While neither Sir Ronald nor de-

purpose Of the ambassadors call, word
from abroad made it clear that the
British representative had been in
structed to make new inquiries about
the plans for the conference.
Great Britain Is not expected by
administration circles to move rapid

that the cabinet will make thorough
study Of the scope Of the proposed

South Dakota Editor Would
Have States Cooperate in
Making Law Effective

Washington, Jan. A.-(P)-A new
idea contemplating active cooperation
Of states with the federal government
in administering the domestic allot-
ment plan Of farm relief was put for
ward Tuesday 1of Consideration 81
the senate agricultural committee.
It was presented by w. r. Ronald,
editor of the Evening Republican,
Mitchell. S. D., as an answer to argu.
ments often raised against the bill as
passed by the house.
Ronald, who has played q promi-
nent part in advancing the voluntary
domestic allotment plan, expressed
his views In a letter to Senator Nor
beck (Rep., s. S.
Under the Ronald proposal respon-
sibility for obtaining prescribed acre.
age reductions would be placed with
the states.
Only If a state made the required
curtailment of production would 1t be
eligible to receive the allotmen:
money for distribution among its pro-
ducerS.
The senate agriculture committee
will begin public hearings on the plan
Wednesday and will take possibly q
week. Many have predicted President
Hoover would veto such q bill. thus
making 1t q major issue at the special
session in the spring.

veIt's Behalf
DAFAuLTERs OUT IN COLD
France and Other Delinquent
Nations May Be Heard
Later, However

Washington, Jan. "a. R-The
debt discussion door was thrown wide
open Tuesday by the incoming Roose-
welt administration to all debtor pow
ers which are not in default on their
Dec. is payments.
An invitation to Premier Mussolini
was extended by Secretary Stimson
on behalf Of the President-elect and
is similar to that given to Great Brit
ain last Friday.
Requests by Lithuania and Czechos-
lovaxia also were granted under SIM
liar terms.
Invitations are expected to be given
shortly to Finland, and Latvia and
the only other debtors which stand In
the preferred class with those already
invited because of their payments on
Dec. Is.
No official announcement has been
made as to the Roosevelt attitude to-
ward the defaulting powers headed
by France and including Belgium, Po-
land and Esthonia.
While there have been limitations
that these powers eventually will be
given hearings, the impression pre-
walls that the prompt payers will have
first consideration.
Several of the countries that paid
their Dec. Is installments attached
with the payment q note asking re-
consideration Of the debt terms. Italy
was among these.
Follow Definite Course
While no word came Tuesday from
the state department regarding the
procedure that would be followed in
dealing with these countries, the joint
statement Of President Hoover and
President-elect Roosevelt after their
recent conference prescribed course.
This called for, dealing with not
only the war debt problem but con-
sideration Of ways and means Of I'M
proving the world economic situation.
Discussions between Italy and the
United States will follow those with
Great Britain.
There is no disposition here now to
have formal discussions with two
powers going on simultaneously, as
1t is felt this might develop into
sort OF general conference.
The Roosevelt administration has
indicated 1t desires to adhere to the
Hoover policy that all the debt dis
cussions shall be with individual pow
ers.
From Warm Springs, Ga, where
President-elect Roosevelt is sojourn-
ing came word that Roosevelt IS ad-
herring to his stand that debtors al
ways should have access to creditors
but IS issuing no general invitations
to debt conferences and that the ini-
tiative, in each case, must come from
the debtor nations.
