RUSSIAN Debt
FARLEY FAILS
u. S. Terms Are Refused by
Soviet Union; Trade
Bubble Bursts.

bV 4 tMfa = pttiut
WASHINGTON, Feb. Admin
istration officials aWoke today to the
realization that il diplomatic rela-
tons with Soviet Russia they fig
uratively had a bear by the tail,
with little IN prospect except a good
run around.
Hopes for an early settlement of
the long pending debts and claims
issue with Russia were dashed by
sudden collapse of negotiations last
night. With this collapse the bub-
bic of lucrative trade with Soviet
Russia also burst. Both the Ameri-
can Government and private indus
try had counted heavily on eXpan-
sion Of trade with the SOvietS to
hasten economic recovery in this
country.
These hopes played an important
part in the decision of President
to accord diplomatic recog-
milton to the Soviet government in
1888. In announcing
that decision the President EXPRESSLY
stated it was understood an early
settlement of debts and claims ques-
ton would De arranged and Soviet
trade expanded.
The negotiations collapsed at
five minute conference between Sec
rotary Cordell Hull and the Soviet
Ambassador, Alexander Troyanov-
sky. The envoy, just returned from
Moscow, brought the Soviet govern
ment's rejection to the latest Amer
lean proposal for settlement Of the
debts and claims.
This offer, Mr.. Hull said in a
formal statement. constituted The
limit to which we believed we could
go without complete sacrifice of the
interests of American claimants and
without unduly pledging the credit
of our government for the purpose
of facilitating trade between the
United States and the Soviet Union.

SUPREME COURT
is EXPECTED TO
0. K. GOLD ACT
World Awaits Decision on
New Deal Policy, Due
Monday.
ByUnifed Pre~

By United Press
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-Confl-
dence that the Supreme Court Will
support the New Deal gold policy
seemed today to dominate specula-
ton over the momentous decision on
dollar devaluation expected from
the court next Monday.
American and foreign securities
markets, the fortunes of men and
women here an dabroad and the de-
velopment OF New Deal policies viii
be fundamentally affected by the
courts rule.
The question before the court is
whether Congress acted within the
Constitution IN deyaluing the dollar
and abTogatlng the clause IN con-
tracts calling Tor interest payment
IN gold OF former standard hneness.
Markets Reflect Situation
The courts answer to the ques-
tons presented in the cases. affect
ing directly 500 900 100000 gold
clause debts and indirectly all the
nation, is a secret locked in the
minds of the nine jurists. For all
the definite information available
they may not have reached their de-
cisiOn.
Those familiar with recent activ-
ity Of the court are convinced, how
ever, that every effort is being made
10 render an early verdict.
The jUrists have held no confer
ences during their two week recess.
Tomorrow they will meet TO pass on
new cases that have come into the
court but It is doubtful whether
they VIII prepare any final de-
CisiOns.
In the meantime, speculative mar
kets Of all the world have reflected
the situation. To large extent
they have reflected the feeling Of
lay observers IN the capital.
Favorable Verdict Expected
When the cases, involving both
private and public obligations bear
ing the gold clause, came up little
apprehension was felt. The court
was generally expected TO uphold
the legislation which outlaWed the
gold clause.
As argument proceeded this atti-
tude changed. Conservative men,
berS Of the court started peppering
government lawyers with probing
questions. The answers were hest
tant. Observers unfamiliar with the
courts procedure were thrown into
CONSERVATION.
Opinion in the capital now looks
to a decision unfolding the abroga-
ton of the gold clauses.
