wide economic consequences that
might follow reputation by some
of the worlds greatest powers.
Creditor Nations Cautious ,-f
Leaders in Congress refused to
be impressed by the possibility of
default and repudiation. They
conceded that some of the smaller
debtors might default-indeed,
Greece already has-but they do
not believe that the principal
debtors-Great Britain, France,
Italy, and Belgium-will ever re-
pudiate their solemn obligations.
In the case of Great Britain
and France, it was pointed out,
self-interest alone would operate
to prevent such a ,debacle.
Irrespective of their indebted
ness to the United States, both
Britain and France are great
creditor nations. There is scarcely
a nation in Europe, or for that
matter in the world, the United
States excepted, that does not
in some form or manner owe
Britain and France money.
For these two powers to set

PARIS, Nov. "a GNS),
France and Great Britain will
probably act in concert in dealing
with the United States demand
that the December war debt in
stalments be paid, officials said
today.
The position of the French gov.
ernment was reported somewhat
complicated, however, by the like
lihood the French Parliament
would not vote the necessary
credits for the December payment.
Political circles were not sur
prised by President Hoover's note
insisting the December instalments
be paid. But numerous members
of the chamber Of deputies ex-
pressed the following view:
'Neither HerriOt nor any
other person can ever obtain
ParIiament's consent to seek
credit to make the payment. An
agreement must be reached, but
it must not provide for pay
ment."
Government spokesmen con-
tinued to insist a European united
front on the debt question does
not exist but declared in the same
breath that France was bound to
act in accordance with Britain on
grounds of parallel action for the
good of Europe"

an example Of reputation might
be fatal to them as worldwide
creditors, and congressional
leaders simply do not believe it
is possible, despite Mr.. HooVer's
warnings.
Moreover, the Congressional
leaders have access to information
of their own on the subject.
Bernard M. Baruch, New York
financier and keen student of
world economics, has told Demo
cratic leaders during the past
48 hours that in his opinion,
Britain never would default on
any of her debt payments, no
matter how difficult it might be
for her to meet them.
Ambassador Walter E. Edge,
now on leave from France, has
given Republican leaders similar
assurances with respect to that
country.

Senator Kenneth D. McKellar
D) of Tennessee today an.
nounced he was conducting a per-
sonal investigation of revenues
derived from increased postal
rates and said if he found added
charges had become prohibitive
and therefore were yielding little
or no additional income, he
would seek to have fees lowered
when Congress opens.
The additional rates fixed in
the last revenue act, Senator Nc
Kellar said, have in many
instances prevented persons from
using the mails to the extent
they formerly used them. Conse-
quently, the expected increase in
revenue has not been brought
about.
The Washington times., 1932-11-24

AS matters now stand, after a
week Of rapid-fire and history-mak-
ing developments, the whole debt
question remains as it was : the
hands Of a Congress bitterly hos
tile to every thought of revision
or cancellation.
The future cannot be foretold
with any degree of certainty.
When Cove rnor Roosevelt
comes into the Presidency March
4 he will be "open" to approach
by any of the creditor nations
seeking relief.
He took the position in his
statement of last night that any
must maintain that at
titude toward q debtor. But he
has no power to reduce or. cancel
a dollar of the Indebtedness, and
even should he recommend some
change in the status Of an in
dividual debtor, it still will be for
Congress to decide.

PAN AMERICAN
HOLIDAY MASS
Three Priests Are CeIebrants
At ST. PatriCk's; Msgr..
Biondi Present

