Rep Britten, Republican, of Illinois Would Get Back at All the Default- ing Nations

Washington, Dec 17-CU. P.) v Representative Britten, republican Illinois, announced he would intro duce in the house to-day bill di- recting the ways and means conn mittee to consider retaliatory measure immediately against France and other nations which re- gently defaulted their war debt payments.
 Britten said the committee would be directed specifically to consider placing 8 special tax on all private and governmental se- curities of nation in default. The resolution suggests the possibility of taxing American manufactur-, ing plants in defaulting countries and of American letters of credit and travellers checks to be used in such places.
 "The bill is aimed at France.1 Britten said in formal state- ment, "but will take in the other five countries which defaulted Thursday and is aimed to discour- age American investment in French securities as well as in American-owned French manufact- uring corporations.
 It was my original intention to put a heavy tax on all shipments of gold or money to 'defaulttng countries, but this export tax Is specifically, prohibited under the constitutions"

Local Lawyer. May Fill the Position That Was Gre ated for John Coolidge Under Governor Trunl- bull - Young Coolidge Withdrew From the Position
PLACE WAS NEVER
 FILLED AFTER THAT

Attorney J. Joseph Smith of this city lo0med today as the choice of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross to fill the vacancy on his staff created two years ago by the withdrawal of John Coolidge, son-in-law of Ex-President Calvin Coolidge. Att torney, Smith is on officer in the Reserve Officers, Corps. and as such is eligible to take his place in the governors staff alongside the veterans on the staff and such new members as Gene" Tunney of Greenwich.
 When Ex-Governor John H. fTrunbull was in power, he created a position on his staff for John Coolidge, after, the latter married lis daughter. The ceremony iii P!alnville at Ex-Governor Trum- bulrs home attracted nationwide attention.
 After Governor Trumbuli went out of office and when Gov ernor Cross took his seat, no ap- pointment was made to take care of the place left vacant by John Coolidge. Therefore. 1t Is now un- derssood, the vacancy existing for two years on the gQveEnor's staff is to l,e taken care of by the appoint ment of Attorney smith of this city.
 Attorney Smith is in the Reserve Officers Corps and is the brother Of J. Francis Smith. secretary of the State Central Committee.

EMBASSIES IN
 UNITED STATES
 ARE VERY HAPPY
Merry Yu1etide Is Expect ed Because the Prices of Choice Liquors Have All Been Clt

Washington. Dec 17--(U. P.) -
 Embassy row is celebrating a Merry Yuletide, and one of the reasons for 1t is the current low prices of the choicest imported li- quors.
 Salaries of diplomats have been reduced 25 to 60 per cent during the past two years. But the prices of the finest Scotch whiskey, gin, wines and beer are some 50 per cent lower than last year, and the embassies are bubbling with cheer.
 Last year Scotch imported. free of duty under diplomatic immunity cost $14.50 per case. This year it l ny be obtained for $S.70. Gin, which formerly cost about the same as Scotch, may be obtained for about $4.70 per dozen quarts Beer of g per cent alcoholic con- tent dropped to $7.40 per case of 4S quarts. Champagne. the life of many embassy parties, is costing as little as $25 per case. The reason for the difference in prices is the slump in British pound sterling exchange. which makes the dollar equivalent much less than in form- CT years,

 PROSPECT

New York, Dec 1z-(UP)- Alfred k.

The story, current recently had 1t that Senator Copeland, New York, would be selected for an ambassad0rial post, perhaps France, thus leaving the way open for Smiths appointment.
 Smith is also talked of as a possible mayOralty candidate i'm New York next fall. Mean. time, his editorial and business duties are regarded as possible bars to taking on . scnatOrship should such be contemplated for him. It is believed he Is in- terested in getting a comfort. able income in the depressed times, and that his business might not permit acceptance.
