Passport System Extended.
The Council Of Peoples Commissars
decreed q wide extension Of the pass
port system recently introduced in the
largest cities by declaring today that
henceforth it Is to be applied to the
populations Of all cities, workers settle
ments, all new plants and enterprises
to transport, state farms and tractor
stations. as well as to all persons living
within 100 kilometers of Russia's west
ern frontier.

of the collective and individual peas
antry, although in all cases. save In the
principal centers Of population. in which
it was originally introduced, passports
will be issued irrespective Of the appli-
cant's social origin and socially useful
work.
This means that the passports will
serve merely as identity cards In the
smaller cities rather than as q means
of wedding out those considered un-
desirable, Is in the case Of the larger
cities.

to be registered, by rural Soviets, presag-
ing an extension Of the passport sys-
TEN to these areas eventually.

PARIS EXPECTS STAY.
Cabinet Awaits Herriots Return 70
Discuss Debts.

PARIS, April 20 CP.-Government
circles considered the debts problem
we'll started toward solution today, con-
fident that former Premier Herriot is
convinced President Roosevelt will ar-
range a moratorium on the June Is
payment.
The French cabinet will take up the
question Of making the long overdue
December Is payment as soon as M
Herriot returns here next week. A NOR
atorium and ensuing debt negotiations
are expected to make discussion Of the
June payment unnecessary.
NJ Herriot is credited with a per-
sonal success in his Washington visit
particularly because President Roosevelt
conversed in French throughout.
The measure Of NJ Herriot's success
is indicated by the growing anxiety OF
Premier Daladier's supporters over the
future of his cabinet. Supporters OF
NJ Herriot see the chances greatly
strengthened for a speedy return to
power by him. NJ. Herriot lost the pre-
miership last December when he in
sisted the debt be paid. NJ. Daladier is
a p-otege and radical Socialist party
colleague of the former premier
The action yesterday Of the United
States Senate in approving payment OF
the debt in silver brought no objections
in principle.
Moderate optimism was expressed In
the press. The view was generally taken
that Washington at least has lessened
the strain and improved the atmos-
phere.
A Geneva dispatch to the newspaper
Excelsior said a $4,000, 600 deposit in
American currency in the Bank for In
ternational Settlements was Cancelled
yesterday by the Bank Of England

UphoIds Contention D. c.
Group Has Control of De-
probation Accounting.

The claim Of the District Public Utili-
Ties Commission to control over the
charges made by utility companies op
Grating here for replacement OF local
properties was supported by An exhaus-
tive brief filed late yesterday with the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The brief contained citations from 30
court decisions. one by the United States
Supreme Court, and numerous statutes
in upholding the argument that the
Federal agency should recognize the
right and power Of the local commits
sion over depreciation accounting. ex-
cept for purely interstate business.
Answers Firms Pracs.us.
The move is designed to offset the
practice Of interstate firms of claiming
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and not local commissions have
jurisdiction over depreciation account
ing, IN cases where orders Of local COM
missions are contested.
The local commission asks that the
Interstate body rescind its recent order

counts. at least 50 far as. the local reg
ulation OF telephone company deprecia-
ton accounting is concerned.
This matter is not involved in Dis
trict supreme Court where the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co. is con-
testing commission order for 10 per
cent reduction in telephone rates,
commission rule on depreciation ac-
counting being one a the points at
issue. The company questioned the
power OF the commission over deprecia-
tion accounts.
While the Interstate Commission has
power over interstate matters. the local
commission argues that it has and
should have power over the local
phases Of this interstate business. since
80 per cent Of telephone business is
local.
Brief Is Quoted.
The brief declares in one place: We
submit that the Public Utilities Com
mission Of the District has full and ade-
quate power to regulate the accounts of
utilities operating in the District and
that any attempted exercise of con-
melting authority can result only in the
illustration OF the regulatory efforts of
the two commissions having the same
purpose"

A tariff truce, which would put .

Mr. Herriot, who won American ap-
proval and lost his premiership several
months ago by urging France to pay
the December debt installment, declined
to discuss the debt situation.
His first purpose In coming to
America. he said, was to strengthen the
good will already existing between the
peoples of his own country and Of the
United States. He was confident that
this aim had been accomplished. In
addition, his mission had come to work
for the establishment Of world peace
