tiers outside the prohibited zone.
While five lines are operating from
the Annapolis Hotel terminal and

that the rival tranScontinental lines
are unwilling to share the terminal.

standStill. Representatives of the line
met with temple officials yesterday, but
no agreement was reached. The Grey

little likelihood of such request being
granted, since the commissions order is

for American Debt Aid.

By JnitCd Press
LONDON, July 12.-Premier j..
Ramsay Macdonald appealed in
directly to the United States today
to act on war debts.
Defending the Lausanne repara-
tons agreement before the crowded
house of commons, he indicated his
fervent hope that the United States
would fulfill its promise of doing its
share towards rescuing the world
from economic peril. Europe, he
contended. has settled reparations,
as suggested by the United States.
He denied any secret combination
of European nations against the
United States had been reached at
Lausanne.
He also denied any private war
debt understanding had been
reached with the United States,
but he clearly made a hands across
the sea- appeal for war debt read
iustment.
The problem, he said, resolves
itself into one of world trade move
ment. No American, he believed,
would consider the mere putting of
Britain on its financial feet enough.
Our payments might be reduced"
he said. They might be excused
or might be abolished. but that is
not all we want. 1t would not solve
the problem of trade and inter
national exchange"

ambassador, sat in a prominent seat

NEW YORK, July 12.-The
American Legion today denied re-
sponsibility for the disability allow
ance act, which allows veterans
compensation for disability regard
less of whether it was incurred in
service Or in a taXicab accident. The
measure costs the taxpayers $1O4,-
100000 year.
Since the disability allowance was
enacted July 3, 1880, the cost has
risen to over $1O0,OO,OOO year, the
Legion statement said, with in
dications it will continue to rise.
This measure" the statement
went on, was damned through con-
gress in the closing days of the
session by the administration after
the President had vetoed an in
crease in compensation payments
advocated by the Legion.
Never Advocated 1t
This nonservice disability cost.
therefore, is not the responsibility
of the American Legion, as the le-
gion never has advocated such pay
ments to World war veterans
through action of its national con-
vention."
"Thi sadded cost of more than
SlO0,000y000 a year is the response
bility of the administration which
drew the legislation, obtained its
introduction and force dts passage
in senate and house"
The bill permits a soldier, whose
injury has been incurred since the
war, to apply for and receive from
S12 to $40 month.

The statement also attacked the
National Economy League, of which
Archibald B. Roosevelt, son of the
late President, is secretary. The or
ganlzation proposes a cut of $780,
100000 a year in the cost of vete-
rams relief.
The statement analyses increase
OF relief cost, which it estimates at
$50,000000. The factors resulting
in the increase, it says, were:
Moving up the date to Jan. /,
