Union will seek next week to
reach a settlement Of the ques-
ton of the debt and damage
claims.
Discussions will be resumed at
the State Department Monday be-
tween the American experts and
Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet foreign
commissar.
They will center principally
around the $187 100000 which
this Government loaned the Ker-
ensky regime before the latter
was overthrown by the Soviet. !.
$500, OOO,OOO Claims
The total American debt and
damage claims against Russia are
estimated to be about $500, 000, 900.
Half of this represents claims for
confiscated property and also the
accrued interest on the Kerensky
debt which brings that obliga-
ton over $300,O0O,000.
William c. Bullitt, who has
been selected as Americas first
ambassador to Soviet Russia, will
take charge of the discussions at
the State Department. Henry
Morgenthau, jr., new Acting Sec
rotary of the Treasury, also will
participate in them from time
to time.

President Roosevelt wa S
urged toby by directors of
the United States Chamber of
Commerce to restore the gold
standard and abandon expert
ments with the monetary
policy.
Present fiscal policies, the di-
rectors said in a resolution adopt
ed at meeting Of the board,

Unrest Called Inevitable
Instability of employment, de-
moraliZation of exchanges and
general insecurity for all classes
of people is the inevitable accom-
paniment Of monetary experiment
tation, the resolution said.
The resolution declared in part:
"Our consideration of various
aspects of the economic and
financial situation leads us to
the conclusion that the question
Of a sound national monetary
policy is paramount
'The chamber is committed
by action of its membership to
support the maintenance of the
integrity Of our currency, the
restoration and continuance of
the gold standard, with q fixed

determined, the balancing of

of deliberately engendering

which are solely monetary in
character, recognizing that
such measures are not con-

A rapidly waning grid season
finds the game of football more a
magnet to draw crowds than ever
before.
More than 100000 persons are
expected to crowd their way into
IS stadia of the country today to
witness the IS stop" games of the
day.
On some 500 other collegiate
gridirons, teams will vie for VIC
tory before nearly 100000 more
spectators.
OF Local Interest
OF local interest are five games:
Georgetown VS.. Carnegie Tech, in
Griffith Stadium; Maryland VS..
Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore
Stadium; Catholic University VS..
Manhattan, at Brooklyn, N. Y;
Navy VS.. Princeton, at Princeton;
and Gallaudet VS.. Shephred Col

The grand opportunity of the
season is presented this after
noon to Coach Jack Hagerty's
Georgetown HoyaS. Word from
the Hilltop indicates that the
Georgetown team which takes the
field today against the Skibos
will remind old-timers of the
Hoya elevens of days gone by,
when Georgetown had the repu-

to defeat opponents of class.

President Gets Big Reception
At Stop at Savannah
On Way to Rest

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. 10
GN.S. ).-Assailing reactionary
and do-nothing elements as I'M
American, President Roosevelt
here today pictured the Nation
as in an era of change for the
better.
The President came into the
Southland for a two-week vaca-
ton at Warm Springs. Ca, and
stopped here to deliver an adj
dress before a stadium packed
with thousands concentrating
the 200th anniversary of the
founding of the colony of Georgia.
Gets ROusing Welcome
Mr.. Roosevelt got a rousing
welcome in this old Southern
city and rode with the governor
of the State and the Savannah
mayor through three miles of
streets deeply lined with cheering
spectators.
At the stadium the National
Guard greeted him with 21-gun
salute, and band played Amer
ica," while thousands waved
American flags.
The President covered wide
range of economic subjects in
his address. He began with a
general compliment for the Amer
lean peoples sense of proper
ton" This, he said, allowed
them at once to laugh at the
idea of providing all money on
a per capita basis every Satur-
day night and condemn those
who lamented because they
didn't have francs and pounds in
stead of good American dollars.
On Way to Recovery
Times have changed for the
better within the past year, the
President asserted. There is
much yet to be done, and it all
cannot be done in day or a
year. he added, but the American
people are on the way to COM
plete recovery.
The new relations between this
country and Russia, Mr.. Roose-
welt predicted. would prove a
real impetus for world peace.
For the reactionary elements
holding to a do-nothing policy,
he had this to say:
cit has been remarked of late
by certain modern tories that
those who. are today in charge
of your national Government
are guilty of great experiments
ton. If / read my history
right. the same suggestion was
used when EngliShmen, pro-
testing in vain against intOl-
cradle conditions at home,
founded new colonies in the
American wilderness, and when
the WashingtOns and AdamSeS
and BullOcks conducted another
great experiment in 1776."
