mental debt problem served to keep the Issue open.
 rt appeared that tho United States will collect only tho S26i,- 900 from Finland out of the ap- proximateiy si7b,000,000 --- not in- including arrears due from l3 foreign debtor governments on Juno i6. The British note wns rec garded as paving the way for gen eral default.
 Britain based her forthcominv default on the Johnson act which makes 1t n crime to buy or sell in this country the securities or bonds of any defaulting government,
 official interpretation of tho Johnson act ruled that payment oi a token" hereafter wiuld not ox- ease the token paying government from tho default stigma.
 In the note Britain carefully overlooked the statements of both President Roosevelt and members of congress that past token pay ments would guarantee tho token payers from being considered ir default on those installments. The British note was in answer 10 . formal bill In which nll the sums due were itemixed. The total wat more than $261, 100000.
 Britain in her answering note used this figure throughout, rather than the figure of $s5. 1000 duo on June 15. The British note took the position that the whole $26l.- 100000 must be paid, IL then argued that the transfer of such Il huRe sum would "throw n bomb. shell into the European arena which would have financial and economic representations over all five continents and would postpone Indefinitely the chances of world recovery"
 The note emphasized Britain does not propose to repudiate hei debt obligations. but is merely ''suspending further payments un' til it becomes possible to discuss an ultimate settlement Of inter governmental war debt with req sonabie prospect of agreement"

By WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Stan Correspondent THOSE who have seen 1 Madeline Force Astor Dick Fiermonte on the beach at Bermuda say it is impossible to believe that she is a ma tron of 40 and the mother of three grown sons.
 And that youthfulness of appear ance is matched by . youthfulness of mind and spirit which have en- abled her at 70 to try marriage with Q man i6 years her junior.
 He is Enxo Fiormonte, Italian boxer, who had benn instructing Mrs Dicks sons In tho manly art.
 But Mrs Fiermonte knows what she is doing. For she has seen tho problem work out successfully: helped work it out, in fact. She was herself debutante when she married the famous Colonel John Jacob Astor, a man almost old enough to be her father.
 This marriage was highly sue cessful until the heroic death of Colonel Astor in the Titatnic dis aster, when he helped place his youngn wife in a lifeboat and then stepped back among tho other men Co drown.

Remington Strike

MiddIetOWn, COnH,, June - (UP)-The Remington Noiseiess Typewriter Co.,, affiliate Of Heming. ton Rand. Inc, opened its doors to- day after q three-weeks shutdown but comparatively few of the l,700 strikers returned to work.
 Union officials claimed only 76 returned to their jobs. Police Chief Charles Anderson estimated 200 took advantage of the cOmpany's offer to go back without settlement of the demands for recognition of the Machinists' Union.
 Several thousand were at hand when the plant opened but there was no trouble. Picketing was or derly and both local and state DO. lice patrolled the grounds.
 c. K. Rowland. plant manager said he was unaware that any move had been made for further conferences and issued q statement late yesterday announcing the opening Of the factory. Copies were sent to employees through the malls.
 Union officials claimed the com. pany violated an agreement to give 24.hours notice of rcopening. Plant officials made no further statements.
 IliOn, N. Y., June 5-(UP = Less than 20 employees returned to their jobs today at the Remington Rand Typewriter plant. About B. 900 other striking workers stood outside and cheered.
 The plant had been closed sev- eral week after employees went on strike because employers alIegedly refused to include the word "union' in their agreement under the na. tional recovery act.
 Although there was no disorder. state troopers were held in reserve. Local police were stationed near the plant.
 Nearly 100 office workers. mostly women, who went on strike in sym. pathy with the plant employees. also returned to work.
 Of the 14 who returned. several were tool makers.
 The men who remained on strike withdrew to q nearby park after reopening of the plant to map action. It was considered likely that at least some of the strikers would return to their posts soon.

FASTER PACE DUE
AT STEEL PLANTS
Industry Expected TO Show Addi-
tional Increase After Five-Point
Rise Last Week.

0y the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, January 22.-Steel op-
erations, after making flve-point ad-
vance to a IS per cent level last week,
are expected to add to the gain this
week the magazine Steel says.
Increasing support from automotive
and general consumer requirements are
given as the reason.
Seldom has there been such una
nimity of opinion as exists now respect
ing the upward trend Of business" the
magazine says. Confidence on the part
of consumers is being transmitted to
producers A higher volume of buying
is noted in practically all districts"
The survey found automotive require
ments for steel breaking through the
entanglements incident to changes in
models to become the first of the i'm
portant deferred classifcations to &C
celerate finishing mill operations. Re-
lease orders from the automotive trade,
Steel says. have lifted some Northern
Ohio sheet mill schedules nearly to
capacity"
dearth of newtorders for steel rails
was noted, also falloff in structural
steel awards. "Fabricators, however,
express no apprehension, but expect to
be buster in February than at any time
In three years" the magazine says.
The report further says: Raw ma
terials are strong, except beehive fur
mace coke. which is down 25 cents q
ton. Steels scrap composite is up SO
cents to $1167, this rise being the
largest Of any in the seven consecutive
weeks of the upward trend.
