Senator from Idaho knows there

There were indications this seS-
sion of Congress might be pro-
longed throughout the week. Ad-
ministration leaders, seeking once
more to force final adjournment
by nightfall, frankly charged there
was a conspiracy to keep Congress
in session until the Economic
Conference reaches a decision on
tariffs and debts.
The tax controversies moved
toward a showdown in the Sen
ate, which had before it the
conference report on the indus
trial recovery and $4,000, 200, 900
public works bill. An agreement
was reached to vote on the report
during the afternoon.
Deadlock Over Vets
A twin deadlock over veterans
payments threatened to defeat
enactment of the independent Of
fices appropriation bill.
With Senate and House con-
fereeS hopeleSsly at loggerheadS
over the Conally amendment and
the House compromise proposal
for a limitation on slashes in
exservice mems compensation,
word reached Capitol Hill that
the President would make no
further concessions to the vet
erans' blocs.
Democratic spokesmen declared
the President would veto any vet
erans' program tending to wreck
the economy bill" The veto
message, it was asserted, would
be broadcast to the nation.

Lindsay Presents
British Debt offer

Revised conditions on which
Great Britain will be prepared to
make a part payment on the
$75,950,000 debt inStallment due
this Government Thursday were
presented informally at the State
Department today by Sir Ronald
Lindsay, British ambassador.
In the hope of inducing the
United States to accept this latest
offer, it was preceded from Lon
don by what were regarded here
as inspired threats that Britain
would default on the entire pay
ment unless this government &C.
cepted the part payment proposal.
The nature of the latest pro
posal, made to Acting Secretary
of State Phillips, was hedl in
secret pending its consideration
by President Roosevelt.
Ban on "StringS"
Administration officials de-
clared, however, that the Presi-
dent will reject it if it contains
any strings that are likely to
create a controversy in Congress.
The President already has re-
jected the conditions on which
the first offer of d part payment
was made. These provided that
this Government should recognize
the part payment as part of a
final settlement with the balance
postponed indefinitely.

on the $6,325,000 payment due
Thursday was believed to have

MEASURE

Vandenburg and Long Lead
Fight Against Provisions;
House Bloc for Measure

A revolutionary change in the
American banking system-includ-
ing insurance deposits, virtually
unified control, and divorce OF
giant banking and investment COM
binations-moved nearer to reality
today.
The House was slated to
approve the conference agreement
reached on the Glass-Steagau
bill, after long deadlock.
While the measure faced bitter
opposition and possibly a fill
buster in the Senate, the chances
of its enactment before adjourn
ment admittedly were brighter.
Vandenberg Opposed
In the Senate the compromise
faced opposition led by Senators
Vandenberg (R) of Michigan and
Long DD of Louisiana. But
opposed to them was a group of
125 House Democrats and many
Republicans who stood pledged to
fight against adjournment until
the measure becomes law. Repre-
sentative Byrns, Democratic leader
said.
"The House will approve the
Conference report by a two
to one vote or more"
The measure was to be called
up for action by Chairman Stea-
gall CD of Alabama of the
banking committee.
Although the House has stood
firm against branch banking,
leaders in this fight said the
provision allowing Statewide ra-
tional branch banking in States
authorizing it, would be &C.
cepted.
Deposits Compromise
The two issues compromised by
the Senate and House conferees
involved the deposit insurance
and branch banking.
Under the compromise deposits
up to $2,500 in all banks would be
insured for the six months period
from January /, 1884, until July
l, 1884. On the latter date the
general scheme becomes effective,
guaranteeing deposits Of $4,000
and less 100 per cent; deposits,
$4,000 to $4,000, IS per cent, and
deposits over $4,000, so per cent.
State banks would be admitted
upon examination showing them
to be solvent until 1886 when they
would be required to join the Fed
eral Reserve System.
The bill would require the
enforcement of securities affiliates
from big banks within one year,
the aim being to separate COM
mercial and investment banking.
Glass Hopeful
Worn out by the long effort to
bring Senate and House bills in
harmony, the veteran Senator
Glass CD of Virginia. neverthe,
less was hopeful that Congress
would approve the agreement.
For him the bill represents a
victory. It includes his bank re.
form proposals, designed to as
sure safe banking and prevent a
recurrence of the wild speculation

