While President Roosevelt and

friends saw in it definite indica-

There were unconfirmed reports
that the Roosevelt administration
was exploring the possibility of
recognition even before the con-
vening of the world economic
conference in London this sum-

The fact remains, nevertheless,
that the Washington government
is seeking all shades Of opinion

time comes to move it can be
done, if necessary, without the

FAIL TO ACT

By RALPH HElNZEN
nited Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, April 15-(UP).-The
chamber of deputies adjourned
yesterday for month without ap-
proving payment of the defaulted
December installment of Frances
war debt to the United States.
The chamber sat all Thursday
night, finally approved the 1888
budget. without provision for the
war debts payments in it and adj

Hence, former Premier Edouard
Herriot will sail for Washington
on the liner lie de France next
Monday without a check in his
pocket to meet the defaulted pay
ment-a check he had devoutly
hoped to carry as a big help 20
him in his conversation with Pres
ident Roosevelt.
He was unable to convince the
government that it should risk a
vote of confidence before the
chamber adjourned, and therefore
will not be able to give the presl-
dent any assurance whatever that
the annuity will be approved later
by parliament.
Herriot will proceed to WASH
ington more as an observer than
a representative of France en-
powered to take any action on
debts, economics, or any other vi
tai world problem, as a result OF
this situation.
He will be without power to
sign agreements or engage the
government in any decision of
any sort.
Premier Edouard Daladier has
promised parliament that the gov
eminent would no nothing about
the defaulted annuity until the
debt problem has been solved, and

WASHINGTON. Apr. Is (UP)
Fresh demand for infationary ac-
ton that will put men to work is
pounding against the ears Of
President Roosevelt in a swelling
chorus that grows more impera-
tive every hour.
Industry is demanding action to
start consumer buying.
Labor is calling frantically for

Farm leaders say that the price

enough and that there must be

cratic chieftains expect TO turn
back these proposals at this time.
but many of them are converted
to the necessity of some imitation
airy measure.
Even from inside the presi.
dents official family comes word
that more far-reaching action
than has been hitherto proposed
in the emergency program must
be taken quickly.
Within a few days the presi-
dent is expected to move toward
setting up a national co-ordinator
for the railroads, which will in
volve practically government SUI
pervision of their operation.
Other proposals receiving seri-
Gus consideration at the White
House are these:
1. Limited imitation through a
public works bond issue Of prob
ably $6,000,000,00O.
2. Launching a vast program
of government financed construc..
ton of low-cost dwellings, flood
control, sewerage systems, water
works and grade crossing elimIna-
ton.
3. Enforcement Of minimum
wages either by federal or state
action, or self-regulation within

4. A shorter work-week to
spread employment.
The administration now regards
unemployment as the most press
ing problem of the moment. In
fiation, public works and all other
proposals are aimed at this.
Before it is over the new deal

Roosevelt revolution, for condi-
tions are set to embark upon ex-
periments such as have never been
seen in peace-time.

To achieve this end some things
may be tried which normally
would be unconstitutional-but
the courts will be counted upon
to recognize the gravity of the
emergency.

rang out from the inaugural ball

RALEIGH. April Is. - The
Waynick bill. passed by both
houses Of the general assembly
under 4 suspension Of the rules,
will permit 80 per cent beer 10
be imported into North Carolina
prior to May ]. when the brew
can be legally sold in this state,
and thus will prevent 4 possible
beer shortage in North Carolina
during the first few days it is on
sale.
However. the principal reason
for this bill is that in legalizing
the importation of beer into this
state it will better enable the de-
partment of revenue to keep a
check on the amount of beer that
is coming into the state, and to
collect the state tax on the brew.
A number of carloads of beer
have already been shipped into
various points in North Carolina,
it is reported, and the beer is to
be distributed to the retailers in

night May |.
Several days ago it was thought
here that wholesalers might have
some difficulty in transporting
and storing beer in the state
pending the Equalization Of its
sale on May l, but the Waynick
bill legalizes the Importation Of
beer on and after the date of the
bills ratification, and as result
North Carolinians will probably
have plenty Of beer with which to
quench their thirst on the first
day Of its legalized sale. And, it
is expected. there will be little
smuggling of beer into the state,
or taX-dodging.
The Waynick bill met no OPP
position in either branch of the
general assembly. 1t is expected
to be ratified today.
