CHAUTEMPS GETS
CONFIDENCE VOTE
Civil Pay Cut Measure
Passed on Plea to
Patriotism.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 9.-Premier Camille
Chautemps' young cabinet cleared today
the hurdle Of civil servants pay cost,
which toppled three previous ministers,
when the Chamber Of Deputies gave two
votes of confidence in adopting the
measure.
The first was 4os to 6s and came after
to the patriotism Of the deputies in the
face of what he calld "a grave situation
abroad"-a reference to Chancellor
Hitler of Germany-and "the menace
to our finances"
BY the second, which was 345 for and
158 against, the legislators adopted the
paycut proposal after greatly reducing
the amounts.
This followed hot attack by former
Premier Tardieu, who told how success
sive goversments borrowed 80 ,00U. .000.-
900 francs since 1882" and have deficit
Of 5000, 100000 francs currently
ly announced 6,ooo,0o0,0oo francs
($3e7 800, ,000).
Future Doubtful.
That the Ctautemps government
henceforth will have clear sailing was
by no means assured, pasliancntarinns
said, pointing to the vain efforts Of the
predecessors to put through budget
balancing and franc-protecting program.
The size of the votes was attributed
in some circles not 50 much to ap-
proval Of the cabinets fiscal policy as TO
the political aspects involved.
Socialists who opposed the psy-cus
plank refused to participate in todays
session. after their walkout last night.
when they engaged in . bitter battle of
invectivc with their colleagues.
The opposition was thereby weakened,
although wide disapproval Of the entire
program was expressed. A real test was
expected In . day or two, when the
deputies consider increased taxation
proposals.
Supporters Confident.
Supporters Of the premier, mean
while. predicted ultimate victory for the
cabinet.
They said the two votes started Q
wave Of enthusiasm for the premier's
political "maneuvering" and that .
clash between former Premier Herriot
and M. Tardieu diminished the chances

DEBT MORATORIUM
PROPOSAL SHUNTED
Unofficial Move to Clear Up
Chaco Situation Also Made
at Montevideo.
BY the Associated Press.

~ Suc AeSoClbtcu TIcSS.
MoNTEvIDEo, Uruguay. December
e.-Defection of the Mexican plan for
a moratorium on foreign debts was the
principal development of the first week
of the Pan-American Conference. ended
today after unprecedented labors in the
Summer weather of Uruguay.
All delegations, including the princi-
Pal foreign ministers, have agreed to
remain until the oficial end of the
conference, it was announced.
Uruguay and Chile, with the United
States sympathetic, set afoot an unofi-
cial symposium on the Chace situation
which may result in a united gesture
appealing to Bolivia and Paraguay to
stop their war.
Thrusts at U. S. Deferred.
Before the delegates are the PAN
American customs truce, advocated by
Uruguay, with duties reverting to 1923
levels, and the proposal of DR.. Carlos
Saavedra Lambs, Argentine minister of
foreign affairs, for pan-American, then
world, tariff conferences.
Thrusts by Cuba and Haiti toward
the United States were deferred at least
temporarily at the outset of the con-
ference
The issue of foreign observerships
was injected when the United States
placed an obstacle to the proposal to
give credentials to the League Of Ma
tiens, pending consideration of whether
cn-American participation conceded
with conference objectives.
Since the incident, which appears to
be subsiding, it appears probable that
the League will withdraw its request
for official cogrizanee of its onlooker.
or at least not press it.
DR.. Gabriel Terna, President Of
Uruguay, who Is sounding delegations
to determine the conferences views on
the possibility of peace in the Chaco,
is suggesting that the conference spon-
sor cessation of hostilities or at least
an armistice by threatening applications
OF all legal measures to bring the con-
dict to an end.
(This implies closure of frontiers and
refusal to sell the belligerents war
supplies if they resist.)
Bolivian Visits Terna.
Meanwhile, an official announcement
of the subcommission said: Regard
ing the Chaco conflict, the conference
does not now intend direct Intervention,
but if it is able. it will advance gestures
now afoot. Even though outside the
conference. they will receive hearty
moral support"
Casio Roias, president OF the delega-
ton from Bolivia, visited DR.. Terna to-
day, who repeatedly had invited him to
confer on the Chaco problem.
Uruguay today proposed bi-lateral
anti-war treaties, pan-American in
scope, giving Cancellation Boards ap-
pointed in advance blanket authority
to control any controversies,
The idea was Endorsed by j. Reuben
Clark, delegate from the United
States.
The sidetracking, at least temporarily,
Of the Mexican financial plan was
credited to Dr. Lamas, who proposed
that it be referred to the old Inter
American High Commission. which has
been inactive for a decacs.
Opinion differs as to whether this
buries the plan or makes its revival
probable. But barring an attempt from
the floor to resurrect it, The proposal is
ousted from the present conference.

let them in. Half a dozen or more re-
turned about an hour later and were
escorted to choice seats, right down

"Of course, I can't do that again,
said Mr.. Eilbacher. In fact, shouldn'

didn't have the heart to turn 'em away.

pointed out, land that's the day we
want everybody to come. OF course,
however, there are lot Of people who
want to help needy youngsters, regard
less of the shows, and we'll be glad TO
receive their gifts any time at all"

her offer to Mrs. E. H. Grifhth and Mrs.
Frank Parsons, heads Of the Christmas
Planning Committee Of the Council OF

gifts taken in at the "toy matinees'
will be distributed.

best way that can think Of to even
the score Is for me to give something
