TIE DEDTC Both Oppose
ILL WAN DDlO See Key To Problem In Foreign Trade Expansion

! Aside from the political aspects
of disarmament, the debtors argue
that such reduction would not inn
portantly affect the ability of ma
tions to pay international debts.
This is for two reasons: first, re-
duction of taxes through armament
cuts depresses the incomes of those
employed in any military fashion,
increases unemployment and other
wise forces expenditure of at least
part of the funds theoretically
saved by cutting armament.
Second, even if armament were
reduced and money saved, such
money might not be acceptable in
the United States since it would
have to be converted into dollars.
In the case of deprecated eurren-
cies, the cost of dollars may seem
prohibitiyely high. In other cases,
necessities for purchasing many
dollars may cause the currency to
! depreciate.
!, Some American commentators,
while they admit the logic of these
arguments, nonetheless hold that
they do not prove anything about
capacity to pay.
Smith Has Plan
Were the eventual settlement of
the problem to take line toward
expansion of foreign trade, some
plans similar to that of Alfred E.
Smith might be considered.
Smith suggested 20-year debt
holiday, during which period 20
percent of the value purchases
made by debtor nations in the
F, United States would be credited to-
ward reduction of their debts.
| This would reduce the debts of
, the leading debtors from 25 to IS
! percent, and theoretically would
stimulate foreign trade.

Two residences at sl7 and SIG
Thomas street and small wares

destroyed by a fire which started
a few minutes after . o'clock
last night.
Albert Curry, eolored, owner OF
the places, says that he left his
home at sfS Thomas street and
went to see sister. He was gone
about 20 minutes and started

denee he saw the street illuminate

He ran towards his property and
reaching there found the three
buildings burning. They appeared
to have been saturated with oil
and could not be approached.
An alarm was sent in from Box

sponded. When the apparatuses

llly AsaoeIafed Presnl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The
scheduled meeting between Presi-
dent Hoover and President-Elect
Roosevelt to consider war debts
finds both in general agreement
that expansion of foreign trade
would help solve the problem and
that the debts should not be can
celled.
As to the handling of the united
demand of Americas debtors that
the payments due December Is be
postponed, neither party leader has
publicly voiced an opinion.
The total due December Is is
$125, $4,000, including interest
and principal. Great Britain, ow-
ing sos, 550,000 on that date, is
the biggest debtor. Frances pay
mcnt amounts to $19,261, 900. The
balance is owed by Belgium, Czech

Estonia and Latvia have served
notice of such postponement.
22 Billions Due by 1887
The total principal sum owed is
SILL 10000 The average in
terest rate is 2.135 percent, and
the total sum which the United
States was to have received by
1887, the maturity of the debts, is
$22, 18S.000, 000--including both
principal and interest.
One of the main objections of
foreign nations to the present debt
schedule is that commodity prices
have fallen so far that twice as
much goods must be sold now to
get the money as was necessary
when the schedules were made.
The debtors further hold to the
United States policy that the debts
were to be paid according to ca

This endurance flying is as

not half so simple.

not being able to sleep, Mrs,

D. c. INSURANCE
RATES JUMP

Business and industrial con-
Germs in the District, required by
law to carry compensation in
surance for employees, are protest
ing a flat increase of 26.9 per
cent on their premiums.
Officials of several concerns
expressed the opinion that the
District employer is caught be-
tween two grinding forces, since
they are required by law to carry
the insurance but there is no
Governmental agency operating
which has control over the rates
they must pay.
Such control might be avail
able under the new code, which
has not yet been adopted. This
would place supervision under
the insurance department of the
District government. The United
States Compensation Commission,
it was said at that department
today, has no control over rates.
The rates are determined To-
cally, or at least are applied
locally through the District of
Columbia Rating Bureau, a
branch of the National Council
on Compensation Insurance which
is composed of representatives of
insurance companies and various
commissions from all parts Of
the country.
