DEBT SETTLEMENT
BY ONE LUMP SUM
HELD BRITISH PLAN

Lord Lothian, better known as Philip
Kerr, during his visit to washington
three weeks ago frankly admitted that
the Ottawa agreement was too shaky 10
form a serious barrier to possible
British American economic understand
ing.
It Is believed in ofrcia1 quarters in
Washington that the British Govern
ment will yield in the end and accept
Mr.. Roosevelts suggestion to expand
the scope of the coming Washington
negotiations to embrace important
economic questions, provided that the
American Government is willing to in
clude in the negotiations all the debtor
countries regardless of whether they
have paid the installment due last De-
cember.
Negotiations are reported to be pro-
ceeding at present between Great
Britain and the continental debtors on
this subject.
No final results are expected until
after the Inauguration of Mr.. Roose-
velt. But there are sufficient indications
to encourage London and Washington
in the belief that the French gov
ernment and the other defaulters will
pay the defaulted installment very soon
after March 5, In order to benefit by
the invitation extended to the other
debtor nations.

confended the letter backed up his
assertion that the belief is general that
Congress Is corrupt.
Meyers, who signed himself young
Democrat" said MIR. Barry, If you had
said in your article there were no
crooks. the young American would have
laughed"
That's encouraging" Borah re-
marked. "the next Congress will be
clean"
When Cheatham took the stand he
said he had heard all of Barrys testi-
mony.
On the day the article came before
the Senate, Cheathanl said he was
talking to Barry In his office end told
him how Prof. Johnstone, his instructor
in political science. had lectured on
Congress.
IT remember" he said, "that in an
open lecture. Prof. Johnstone had told

about lobbying and the character of
members of Congress.
During the lecture" he added, "thc
professor was asked II he held the
same views. The professor said he was
there to teach and not to express his
own view or make any commitments
on anything."
He said the professor illustrated some
lectures on lobbying.
He said politician, member OF

| have a lobbyist visit him and explain
a bill and say what fine bill 1t was,
| Cheatham testified.
He said the bill would have some
connection with the lobbyists company.
Then a few days afterwards, the
same lobbyist would say, Mr.. So and
So, We are issuing some new stock and
would like you to have some

Incidentally, the professor said, he
would say, we will trust you for our

That is what I told Mr. Barry.
IT told the professor yesterday what
I told Mr.. Barry" Cheatham continued.
He said I hadn't misquoted him or
misinterpreted him.
Il asked If he had any concrete ex-
amples in mind. He said he got his
information from Frank Kent's book"
did you tell Mr.. Barry that you
were taught members of Congress were
crooks and sold their votes for money!"
Norris inquired.

I didn't IN that many words, anyway
Did you reach the conclusion" Nor

DEMOCRATS ASKED
TO TARIFF CAUCUS
Garner Bares Plans to Unite
Against Higher Rates in
Short Session.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Speaker Garner announced today the
House Democrats would caucus tenor
row to formulate plans to block consid-
Grafton of the Crowther bill to raise
tariffs on products from countries with
deprecated currencies.
The full Ways and Means Committee
is to meet today to vote on the Crowther
and all similar proposals. With a ma
jority of the Democrats aligned against
the measures, committee rejection is
certain.
Garner said the tariff proposals were
too important to be considered" dur
ing the remaining weeks of the short
session. sr
Representative Rainey of Illinois, the
Democratic leader, Is to issue the caucus
call.
A vote will be had Monday on a mo-
tion to take the measure out of the
hands of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. The bill would automatically
raise tariffs on products from countries
that have lowered the value of their
currency.
At the same time the committee will
either approve or reject the report of
its Subcommitte, which disapproved the
tariff-raising measure.
Representative Rainey said that in
view Of the objections raised by the
Tariff Commission and Treasury off,
cials to such proposals, and the short
time remaining of this session, it was
advisable to let them 60 over until the
new Congress.
President Hoover has never let 1t
be known officially whether he was for
or against the deprecated currency
bills" Rainey said. 1T looks like the
Republicans are weakening and that
their leaders shot their guns too quick"
