governments in substance
request that their war debts to the
United States should be again reviewed;
that our Government should enter into
an exchange of views on this subject,
and that during the period Of such a
conference there should be a suspension
of the payments due to the United
States on December Is next.
This presents problem which merits
thoughtful consideration of the Ameri-
can people. To avoid misunderstanding
it seems desirable to summarize brleny
the complex questions and the policies
consistently followed by the United
States in respect to these debts and
my views as to the course which should
be pursued.
/. These debts we're created and
were undoubtedly based on the pro-
posal of the borrowers, no doubt In
good faith, and the assumption OF the
Government of the United States that
they were actual loans which would be
repaid. Had 1t not been for this as
sumption it is hardly to be supposed
that this Government would have been

RE|CHSTAG CONTROL
BLOCKS HITLER BID
Nazi Chief Declares Parlia-
mentary Regime Impossible
and Undesirable.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, November 23-Adolf Hitler
the Fascist, advised President Won Hin
denburg today the formation of gov
ernment on parliamentary basis was
both impossible and undesirable and the
cabinet crisis could be solved only with
a cabinet directly responsible to the
presidential authority.
Hitler told the President such an au-
thoritarian presidial cabinet should
be authorized If necessary to govern
without Parliament. The Nazi said he
was ready to head such government
and place his movement at the disposal
of the Chief Executive for this purpose.
The Nazi leaders indicated they be-
ieved Hindenburg was weakening in
his opposition to Hitler. At any rate,
they said all the doors had been left
open for further negotiations.
Hirdenburg Defines Stand.
The stock market, anticipating the
establishment of new presidial gov
ernment, was cheerful Gains of one
or two points were sustained at the
close.
The aged chief executive further
defined yesterday his limited commits
sion to Hitler to form a cabinet. He
was reported to have said he did not
know the Nazi well enough-or have
enough confidence in him-to permit
him to form a presidial cabinet respon-
sible only to Won Hindenburg.
Already Hitler had been advised the
pr0cidlr1t d0CiTad q 0nUnF0r11af1f ~
manding a more or less stable majority
in the Reichstag. This became in
creasingly difficult when Alfred Hugen-
burg's Nationalists refused overtures
from the Nazis in the direction of a
three-siied coalition among those two
and the Bavarian Peoples party. No
single party has a majority in the
Reichstag, and the Populists were not
believed to have looked favorably on a
Hitler coalition either.
Nazi Advisers Divided.
Injected into this further apparent
deadlock was the reported division in
Hitler's own advisory ranks as to his
course.
One group was believed to be urging
him to accept all the Presidents con-
di:ions en- the theory that once Hitler
wis ClloCOi1SCQ III b4IC SAldAASCA1OA oCoS
the President would judge him by his
work and give him an increasingly free
hand.
Another advised against bartering
with other party leaders toward ma
jority. The Nazis are the strongest
single party in the Reichstag. Hitler
himself was not impressed with the idea
OF bowling to the parliamentarianism
against which he has been fighting.

CINCINNATI, November 23.-A reso-
luton urging an amendment to the
Federal Constitution to provide for 9
five-day week and six-hour day was
before the convention of the American
Federation Of Labor today.
The resolution, one of score Of pro-
posals submitted by delegates, said the
proposed amendment would be emer-
gency legislation. 1t was proposed fol-
lowing a declaration of the Executive
Council for shorter hours.
Though no specific recommendation
was made by the council, President Viii

the country faces the alternatives Of
the 30-hour week or the task of feed
ing a permanent army Of millions OF
unemployed.
Scores of Plans Presented.
Scores OF proposals designed to solve
labor's ills poured in as the deadline
was reached last night for presenting
resolutions. Committees worked into
the early morning on suggestions for
labor legislation.
One, declaring that the development
of machinery was fast lowering the age
limit of workers, favored establishment
of an old-age pension. Another, by
Florence Hanson, delegate from the
Federation of Teachers, asked not only
condemnation of salary cuts for teach
ers, but requested the convention to
declare itself against retrenchment in
school funds.
Additional resolutions included an
assertion that chain stores grow at the
expense of the people" and suggested
that steps be taken to organize work.

public works to aid business in times
of depression. 1t heard, too, Arch
bishop John T. McNicholaS of the arch

an incentive to speed up work beyond
human endurance"

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 23.-Oficial COM
ment was refused today on q statement
attributed to the administration at
Washington that the British govern
ment had indicated it would meet the
war debts payment due December is,
but would make no further payments
until the United States considers re-
vision of the debts.
A government spokesman would not
even say whether the statement in
Washington was based on any ofhcial
British communication. He emphasized
that until the intentions Of the Ameri-
! can Government are known, comment
on the debts question here will not be
| possible.
| In another source it was said that the
British government at no time has hint
ed at a default. There has been up to

four declaration several years ago that
Great Britain would demand from her
debtors only enough to cover her own
payments to the United States.
No Fear for Sterling.
Neville Chamberlain, describing Great
/ Britain's debt note to the United States
as a request for provisional suspension
of payment during discussion of the
problem said today that he saw no
reason to worry regarding the strength
of the pound sterling because of the
uncertainty OF the outcome Of these ne
gotiations.
The chancellor of the exchequer
was addressing luncheon Of newspaper
publishers.
'I have heard the suggestion that
this uncertainty is the reason for the
weakness OF sterling" he said, but ]
cannot see that there Is any ground
for anxiety on that account.

suspension OF payment while the matter
is under discussion between the two
