GREAT BRITAIN SEEKS BASIS
OF UNDERSTANDING WITH i. S.

governments are equally anxious
for an early understanding.
Want Moratorium
First, Britain's desire for asSur-
ance that the United States will
grant a moratorium on the June
war debt installmetn if a new debt
agreement has not been reached by
that time.
Second, the United States desires
that Britain return to the gold
standard as soon as possible, thus
giving impetus to the restabiliza-
ton of monetary exchanges of the
world.
Prime Minister j. Ramsey Mac
Donald Is known to place great
faith in the world economic con-
ference and to oppose making COM
mitments to Washington that
might endanger the success of the
world gathering. Macdonald is re-
ported to feel, however, that it
might be better to approach Wash
ington on war debt revision if
Britain could offer to cooperate
with the United States in an eff
fort to obtain the conditions be-
lieved necessary for a return to the
gold standard.
The gold standard is by no
means the only important subject
to be discussed at Washington. But
the British feel that the prospects
for an understanding with the Uni
ted States were considerably in
creased by Britain's decision to lis
ten to American proposals for a
possible return to gold here. This
constituted complete reversal OF
opinion prevalent fortnight ago.

He fired, and one man fell fatal

capped in the nearby automobile.
Sheriff's officers were informed
that numerous cars loaded with
cigarettes have been raided on the
level stretch between Santa Ana
and Irvine IN recent weeks.
A special train rider was placed
aboard to put a halt to the raids.
The dead bandit, as yet uniden-
titled, was brought to the county
morgue here.
1t was believed the men climbed
aboard the train at Santa Ana and
forced entrance to the express car
as it sped through the darkness.
Sheriff's officers said apparent
ly the men had been tossing the
boxed cigarettes out of the car and
the accompanying automobile pick
ed up the loot, the gang leaving
the train as it slowed down near
San Juan Capistrano.

and the White House today for his
II remaining days in office, leav-
ing his party clear cut policy on
war debts and monetary stability
but disappointing followers who
had hoped for an open bid for the
retention of party leadership.
Mr.. Hoover, in what was widely
heralded as his farewell address,
called for international co-opera-
zion for economic revival, with pos
sible use of war debt payments to
the United States as a fund to aid
central banks in stabilizing cur
rencies on gold basis. He derid-
ed the contention that the war
debts in themselves are the domin-
q ant factor in the world depression,
and made clear a belief that if
Europe expects concessions on the
debts, her nations must cooperate
in stabilizing currencies and other
wise acting for economic better
ment. He spoke before the Lincoln
Day dinner of the National Repub-
lican club.
The world, he said, should try to
find "a place for silver, at least in
enlarged subsidiary coinage"
But though his audience followed
his comments on international af-
fairs closely, it was when he turn
ed briefly to party matters that the
1900 Republican listeners displayed
the greatest interest. Some party
leaders thought Mr.. Hoover might
have a sensational answer to re-
ports of movement to upset his
supporters in the party organiza-
tion.
Predicts Return
The President referred to his de-
feat last November, and predict
ed that the Republican party would
be returned to power.
"An organization that can show
more than 100000 adherents af-
ter 10 years-an irreducible min
mum in the reaction from the
worst depression the world has
ever seen-is indeed testimony to
the virility of the principles Lin
coin enunciated," he said.
