COMPROMISE is
URGED TO CUT
VETERANS AID
10 Per Cent Slash in All
Pension, Compensation
Checks Proposed.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA COM
promise cut in veterans appropria-
lions, effecting q temporary saving
without changing existing laws, is
being discussed by members of con-
gress as a way out of the dilemma
presented by conflicting demands
for economy, and for still larger
benefits, each sponsored by consid-
cradle portions of the population.
3 The plan calls for 10 per cent
reduction in all checks mailed out
by the government for pensions, dis
ability compensation and allowances,
and death compensation.
1t would mean a saving of approx
imately $54,500,000 if the laws af-
fecting payments are unchanged, the
same amount President Herbert
Hoover recommended saving by an
IL per cent cut in the pay OF all fed
eral employees.
Ignore Pay Cut Plan
Congress has ignored the pay cut
plan so far, and probably will con-
/ tinue to do so.
The house has passed one of the
annual supply bills without includ-
ing it, and the senate economy COM
mittee now is discussing whether
or not it shall make recommended
on the subject.
However, if pension and COM
pensation checks are cut instead,
Mr.. Hoovers recommendation that
$127,000,000 be trimmed from vet
Grams benefits by changes in exist
ing law probably would not be
adopted, and the budget he pre-
sented would be unbalanced by that
additional amount.
The special joint committee on
veterans administration has gone
about its task of finding ways to cut
the billion-dolla veteran budget
reluctantly, and already has in
dicated it may spread its investiga-
ton over months.
1t is possible it will decide to
recommend the small temporary
cut, in order that its investigation
may be carried on for an indefinite
period.
Hoover Urges Reductions
Such action probably would be
accepted by veterans with more grace
than amendments to the law, Just
as the American Federation of La
Dor worked for furloughs for federal
employees rather than alteration of
the basic pay scale.
The budget Mr.. Hoover presented
to congress lacked 1907, 192187 of
balancing. If his savings in the vet
Grams bureau are adopted the
shortage will amount to more than
$434, 100000.
Brigadier- General Frank Hines,
director of the veterans admins
tration, has recommended perma-
nent reduction of veterans benefits
by about $85, 200, 900. A saving half
as great was refused by each house
of congress last year.
The problem of balancing the
budget has received little attention
in congress SO far, although two
weeks of the brief session have
gone.

RAIL LABOR HEADS
IN SESSION HERE
Whitney Says Meeting Is for
Purpose of Studying Six
Hour Day Plan.

Refusing to discuss the pay-cut pro-
posal which is being considered by the
railroads, members Of the Railway Labor
Executives Association, which repre-
sents organized rail labor. went into
session here today at a special meeting
called to consider other matters. ac
cording to A. F. Whitney. the chair
man. who is president of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen.
Declaring that the brotherhoods have
no official knowledge of any proposals
for a reduction, Whitney said that the
meeting, which Will likely last through
tomorrow. at the Hamilton Hotel was to
receive the report Of a committee
studying the six-hour day plan, now on
hearing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and to consider indorsing
certain members of the Senate and
House whose candidates. have been laid
before labor for study.
The men We represent haven't any,
thing left to cut" said Whitney, on ar
rival here today
Rumors that the labor leaders would
confer here with representatives of the
executives could not be confirmed, either
In labor circles, or at the headquarters
Of the Association of Railway Executives.
According to the New York Times this
morning, the railroads have decided not
to seek a reduction through the ma
chinery provided by the Board of Me-
diation, the governmental agency fol.
handling rail matters, but instead, by
conferences. such as were held last year,
and ended in the brotherhocds taking a
10 per cent cut for one year on,y. This
time expires January 81.
Advice from railroad official circles
has been that either Is or 20 per cent
cut-that is, either 5 or 10 pes cent in
addition to the reduction now i'll effect
would be sought.

LONDON AND PARIS
EXPECTED TO PAY
Not Likely to Ask for Revision
Until After U. S. Elects
President.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The expectation that Great Britain
and France will pay their annual in
stallment ON war debts due the United
States this December and then ask
for revision later is growing stronger
every day.
Because Of the delicacy Of the ques-
ton in relation to the presidential elec-
tion. the foreign government repre-
sentatives are loath to discuss the
American Government, so that nothing
in the way of a pre-arranged plan has
been developed. For the allied coun-
tries to ask for revision ct this time
would, of course, embarrasS the Pres
ident-he could not refuse to discuss
the question, yet if he agreed to do
so it would be promptly seized upon by
opponents as sign that he will agree
to cancellation.
See Political Effect.
The foreign governments know this,
as they recognize how the debt problem
has been banded about in their own
parliamentary politics. But there will
be little time after the November elec-
tion to work out any plan and, also,
there is no telling the mood of Congress
in December. There are those who
think Congress would be in a different
frame of mind this December than it
was last December, when it went on
record not only against cancellation. but
against negotiation of any kind through
a debt-funding commission. 1t is un-
likely the President will ask for the
funding commission, as he has full
power to handle the question through
diplomatic channels.
The probabilities are that the allied
countries will pay their installmentS
December Is and then wait for favor
able opportunity to take the matter up
| with the United States, whether it is
with Mr.. Hoover or Mr.. Roosevelt If
the President is beaten for reelection,
the allies would most certainly gain
nothing by asking for a conference with
the present administration.
Nothing to Be Gained Now.
II Mr.. Roosevelt is elected, they will
prefer to wait until after March 4. In
any event, the adverse effect on French
and British credit in the United States
through default on payments is too
serious, from the European viewpoint,
to be contemplated.
AS for European opinion, which has
expected that American concessions
would be made following the Lusanne
agreement, it is taken for granted that
the peoples O"erseas will be informed
that the December IS payment in no
way prejudices the opportunity to OBJ
tain a general revision. In fact, it is
assumed abroad that American opinion
will be more favorably inclined to con-
cessions if the December IS payment is
made as sign of good faith and in
tention.
Some form of revision is considered
inevitable. but it will take time to per-
suade Congress to reopen the question
and the payments on December IS may
make it easier for Congress to ex-
examine the whole problem.
