In announcing his decision to the
house of commons, Macdonald said
that he would present an enabling
act governing Soviet imports Tues
day and that it was proposed to
rush the bill through all stages
Wednesday.
Britain already has suspended
negotiations for new trade treaty
when the present one expires Easter
Monday, so that the prospects Of any
trade between the two powers after

Soviet should about-face and call off
the trial
Indicating his view of the gravity
of the situation, Macdonald said
of the proposed bill that the gov

ment."
Regarding the charges against the

PEACE PLAN
IS ACCEPTED
BY FRANCE
MusSoIini'S 4-PoWer Pact
Favored by Cabinet to
Spur DiSarming.
TO PRINCIPLE
Reservations to Protect
Little Entente to
Be Made.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, April 3.-The French
cabinet today announced it's Wiling
ness to accept Premier Mussolini's
four power peace pact proposals as
basis for further discussions OF
European disarmament.
At the conclusion of it's meet
ing, at lis p. m, the cabinet an
nounced its intention of sending a
memorandum to London, Berlin,
and Rome, agreeing in principle to
the MuSsolini suggestions as the
basis for four power discussion OF
present problems.
The cabinet agreed to make reser-
vations protecting the Little En-
tente, whose representatives have
made strenuous representations in
the past few days against any
agreement which did not include
them-largely through fear that re-
vision of the Versailles treaty might
strip them of some of the territory
and power they now enjoy.
Against Frontier Revision
The cabinets memorandum will
be submitted to the next council of
ministers, over which President Lee
brun will preside. The council
meeting probably will be held
Wednesday.
1t is understood the French will
maintain that the present is wholly
inopportune for any revision of
frontiers or treaties, and that
Poland and the Little Entente must
be included in any action by the
four major western powers.
The French government will
stress its willingness to accept any
feasible scheme for progressive dis
armament, so long as it gives
France an opportunity to control
German armament beyond the
limits already set by treaty.
Britain Expresses Views
The cabinets proposals will in
clude a new plan, growing out of
the British and French proposals,
but based on principles of the
League of Nations covenant where
by the small nations will be safe
guarded.
The government also pointedly
will ask Rome and London to

No Indiana Brew to Be
Ready for Beer Eve
Celebration.
FLEETS TO RACE HERE
Price Will Be 20 Cents a
Pint, Say Restaurant
Operators.

Thirsty Indiana residents who
plan on staging New Beers Eve
celebrations will have to conf1ne
their drinking to home brew or he
more ardent prohibition spirits to
which they have become accustomed.
1t appeared today that none of the
new legal beer will be available at
midnight Friday, although it may be
shortly thereafter.
Downtown restaurants plan on
having the beer ready for Saturday
lunch hour, but at 20 cents a pint it
may not be so laughproducing
William E. Clauer, one Of the two
holders of importer permits for the
indianapolis district, announced that
a fleet of trucks will leave st. Louis,
Milwaukee, and Cincinnati at mid
night Friday, to have the beer here
for the Saturday trade.
No Indiana Beer Ready
There also may be Indiana brews
ready, but none made in 1ndianap-
oils.
Leo Mcnamara, Of the Indiana
BreWerieS, Inc, said his beer will
not be aged before June l.
So it appeared likely that the 20
cent price may hold for some time,
when competition will bring it down
to IS cents a pint with meals, it was
predicted.
Meals may mean a single sand
wich, Paul Fry, state excise director,
has ruled.
Another ruling is that tourist
camps with twenty-five beds are
hotels and can obtain beer permits.
All the old-time nationally ia
nous beers are expected to be on
sale here including the various
brands which made st. Louis and
Milwaukee famous.
Permits Given Importers
Ninth of the ten beer importer
permits was to be issued today to
the Southern Indiana Beverage
Company at Evansville. In line
with the administrations deserving
Democrats" attitude, the Evansville
firm, which will import for the
Tenth beer district, is composed of
William, Minnie and Charles E.
Habbe.
William Habbe, Democratic sup
porter, formerly was sheriff of Van
derburg county.
Although McNutt has announced
that political patronage would not
determine selection of all importers,
the only remaining district in
which nonpartisan selection could
be carried out is in the First beer
area. This embraces Lake and
Parker counties, heavy Republican
strongholds.
RushviIle FRS Gets Plum
Fry earlier announced another
monopolistic importers permit to the

Russell R. Handy is president.
Handy helped pass the beer con-
troll law and other McNutt admin
