In 1929.
Despite large deficits by such lines

this tabulation that business as
whole, insofar as represented by larg-
er corporations, managed to operate
ct . profit.
This was In part due to the rela-
lively good showing OF the utility
group, which showed its earnings re-
duced only 26 per cent from 1929. but
the industrial division, thanks to the
comparative stability of such lines as
food products, chemicals and tobacco,
managed to show small profit,

OFFER Of PARIS
ON DEBT FAILS
To MOVE j. 8.

Frances renewed offer to the
United States to cure her debt de-
fault of last December in ex-
change for assurances that the
June payment of $40,000,000 will
be postponed appa:iently brought
no change today in the Admins
tration's policy of sitting tight"
where the debts are concerned.
The assurances sought by France
are exceedingly difficult for Presi-
dent Roosevelt to give.
Up To Congress
He is without authority to grant
the postponement. Only Con-
gress can do that, and sentiment
in Congress has been overwhelming
against any further moratorium.
Nor has Mr.. Roosevelt indicated
any disposition to ask Congress to
grant the postponement.
For all practical purposes, there
Is nothing new in the French
proposal. The French chamber
declined last December 13 to
assent to the payment of $4,000
unless there were assurances
from Washington that the pay
ment would be the last under
the Mellon-Berenger agreement.
Roosevelt Waits
Then, as now, washington
would give no such assurances,
and the French defaulted. AS
the time approaches for the
June payment the old question
has merely arisen again.
The President is represented as
being yet undecided whether to
ask Congress for plenary powers
to deal with the debtors. If he
takes the advice of Administra-
Sdon leaders in Congress, he will
not do so.

French Await Word
On U. S. Debt Stand

PARIS, May 12 G.N.S).-The
French government today anx-
iously awaited word from it's am
baSsador in Washington as Pre-
mier Edouard Daladier prepared
to go before the Chamber of
Deputies to thrash out the tangled
foreign debt problem.
The ambassador, Andre de Ia
Boulaye, was instructed by the
foreign office on Tuesday last to
communicate with the American
State Department regarding the
possibilities of a moratorium on
the debt payment, due June Is.
The instructions were sent for
ward at the time the council of
ministers decided it was in
Frances best interests to with
hold payment of the $19,O00,O0O
interest insta1lment which was
defaulted last December unless
the United States Government
gives assurance the June IS pay
ment will not have to be met.
The chamber will meet on Tues
day, giving the cabinet another
weekend Of grace before it is
obliged to confront Parliament
regarding the thorny problem.
