At the same time, it was made known
that the members of the cabinet are

of the 83 per cent required by the
economy act. They will now receive
s12,75O, instead of $4,000. Vice Presi-
dent Curtis also will take a is per
cent cut.
These developments in the rigid re-
trenchment policy ordered in the Gov

establishments the option of instituting,
wherever they see fit, the five-day week,

20 minutes in private audience with the

as things righted themselves there, a
heartening effect would be produced on

The administration does not intend

into a revision of war debts by any con-
certed agreement of European nations

The attitude of American powers that

way by President Hoover in letter to
Chairman Borah Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee:
While 1 do not assume it to be the
purpose Of any Of these agreements to

if it shall be so interpreted. then 1 do
not propose that the American people
shall be pressed into any line of action
or that our policies shall be in any way

problem of reparations, but said he

that the United States is not lin any
way committed to such agreements"
The State Department was particu-
larly interested in official British state
mentS attempting to wipe out any i'm
preston that European nations were

the United States. They expressed
pleasure at the British position that
the Anglo-French accord would not

governments to consult on ANY ques-

1t was made clear once more that the
American position is the same as in
June, 1881, when President Hoover pro-
claimed the one-year moratorium. He
opposed debt cancellation. but expressed
the opinion the American people would
not want to force any other nation TO
pay more than it could.
The possibility of individual discus
Sions with debtor nations has been left
open, so long as they have not made
preliminary combining agreements. Such
discussions, it is felt here. could be kept
comparatively free of reparatlons con-
