ROOSEVELT HALTS
CABINET TALKS To
PLANFORM DONALD
Will See Ambassador Lindsay
on Latter's Return From
London Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 1s.-Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt interrupted q
series of cabinet and patronage con-
ferences today to arrange for a Sec
ond meeting with Sir Ronald Lindsay
the British Ambassador. on the forth
coming British-American debts ano
economic negotiations.
Within few hours after Mr.. Roose-
velt asked through Secretary Stimsor
for an immediate talk with the British
Ambassador upon the latter's return
here Monday from London, word came
from England that the conference was
expected to accelerate the debt nego-
tiations and might result in a decision
at Wednesdays meeting of the British
cabinet on whether Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald will come to the
United States.
"At the present delicate stage the
most important thing is that Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Macdonald should
be acquainted with each others minds
and with each others characteristic
good will" the London Sunday OBJ
server said. For that purpose Mr.
MacDonalds gift of human contact is
invaluable"
Mr.. Roosevelt himself intends to deal
with the British and other nations and
it Is presumed the European govern
ments will send their heads here tc
talk with him. The President-elect and
Mr.. Lindsay are expected to make final
details for the conference with British
representatives when they talk next
week.
Cabinet More Definite.
Meanwhile, busy round of confer
ences at the we'll guarded East Sixty
fifth street Roosevelt home brought the
prospective Roosevelt cabinet into
shape.
Iowa and William H. Woodin of New
York-were placed definitely in the
cabinet by observers. Wallace is re-
garded a certainty for Secretary of
Agriculture. Woodin is slated for the
Commerce Department.
Keeping tight lip on his cabinet
choices, Mr. Roosevelt told newspaper
men that he talked over the domestic
allotment farm bill now before Con-
gress with Wallace.
The fact that he did this is taken as
indication he is relying already on Wal
lace in the agricultural problem. The

Representative Rainey. of Illinois, Demo
cratic floor leader of the House and ar
outstanding candidate fer Speaker, sale
last night.
The bill, which was introduced in the
House late yesterday by Chairman Mar
vim Jones of the Committee on Agricul-
ture, provides for an unlimited Govern
ment bond issue, the bonds to be is
sued to holders of farm mortgages
throughout the country in exchange
for the mortgages, which the Govern
ment will take over.
Similar Bill in Senate.
Senator Shipstead of Minnesota, who
introduced a somewhat similar bill on
January 80, said last night that he had
received many letters of commenda-
ton. He differed with Mr.. Rainey on
the total amount of the bond which
substitute for the farm mortgages
pointing out that the total amount OF
farm mortgages in this country is es-
timated at not more than $4,000 900,
900. He said he did not see how a
bond issue in excess of that figure
would be required. He expressed the
hope that the bill might be passed
during, the present session of Congress
and, Ike Mr.. Rainey, declared that it
would be of great assistance at a time
of crisis.
AS Representative Rainey explained
the bill, it will provide moratorium
on all farm mortgages for two years,
and also will make it possible for the
farmers to obtain money with which to
pay their, taxes for similar period
He estimated that the total bond issue
would run to $4,000 000,0 900 or even to
-$35 00,000,000.
'NIost Sweeping Legislation"
"This will be the most sweeping leg
iSlation ever proposed in this country
or any other" the Democratic leader
asserted.
He added that it was made necessary
because the country is facing crisis,
and that is recognized even by leading
flnanciers." He added graphically that
the country would be surprised If 1t
was made aware of a driving power
that was back of the measure.
This measure will be major bill
in this present session of Congress,
said Mr. Rainey, "and if it is not passed
before adjournment, it will be major
bill in the special session of the new
Congress-"
He said that he did not know that
President-elect Roosevelt had been
sounded out in regard to the measure
or that he had given his approval. Mr..
Rainey added, however, that the meas
ure was in line with Mr.. Roosevelt's S
plans for consolidation of all Govern
ment agencies having to do with loans
to farmers.
Chairman Jones issued a statement
when he introduced the bill in which
he said that farm Indebtedness would
be ref1nanced on a 46-year payment
basis at an annual interest rate of 2
per cent, with an additional l per cent
for amortization.
MIR. Rainey said that he had not yet con-
suited Speaker Garner in regard to the

The Bankers Plan
PURPOSE.

