money was borrowed from our own
people and loaned to these governments
in good fe1th. Our taxpayers must pay
the bonds, the proceeds of which were
SO loaned, and if the money is not re-
turned to us our taxpayers lose 1t.
I'VE had a solemn and thorough con-
ference and understanding with these
governments, reduced the amount OF
our loans and agreed upon definite
sums, respectively, based on ability TO
pay. Agreements and understandings
were reached definitely and clearly as
to amounts and terms.
In my opinion these understandings
and agreements should be lived up to
and performed without any change
whatever, either on their part or on
our part.
I'VE cannot pay other nations to lay
down some Of their armament:
Such a system has never oeen con-
ducive to peace or attractive to an non
orable and virile people:
Peace can only be obtained through
good will among nations. 1t cannot De
bought any more than permanent
profitable markets for the outlet OF cur
products can be purchased.
THE indications are that our oepVofS
are forming conspired plan to aVold
repaying the hard-earned money O!
American taxpayers which was loaned
to them in good faith. =,
I'VE would be misled If We should
think these same debtors would not
pick UP their arms whenever they de-
sired to do So If they refuse to pay
what they owe, certainly we could not
prevent them from arming themselves
to the extent Of their resources and all
thev cnlI'd barrow
"They can pay if they wish.
"I realize economic conditions are
bad, but if, in fact. they cannot pay.
they can at least recognize the debt. -,
'Give us credit in all international
transactions and let it stand as a
recognized obligation which they VIII
discharge as and when they can.

ator from Minnesota: Senator Snip

had made on the subject of war debts

SULU SULTAN SAILS
TO END MORO WAR
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, Philippine Islands, Novem-
Der 23.-Hopeful his influence as the
spiritual leader Of half million Moros
will enable him to settle the current
outlaw break among his followers,
Sultan Jamalulu of Sulu sailed for Jolo
today.
The aged Sultan said he planned to
deal personally with several score Sulus
who are still fighting the Philippine
constabulary in an outbreak which has
cost threescore lives. The Sultan, who
has been here three months attending
the insular Senate, said he had already
sent word to the outlaws asking them
to surrender when he arrives in Jolo.
Princesses Dayangdayang and Tar
hata, the Sultan's nieces, have been in
tervening vainly. Governor General
Theodore Roosevelt visited Jolo recently
to investigate the outbreak.
The Sultan said he plans a pill.
grimage to Mecca next year although
his. plan of establishing consulate"
in Mecca to look after Moro pilgrims
has been overruled by insular officials.

opposition to an extension Of the Hoo
yer moratorium.
THE Rock of Gibraltar Is crumbling
beside me-" he answered.
Out of President Hoovers extraordi-
nary consultation yesterday with Gov.
Roosevelt-from which the President
elect departed without commitment
there emerged last night statement
attributed to the administration that
England would make no debt payments
to the United States after December Is
unless her plea for reconsideration Is
met. This was coupled with the sug-
gestion from the President that the
War Debt Commission be revived.
The swirl CT war debt talk yesterday
swept from the flre-lit quiet of the
White House red room to the smoke
filled hotel room of the New York Gov
ernor, where at midnight he talked
with Democratic chieftains from Capitol
Hill
There the President-elect was report
ed to have told his conferees that Mr..
Hoover and Secretary Mills had in
formed him that Great Britain would
meet its December Is payment OF $685.
OO0, 900, but would demand new study
of the question before paying further.
Should refusal to pay ensue, the ad-
ministration was pictured as foreSeelng
an extremely grave situation.
It was indicated that the Chief Ex-
ecutive had maintained this Nation
should make a rigid stand toward the
payments due it three weeks hence.
Only Italy among the major debtor
nations has refrained from asking sus-
pension of them.
Disavows Responsibility.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reply to the Presi-
dents reported declarations was de-
scribed as q disavowal of responsibility
for debt policies until he himself as
sumes office on March 4.
Further, in his midnight round table
conference, the position Of the Presi-
dent-elect was outlined as one OF not
debating to the Democrats in the
Senate and the House until his admin
.stration begins. He was, however,
willing to discuss his views OF the ap-
preaching session.
From all the discussion-more than
two hours of 1t in the White House and
even more in the New York Governors
hotel suite-there emerged only one
official statement. Issued from the
White House with the approval Of both
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Roosevelt IN 40
words, it read:
THE President and Gov. Roosevelt
traversed at length the subjects men
toned In their telegraphic communica-
ton. 1t is felt that progress has been
made. The President confers with the
members of the Congress tomorrow,
when the subject will be further pur-
sued"
Thus it was oficially announced that
not only war debts, but world arma-
ment and the projected world monetary
economic conference had been gone
over.
Similarly around the table Of Mr..
Rooseveit's hotel room the talk extend
ed beyond debts and the international
field. The President told his fel-
low Democratic allies he believed that
with a sharp slash in the Federal
budget and the enactment of beer leg
islation in the approaching short ses-
sion of Congress, the budget could be
balanced.
He said he hoped farm relief pro-
gram along the lines of his campaign
addresses at Topeka and Sioux City.
would be enacted, and listened to an
expressed desire from several that a
special session next year could be
avoided.

