MARK is UNFLURRIED
BY FOREIGN REPORTS
Berlin Financial Circles Claim
Concern Is Inspired by Spec

BERLIN, June l3-The German
mark, unflurried by the latest con-
lecture as to its future, gave no in
dication here today Of any surrender
of its admittedly enigmatic strength.
Berlin financial circles continued
skeptical over reports emanating
from Amsterdam that devaluation of
the mark, possibly up to 40 per cent,
will be in order within a short time.
Renewed speculation was provided,
however, by announcemnt that the
Central Committee of the Reichsbank
would meet tomorrow to hear q
formal report on the recent debts
transfer conference.
Prevailing opinion here is that the
present great concern over German
finance is inspired by large specula-
tive interests which have been deal
ing in the mark
Business men in countries outside
the clearing arrangement, it was
charged here, have been selling to
Germany by clearing their sales
through privileged banks with specu-
lators proflting on the complicated
purchase and sale of German scrip

ITALY MAY CHANGE STAND.
Mussolini's Absence Prevents Official
Statement

ROME. June 13 (P.-Italy's atti-
tude toward its debt to the United
States-up to now apparently firm
determination to pay nothing-may
be changed materially by Secretary
of State Hulls suggestion to Great
Britain that payment might be made
partially IN goods, it was said in we'll
informed circles today.
The absence of Premier Mussolini
precluded any possibility of official
comment, however.
1t was understood that Fulvio
Suvich, undersecretary for foreign
affairs, and finance ministry officials
would meet this afternoon to put the
finishing touches on an official COM
munique concerning the Italian debt
memorandum. The memorandum al
ready has been prepared by Mussolini
for presentation to the American
State Department by Ambassador
Augusta Rosso.
Press comment for several days has
been preparing the italian public for
non payment of the debt quota due
Thursday. Summed up, this COM
ment reaches the conclusion it is
best to pay nothing, not even token
payment, because is is felt applica-
ton of the johnson law of the United
States will place token payers and
non-payers IN the same category.

In a statement containing his resig-

Meanwhile. the Darrow Board
which yesterday delivered a second
heavy shot at N. r. A. and its policies
was engaged in working up a third

The Recovery Board members in
dicated an expectation of taking their

There was no definite assurance, how

sidered their work undone.

BRITAIN STUNNING
SUGGESTED DEBT
PAYMENT IN KIND
Complication of Situation
Is Feared in London
Political Circles.
PROPOSAL INTERESTS

Paris Hopes Offer Extended to
England Will Be Repeated
to France by Hull.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June l3,-Great Britain
does not intend to make war debts
payment "in kind" as suggested in
an American note yesterday, it was
indicated today in authoritative poll
tical circles.
Great Britain. it was understood,
believes payment in goods would only
complicate the situation.
Much surprise was created in Lon
don by the reference of Cordell Hull,
American Secretary of State, to pay
ments in kind, as the United States,
heretofore has insisted on dollar pay
ments.
Cabinet Studies Situation.
Official quarters at Downing street
were silent while the cabinet took a
full opportunity to study the situation
before the governments attitude is
stated to parliament, probably tomor-
row
British political circles feel there
has been some Misrepresentation in
Washington in regard to the section
of the recent British note referring
to the debts European countries owe
England.
The British note merely said. it was
pointed out, that if Great Britain
resumed payment to the United States
she would be forced to call upon her
debtors to pay her and this in turn
would create another world economic
crisis. She did not mean, it was held.
that the two categories of debts
amount to one transaction.
U. S. Initiative Awaited.
Americas suggestion for initiative
from the debtor finds no response
here, so far as the situation has been
studied.
Should the theory of payment in
kind finally be found practical for
consideration, the British view still
is that initiative from Washington
would be necessary for a conference
needed to deal with such a settlement.
The view held IN political quarters
here, summed up, is that Great Brit
ain is not in a position to pay war
debts either in kind or in any other
way.
AS for the continent, there were
no indications of a change of policy
by Belgium. The Belgian Ambassa-
dor made that clear in Washington
yesterday, as did Czechoslovakia's