With high-ranking Officials, of
10 Latin American countries in
attendance, the annual Pan
American mass. of Thanksgiving
was celebrated today at st. Pat
rick's Church, Tenth and G SITS.
N. w.
Three priests, who spent their
boyhood at st. Patrick's parish,
were the principals of the mass.
They are the Rev. jerome SebaS-
tian. of st. Elizabeth's Church,
Baltimore, who was celebrant;
the Rev. Elmer Fisher, deacon,
and the Rev. George Shank, sub
deacon, both of st. Edwards
Church, Baltimore. The Rev.
Francis Montgomery acted as
master of ceremonies.
Hits Extravagancies
With thanksgiving as the key
note, the Rev. DR.. Laurence Sfee-
han, of st. Patricks,. preached
the sermon. Regarding. present
day conditions, he said:
During this decade those in
high places have steadfastly
preached to the people that It
was their destiny to. have two
car garages and eight,tube ra-
diO sets. That was the ideal
held out before the people. to
be acquisitive, to seek fever
ishIy, to become richer and
richer, to PROSTATE themselves
before the fatted calf. Is it
any wonder that now after
three years of deep distress
the neOple find themselves
profoundly bewiIdered and
strangely lacking in hope?
'Tt would be wrong to place
the sole blame of our present
conditions upon those who have
been entrusted with political
leadership. The chief source of
our present plight, it seems to
me, lies in the fact that the
great masses of people find
themselves without any lofty
moral ideal to guide them and
to give them hope"
Services were presided over by
the Apostolic Delegate, Msgr.
Pietro Fumisoni-Biondi, who was
attended by the Rev. James NC
Vann, of the Pau1ist- College, the
Rev. Francis x. Cavanaugh, of
the Church of the Assumption and
the Rev. Michael Riordan, pastor
of st. Martins Church.

Geneva, Jan 25-(U.

The report of finan- cial experts declaring that public and private debts are the dominat- ing elements in the worldwide economic crisis forced the council to place the debt question on the leagues agenda.
 Dr w. w. Yen replaced pr AL fred Sze as chief Chinese delegate. It was believed that the Chinese attitude on the Manchurian ques- tion would be stronger than at the last meeting of the council. China was expected to emphasize that the situation had grown worse daily since the council adopted its resolution for solution of the prob lem December 10, and that it was imperative for the league to act geographically and quickly to help China and to save the leagues ex- iStence.

THE NEW REFEREE
 IN BANKRUPTCY
Appointment of Atty Wal= ter F. Torrance Gives
 General Satisfaction
DISTRICT DIVIDED

The appointment of Attorney Walter F. Torrance as referee for the Waterbury section of the Unit ed States district court in bank ruptcy was well received on ali sides and the general concensus was that it was a popular one. The naming of Attorney Torrance was made Saturday. He is in attend ance at a conference at New Ha- ven today and is expected to make an announcement later on the dates for the holding of the bank ruptcy sessions here.
 Attorney Torrance and Attorney David Richman of New Haven will fill the position vacated by the death two months ago of Referee Carleton E. Hoadley of New Ha- ven. The district, under the op- pointments. has been divided into two sections, one to be covered by Attorney Richman at New Haven and the other by Attorney Tor rance at Waterbury. The appoint ments and district division were made by Judge Edwin S. Thomas and Judge Carroll c. Kinks of the Federal court.
 Attorney Torrance will have all of Litchfield county, Waterbury the following eight towns: Nauga- tuck, Cheshire. Middlebury, OK ford, Prospect, Wolcott, South bury, and Beacon Falls.
 Attorney Torrance is a graduate of Yale University of the class of 1919 and the Yale Law school, class of '21. During the last 1 years he has been associated with the offices of Carmody and Thoms. He has been a member for several years of the committee on moral qualifications of the New Haven County Bar. That committee ap- proves the name of prospective candidates for the state bar exam nations.
 That he is we'll fitted for a ju- dicial position and well qualified to handle the important bank ruptcy refereeship can be appre- ciated not only from the ability he has manifested in his legal prac- tice but also from his legal back ground. He is grandson of the forro+r Chief Justice David Tor rance of the supreme court of CT TOTS. Attorney Torrance's wlte, IS the daughter of the late Associate Justice Edwin Gager of the su- preme court. During the world War Attorney Torrance was en- rolled in the United States Navy. He is republican in politics. but has never become actively engaged Tn any political campaign.
