the game with a shotgun blast.
So Driscoll admitted when the

mienoa.,a British prime minis
~ ter suddenly inter-
jected the war debts issue, despite the
fact that it was not on the agenda of
the conference. That question, he de-
clared. must be dealt with before every
obstacle to general recovery has been
removed, and it must be taken up
without delay by the nations con-
cerned. Lausanne has to be complet-
ed and this vexed question settled once
for all in the light of present world
conditions"
Delegates from all parts Of the Brit
ish empire and possibly those from
France were not surprised by Mac
Donald's action. but Secretary Hull
and his brother delegates from the
United States did not attempt to con-
ceal their displeasure with what they
considered at least display of poor
taste. Mr.. Hull was soon in tele-
phonic communication with Washing
ton, and as a result his address to
the conference which was to open the
second day of the parley was post
poned. Among the other speakers of
that day, however, were Guido Jung
of Italy and Gen. Jan Christian SHUTS
of South Africa, both of whom
backed up MacDonald's stand. >
1--WE firmly believe" Jung said,
shat there is preliminary problem
--intergovernmental debts arising
from the war. An armistice was
signed for them at Lausanne A final
settlement now is imperative"
SHUTS was even more offensive to
Americans. frankly blaming the Unit
ed States for the deplorable plight of
the world.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain seconded the remarks of
Macdonald about war debts, and also
said the crisis in world economic con-
ditions makes restoration of the gold
standard absolutely impossible at pres
ent.
He favored multilateral treaties for
lower tariffs, provided the reductions
were actual and tangible, that they
covered wide area, that they did not
impose undue sacrifices on lower tar
If countries and that they did not lead
to economic warfare. He emphasized
the necessity for cheap money.
MAYHEM Secretary Hull arose, the
Wv third to deliver his address, it
was expected he would make some
sort of reply to the war debts de-
mand. But he was silent on that sub
ject, devoting much of his speech to
argument for renewal of the tariff
truce promulgated by President Roose-
welt This must be followed, he said,
by removal of trade barriers, elimina-
ton of excessive tariffs, sterilization
of exchanges and abandonment of ma
tionalistic economic policies.
"The world cannot longer go on
as it is going at present" Hull said.
"A successful meeting of this confer
ence in my judgment is the key to
widespread business recovery"

IN OTHER respects the senate acted
swiftly in completing the legisla-
ton the President had asked. The
important bills enacted included the
almost terrifying industry control-pub-
lie works measure; the Glass-Steagall
banking bill which makes provision
for limited deposit guarantee January
l, 1884, unless in an emergency or
dered earlier by the President; and
the fourth deficiency bill carrying the
largest appropriations ever made in
peace time. The home owners loan
act setting up S2,200,OOO,OO0 corpor-
alton for home loan mortgage relief
already had been passed and was
signed by the President, who at the
same time issued an appeal to mort
gage holders to desist from foreclos-
ures until the new agency can begin
functioning.
The industry control bill did not get
through without fierce opposition from
Is of the more radical Democrats and
% Republicans. all led by Senator
Borah, who especially denounced the
giving of vast power to Gen. Hugh
Johnson. the man selected as the adj
ministrator
The senate rather ignored the execu-
tive order which President Roosevelt
had transmitted, providing for re-
groupings, consultations. transfers
and additions of certain executive
agencies and functions. He explained
in his message the necessity for these
changes and said they would effect a
saving of more than $25,000000. Many
other changes, he said, were in con.
temptation, and he had selected only
those he believed should be put into
effect as quickly as possible.

ming to evade payment of the great
er part of the installments due the
United States on June Is, and France
was calmly ignoring the fact that
she also was due to make payment
on that date, her government being
determined to do nothing about it.
The British offered to pay $10,000,000
of the $79,950,0O0 due.
President Roosevelt's reply to the
British offer, eagerly awaited. was
that the United States would accept
the partial payment only with the ex-
plicit understanding that the money
was just an installment on the sum
due and that such action should in
no way invalidate Americas claim to
the unpaid remainder.
Mr. Roosevelt advised the British
that as soon as possible they should
make whatever representations for a
revision of the debt they desire to
offer, and in Washington. He said he
had no power to reduce or cancel the
debt but would submit the results of
the negotiation to congress.

WAR debts, as much as discord
w over the matter of war veterans
benefits, caused delay in the adjourn
ment of congress, though the latter
question was the ostensible reason.
The senate appeared determined to
stay in session until it had learned all
there was to know about the offers
OF partial payment and the Presidents
response. The senators had known
for long time that Mr.. Roosevelt
wanted them to get away before June
Is, and Robinson of Indiana read to
them cabled dispatches from London
saying that Chancellor Chamberlain
was waiting for congress to adjourn
before announcing his offer of 10 per
cent payment. So they decided to stay
on the job little longer.
On the surface the delay was due
to disagreement over the modification
of the Presidents program for reduc-
ton of veterans benefits, part of the
Independent Offices bill. The house
hou HSSCpLSu Tic compromise, UuL ~
Democratic senators and Shipstead,

publlcans to recommit the measure.
Then the senate adopted the Cutting
Steiwer amendment, which would in
crease veterans compensations by
about $135,000,O00, though the Presi-
dent had said he would go no further
than $100O00,000. 1t was expected the
house would accept the senate plan
and that Mr.. Roosevelt would veto the
entire bill. But the house showed
signs of going along with the Presi-
dent, SO the Democratic senators
changed their mind and, after a hot
debate, accepted the program it had
previously rejected. The bill was
passed by vote of As to 80, and what
had seemed to be the first defeat for
the President was turned into a VIC
tory. Congress then adjourned.

AS third example. permit me to
cite possibilities in the new farm mort

worked out to help debt-ridden farm

provides that holders of farm mort

exchange them for bonds of the fed

under prescribed conditions, to bor-
row for refnancing their debts aside
from the mortgage. No one doubts
the sincerity Of this program, nor does
anyone question but that it is needed