STOP-GAP LABOR
MEASURE RUSHED
Wagner Bill Substitute Ex-

House ParIey.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Legislation to avert crippling steel
strike was being whipped into shape
today.
The final form of the bill was ex-
pected to be decided upon at White
House conference. Secretary of Labor
Perkins and N. R. A. chiefs as well
as congressional leaders planned to
attend.
Additional powers for the National
Labor Board are the keynote of the
new measure, a stop-gap substitute
for the Wagner labor disputes bill.
Parts of the latter to which industry
objected most strongly are expected
to be dropped.
The plan apparently Is to have the
Labor Board step into the breach in
the steel industry when the bill is
passed. Leaders in the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, Threatening general strike,
have supported the Wagner bill and
have sought direct action by Presi-
dent Roosevelt toward settlement.
Bill to Be Rushed.
Leaders in Congress expected to
rush the new bill through this week,
hoping Congress could adjourn Sat
urday.
After a conference with President
Roosevelt yesterday, Senator Robin
son, majority leader, said final de-
cision on the labor legislation was
deferred pending the gathering of
more information. He promised a
definite announcement today
"It is recognized" he told reporters,
that there Is a general, almost uni
versal desire that the Congress ad-

FOES OF TUGWELL
MAKELAST STAND

Confirmed After Brief
Fight.

TO LEAD ASSAILANTS

BY the Associated Press.
The -Tugwell men rallied for
their last stand in the Senate today.
After one last burst of fireworks.
Democrat leaders predicted, DR.. Rex
ford Guy Tugwell's promotion from
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture to
Undersecretary would go through with
ease.
The margin of victory, however, was
believed likely to be bit smaller
than yesterdays, when the Agriculture
Committee approved him, 16 to 2.
Senator Smith, Democrat, OF South
Carolina, who complains that Tugwell
is not a dirt farmer, and Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, who ex-
presses mistrust of his economic ideas,
were expected to lead the opposition
again.
Tugwelrs emphatic declarations
Monday that he opposed Communism
and was an enthusiastic supporter of
American governmental institutions,
however, changed the plans of some
of his foes.
May Lambast New Deal.
Several Republicans-hoping for
Democratic support-had planned to
make the issue Tugwell's theories and
views and to avoid any general as
sault upon administration policies.
Some of them said yesterday Tug

uation and they might lambast the
new deal"
The two Democrats who criticized
Tugwell Monday-Bailey of North
Carolina and Byrd-apparently were
unconvinced by the nominees re-
peated declarations that he was un-
qualif1edly opposed to the Russian, or
similar systems of government which
call for rigid economic planning.
"Tugwen made a splendid impress
sion Monday" Senator Bankhead,
member. said after the committee
vote. II think his frank statements
caused several who we're in doubt to
vote for him"
Made Error in Writing Book.
"As I see it," said Senator Murphy,
Democrat, of Iowa, who clashed fire.
quently with Senator Smith over the
latters assaults on the nominee, Tug
wells mistake was that he wrote
book.
Apparently some people consider
that dangerous to American institu-
tions. You know Job once said: o,
that mine enemy would write a
book"
Senator Schall. Republican, Of Min
nesota, said in the Senate yesterday
that Tugwell was unfit to hold a re-
sponsible public Office where he may
foment domestic strife, poison the
American mind with old world false
doctrines. and undermine the Con-
stitution and the cause of American
liberty"
Wants Office Discarded.
Schall said he saw no reason why
there should be an office of Under
secretary of Agriculture and that the
Senate Agriculture Committee should
take steps to rescind the vote Great
ing the Office.
The Office of undersecretary, Schall
said, was created without debate and
'by subterfuge."
I'VE do not want Tugwell's ration
ale,' nor its internationale,'" he said.
I'VE are Americans and hold to that
document which begins: We the peo-
pie of the United States"