ability to accept Britain's offer
to make a token" payment on
the debt installment due Thurs
day.
New Note Reported
It was understood the British
government is drafting a new
note to Washington, setting forth
its position in full.
At 6 o'clock tonight Chan,
eellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain announced he was
compelled to defer his expected
statement to the House of Com
mons on the British debt pay
ment to the United States until
10 o'clock.
It was understood there had
been some hitch in the nego-
tiations with Washington, necessi-
tating the delay.
Chamberlain will summarize
Britain's recent communications
to washington on the subject of
the debts, as well as the Ameri-
can replies.
While members of the govern
ment resolutely refused to di-
vulge full details of the latest
message from washington, there
was reason to believe the RooSe-
welt administration has left the
question open.
"TOken" o. K, Is Report
But whatever transpires be-
tween now and June Is, definite
decision, it was understood, had
been taken not to renew payment
under the terms of the original
settlement negotiated by Former
Premier Stanley Baldwin.
In contradiction of earlier re.
ports, rumor spread this after
noon that the United States had
accepted the British offer to
make a "token" payment under
protest.
Also contrary to an earlier un-
derstanding, the offer was only
$5,000,000 instead Of $10,000,000.
The payment due this week
amounts to $75,950,O00. The cabi-
nets decision apparently means
that for the first time since the
debts were funded-With the ex-
ception of the period of grace ex-
tended by the United States under
the Hoover moratorium-Britain
will fail to make full payment on
time.
Chamberlain Warning
In connection with the decision,
1t was recalled that when Britain
paid over the last installment of
sos, 100000 last December, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer Chamber
lain served notice that Britain
considered this the last payment
that would be made under exist
ing agreements.
It was his plan to apply the
next payment, due June Is. en-
whatever new arrangement might
be reached between debtor and
creditcrr.
While the exchange of mes
sageS continued between London
and Washington, members of
Parliament this ternoon
launched a barrage of question
ing regarding Britain's decision
to discontinue foreign debt pay
ments to the United States.
Questions Parried
Five members shot questions at
Leslie Hore-Belisha, financial Sec
retary to the treasury, who was
obliged to parry them in the alb.

chequer Chamberlain.

Farmers Union President
Buys ! 200 Acre Farm on
Annual Salary Of S., 900
(By Special Correspondent

Merricourt N. D.. Aug. 6.-Mr. C. C. Talbot, the
prize $4,000 year president of the Farmers Union,
recently purchased large farm here 1t
tains 1900 1t is said that the hard tOilng
president of the North Dakota Farmers Union paid
$3.50 per acre for the farm.
The farmers in this community say that it is very
significant that Talbot could spend much money for
this farm in these days of crisis and the new DEAL
while the pIOw-h handle farmers unable TO buy the
bare necessities of life.
They recall that Mr.. Talbot was warm supporter
of HOovers Farm Board he is today supporter of
the Wall Street allotment plan. 1t is not outside of
the realm of possibilities that Mr.. Talbot may have
drawn a shining ace out of the new deck This be-
lief is strengthened by the fact that Talbot was
of the chosen few whom Roosevelt summoned to Sioux
City last fall 1t there that Talbot pledged to de-
liver the farmers of North Dakota to the deal.
Apart from these considerations it is known that
the brokerage firm known as the Farmers Union Ex-
change which Is Delaware corporation, has made it
possible for Talbot to eat juicy commission plus in
addition to these other ones.
Consequently, while the farmers of North Dakota
are faced with eviction, desperation and hunger the
Wall Street agent Talbot is buying big farms.
