Chamberlain Also States
England Expects No Money
From Debtors.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. April 17.-Neville Cham
berlain, chancellor of the exchequer
declared to the House of Commons
today that he did not propose to
make any provision for the payments
of war debts to America or the re-
ceipts of war debts from Great Brit
aims debtors.
His statement was made in the
midst of speech in which he said
Great Britain now had ''regained its
place as the first exporting country
of the world"
S2OO,00O,O0o Surplus.
He told his listeners, who cheered
him repeatedly, that the past fiscal
year had shown a profit of f39, 900 900
or about 100000, ,000-and that
"the atmosphere is distinctly
brighter"
He listed sources of revenue in
proposing his budget for the year
1934-35, and said that in the year
past the beer tax had produced
f5, ,O00,0 900 more than expected. but
that there had been a deficit in
the revenues from tea and sugar
Groans followed cheers with this an
nouncement.
Chamberlain estimated that the to-
tai ordinary expenditure of the gov
ernment during 1933-34 was 1898, ,000,-
OOO-or $3,490, ,000, 900.
The House was packed as its mem
bers and spectators listened to the
fiscal proposals for 1934-35.
Chamberlain said the decrease in
unemployment had reduced the pay
ments to those without work by s..
300,000-or $16,500,000.
Death Duties Higher.
Death duties in the past year. said
Chamberlain, included the largest
payment ever to come from a single
estate in the whole history of this tax.
This was the 100000 from the es-
tate of Sir John Ellerman, former
newspaper publisher, who died July
II, 1888, at Dieppe, France.
The chancellor's statement on the
war debts was applauded. 1t was:
Neither last year nor the year be-
fore did make any provision for the
payment of the war debt to America
nor for the receipt of war debts or
reparations by ourselves. In the abb
sence of any further development, I
propose to follow precisely the same
line this year."

The Cord company, it was shown in
other correspondence, was seeking
to have airman routes thrown open
for competitive bidding and was not
trying to make deal for any con-
tract.
Previously Black had turned down
the request of Senator Austin, Re-
publican, of Vermont, to summon the
stenographer who sat in on the in
terview between Col. Charles A.
Assistant Attorney General. while the
famed flyer was here several weeks
ago.
Reports got about that Lindbergh
had been ''grilled." Ristine denied
them.
Black indicated, however, he would
put up to the committee later whether
to summon the stenographer. He told
Austin several other witnesses were

would do nothing for the present.

The draft contains a statement

that China's contacts with other
powers shall not be of such a nature
as to jeopardize that peace.

aid China take the form of 1.-The
supplying Of military airplanes, the
establishment of airdromes, the fur

The spokesman declined to state
how this would be applicable to the
sales by American manufacturers of
airplanes to China, participation by
American companies in the establish

States Governments cotton and wheat
loan to China, and the employment
of American aviation instructors by
