LONDON, December l2.-The COM
plete text of Great Britain's latest note
regarding the December is payment
Of the war debts installment fellows:
ID His Majesty'S government, hav-
ing received the note addressed to them
by the United States Government on

that the United States Government
welcomes suggestion for close exami-
nation between the two countries of the
whole subject dealt with in the British
note OF December l. His Majestys gov

reserve for this joint examination their

conclusions set forth in their note of

therefore. in the present communica-
ton, deal only with the last portion OF
the United States Government note
which relates to the immediate question

, the question of revision of the war debts
were revived, the, several American
notes were extremely clear on this sub
ject. The British government, State
Department officials say, must have
realized the British claim that the
$95 ,000 900 payable Thursday should be
considered as an advance on the total
sum to be agreed upon later when the
Congress decides to reopen the debt
settlement question could not be ac-
cepted by the United States Govern
ment, because 1t would mean this Gov
ernment takes 1t upon itself to make
decisions vested In Congress alone.
Possible Explanation.
The only explanation Of the note is
that the British government decided to
send this new communication to the
American Government as a result of
some understanding between Ramsay
Macdonald and Premier Herriot of
France. This Is, of course, pure con-
lecture on the part of certain authori-
ties which have been watching closely
the British and French relations since
the end of the Lausanne Conference.
All through the debt negotiations dur
| ing the last month the British have
been acting as shock troops" OF the
| debtor nations. They have sacrificed
certain advantages which the American
people would have gladly given Great
| Britain, alone, for the sake Of Euro
pean common front.
Finally when the Department oi
State was giving a sigh OF relief thai
/ the whole matter was disposed OF sat
| isfactorily and according to all indica-
tions received from the other debtors
| it was assumed those installment;
would be paid, this new British note
came to jeopardiZe everything, should
the British stick to their point Of view
that the payments must be considered
as an advance on the future debt set
tlement.
1t is considered possible the British
note was meant to ease the position o.
| the French government, which is fight
| ing a hard battle in the Chamber tht
week. and as the British have beer
taking the initiative of opening the deb
| controversy they wanted to pave the
way for France to follow their lead nov
| and inform the Government OF this
country that the $20,000,000 due next
| Thursday will be considered as an ad'
vance on the final settlement. 1t Is
! asserted in well-informed quarters thai
it is only under this condition that the
| French Chamber would agree 10 make
| the December payment.
Prompt Reply Praised.
In the Senate today Senator Reed
| Republican, of Pennsylvania praised
the prompt manner in which the Amer
| ican Government dealt with the British
proposal, and said: II agree to every
word that was said by Secretary Stim-
SON."
Representative Treadway, Republican
of Massachusetts on the House floor
said the conditions proposed by Great
| Britain were such that he, as member
of Congress and Of the Ways and Means
Committee, which would have jurisdic-
ton, would vote to decline to receive
the payment if its acceptance involved
agreement with the British position.
He added that should Britain make
unconditional payment, he felt the
request of Great Britain for a fairly
prompt conference should be granted y

payment pending the projected World
Economic Conference tentatively sched-
uled for some time early next year.
A. movement hostile to payment de-
veloped also among the Republicans of
the Left at a meeting which was ad-
dressed by Pierre Flandin. former
finance minister, and Francois Pietri,
former minister Of the budget. The
general opinion was that the govern
ment would have hard time getting
Parliament's approval for payment with
the reservations contemplated.
A semi-official note published BY the
Hayas News Agency, said: zone thing
is certain-that Premier Herriot viii
not separate France fr0n England on
this question, and that he viii ask Par
lament to adopt an attitude identical
with that of England"
Regrets Strict Application.
The Socialist resolution for post
ponement asserts that France is con-
fronted by the clear refusal OF delay
which the United States made to Great
Britain. 1t expresses regret that Amer
ice insists upon strict application OF the
debt agreements and cannot accept any
conditions or political declarations
which do not conform to the terms OF
JHOSe dBTeSuleuLS.
The resolution invites the Govern
ment to declare that the circumstances
under which the original agreements
were ratified have been modified by the
Young plan, the Hoover moratorium.
and by the constant intervention OF
the United States in relations between
European creditors and debtors"
"Under these conditions" the resolu-
ton says, France, like other debtors
and without being in default, has the
right to contest the execution of the
debt accordS.
Moreover, desirous to avoid menacing
the future of Europe and the world by
making a payment which is not JUS
tilted, the Socialist group recommends
that the government, in accord with
England, summon a general conference
for adjustment of international obli-
cations"
Shortly after o'clock the Chamber
of Deputies went into session, and the
premier mounted the rostrum. Outside
there was a heavy police guard to pre-
vent manifestations against payment OF
the December installment.

BRITISH DEBATE WEDNESDAY.
Expected to Pay With Reservations
Despite Warning from U. s.

