NEW DEBT CUTS

Reopening of Question Is Held

Express Themselves

Republican and Democratic
members of Congress alike
agreed today that debt pro-
posals i. of the European ma
tions be given careful consid-
Grafton, but none held out
great hopes for reopening of
the debt question. Congress
siOnal comment was:
Senator Swanson of Virginia,
ranking Democrat on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee:
"The American people would
be lOath to relieve the tax bur-
denS of foreigners and impose
them upon themselves"
REED SEES mo CUTS"
Senator Walsh CD of Mon,
tana:
eff the debts question is ur.
gent enough and it becomes
necessary to dispose Of the
question at once, a special seS-
sion Of Congress should be
called"
Senator Reed (R0 of Pennsyl-
vania:
81 am not surprised that the
continental countries asked for
. re0pening of the debt qhes-
ton and a further moratorium,
but am very much surprised
and greatly disappointed that
Great Britain has taken up
with them.
81 don't think there is the
slightest possibility that Con.
gress will listen to further
moratorium or further debt re-
ductiOn."
Representative McDuffie, OF
Alabama, Democratic whip:
II know no parallel in his
tory for the leniency which
this country has shown ON
the question of debts"
RAGON URGES SILENCE
Representative Ragon CD OF
Arkansas, chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee:
81 do not think much of an
other moratorium, and I am all
out of humOr with the way
this government has been han
ding the war-debt question. If
our people would remain silent
on the war debts, it would give
notice we expect the debts to
be paid"
Representative Fish of New
York, to be the ranking Repub.
lican member of the House Com,
mittee on Foreign Relations:
II am opposed to any further
discussion, extension or reduc-
tiOn of debts, at least until the
foreign nations begin to reduce
their budgets for military pur-
pOses."
Senator Couzens (R.O of Michi
gan, member of the Senate
Finance Committee:
81 agree with Senator BOrah
that pOStpOnement of debts is
not in itself an abstract queS-
ton, but involves a study of the
situations behind the necessities
for pOstpOnement, and the poll
cieS that have led to the present
situation"

Roosevelt will be consulted hence Il forth befofe any important state

Roosevelt will be consulted hence forth befofe any important state department decisions are made. That would not be necessary but 1t would be considerate and the far-sighted course to pursue. A prominent democrat, Norman Dn- wis. has been in Europe for months as n member of the American dis- armament delegation and also on the preparatory committee for the world economic conference. He provides . logical Jason for the time being.
 It can be taken for granted that Governor Roosevelt contemplates no sudden upheava1s which will send shivers of fear through the business community. Almost exact- Iy a year ago in an interview with this correspondent at Albany. Gov ernor Roosevelt declared that legi- he emphasized the ad- fectfye--business had nothing to fear from democratic administra- ton at Washington. He supported his Judgment, by declaring that flew York state and numerous other states had been under demo- cratic rule for years without bus iness suffering as q consequence. \
 This was not however Q promise to eye with tolerance anything bus iness wished to do. He publicly in the recent campaign outlined his indictment of holding company py- ramiding and other financial prac- tices involved in the recent specu- lativo boom., He may be expected to proceed with his program in q deliberate way. reminiscent of the relentless method of Wilson. It is expected to be firm but 1t will be the sfirmness of q resolute skipper in rough sea, not the blind ruth lessness of man with meat axe.

He was fined S100 and costs for the gun foffng and e10 and costs for creating a disturbance last Satur- day evening in the store of Mike Cardozo, negro. of 254 Abbott ave- 1lue.
 In response to a question from Judge John K. McGrath as to why he flashed his gun, if robbery was not the motive, Zabiotney answered tI knew this storekeeper was a freacherous man." Charles Wen- doI0sl<i. IS, of III Dikeman street had his case nolled. He was with XabIotney when the weapon was pointed at the startled storekeep- er.
 The incident which started the police on a long chase for supposed bandits took place in Cardozo's ntore late Saturday evening. A de- Gcription of an automobile In which four young men made sup- posed getaway was flashed to all parts of the city. When the police found the car and arrested the four men 1t developed that two of them knew nothing about the de- tails of the excitement in the store. They had picked up Zablotney and his pal by chance. They were re-

 Tn submitting the bill, which he said contained three to four hun dred pages detailing the amount of work done, Mir Reeves, briefly pointed out some of the most irn- portant parts. He itemized cer- tain parts, such as the two appeals taken to the supreme court by ree- ervation, from the superior court. the preparation of which caused him to read 4S7 eases; inspection of 140 mortgages in preparing the papers necessary to negotiate the Reconstruction Finance Corpora. ton loan; prepared and filed zo3 documents in court In which were consolidated both the court appn- cation and the order; appeared lSS times In court to present the appll- cations: brought 2s law suits; ap- peared in court 20 times as counsel when the receiver was named de- fendant in suits: held 2S7 confer- ences lasting from several minutes to several hours: left his office many evenings as late as 7:30 and 8:3O o'clock, had no vacation ex- cepting Q week in January; dealt with an avalanche Of letters In which he answered, personally, 384.

Today zablotney admitted that he had a gun in his possession when he entered the store. He denied that he had planned to stage any ''stick-up" game but he was looking for information about some girls, whom he know and suspected that they lived in the vicinity of Cardozo's store. When he asked the storekeeper about them Cardozo stated that he knew nothing about them. When the two youths persisted in asking ques- tiohs Cardozo requested them to step into the back room of the place. Zablotney drew his gun and then excitement was in full bloom. Mrs Cardozo, who was in the store at the time, rushed to the tele- phone and shouted for the police. Zabiotney and Wendolski hurried out of the store.
 The weapon used in the scare was of foreign make and was a souvenir Zablotney claimed he picked up while on visit to Mex leo. The police retained possession of the gun.
 The case of Fred Gusti, 24, of 47 Hill street charged with operating q motor vehicle without Q license was continued until Saturday morning. 4 continuance was also given until Saturday in the case of John Strilecki, 26, of 572 Congress avenue, who is charged with breach of the peace.
