WOMEN ARE URGED
i TO READ PAPERS
Mrs. Roosevelt Stresses Importance
in Last Press Conference
Until July.

The importance of women following
the news from day to day was stressed
by Mrs. Roosevelt this morning at her
last press conference until July. She
urged women to read not only cne, but
at least two, papers with divergent poll
cies so they could understand both sides
of questions and draw their own con-
illusions.
This is a time" she said, when
women have a special stake in watching
what is happening in national and in
sternational affairs. Every woman should
have a knowledge of what is going on
at the London Economic Conference
because it affects future settlements
and amicable relations among the ma
tioDS of the world.
1T has been stated that the debt
question is not to be discussed at the
conference, but whatever does come out
of the economic conference will de-
termine economic conditions here and
abroad and affect the economic status
of the whole world
Therefore it is vitality important to
every woman in her own home. So
many women ask us. How can / keep
up with what is going on?'
II have an idea that busy woman
should get into the habit of reading
first the headlines and then at least
the first paragraph of subjects in which
she is interested, and thus she can keep
track of what is going on.
Il always used to teach my classes in
current events this way of reading news
papers. I can't talk politics, so I cant

cumstances with which the British gov
eminent accompanies this payment, al
though he, by no means, comedies some
OF the statements concerning the world
wide economic cause and effect con-
tanned in his majesty's governments
communication, especially in so far as
they affect the economic conference.
The President points out to his
majesty's government the well known
fact 1t Is not within his discretion to
reduce or cancel the existing debt owed
to the United States, nor is it within
his power as President to after the
schedule Of debt payments contained
IN the existing settlement. Such power
rests with Congress
He notes likewise the suggestion of
his majesty's government that they de-
sire to make further representations
concerning the entire question of the
debt, and that his majesty's govern
ment requests that time and place be
indicated where such representations
can be made to the President or the
appropriate representative of the Execu-
tive
The President suggests his maiesty's
government provide for such representa-
tions to be made in Washington as soon
as convenient.
ANY results of such discussion of
the debt question can be submitted for
the information or tha consideration of
the Congress when it next meets.
Accept. excelency, the renewed as
surances OF my highest consideration. !"

BRITISH TO FORM MISSION.
Chamberlain Is Mentioned as Its Pos
sible Chief.

LONDON, June Is GP.-The next
step in the Anglo American war debt
situation will be the formation of a
debt mission to Washington, but no
consideration has been given to the
personnel or the person who will be
selected to head the negotiators for a
review of the problem.
The British consider the situation so
satisfactory at present that negotiations
can continue through Ambassador Sir
Ronald Lindsay, who has handled them
so far in Washington.
Informal debt discussions may develop
between British and American delegates
at the World Economic Conference.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the
exchequer, has been mentioned as
possible head of the mission to revise
Stanley Baldwin's debt pact. (Mr. Bald
win, now president of the council in the
cabinet, headed the British 1923 mission
which drew up the present funding
agreement with the United States. At
that time he was chancellor of the
exchequer,
This was speculation, however, and 1t
was authoritatively stated that the
present government view is that no
minister will be needed for the Wash
ington discussions.
Mr.. Chamberlain will be kept close to
the Economic Conference as the lead
horse" of the British delegation to carry
through the comprehensive program he
outlined yesterday.

ROOSEVELT DEBT
ACTION PRAISED
London Press Expresses
Warm Appreciation for Part
in Negotiations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY Ine Associated fIeSS.
LONDON. June 15-Warm appre-
citation OF his part in debt negotiations
was accorded President Roosevelt in
newspaper editorials today welcoming
the latest developments as relief from
prolonged tension and as removing a
barrier to the success of the World
Economic Conference.
Nothing could be more satisfactory
than the settlement" said the Times.
Its supre ne merit is that it is neither
default, which is unthinkable, nor
a payment in full, which would have
stultified the whole professed purpose
of the World Economic Conference.
Roosevelt will receive in the whole
world immense credit for the vision and
domestic difficulties, he brought a
spirit of cooperation into play"
Hope for Final Settlement.
Paying tribute to Roosevelt's
Courage and wisdom" the Daily Tele-
graph said the spirit in which he con-
Quoted the recent negotiations almost
justifies the hope that the future con-
ference for settlement will be in the
nature of final conference upon war
indebtedness"
The Daily Mail, asserting that
Roosevelt accepted the British pay
ment in the most generous and states
manlike spirit" said he earned the
gratitude of the whole world.
The News Chronicle said: This
compromise does not settle the crisis,
but postpones it, and it offers the
World Economic Conference an oppor-
tunity to provide the President with
substantial return in the way Of
trade recovery to offer American opin--
ion as the basis of final liquidation OF
the debt
The Daily Herald said: Thanks
largely to Roosevelt, the June debt crisis
is over, but the whole debt question
must be settled long before December or
another crisis will be upon us"

TWO PAY DAYS IN June
FOR FIELD EMPLOYEES
Agriculture Department Will Con.
tinue System Unless It Causes
Too Much. Trouble.

BY the Associated Press.
Department of Agriculture employees
in the field are being paid twice in
June instead of once a month as Gus
tomary heretofore.
Differing from other departments Of
the Government, it has always paid its
field forces once a month.
1t has decided to experiment to see if
the employees could be paid twice a
month without causing too much
trouble
Also the action would cut in half the
amount of money that would have to
come out of the 1884 appropriation for
1888 salaries.
If the employees were paid on June
80 for the entire month, the checks
would not be cleared until July and
would be charged against the depart
ment cash Withdrawals funds. By pay
ing twice in June only half of the
amount will be left to be paid out OF
the 1884 appropriation.
Department officials said If the
change did not cause too great an ex-
pense and too much trouble it would be
continued.