LONDON, December IL R.-Stanley
Baldwin, acting head of the government
in the absence of Prime Minister Mac
Donald, announced today that general
debate on war debts will be held in the
House of Commons Wednesday.
He said no special legislation would
be required for withdrawal OF gold from
the Bank of England to cover the debt
installment due Thursday.
There will be full and free discussion
on all phases Of the debts, with COM
prehenSive statement by Neville Cham
berlain, chancellor of the exchequer
he promised.
The members bombarded him with
questions as to whether the House will
be given a chance to vote on payment
or non-payment of the sos $50, 900 due
Mr.. Baldwin said no special resolution
would be introduced.
Several members told him the Amer
ican Congress and the French Chamber
of Deputies would discuss the matter
and they asked whether France and
Italy were going to pay the December
installment.
Mr.. Baldwin replied that what is
wanted here is an open discussion In
the Commons without reference to what
any other government Is doing.
He made it clear that the British gov
ernments policy of paying the debt
when it is due had been decided upon
independent of Parliament's approval OF
disapproval. -.

The old way was to send John
 ny off to his aunt's house for the day, and then escort him back
 home at night, lead him up to his | mothers room, uncover something in fussy new pink contrivance called a basinette, and say: "See
 what God has sent you, dear. A
 lovely new little brother" Johnny, looking from the bed and his mothers smile that had always been for him alone. back I to the tiny newcomer in the crib,
 suddenly sensed disaster. He knew jeal0usly for the first time in his life-a terrible tortur- | ing thing, and a sudden hatred of | his rival possessed his small heart with a cruel fury. This first re- vulsion of feeling that a child has | for a new baby in the family often will remain through life. Real love and affection are difficult to establish later. Of course, much depends upon the age of the first born when the cataclysm occurs. If child is two, the breach is
 more easily bridged. But if he is
 three or four or five, that is when those cases of jealousy and dis like are are only too likely to defy all effort at reconciliation. Parents Need Tact. It is only too true that love does not always exist btween the children of the same parents. Sometimes other things cause the gulf between them, of course, but am convinced that lack of tact and kindness at the time of the | birth of new baby are respon- sible for more of it than we sus- pect.
 The new way is to begin long i before the event takes place that will change Johnnys small world for him and to say, Darling,

 Perhaps he will pout and say.
 q don't want any baby. I'm your baby"
 Then how would this do? But he would be our baby your and daddy's and mine. He would belong to all of us and we three would try to make him
 happy and show him how we
 loved him." Such maneuvering is almost sure to change any child's atti- tude. By the time the baby is

 Handsome Teddy" Spector, 31- year-old stock broker who is de- scribed by an ex-wife as "a tall, ood-looking brute who certainly has fast line," had two wives this time last year-but today he hasn't any.
 Petite Mrs Pearl Haworth Spector. operator of a beauty par Tor at Buffalo, N. Y., who was only IS. years old when Spector married her after a whirlwind courtship in 1919, has just won her divorce.

 Why did Teddy" Spector, marry when he already had wife /? Pearl Haworth Spector declared Teddy had told her that Olive had threatened to jump off the roof of 8 10-story building" if he didn't marry her. Olive. 1t seems, thought Teddy" already had his divorce; unfortunately. Teddy" had over- looked this detail. But when wo- man threatens to jump off the roof of a 10-story building. that's no time for delaying matters--so Teddy" married her imthediately.
 Such is the odd drama that has just been unfolded in the courts at Buffalo and Port Chester, which furnishes one of the most unusual love triangles revealed in 1892.
 The recent phase of the three cornered romance began on March 28. 1881, when Teddy" married Olive in Port Chester-which, 1t would seem, Is town where they have buildings 10 stories high.

 They were married in Buffalo in 1919, she said, when she was a 15- year-old office girl. Tall. dark and handsome Teddy" Spector won her heart and her hand-and then left her after IS months of what welded bliss.
 Mrs Spector No. 1 had two big ideas. One was to get a divorce. The other was to tell the prosecut- ing officials in Port Chester about Teddy" Eventually. she did both.
 "He was a tall, good-looking brute" says Pearl-with a faint suspicion of wistfulness.
 Mrs Spector says Teddy" left her in 1920 with this announce ment: i've got plenty of brains and I'm not going to waste them fussing around here!"
 Pearl waited a dozen years for her revenge. At recent confer ence between Spector and their at- torneys,. she confronted Teddy" with this boast and asked him: "How is it that as brainy a man as you would marry a woman while he was still the husband of an- | other?
 Whereupon, Pearl said, Teddy replied:
 Well. I had to marry Miss Bor- den. She threatened to jump off a 10-story building if I didn't"
 In New York, Teddy" issued a statement saying that he had mar ried Miss Borden under the impress sion that his first wife had divorced him during his absence. He said Pearl had called him on the phone and told. him he was free man. Pearl said this was the baloney; that a few days before his marriage
