DETROIT, November 4-Despite the

slider an exception" if Henry Ford
wishes to abandon his announced plan
of lay-offs to conform With N. r. A. auto
code work-hours, the Ford Motor Co.,
without replying TO the offer. tonight
went ahead with plans to put the lay
offs into effect.
Nine thousand workmen, the COM
pany announced, will be laid off next
week, and similar numbers in succeed
ing weeks, to bring the average Ford
hours down from 40 a week to 35, as
provided in the auto code.
This the company was represented as
believing, is another Ford move to COM
Henry Ford believes the hour provision
Of the auto code is new prohibition
against work in this country"
No Signs of Early Reply.
No comment was forthcoming upon
Recovery Administrator Hugh S. John
sons statement that he assumed the
lay-offs were being made because Ford
production had fallen off seasonally.
There were no indications that the
company planned an immediate reply.
Automotive officials said production
in all factories generally is slow during
the present season while new models
are in the process of production. There
has been no indication, however. that
the Ford company plans to introduce
a new model in the immediate future.
Prior to Johnson's statement, the
Ford Co. had been represented as
believing its lay-off plan is in no way
a violation of the provisions of the
N R. A., despite statements of re-
covery officials that reaching an aver
age by lay-off was regarded as such.
Ford, it was indicated. feels that the
plan of reducing hours is merely
another step in his announced in
tention to "obey the law in all
respects" although he does not coll

the code, We would have to live down
to it, This was recalled today, in
the light of the company's statement
it "is taking this mandatory step N

Ford has been represented all along
as feeling his factory goes the N. r. A.

principles.

Recognition Is Cry.
The strike cry has been for com

wanted the same type of union labor
contracts that the commercial operators
of the area gave their miners. The steel
operators promised to give such con-

BR|T|SH-U. s. DEBT
TALKS COLLAPSE
Negotiations Abandoned on
Failure to Meet Terms
of Roosevelt.
BY the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt and Great Brit
aims representatives came to the end
Of the road yesterday on the proposal
for downward revision of the war debts
owed this country.
At final White House conference, it
was conceded there was no basis for any
new agreement on debts.
This week a statement will be given
out explaining the differences that pre-
vent a solution of this veXing problem.
The British, in asking for a down.
ward cut. were unable to meet the terms
of Mr.. Roosevelt. So discussions were
called off.
Further Talks Unlikely.
There was no official announcement
after the parlcy, but it was learned un-
officially there was little or no prospect
Of further negotiations.
Sir Ronald Lindsay. the British Am
bassador, and Sir Frederick Leith- Ross,
the head of the British debt commits
sion. declined to talk upon leaving the
White House. as did the other partici-
pants, William Phillips. the Undersecre-
tary of State. and Dean Acheson, the
Undersecretary of the Treasury
The British embassy said last night
that Sir Frederick will leave the en-
bassy next Wednesday. Officials de-
clined to elaborate, but it was presumed
he intended to leave for London then.
Token Payment Expected.
1t is expected here that the British
will make another token payment on the
December 15 installment. while President
Roosevelt awaits the convening of Con-
gress in January to reach an under
standing on this question
Failure of the debtor nations to meet
their payments last June Is has appar-
emily convinced the President there is nc
need for entering new agreements, at
least until Congress meets.
There is no doubt here that the whole
debts issue will be postponed until after
he national monetary problem is settled
After the President determines the re-
lation of the dollar. pound and franc he
probably will be ready to talk again
about how much the European nations
owe the United States.

NEW YORK, November 4-Gerard
SWope. president of the General Elec-
trio Co., in an address tonight said his
plan to organize industry needs no new
legislation other than that now COM
bined in the national recovery act.
He said he realized that to mobilize

Gated, could not be accomplished in

1T is necessary" he said, that codes
Of fair competition and better ethics
for the conduct of business be estab-

of each industry is necessary to stabilize
it and make employment more regular.
Fair prices and more efficient service
to the public is another objective"
Swope made it clear that while he
believed Government management and
control of industry would be disastrous
he made distinction between that and

posed the code when it was adopted at

and intimated it had been forced upon
the association without members gen.
orally realizing its provisions.
Boosts Are "Subterfuge."
He said the Scent increase in prices
for class l and class milk provided
in the code was only apparent" and
characterized the proposed boosts as a
"Subterfuge" to make the majority of
member producers think they actually
are going to get more money than they
are now receiving.
, But the farmer won't know from
month to month lust what the amount
of mis- basic, or class l milk will be,
and the code provides that the pro-
ducer be paid only for the amount of
basic milk sold. with whatever is not
sold to be deducted from his pay,
said Bristow. Present contracts with
distributors specify the amounts of