REICH DISAPPOINTED
BY HULL ADDRESS
German Press Scores American
Secretary for Not Revealing
Roosevelt Proposals.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 15.-The German
press was generally disappointed with
Secretary of State Hulls address yes
terday at the World Economic Confer
ence in London.
The Vossische Zeitung said the speech
could not have been more general and
more vague. The Boersen Courier as
serted that Mr. Hull confused the dele
gates because he revealed nothing OF
the Roosevelt proposals, which had been
anxiously awaited.
The add- was disappointing to
most listeners. in the view of the Nor
genpost, and Der Tag, owned by DR.. Al
fred Hugenberg, nationalist leader and
cabinet minister. said that no proposals
had been forthcoming from America.
The Tageblatt chided Mr.. Hull for
stressing tariff reductions, citing the
United States as land of high tariffs.
LAS the speeches of Chancellor of
the Exchequer Chamberlain and Secre-
tary of State Hull did not give the con-
ference the leadership so urgently
needed" the Voelkischer Beobachter,
Nazi organ, ignored them.

their action last December. his majesty's
government had hoped that the United
States Government would have been
able to accede to the request OF his
majeSty'S government to postpone pay
ment of the June installment pending
discussion of war debts as whole.
Since, however, this does not appear to
have been found possible, his majesty's
government are obliged to decide upon
their course of action.
Such a decision must in any case
be of an extremely difficult character
and in considering it his majesty's gov
eminent have felt their deep response
bility not only to their own people,
but to the whole world which is await
ing the deliberations and recommenda-
tions of the conference with the ut
most anxiety.
Fears Widespread Results.
THE conclusion at which his ma ajesty's
government have arrived is that pay
ment of the June installment could
not be made at this juncture without
gravely imperilling the success of the
conference and involving widespread
political consequences of a most serious
character
I'm their view the installment should
be considered and discussed as part of
the general subject of war debts upon
which they are anxious to resume con-
verSationS as soon as they can be ar
ranged
In the meantime, in order to make
1t perfectly clear that they do not re-
gard the suspension of the June pay
ment as in any way prejudicing an
ultimate settlement, his majestys gov
ernment propose to make an immediate
<,f
edgement of the debt pending a final
settlement.
IF, as they trust, the Government of
the United States is thereafter prepared
to enter formal negotiations for an
ultimate settlement of the whole war
debt question, his majesty's government
would gladly be informed of the time
and place at which the United States
Government would desire such nego-
tiations to be begun"

Britain, signed by Acting Secretary
Phillips and addressed to Sir Ronald

PARIS, June 15.-France's formal
default in the s4O,0o0,0O0 debt install
ment due today was cabled to Wash
ington this afternoon after Premier
Daladier had given an 18th hour re-
consideration to the whole problem.
The note Ambassador De Laboulaye
was asked to deliver to the American
administration. persons close to the
premier said, will pave the way toward
an ultimate settlement of the debts
problem by making it plain that France
recognizes her obligation but is forced
to defer" the s6O,OOO,O00 in principal
and interest including the instalment
due December IS.
1t was said that the note refers to
the Lausanne reparations agreement of
a year ago, indicating the hope for 80
per cent discount in the French debt
to America.
A miniature cabinet meeting was
conducted in London yesterday where
the debts situation was discussed and
reviewed IN Cne ugnI OF all pOSSlpu-
tiles. particularly as regards the British
token" payment, because it was feared
the French situation would become
worse as a result of the British action.
This final view was too late to stir
Parliament into action and, it was said,
further, the British negotiations will
serve to pull Frances chestnuts from
the fire.
The opinion was expressed that the
French are confident they will be
treated on the same basis as England
in subsequent negotiations between the
United States and Great Britain re-
gardless of the defaults which have
been laid to the door of the French

1t became apparent today that
American collections on the $144, 900, 900
war debt installments due would aggre-

The amounts to be collected either
announced or indicated were:
Great Britain, $1O,oOo,o 900; Italy about
81, 900 600; Czechoslavakia, 100000,
possibly less; Finland, s14S,592.
Definite defaults we're: France, s40,-
1888, 600; Belgium, ,325,oo0; Rumania,
81 ,ooo, 600; Poland, s3,559,ooo; Lith-
uania, s132,073.
Defaults were indicated by Yugo-
slavia, S275, 900, and Estonia, S284.322
The following were in doubt: Hun
gary, S28,260; Latvia, S118,961.
Thus, if collections were made from
all the countries still in doubt the
total will be less than $13,000,000. With
Yugoslavia and Estonia defaulting. az
is probable, the total would be Sl2,-
$4,000.

II believe it to be a step in the right
direction, because in these days of de-
preston 1t will relieve unemployment

There are those who say that the
amount Of employment which would be
given through modification is grossly
exaggerated by the so-called vets Let
us call your attention to the statement
given out by President Hoover when he
was advocating the passage Of the war

"He asserted that its passage would
effect saving in grain of approximately
3,l50,000 bushels per month, that Il
would release 100000 tons of coal,
that it would release 100000 freight
cars, that it would release $4,000, ,O0O
pounds of sugar used in the brewing
business and that It would release 3OO,-

If that statement was true then. 1t
Is equally true today"

lief that 1T means unlimited power to
