WAY LEFT OPEN
FOR FOREIGN
DEBTORS
Substantial Payments Likely
to Give Them Access to
U. S. Money MartS
BY international News Service

Uncle Sam today gave the
European debtor nations definite
indications that If they stepped
up to the paying teller's window
with a substantial sum, more in
line with their capacity than
their desire to pay, means might
be found to exempt them from
the penalties Of default.
Farley BluntIy Rejected
This olive branch was extended
by President, Roosevelt at the
same time as he bluntly rejected
an informal British suggestion
for a general conference to seek
drastic downward revision OF Eu-
ropes debts to the United
The President intimated at his
press conference that If the
debtors offered a substantial pay
ment instead of tokens" ways
might be found to exempt them
from the penalties of the johnson
act closing the money markets OF
the United States to the debt
defaulting governments.
He said the question Of exempt
ing them depended entirely on
what proposition they might make
in the way of meeting the $175,-
100000 due this Government the
middle of next month.
Must Come Separately
He made it definitely clear that
if the debtors wish to make any
offer they must come separately.
The feeling prevails here that if
the United States agreed to re-
ceive the debtors collectively, they
would attempt to gang" this
country into acquiescence to either
outright cancellation or drastic
reduction of the IL billion dollars
owed the American taxpayers.
Although the way was conSid-
cred left open for the debtor ma
tions to avoid default by subStan-
tial payments, there we're no indi-
cations any of them intended to
take advantage of this offer.
In fact, the diplomatic repre-.
sentatives of the debtor nations
here privately expressed the view
that their governments would not
offer anything more than token
payments unless the sums were
considered part of a new settle
ment on a drastically reduced
basis.

LAW LAID DOWN
To MERCHANTS

Laying down the law to Wash

Goldsmith, chairman of the retail
code authority for the District, an
nounced today that claims of re-
tailers that mo down payment"
is necessary, if such a payment is
disguised as a deposit or service
charge, is considered an unfair
practice under the NRA.
Other regulations announced by
Mr.. Goldsmith were that it is un.
fair to advertise direct from man
ufacturer to consumer" unless the
statement is true of all the goods
referred to in the advertisement,
and that it is unfair to advertise
removal sales" or bankrupt
sales" when, in fact, the merchant
does not intend to move and is
not bankrupt.
Merchants who advertise a
"going-out-of-business sale" and
then add new merchandise to
their stock will be considered code
violatorS, Mr.. Goldsmith stated.
