Jail THREAT DEFIED
BY LLOYD GEORGE
Declares He May Bare Cabinet
Secrets if partial Dis
closures" Continue.
NV the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December %. - David
Lloyd George, the former Liberal leader,
made a sensational declaration in the
House of Commons this afternoon, in
timating he was ready to 60 to Jail, If it
came to that, on the issue of further
disclosure by him Of cabinet proceed
ings which he threatened should any
further partial disclosures" be made.
What led up to this was the recent
partial disclosure by several members,
including Mr.. Lloyd George himself,
during debate in the House, OF proceed
ings in Lloyd Georges own cabinet in
connection with the 1928 debt settle
ment with America.
Mr.. Lloyd George at that time de-
manded publication of the full min
utes, but this was refused.
Today's outburst was occasioned by
warning by Lord Hailsham, secretary
for war, and other lords in the House
of Lords last night that disclosures of
cabinet secrets made the offender la
BILE under criminal law.
Mr.. Lloyd George hotly declared today
that it was a new thing when the
lords began to threaten members OF the
House.
Il know" he said, "that last night
there was talk about liability to two
years imprisonment. I beg to say that
il partial disclosure of this kind is given
again I shall, without any hesitancy.
take the responsibility of publishing the
whole transaction"
If he were sent to jail there would
be others who would have to be sent
there too, he said including two or
three members of the present govern
ment."
Mr.. Lloyd George also accused Prime
Minister Macdonald of an insult to the
House for absenting himself from de-
bate on unemployment recently on a
plea of indisposition, although "he was
able to travel to Lossiemouth and speak
there on unemployment on the very
night that the House was debating the
question"

NEW YORK, December 22.-If An
thony Kramer, handyman, lets Pegasus
throw him now, his goose is cooked,
his name is mud and there won't be any
Santa Claus for him.
But If Handyman Kramer is really
handy at the Tyre, If he can sit In his
prison cell and do another job as poesy
equally to the last-then 1t looks as
though he may be home for Christmas.
Kramer has II more months to serve
on q sentence for stealingy but he wants
to get out. Yesterday he sent to Judge
Franklin Taylor In Brooklyn q plea In
verse.
Man to Man" 1t was called, and It
started like this:
II cannot fawningly implore
As feeble false hearts can,
But in humility before
The power that bars my prison door
plead as man to man."
He pleaded that folly was often mis-.
taken for vice, and then swung into .
criticism Of excessive penalties:
"Tho' hearts embittered still retain
A grudge for old mistakes,
Excessive penalties are vain:
The long mon6&ony Of pain
No SegtitNt14 makes."

Correspondence
Made Publicly
White House.
ACTIOND DELAYED
UNTIL MARCH
Governor Unwilling
to Accept Joint
Responsibility.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover, having been
informed by President elect
Roosevelt that he cannot accept
IAN apparent joint responsibility"
between now and March 4 for
war debt and related policies, has
abandoned his plan for naming
a commission to deal with press
ing international problems.
Correspondence between the
two over the past few days, as
made public this afternoon at the
White House, showed them at
sharp divergence.
It was said in administration
quarters familiar with the situa-
ton, that dropping of the pro-
posed commission plan meant
that the debts situation would be
at a Standstill until after inaug-
uration.
President Hoover, in a brief formal
statement announcing the correspond
ence, said:
Gov. Roosevelt considers that it is
undesirable for him to assent to my
suggestions for cooperative action on
the foreign problems outlined in my
recent message to Congress. I will
respect his wishes"
Four kilograms Exchanged.
The exchange between the President
and his successor to- be consisted of four
lengthy kilograms.
In his brief statement attached to
the correspondence, Mr.. Hoover added:
Situations will, no doubt, develop
and will be dealt with by the admins
tration as they arise, but, OF course,
no commitments will be made for@the
next administration"
Before the texts were made public,
Mr.. Hoover had conferred at length
with Secretaries Stimson and Mills.
Mills had told newspaper men earlier
that he favored making public the
communications between the President
and the President-elect.
Correspondence Initiated Saturday.
The correspondence was initiated by
HIeSlOeQU
last Saturday, two days before his mes
sage to Congress. He wrote that the
debt problems cannot be disassociated
from the problems" to come before the
world economic and disarmament con-
ferences.
He asserted that exchange of views
in respect to debts cannot be accom-
plished in satisfactory manner through
the ordinary routine of diplomatlc con.
facts" but require free and direct
round table discussion with each gov
eminent separately"
THE routine machinery OF diplomacy
neither affords the type. OF men re-
ouired nor can they give the time from
other duties" said the President.
Diplomatic channels were the means
previously espoused by Mr.. Roosevelt
for debt discussion.