I0WANS BACK WALLACE
FOR PLACE In CABINET
Son of Former Secretary Indorsed

Nv the Associated Press.

The Iowa Federated Farm Organiza-
tions dispatched telegram to Gov.
Roosevelt last night urging the appoint
ment of Henry A. Wallace Of Des
Moines, farm publications editor, as

for the post. He is the son Of the late
Henry G.. Wallace, Secretary of Agricul-
ture in the Harding administration.
Wallace, a Republican, swung his
support to Roosevelt in the recent cam
paign, maintaining that the interests OF

JOINT ACTION EXPECTED.
Herriott and Tyrell Confer on Debts
Situation in Paris.

PARIS, November % tR.-Premier
Herriot and Lord Tyrel, the British Am
bassador, talked together for some time
today, presumably about the attitude Of
both governments toward the American
debts.
They issued no comnlunique, but
there were indications that France and
Great Britain will adopt a common
policy with the object of obtaining an
eventual adjustment of the entire issue.
1T was learned on good authority
that at the last cabinet meeting it was
decided that France will follow policy
dicated that she will pay the S95, 500, 900
interest irstallment due December Is
if the United States cannot postpone
the due date.
This helps to explain recent reports
that Premier Herriot Is ready to pay
the December interest If the Hoover
moratorium is not prolonged. The
premier's friends said today that he is
ready to stake the life of his govern
ment on this issue If necessary.
Reliable information was that he and
Lord Tyrell agreed to await the official
result of the conference yesterday be-
tween President Hoover and Gov.
Roosevelt before announcing the course
which France and England will follow.
The premier announced that he would
not appear at a meeting of the par
liamentary Foreign Affairs Committee
this afternoon.
This blocked plan for detailed dis
cussion of the debts by the committee
One member moved that the Govern
ment be required to explain its position
Immediately, but the committee decided
to defer the matter until next weeks
meeting, apparently from a desire not
to embarrass the premier.
An unofficial poll of the Deputies In
the chamber lobbies made by the news
papers today showed big majority in
opposition to payment Of the December
interest, with an insistence that the
premier take no decisive step without a
Parliamentary mandate.

was an. elevator, installed during the
illness OF President Wilson. which car
ried him to the floor above. Chle1
Usher Hoover was ct the lower entrance
to meet the Governor. The latter
recognized the old employe who has 4S
years White House experience ana
greeted him as an old friend.
Secretary Mills and Prof. Moley LETT
the conference room just about 10 min
utes before the President and the Gov
ernor left. This afforded the latter an
opportunity to converse alone. Just
what the nature of their private con-
versation was has not been revealed.
The Governor and Prof. Moley left
the White House from the same en-
trance on the south side and motored
at once to the Mayflower Hotel. There
was barely a moments delay upon his
arrival at his suite, that Mr.. Roosevelt
entered upon the press conference.
Following this conference the Gov
ernor had talk with Speaker Garner
and several others prominent in the
Democratic councils and then hurriedly
dressed for the dinner in his honor at
the National Press Club. When he re-
turned to his suite after these festivi-
ties the Governor held conferences with
Democratic leaders.

The President convened his confer

of both parties promptly at 10 am.
At the last hour, Representative Smell.
