PERU FOREIGN DEBT
MORATORIUM VOTED
Bill Extending Service Which Was
Suspended Last May Is Sent
to President.
BY the Associated Pres

BY the Associated Press
LIMA, Peru, January ga bill ex-
tending a moratorium on foreign debts
was approved by the assembly tonight
and will be sent to the President for
enforcement.
Service on Peru's foreign debts was
suspended last May until December 81
and the new law was passed to extend
that moratorium.
While the national resources will
not permit the government to fulfill
obligations contracted under foreign
loans. all fiscal bodies will deliver their
entire revenues to the ministry of
finance, the law provides.
Official quarters explained that the
measure was made necessary by a de-
crease in Peru's income, the treasury
having closed 1880 with a deficit OF
22,000,000 soles and 1881 with a deficit
estimated at 100000 soles monthly
(The sole is worth % cents)
Service on the foreign debts would
amount to about $4,000 or %, O0O,-
900 soles, leaving only about 10 600 900
soles for national expenditures. which
would be insufficient to cover the ad-
ministration's requirements

Mr.. Hoover let it be known through

After Britten had made this state

Vinson added he had not heard an
effort would be made in the committee
to provide that none of the money au-

Britten, who was Naval Committee
chairman in the last Congress, said,
summarizing his conversation with the

He gave us the impression that be-
cause of his very sincere desire for
economy in every branch of the Gov

Chinese compliance with the japanese

NEW YORK, January 23-The sug-

Civil Service Committee today.
Saying taxpayers who contribute to
the civil service pay roll have either
accepted cuts in wages or reduced buSi-
ness, Mr.. Stevens urged Congress to
ask Government employees to accept q
shorter day. Such move, he said,
would increase the number of those
employed by the Federal Government
without an increase in the total ex-
penditures of the various departments.
ITO dismiss large numbers would be
false economy" he said. "It would add
to the existing unemployment condition,
