double the price of wheat and cotton,

Chamberlain Speech Indi.
Gates England Wants France
to Be in Debt ParIey.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN

The first clear indication that Great
Britain would insist on having France
participate at the Forthcoming debt dis
cussions was seen today in official quar-
tiers in the speech delivered by the Brit
ish chancellor Of exchequer. Sir Neville
Chamberlain. Sir Neville, replying in
directly to the invitation extended last
Friday by the President-elect, stated
that two essentials were necessary for a
new debt agreement with the United
States. One of these two essentials was
that the settlement must not involve re-
sumption of German reparations.
Since this object cannot be achieved
without the inclusion of France in a
debt agreement. because France is by
far the most important beneficiary of
the German reparations, the statement
OF the British chancellor of exchequer
is being interpreted that no debt settle
ment can be reached unless the Ameri-
can Government abandons its present
policy of dealing only with those nations
which have met the December INSTALL
ment.
Not Eager to Pay Up.
According to reports received in the
course CT the morning from Paris, the
French are aware that il would be i'm
possible for the Roosevelt administration
to include them in the general con-
versation without their paying the $780,
100000 which they have defaulted
The French government shows nc
eagerness to do this, for two reasons
ircf fhnv In ,o+ ~,
to pay the Gefaulted amount to the
Hoover administration because it would
weaken their own case in the eyes o1
the French people.
the French have not pleaded poverty
when they refused to pay the December
lnstallment, but based their refusal on
the fact that Mr. Hoover had led them
to believe that by their acceptance Of the
1881 moratorium, the payment of their
own obligations would be extended ir
case that the world depression con
tinued.
The refusal of the American Gov.
ernment to reocen the discussion ot
the problem CT the war debts last
December was considered by the French
chamber % unethical and this led tc
May Pay in Spring.
With the coming into office of tbs
Roosevelt administration, the situation
will change materially, since Mr.. Roose-
velt was net a party to the discussions
which have taken place between the
American and the French Governments
since the end of June, 1881. Conse.
quontly the same reasons which have
led the refusal to pay Of The December
instalment will no longer exists.
The other reason why France Is moi
likely to pay the amount due i'm
mediately is that the Paul-Boncoul
cabinet is likely to be overthrowr
within the next few days.
According to reliable information Mr.
Paul-Boncour will be followed by So.
cialist combination, Calad 'er-C Chau.
temps. These two men will form cnly
2 stopgap cabinet, lasting only few
weeks, and will be replaced by another
HeT-iot concentration cabinet. This
cabinet is expected to ccme to power
about the same time as Mr.. Roosevelt
assumes Office.
To make any ge1ture now. the French
say, would be u-eles5 and might DOS.

Senator Norris of Nebraska. who for

Grafton of the power and fertilizer
plants at Muscle Shoals on more ex-
tended scale, Is expected to reintroduce
his bill for Government operation at the
coming session of the new Congress.
His bill was twice defeated by the fail
ure of the late President Coolidge and
of President Hoover to approve Of it.
His proposal is for the sale Of power
to municipalities. counties. State and
farm organizations at rates to be fiXe1
by the Federal Power Commission. If
satisfactory contracts cannot be made
with private companies. So far as the
fertilizer plants are concerned, the
Nebraska Senator proposes that they
shall be run as experimental stations.
1t has been contended that nitrates
can be produced more cheaply by other
methods than the process which has
been designed for use at Muscle Shoals.
However, 1t Is contended by the military
authorities that In the event Of war the
possibility Of the production of nitrates
| in great quantities at Muscle Shoals for
use in making munitions would be Of
inestimable value to the country.

Eleventh Annual Baby
Clinic Very Successful

The eleventh annual Baby Clinic
sponsored by the White Bluffs Wo-
mans Club was, in the words of DR..
Spaulding, very, very successful In
deed" The clinic was held Wednesday
in the Presbyterian church.
Fifty-nine pre-school children were
examined by the doctor, who found
their condition very good. But three
cases of malnutrition were found
among the children and these were
caused by lack of fresh milk. The cpl
demic diseases of measles, scarlet fever
smallpox ETC., are seldom to be found
In this community and the children
are consequently spared the resulting
disorders of weak hearts or eyes and
undermined constitutions. The dry clt-
mate also precludes many of the nose
and throat infections.
DR.. Spaulding discussed with the club
committee in charge Of the work, Mrs.
John McFee, Mrs. j. M. Shinn and
Mrs. D. S. Wilkinson, a health move
ment which is to be sponsored by the
KiWanis club 1t is expected that within
! the next year it will inaugurate con-
| test, educational in it's nature, aimed
| to raise the health standards among
young children. A cup will be presented
: to the community showing the greatest
percentage of gain. Kennewick, Benton
City, Prosser, Hanford and White
Bluffs will probably be enrolled in the
contest.
Mrs. Davis, assistant county agent,
accompanied DR.. Spaulding to White
Bluffs. She plans to come to White
Bluffs in the future to give talk
on child nutrition. 1t is her conten-
ton that even in these times OF de-
creased income it is possible to work
into the decreased budget all OF the
items of food SO necessary to a child's
proper development. A later announce
ment will be made of the exact date OF
the meeting.
