NJ CARL RULES
ON HOUSING

When a Federal office reduces
the stated price of quarters, a
vital part of the scheduled salary
Of a Government employe, this
automatically increases the
amount of cash which must be
paid to the employe to make up
the full scheduled salary, Comp
troller General J. R. McCarl
made clear in a ruling being dis
tributed today.
Thus, he pointed out, when a
salary is listed at $1,000, with
$1,400 of this being in cash and
$400 representing quarters, and
when the value of the quarters
is changed to 5000, the worker
gets more actual money each
payday, and the scheduled basic
salary must not itself be reduced.

Heart-to-Heart Talk

LONDON, Feb. 7 0.N.SJ,
With settlement of the British
war debts owed to the United
States by a payment of a lump
sum being discussed, it was re-
liably stated in diplomatic cir
cles today that Prime Minister
Macdonald has received per.
sonal invitation from President.
elect Roosevelt to go to the
United States for a war debt con.
ference.
Conveyed by Lindsay
This invitation, it was said,
was conveyed to Macdonald by
Sir Ronald Lindsay, British Am
baSsador to the United States,
who returned yesterday to give
cabinet members first-hand re-
ports on the Washington angle
Of the debt impaSSe.
Mr.. Roosevelt wants to have a
"heart-toheart" talk with the
British prime minister and in
vited him to the United States
for this purpose.
The cabinet committee on war
debts, consisting Of the so.called
big Five" resumed its discus
sions this afternoon.
A British expert said rumors
that Britain would offer from
81, 100000 to $2,000,000 900
were rubbish"
1t would be impossible, he as
serted, for Britain to raise a
So, 900, 10000 lump sum payment
to wipe out war debts.
Want 80 Percent Slash
Officials reiterated that Britain
favors a 80 per cent clash in war
debts, or payment on the basis
of 10 cents on the dollar, and said
any lump payment would have to
fit into this basis, the keystone
of the Lausanne agreement.
It was said the highest amount
America could expert from all
Europe, according to this arrange,
was about $1,250, 1000, 900 in settle
ment of the debts.
Opposition to any agreement
with Great Britain permitting
that country to scale down its
war debt to the United States to
lump sum was expressed today
by Representative Rainey Of
Illinois, Democratic leader in the
House.

League Waivers Over
Japan'S "LaSt Word"

GENEVA, Feb. z QN.S0-The
League Of Nations wavered be-
tween action and inaction against
Japan today after Yosuke
MatSuoka, japanese delegate,
officially presented his nations
eleventh-hour offer for concilia-
ton Of the Sino-Japanese Man
churian dispute.
Although the committee Of
nineteen virtually had decided to
recommend nonrecognition Of
Manchukuo, thereby inferentially
condemning Japan'S course in
Manchuria, the subcommittee Of
nine delayed drafting its report
while the committee Of nineteen
and Sir Eric Drummond tried to
reach a final decision.
SideStep Studied
Sir Eric, secretary general of
the League, and the committee
unofficially considered whether
Tokyo's final offer left last
chance by which the League might
avoid stating its views on the
conflict and sidestep all the con-
sequences Of this course.
The question was admittedly
serious, since statement of it's
views by the League might preci-
pitate complete stunning of
Manchukuo by the rest Of the
world and possibly lead to an
arms embargo and economic
sanctions against Japan.
Blood On Committee"
A japanese spokesman told
International News Service:
1--WE are making a last effort
to prevent the League from
taking . step that can only
lead to withdrawal from the
League by Japan. ..t
"This last offer almost meets
the committee of nineteen's

for Cancellation. Hence, the
blood will be on the head Of

Prominent contractors and

This means not only the reduc-

Carpenters are demanding $11 a

tees recommendation for an ad-
dition 1 2-3 per cent straight pay
cut for all Federal employees re-
ceiving more than $1,000 an