To provide funds to be used by
home owners to remodel, repair
and redecorate their homes,
thereby stimulating employment
and business activity, and at the
same time arresting depreciation
of their property by improving its
physical condition and appear
ance at the present time.
To accomplish these purposes
with reasonable degree of
safety to the banks which are to
lend money, the following general
plan is outlined:
WHO MAY BORROW.
Each bank will lend to its own
depositors, who are home owners,
and to other home owners, when
the note is indorsed by a respon-
sible and satisfactory depositor.
LOANS UP TO $500.
To spread the benefit of the
plan among q large number of
home owners, loans will be made
in any amount up to $500 to any
one borrower.
EASY MONTHLY PAYMENTS.
To make repayment easy to
borrowers, these loans will be
payable in equal monthly INSTALL
ments with minimum payments
Of $40 per month. But all loans
must be repaid in IL months or
less.
COST TO BORROWERS.
While small loans are expen-
sive to bank to handle and the
legal rate of interest thereon does
not cover the cost of handling
them, nevertheless all loans
under this plan will be made at
the rate Of 6 per cent interest per
annum.
APPLICATION FOR LOANS.
In order to facilitate the
making Of loans, each home
owner should
1. Get an application form"
from his bank.
2. Secure at least "two bids"
for the work to be done.
8. Furnish a receipt or other
evidence that interest due
on his mortgage has been
paid.
4. Exhibit a receipt showing
that all taxes due have
been paid.
After filling out the applica-
tiOn and complying with the
other requirements set forth
above, the applicant should
deliver all papers to his bank.
Applications for loans may be
made any time between now and
August 19, 1888.

PARAGUAY READY
TO DECLARE WAR
Senate Session Called for
Next Week for Action
Against Bolivia.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ASUNCION, Paraguay, February 18
The Paraguayan government is pre-
pairing a formal declaration of war
against Bolivia, foe of Paraguay in
months long warfare in the Gran Chaco
border area, it was learned tonight.
The Senate will meet in an extraor-
dinary session next week to consider a
resolution asking the formal declara-
ton, semi-offcial sources said.
The pending declaration, after eight
months of hostilities in the Gran Chaco,
apparently will be motivated by the be-
lief that the actual state of war will
facilitate a blockade of Bolivian from
tiers.
Argentina, Chile and, perhaps, Peru
and Brazil, are said to be contemplate
ing a move to blockade the Bolivian
frontier in order to force the cessation
Of hostilities.
Bolivia has said semi officially that
it would regard any blockade as a viola
ton of the 1904 treaty under which
Chile made africa an open port served
Ny CAiC La 1tdnWdy, NlllCI SilllC
built as concession to coastlesS Bolivia.
The Bolivian government has init
mated its belief that the blockade would
violate the treaty, would add to the hos
tillties, and would reopen the entire
Tacna-Arica controversy, with Bolivia
as the interested party.
Blockade Plan Serious.
Although the neutral nations have not
confirmed officially any plan for an
economic blockade, the Bolivian antici-
patory protest was taken as evidence
that such an embargo may be more
than mere talk.
President Ayala and Chancellor Benz
tez examined precedents today and
limited they learned that taking the
initiative in declaring war would not
stamp Paraguay as the aggresSor in
the dispute
Coincidental with the declaration, it
Is believed, Paraguay would launch a
major offensive against the important
sectors at Forts NanaWa (Ayala), Her
rera and CorraleS, where they have been
on the defensive for more than a month.
Unanimity was said to exist officially
over the wisdom of declaring war This
was interpreted in some quarters as
rejecting the Paraguayan conviction
that blockade would cripple Bolivia,
the only South American republic with
out seaport.
Inlet for Munitions.
The Chilean port of africa is the
principal inlet for Bolivian munitions,
while foodstuffs arrive largely by rail-
way through Northern Argentina, where
the Bolivian military organiZation's S
purchases of meats and grain have been
heavy since the war in the humid,
jungle area began last June Is.
Paraguayan sources, believed reliable,
say the government hopes that Peru
and Brazil will join the blockade, COM
pletely cutting Bolivia off, with Para
quay remaining unhampered because of
her free access to the South Atlantic
through the internationalized Paraguay
and Parana Rivers.

TOXIC, February 18.-Nothing
short of a miracle can prevent the
withdrawal of Japan from the League
Of Nations as result Of the Leagues
censure of the japanese Manchurian
policy, a high official indicated today.
Meanwhile it appeared unlikely that
Yosuke Matsuoka, Japan's chief dele
gate at Geneva, would be able to make
his proposed trip back to Toxic by
way of the United States, where he
hoped to talk with Franklin D. Roose-
welt or other members of the new ad-
ministration
A government spokesman said that
summons to Mr.. Matsuoka to return
by Siberia, the shortest route, in order
that he might assist in preparations
for Japan's secession from the League,
probably would make it impossible for
him to visit the United States.
This matter is not wholly settled, but
the cabinet may decide to consult
with the Geneva representatives before
taking final action In this event, he
would be called home Immediately after
the anticipated acceptance by the
League assembly next week of the pre-
pared Manchurian report which CEN
sures Japan.
Further consideration of the League
issue was postponed by the cabinet
until Monday, permitting Premier
Makoto Saito to confer with Prince
Saionji, the sole survivor of the elder
statesmen. The Prince always is con-
suited when decisions of great moment
are to be made.
ut is safe to interpret the premier's
visit to Prince Saionji," high official
said. ''as an indication that the cabi-
net has agreed to the main principles
Of policy respecting the League; that
Is, 1t has decided to withdraw unless
a miracle prevents the assembly's
adoption of the League report and
recommendations"
