TO DISCUSS DEBTS
Former Undersecretary of
State Familiar With Inter-
national Problems.

Debts" in the National Radio Forum

until March, 1888. He has an intimate
knowledge of international affairs, hav-
ing been successfully chief of the Vests
ern European division, Assistant Secre-
tary Of State, Ambassador to Japan and
finally. from 1880 to 1888, Under Secre-
tary of State.
1t was while he was Acting Secretary
of State that the negotiations between
the French and the American govern
ments, which led to the acceptance of
the Hoover moratorium, took place.
In December, 1882, as well as this
December. the French government in
timated that 1t was because of definite
promises given them by the Hoover ad-
ministration to revise drastically the
waE-debts, that they agreed to cut down
the German reparation payments by
80 per cent. And again. because of this
alleged promise, they do not intend to
pay the yearly instalments agreed upon
in the Mellon -Berenger agreement,
until the American Government has
fulfilled its promise to reduce these
debts
Mr.. Castle, either as Assistant Secre-
tary or Undersecretary or Acting Secre-
tary of State. has been intimately con-
nected with the debt problem and will
throw some light on this much debated
question.

of 800 deputies of the Centrist and
Rightist parties.
In addition, the premier designate
said ITO parliamengarians of the
Agrarian and so of other small parties
were behind him, thus giving the new
cabinet a substantial majority in the
CorteS.

Potential difficulties which may con-

NEW YORK, December I6.-Gen. w.
W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsyl-

tenetS of capitalism in speech before

him its medal of honor for distinguished

y Whatever else may be said about
capitalism, he said, 1T is common

in unbounded quantities. Evils and in

wealth has undoubtedly arisen, hut that

''AS 1 look back upon the situation,
it might have been well for us in this
country to have gone off the gold stand

Britain did. -
Gen. Atterbury said the cart has
been before the horse in the attempt

in production and consumption. ."
He said if intelligently administered,

1T seems to me, however, he said,
that We have gone too far. The many
small industries, in their endeavor to
become codified, have made successful
administration of their affairs extremely
difficult, if not impossible; whereas, had
the codification been confined to the
larger industries it would perhaps have
embraced a relatively large proportion
of our business, with the disturbance of
only small proportion"
Concerning the monetary contro-
versies, Gen. Atterbury said "the none
tary system Of the country must be one
in which the people have absolute con-
fidence"
That means, he said, there can be
no printing OF paper money and moth
