GREAT RIDDLE PRESENTED BY
 DEBT DEFAULTS
Signs Point to New De- mands for Easing Off
 of Obligations
CONFERENCE HELD
 IN PARIS ON ISSUE
One Plan Suggested Is to Transfer Debts to
 Private Hands
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. The American Government today faced future war debt problems by seeking new ap- breaches to the riddle which has thrown a vast econOmicaf question mark across the in- ternatiOnal horizon.
 With five nations default ing on their December pay ments and two others paying only to gain reconsideration, every sign pointed to early resumption of efforts by for eign debtors to ease Obliga- tions before the next install ments become due in June. next year.
 Close to one hundred mil lion dollars were collected yesterday out of one hundred and twenty-four million dol lars due.
 Official Washington looked to President Hoover, in his special message to Congress, and to the next Administra- tion for word on proposals for meeting the troublesome situation dealing wi t h de- faults.
 Plan Advanced
 In Paris, momentous conference to find solution to the American debt crisis was held in the Foreign Ministry Office with former Pre- mier Herriot really presiding and plugging all night to find some payment
 England felt pride in meeting the obligations but wants a debt conference without delay.
 Paris Conference
 Che plan here for debts is to transfer them to private hands and take them from politics. The plan provides for funding the debts by an issue of bonds on the debtor countries and to the holders of American Liberty bonds.

FOREIGN COMMENT

PARIS, Dec. 16. = France has loaned large sums of money in recent years to the countries of the Little Entente, Jugoslavia, Ru- mania, Poland and Czechoslovakia, the French press states today and newspapers of those countries gen. erally approve of the attitude in postponing the debt payments to the United States.
 Polish comment is not however unanimous on the subject. One stated that it is feared France has started on a dangerous road. An other newspaper expressed aston ishment that the worlds greatest creditor refuses to pay"
 Rumania seems satisfied with the action.

Englishmen Appear Satis- fled While Parisians
 Are Apprehensive

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-War debt activities at home and abroad have taken unexpected turns.
 In Washington, Government of ficials remained silent last night, but Congressmen were outspoken. : One move was to increase the fee visa on French passports to $5 ,00O and limit them to 50 days.
 A group of society women at New Bern, North Carolina, pledg- eG themselves not to visit France as long as that country refused to pay the war debts. In the group were several women planning to make trips abroad next summer
 Four hundred office girls em- pioyed by a Cincinnati firm pledg- ed themselves not to buy articles Of French origin and accept them as gifts, pending a change in the attitude of the French government and it's people"
 According to Associated Press ad- vices from London, the bitterness that appeared Wednesday gave way yesterday to a self-conscious pride that Great Britain had not defaulted. This was noticeable in bars and restaurants.
 According to news dispatches, there is apprehension among the average Frenchman. It is believ- ed Americans feel the Frenchmen have altered the usual friendly sentiment towards America and are voicing fears America will feel hurt.
 The French are watching the press of the world on comment regarding their debt action.

Mishap Occurred For Every
$500 in Payroll, Com
missioner Wenzel Says

/ Industrial accidents in North Da-
! kota during 1891 averaged one for
every $500 payroll. as accidents for
! the year topped all previous records.
r, E. Wenzel, chairman of the states
wcrkmen's compensation bureau, an
ncunced Thursday.
| Total accidents for the year num-
tered 6,lO0. the highest total in the
history of the bureau.
! In 1927. there was one accident for
every $l2,5sO of payroll; in 1928, one
for every $ll,850; in 1929. one for
every 10000, and. in 1880, one for
every $1,000.
The 1881 payroll figures are based
partly on estimates. Wen1el said. He
stated that present economic condi-
tons have had a very serious effect
upon the compensation situation" far
outreaching the general trend Of the
last five-year period"
Should the actual figures for 1881,
when completed. prove still more dis
advantageous" he added. ut will add
7; to an already bad situation.
| 1--WE are convinced. however. that
the estimated losses for the next six
months. to July l. 1882. will not ex-
coed our estimates Of last March.
This is gratifying to the members Of
the bureau because Of our refusal to
follow the action of other compensa-
ton insurance carriers. The latest
bulletins Of Employers associations
point out that an increase In the gen.
eral level Of all premium rates ap-
proximating 10 per cent went into ef-
feet during 1881. North Dakota's
general level Of premium rates was
not increased during the year."
I'm the light Of the accident trend
iduring the last five years, and the
particularly bad effect Of the depres-
sion, the record of one North Da-
lkota concern, Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone company. stands out as bea-
con Of hope to those who must en-
ldeavor to collect premiums as well as
pay losses It should also prove an In
spiration to other employers, whose
records have brought on the general
upward accident trend.

Chicago, Jan 21.-(R Railway
presidents came forward Thursday
with the important statistics de-
manded by union labor In support of
the plea for acceptance of a 10 per
cent wage reduction.
The presidents asserted that gross
earnings Of the railroads in 1891 were
80 per cent less than in 1929.
Their statement presented mass
Of data on railway earnings and an
swered all the labor proposals at the
joint wage conference.
The presidents made no substan-
tial concessions to the labor program,
but they assured the employees that
individual arrangements would go as
far as they could to remove the fear
Of unemployment. One of the prin-
cipal points in the brotherhood pro-
gram is definite assurance Of sus-
tanned employment.
In spite of enormous reduction
that has been made in operating es-
penses," the presidents said. many
Of the carriers are threatened WITH
bankruptcy because of inability to
pay their fixed charges or to meet
the principal of obligations that are
coming due for payment.
There were ~ individual railway
companies which failed by 80 million
dollars to earn their fixed charges in
1881, and unless present net earnings
can be increased. the number that
will not earn fixed charges in 1882
will be as much larger"
In 1882 there will come due and
payable the principal Of $405 ,000, DOC
obligations.
These obligations must be salts

Poor Aunt Julia. Val was
ashamed of herself, remember

up for all that.
Did 1 tell you the rig up
Mrs. Carey had on the day she
got married?" Aunt Julia, con-
tinuing her endless monologue,
licked her lips as she came to
this spicy bit.

mo, you can't. Wait till I

getting rid of her family, one
by one, throwing them over
board like rats off a sinking
ship"
Val laughed. Like WHAT"
Like rats leaving a-Val,
you know perfectly we'll what
I mean! I think you're real

And then Aunt Julia showed
all her big, uneven teeth in
one of her old-time laughs. and
for moment Val forgot that
anything was changed.
They went to the movies,
they stopped at the Sweet
Shoppe, re-christened The Sign
of the Fawr, and had their
ice cream sodas. Aunt Julia
