WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. - At.

congress to put a curb on racketeer-
ing and crime, Senator Copeland
Dem, N. " indicated today after
conference with President Roose-

The bills, he said, would be part
of the general Tightening up" Of
legislation against crime, which he
is undertaking. After the confer

the President as greatly interested"
in the crime suppression movement.
THE r0untry is aroused to such
a pitch that there is a public de-
mand for Tightening up crime pro-
visions in the law and apprehension
of criminals" the senator asserted.
He said new legislation would

UNITED States
STILL EXPECTS
DEBT PAYMENT
France Attributes Default to
Lausanne and
Moratorium.
CONDITIONS UNCHANGED
Washington Contends Allies
Morally and Legally
Bound to Pay.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINIMS
Scripps-HOward Foreign Editor


WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Despite
the sweeping results of every Euro
pean war-debtor nation, with the
Scintillating exception of Finland,
the United States still officially ex-
poets payment on basis of capacity
to pay.
Neither the Hoover moratorium Of
1881 nor the 1882 agreement at
Lausanne virtually to cancel Ger
man reparations provided the
United States would do the same for
the allies, has any bearing on the
case, it was indicated here today,
Notwithstanding the position taken
by France and her followers.
France, in refusing any payment
on account whatever, declared she
has never contemplated the uni
lateral violation" of her war debt
agreement with the United States,
but Judged the decisions which
were taken on both sides in 1881 and
1882 had modified conditions"
Position Never Modified
The United States, it was officially
pointed out here, never had modi-
fed its position whether France had
in mind the Hoover moratorium or
the pact of Lausanne.
The excuse that Germany is no
longer making reparation payments
to the allies, therefore, is not re-
garded by the Roosevelt administra-
ton as valid. Even should the
allies never pay another cent it is
held that they are still morally and
legally bound to do SO, insofar as
their individual capacity permits.
The proposition of some of the
European debtors not to make any
further payments unless Germany
in turn, pays them, is widely re-
garded here as tantamount to re-
pudiation. For Germany obviously
never intends to resume reparationS.
She holds she has already been
stripped by the allies, the latter to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
ShOrn of Territory
Germany contends that her COL
onies alone, even according to Brit
ish estimates, were worth $25,000,-
100000. In addition, she was Shorn
of II per cent of her home terri
tory, her navy and merchant marine,
the rights and interests of her pri-
vate citizens in public utility under
takingS and concessions in Russia,
Morocco, China and elsewhere, and
so on. In addition she made pay
mentS amounting to billions of dol
lars in money and kind, most of
which money she borrowed in the
United States.
The allies, it is observed, may
make out good case for debt re-
duction, or even cancellation, as a
measure of world recovery. But, it
is remarked, to refuse payment on
the grounds that Germany has not
paid sufficiently is not valid argu-
ment.
Few members Of congress have
any illusions with regard to the flu
ture of the ST., ZOO, 100000 war debt.
Most of them frankly admit they
DON'T expect the debtors to pay.
But some of the ranking members
of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee to whom this writer talked
are as uncompromising as ever.
Rather than accept a few paltry
cents on the dollar, they hold, de-
faulters can repudiate and take the
consequences in loss of credit, pres
tige and national honor.

A PARASOL of moonlit smoke
N glowed lobster-red on its I'M
derside where the furnace glow
stained it. William Jarret, belly
down in cracking grass, turned
his head and saw it. Then he
saw, too, the little sedan. 1t slid
forward with a grumbling cough
of the clutch, jerked back
snapped forward again, and from
a window a man directed an in
tent, jeering gaze.
Put your head up again." his
voice threaded the darkness,
land we'll trim it off for you"
william Jarrett Topped side
ways in the grass and watched
the sedan, with his friend, Charles
Urschel, punched inside with the
kidnapers, speed away, dwindling
into a star-stippled horizon.
Fear gripped William Jarrett as
he stumbled back toward Okla
homa City. A voice inside him
proclaimed wretchedly that he
never would see Charles Urschel
again. He remembered the ma
chine gun the men had held when
they had tramped up on the
porch and demanded Charlie.
1t was patience formidable
and exhaustleSs, a pitiless pa
tience, a conStancy vast and end
less, that later unwound the
threads in the kidnapping of
Charles UrSchel. 1t was an en-
during patience that bears no re-
Semblance to the methods of the
two-viSored cadeverous Sherlock
Holmes of Baker street, with his
rubber-band temper, violin mus
ings and cocaine coddlings.
Holmes and the scientific" de-
tectives who steamed immacu-
lately and vicariously from him
in the pages Of subsequent de-
tective fiction, as we'll as the usual
everyday police detective, do not
share this patience.
In the Urschel chronicle reside
. most of the elements of the new
war on the underworld in which
! a new kind of janisSary fights the
battle-the federal agent.
:. He was bugled into the HOSTILE
ties when the weapons of local
and state authorities had shown
themselves to be paper shillalahS
incapable of dealing solid blow.
Blowing peppery phrases out Of
their mouths, war crying citizens
to "join the BATTLE" county and
state prosecutors and inveStiga-
tors had earned the contempt of
the public by their impotent flut-
teringS against racketeers and
snatchers from Capone and Kelly.
TINE federal men checked
Il thousand slender clewS,
Squeaking of guinea keets-that
a creaking well and a comically
somnolent bull and the interior of
a rough shack were what Charles
UrSchel could remember when,
a 100000 ransom having been
paid, he was released near Ard
more and questioned for six hours
by special agents of the division
of investigators of the United
States department of justice.
What else, Mr.. Urschel?" asked
the federal men.
There was a plane flying over
the place every day at GAS a. M,
and 5:45 p. m.," Urschel recalled.
IT used to wait what 1 figured was
fifteen minutes afterward each
time and then asked the fellow
guarding me what time it was.
He'd laugh and say, What the
hell is time to you?' Then he'd
tell me the time. Once got the
blindfold off my eyes and looked
out of a knothole and saw a field
