BILL IS APPROVED
Measure, FavorabIy Report
ed, Applies Only to Individ-
uaI and Farm Debtors.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Judiciary Committee to-
day favorably reported a bankruptcy
relief bill to apply at this time only
to individual and farm debtors and
leaving railroad and other corporate
relief for the next Congress.
Committeeman said that while there
was general agreement that railroad
reorganization and other corporation
debt adjustment was needed, inclusion
Of these sections in the legislation would
endanger passage at this session.
Substitute for House Bill.
The measure reported Is a substitute
for the bill recently passed by the
House, covering individual and farm
debtors and railroads and other cor
porattons.
This measure had been completely
rewritten by Senate judiciary sub
committee headed by Senator Hastings,
Republican, Of Delaware, but only half
Of this proposal was reported to the
Senate today.
Chairman Norris Of the full commit
tee expressed the hope the partial bill
could be approved at this session.
Everybody agreed" Norris said,
"that there should be legislation on
the portions stricken out, but there was
so much division OF opinion it was de-
cided it would be physical impossible
ity to pass the legislation at this ses-
sion with that In it,"
Provisions Provided.
Under the individual debtor section,
man could escape the stigma of
bankruptcy II he gained the sanction
OF majority Of his creditors in num-
bers and amounts Of money involved.
and then obtained court approval of
any agreement for partial cash set
tlement or an extension of time to pay.
In the case Of an agreement involv-
ing mortgage the creditors lien would
not be jeopardized. Under an extern
sion to pay, the mortgage holder would
be paid off first
Under the House provision relating
to individual debtors, it would not have
been necessary for a debtor to obtain
consent OF q majority of his creditors
to readjustment If he could convice
the court OF the soundness Of his case.
Farm Section.
The farm section Of the Senate bill
approved in committee today provides
that upon application Of Is farmers in
any county, Federal Court may ap-
point conciliation commissioner to
consider their application for cash set
tlement or extension of time to pay.
The conciliation commissioner or
trustee would be paid $40 case by
the Government and other expenses
would be covered by $40 fee the farm
er would be required to pay with his
application.
If the farmers creditors desired a
supervising commissioner, the latter
would be paid IS day and expenses
by the Government and the creditors
desiring such supervision.
Pending a decision on the farmers
applications, Hastings explained, all
debts would be held up, including FORE

The letter was In amplihcation Of

of Senate amendments to the bill,

With these changes, approximately
$1,000, 900 must be saved on the pay

impossible at this time to point out the
exact defects which this reduction of
personnel would have upon the service

Warns Of Dismissals.
However prudently the requirement
Is administered, it Is likely to involve,
among other things, the immediate
consolidation of many hundreds Of
rural routes and the dismissal of the
surplus carriers; the elimination of vil-
lage delivery service and the city deliv-
cry service in smaller communities; the
reduction Of collection and delivery
schedules in all cities, and a substantial
curtailment of the railway mail service,
with consequent slowing up of con-
nectionS, transfers and dispatches
throughout the country The extent to
which each Of these various expedients
may be pursued will, of course, depend
upon the administrative policy adopted.

LONDON, February 13.-Prime Min
lister Macdonald told the House of
Commons today that the debts discus
sion at Washington next month will
range over the whole program outlined
for the projected World Economic Con-
ference.
In an important statement to the
house, he accepted the wider scope for
the Debts Conference, declaring the
whole effort in those negotiations would
be for a harmonious approach to the
problem with the United States.
He did not indicate that the British
delegation, which he probably will
head, would be empowered to make any
definite decisions at Washington.
Six Main Points Evolved.
Economists who evolved a tentative
program for the World Economic Con-

will the House have a general idea
Of what proposals the British govern

leader of the Labor party, asked the
prime minister during the question
period.
THE agenda drawn up by the COM

World Economic Conference covers the
field" Mr.. Macdonald replied.
Mr.. Lansbury persisted:

war debts?"
1T has been stated again and again, "
said the prime minister, that as far as
war debts are concerned we want an
agreement with America which will en-
able us to pursue our European policy"
The Labor leader continued to press
him.
Surely" he said, "the Commons and
the country are entitled to ask for a
clear statement of the lines Of the policy
on war debts"
