Our theory of government keeps

Roosevelt tried to tamper with the

I say to you that the Governor

THE Governor ought to have
control of the executive depart

Police were sent to the scene and

MORATORIUM ON

British Papers Say That
Economic Conference
Will Be Delayed.
By United Press

By United Press
LONDON, Feb. l. Political
writer's of two important London
newspapers, the Daily Express and
the Daily Mail, understood today
that the Roosevelt administration
would grant Great Britain a mora
forum on the next war debt pay
ment, due June Is.
The Daily Express also understood
the moratorium probably would be
extended to cover the December,
1888, payment, if debt settlement
had not been reached by that time.
A lump sum final settlement is
expected, the Daily Express said.
The newspaper understood that
when British Ambassador Sir Ron
aid Lindsay reports to the cabinet
he will urge that the government
enter no commitments regarding
tariffs or currency with the United
States.
The Daily Mail understood that
Lindsay, after giving the cabinet the
views of the United States PreSi-
dent ELECT, would return to Wash
ington Immediately to inform Mr.
Roosevelt that Great Britain could
not consider returning to the gold
standard until some positive agree
ment were reached on international
financial policy.
Such an agreement is impossible
pending a war debts settlement, the
Daily Mail said. Meanwhile, the
world economic conference is ex-
pected to be postponed indefinitely.
