Guarantee From Congress Unlikely to

News of the decision Of the French
cabinet on war debts demanding q

It was reiterated authoritatively that
the United States is still expecting the

A postponement Of these payments
could not be promised by President
Roosevelt without the approval OF Con-

CHI AM BIER IS TO HEAD MOVEMENT FOR FISHERMEN
Will U n derta k e to Get Them to Agree Upon
 Halibut Program

Pending some degree of agree ment among the halibut fishermen themselves, no recommendation will be made by the local Chamber of Commerce to the International Fisheries Commission, it was de- termined by that organization to- day. However, the Chamber de- cided to take the initiative in at- tempting to get the fishermen to submit program that will be agreeable to majority of them selves.
 That local fishermen from Prince Rupert northward are in large measure responsible for the early closure and it's resultant hard ship on them was freely admitted by spokesmen for them. They had been unable to agree on curtail- ment of operations and worked at capacity all season despite warn ings from the Commission that the esA O1 tAiCy lloilCQ III WOulI DC OlOoCo as soon as the limit was reached.
 Blame Larger Vessels
 However, a large portion of the seasons total take was made by larger vessels sailing out of Seattle, said Mayor I. Goldstein and Capt. Olaf Larsen, speaking for the local fishermen. These vessels are able to and do operate on the western banks now that the banks between Cape Spencer and Cape Flattery are closed. But the closure of the latter has put the smaller vessels out of business until next Feb ruary.
 Mayor Goldstein said at least 1000 fishermen were forced into idleness on August 25, last, when the area was shut down, and the total number of persons affected was said to be about $500.
 The high local boat, he added, earned about 1000 per share and the low around $40 this year. Thus, it is clear that aid will have to be given them during the coming Winter as five months enforced idleness faces them.
 Admits Own Fault
 MT. Goldstein declared that a part of the responsibility for this rested on the fishermen themselves.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Foreign countries are watching the Cuban developments closely aside from the South American Republics which are vitally interested in any action taken by the United States.
 Spain is viewing the situation with regard to interests of a great number of Spaniards living on the island.
 The disturbances are also causing considerable anxiety in Great Brl- tain regarding the possibility Of damage to foreign property.
 French Viewpoint
 Advices received here today from Paris said officials commented fav- orably on what they called the extreme caution with which Presi- dent Roosevelt is handling the Cuban problem. It is said French officials recognize the right of the President to intervene under the Platt Amendment but declared 1t was their opinion it is best to maintain hands off policy except in an extreme emergency South Americans are reported to believe intervention can be avoided.

TRY, TRY AGAIN

This result was not accomplish ed without great worry and effort. Dozens of formulas were put on paper tentatively, and torn up, before the right one was conceiv- ed.
 At one time, when the issue came to it's first test in the mak- ing of the steel code. General Johnson was inclined to accept a proposition of the employers under which they would have been authorized affirmatively to com- bine the open shop and the com pany union system if they chose.
 For the fact that this provis- ion was not accepted, organized labor probably owes it's thanks to Donald Richberg, MIRA counsel who for years had been attorney for the railway labor unions. He stuck to his guns throughout the long fight, insisting that under the language of the law. no such qualification could be included in a code.

NRA Peacemaking Genius Enhanced by Settlement
 of Union-Open Shop Ro,u
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Wash:ngtOn.l

In none of it's manifold activi- ties has the NRA displayed a greater genius for conciliation than in it's sudden settlement of the bitter dispute over the open shop
 For weeks, leaders of labor and industry have been so wrought up over this that they could not dis cuss it without raising their voices. But, when the ruling came down, both sides not only accepted it but praised it.
 What the rullng did, in effect, was to leave it to the employees of any industry to decide for them selves what kind of union they would have.
 The labor men likes this be- cause it appeared to them to mean the end of the hated company union" system. under which they charged that the steel and other industries controlled their employ es through local unions domlnat- ed by company officials.
 The industrialists liked it be- cause they saw in it an effective barrier against American Federa- tion of Labor organizers who had been charged with telling non-un- ion employees that the law required them to join the Federation.
 There is, of course, the possi- bility that differing interpreta- tions of tne ruling will collide at some future time, causing the MIRA a new batch of troubles; but the fact remains that for the present critical moment, at least, this very potent source of contro- versy has disappeared from the picture.
