allied problems may cause an

Whitehall authorities. confess
ing anxiety as to the President

frankly apprehensive that an
other formula for the Anglo

Treasury Urges Power

The Treasury today recon.
mended that Congress give the
Tariff Commission broad power
to adjust the Hawley-Smoo tariff
act TO meet the situation caused
by the deprecated foreign, cur
rencieS. >s,s.ra
The proposal was laid before
the House Ways and Means Com.
mittee by John j. Hopkins, spe-
cial assistant to the Secretary Of
the Treasury.
Under the Treasury plan the
commission would investigate each
manufactured product affected
and report to the President. Hop
kinS opposed the bill Of Repre-
sentative Hill CD Of Washing
ton, directing the Treasury to
adjust duties.
Backers Of the Hill bill claim
at least 100000 workers have
been thrown out Of employment
because deprecated currencieS
enable foreign manufacturers to
produce more cheaply and under
sell American manufacturers in
this country.
Hopkins maintained that the
Treasury proposal would not raise
additional tariff trade barriers,
and said the dumping of foreign
goods in the United States sis not
as bad as has been painted"

British Bar Trade Deals
In Debt Negotiations

Great Britain is prepared to
discuss economic problems along
with war debts with the new
Democratic administration, but
any decisions affecting other ma
tions must be withheld pending
the world economic conference at
which all the principal powers are
represented.
This was made clear by the
British government in its accept
ance Of President-elect Roosevelt's
invitation to send a debt mission
to this country after March 4. Mr..
Ro0Sevelt's invitation stated the
debt discussion must be concur
rent with and conditional upon a
discussion Of economic problems.
The British reply, made public
by the State Department, said
His MajeSty'S government was
happy to accept the invitation but
served notice that discussions on
matters which constitute the sub
ject Of the approaching world
economic conference and which
affect other states cannot be
reached before discussions take
place at that conference between
all the states represented there"
This was regarded In State De
partment circles as q warning on
the part Of Britain that it will not
be prepared to make a bargain
with the United States to return
to the gold standard in return
for debt cancellation or revision
until the outcome Of the world
economic conference.

tariff preferences set UP by the
Ottawa Conference last year and
the ''gentlenan's agreement" with
France worked out at Lausanne.
Congress is already seething
with unrest and opposition to any
material tinkering with the debt
structures.
There Is some sympathy for the
British and considerable senti-
ment in favor Of bringing down
the British terms somewhat to
conform with those given other
debtors, but it ends there.
Every debtor besides Britain, it
is pointed out, settled its obliga-
tions at less than so cents on the
dollar. Britain's settlement
amounted to about 20 cents on the
dollar.

Ignores Propaganda

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Jan. 26
Q.N.S0 0.-PreSiden elect Roose-
welt refused to be ruffled today
by statements regarding interna:
tional debts emenattng from for
eign capitals.
He regards them as prelimi-
nary propaganda, looking to- the
most generous treatment possible,
and smilingly withheld comment.
All inquiries were met with the
pat answer that Secretary Of
State Stimson is handling prelim-
mary negotiations and will con-
tinue to do so up to March 4.
Plans Wait Inauguration
What the incoming administra-
ton proposes to do about foreign
debts will be learned by the in
dividual nations after inaugura-
tion, and the information will
come from Mr.. Roosevelt person
ally.
It is his desire that each coun-
try appealing for a revision Of
its debts send one man to present
the case. With the visits Of Ram.
say Macdonald and Pierre Laval
to President Hoover as a prece-
dent, it was assumed by unoffi-
cial observers here that the pre-
miers Of the various govern
ments would come to- washing
ton.
The President-elect is unGer-
stood to be anxious to avoid deal
ing with commissions because he
believes better results can be OBJ
tanned by conversations between
two individuals.
Linked to Trade Farley
Although Mr.. Roosevelt scrupu'
lously has avoided making any
statement concerning the nature
of the attitude he will take
other than that he Is opposed to
cancellation-those around him
anticipated that debt concessions
would be dependent entirely on
agreements that might be reached
relative to the world economic
conference that will follow.
No word was forthcoming to-
day about the Roosevelt attitude
toward France and the other de-
faulting nations other than repeti-
tion Of the statement that ANY
debtor should have access to his
creditor"
The PreSidept-elect continued
today a conference on fiscal and
railroad policies begun last night
with Walker D. Hines, wartime
director of the United States
Railroad Administration.
Hines is understood to have
been recommended to Mr.. Roose-
welt for appointment as director
Of the budget, and his advice is
being sought both in connection
with q program to balance the
budget and cut IS per cent from
federal expenditures and a pro.
gram to rehabilitate the faltering
railroads.

man of the House Appropriations
Committee under Woodrow
Wilson, was rendered the budget
