The American Government
faces q loss of nearly 500 million
dollars on the amount the Euro
pean debtor nations are due to
pay June Is.
Figures made available to the
State Department today by
Treasury experts disclosed the
debtor nations will be due to pay
a total of $478,S03,021 next
month. This includes the June
installments as well as the
amounts on which the debtors
defaulted or made only small
partial payments in the past.
Little Hope for Anything
Little hope was held here that
any of the nations except Finland
will make full or even substantial
payments June Is. Even If some
Of the debtors should make So
called token" payments, in line
with those in the past, the United
States still will be the loser by
more than $45Q,000,000.
With the johnson act auto
matically proclaiming debtors sub
ject to the penalties Of default
unless they make full payments,
belief prevailed that few, if any,
token payments would be made.
It still was considered possible
Great Britain might make token
payment despite the fact it would
not avoid the penalties of the
johnson act, closing the money
markets Of the United States 70
those nations which fail to meet
in full their obligations to this
Government.
The June installments total
$174,647 ,439 and the unpaid bal
ances total $304,155, $50, making q
grand total Of $478, 800, 021.

France will owe a total Of SAL

CLOTH TONE SLUGGISH

NEW YORK, April 4 I.N.S.).-A slug
gish tone again prevailed in the coarse
yarn cloths market today, although some
Improvement in the general feeling was
noted.
Inquiry was good, but unfortunately
from the mill point of view involved
goods wanted at less than full market
prices. The majority of mills took the
position that it was obvious that buy
ers need goods and that eventually they
must cover, and for this reason sellers
saw no need of meeting low prices.
AS result, although the volume Of
total sales for the day were of mod
crate proportions.
The chief outside news development
was the continuance of reports of wage
increases in various industries, and many
felt that the aggregate addition to pur-
chasing power resulting from such moves
was bound eventually to find substan-
tial reflection in cloth markets.

10 long to get around to this one.

Camera and Max Baer would be
in a HI of a fix.
Gleefhlly Testifies
It has been only a matter of a
few days since Max Baer, the
challenger, gleefully testified be-
fore a California court that he
didn't have a dime to his name.
And when Carnera heard that
Baer was talking about dimes, he
was overheard to mutter:
'"The Lucky stiff"
AS for Carnera, the champion,
he has been in bankruptcy court
so often the last couple of years
that the last time he was called
he took his golf clubs along.
Thus while the referee in bank
ruptcy was again tolling the fatal

It is not surprising that Baer's
financial situation is such that
the most expert group Of &C.
countants in the world probably
couldn't make head nor tail of it.
For several years it has been the
Livermore Lothario's custom to

Back when he was just setting
forth on the primrose path, he
would dash into a bank, or a

quest:

This always looked, on the face
Of it, to be a fair proposition, if
only from a sporting standpoint.

tfore he had gone far that Baer
had glibly signed away more 10

possibly exist.
The case of Camera is differ

Agitated Alp has made and lost
two ordinary fortunes. Or rather
he has made 'em and somebody
else has lost 'em, and instead Of
getting better my inside men re-

worse.

days of the seething Silver Slip
per, when he was the host OF
Broadway and liberal, generous
host to boot.
For all Of which, I cannot help
but feel that Cameras affairs
continue to be in a sad muddle,
and on reasonably good authority
I am told that he is an exceed
ingly unhappy large young man.
Which is perhaps none Of my
business, but interesting in view
of the impending contest for the
heavyweight title.
Largely because he couldn't be
annoyed with training, the cham
pion trained carelessly and hap
hazardly for his bout with Lough-
ran in Florida. It showed in the
ring, too.
Can He Do It?
I'm wondering if he can get
away with the same sort Of care
less preparation and still stand a
ghost of show with Baer? I am
also wondering if his handlers are
foolish enough to think he can?
They tell me now that he is
going up into the Maine woods to
do some early training with an ak.
A sound idea. And one thing GER
tain, he won't cut his income any.
All of which, come to think of
it, will make marvellous ballyhoo
for the fight. Furthermore, there
is one thing the experts will not
be able to say in summing up
their briefs on the bout. They will
not be able to say that either of
the boys is rich, secure, and con-
tent and has, therefore, lost his
keen edge for battle and his ambi-
ton. Not this pair.
If you chance to note one of
'em whispering to the other in the
clinches, he'll probably be saying:

Hog receipts were 10000 today,

The supply Of cattle was 5000.
The market was slow, but prices
we're considered steady to strong
