BRITAIN SORRY
SHE CAN'T PAY

N.SO.-America's form e
World War allies, to whom billions
were loaned by this country, today
sent the usual politely-phrased re-
gretS to the United States Govern
ment, saying they again found it
impossible to pay anything.
Although the European nations
have ben spending billions for
arms, they showed no inclination
today to resume payments on their
huge debts, which they stopped
after the Hoover moratorium
of 1882.
Chief among the debtors declin-
ing to pay was Great Britain,
whose war debt to the United
States totals approximately 5000
100000. Britain'S past due debt
amounted today to $1,000 DOC. 400,
and the current inStallment fall
ing due today was $122, 670,76
Not by so much as a comma did
Britain's note of polite regret vary
from previous notes.
A similar note of regret was eX-
Ipected from France who owes ap-
|proximately $4,000, 200, 900.

ICkes to Keep Post,
Urges Third Term

yelling their heads off" against
a third term for Franklin D.
r oSevelt, we're at one time
fiercely in favor of Theodore
Roosevelt for 9 third term.
Up to People
Secretary Ickes was asked
whether he had any objection to
a fourth or fifth or sixth term
and he declared that as long as
America has free expression at
the polls the people could decide
that for themselves. He declined
to say that President Roosevelt is
the only man in the Democratic
party who could be elected in 1910,
but he insisted that Roosevelt is
the only liberal who can be nomi-
mated. He declared that, when
1910 comes around, unless a strong
liberal movement prevails, it
would be quite possible to subject
the country to a campaign in
which two reactionaries were op-
posing each other, q situation
which he thinks liberals must
guard against.
Secretary Ickes, asked to give a
definition of liberal, replied:
"A liberal is a man who wants
to make the country a better
place to live in, one who Is not
satisfied with the status quo"

BOND SYSTEM

District prosecution authorities

Of tightening procedure governing

The decision was made late yes
terday after a conference in the
office of District Attorney David
A. Pine. The latter announced he
thought the present system is
functioning adequately and any
change at this time would be "un-
wise"
The spotlight was thrown on
the local bail bond system Monday
when 1t revealed George Miller,
who had been arrested on a
charge of carrying q deadly
weapon, had fled the city. Then
it developed Miller was an
escaped Ohio convict and also
was wanted in New York in con-

Barriers to a revision Of the
bond system are that it takes "a

Is not charged within six hours he
may be freed on a "six-hour no

DALADIER ASKS
RECORD BUDGET
FOR ARMAMENT.
82O Million Would Be
Largest Since War

PARIS. Dec. 15.-Confronted
with the danger of war, Premier
Daladier today asked for the
greatest French arms budget since
the World War, 10000, 900 900
francs about $3.50 100000
The bulk of this money will go
toward expanding the French
military and naval forces, and
constitutes a grave warning to
Germany and Italy.
STRONGER AIR FORCE
If Parliament passes the enor-
nous which calls for IS
per cent Of the estimated national
income for next year-the French
air force, admittedly much weaker
than those of Germany and Italy,
will be almost doubled.
Plans call for increasing the
number of officers by 1,347, and
1920 more enlisted men.
The land army would be in
creased and given newer and more
powerful guns, more motorized
equipment, and more fortified
tons would be constructed.
LARGER NAVY
The navy would also be in
creased under the plan, with a
goal of 100000 tons OF fighting
ships afloat by 1912.
This tremendous armament pro
gram is believed due to the in
creasing demands by Italy and
Germany for colonial possessions
now held by France.
Tonight Daladier will face an
acid test of his parliamentary
strength when the budget comes
UP for debate in the Chamber OF
Deputies. |
Observers, however, predicted
he would win out on the budget
question.

RetributiOn Feared

Fully aware that swift retribu-
ton would be melted out for fail
ure to pay their shares within the
first levy deadline, many Jews
turned everywhere during the last
week in order to make the pay
mentS.
They paid for the most part In
cash, while hundreds who were
unable to liQuidate enough assets
to meet the deadline were helped
by Weather friends and relatives.
The next payment, which is due
February is, can be paid in stocks,
securities and real estate.
Wealthy German Jews living
abroad with capital or property in
Germany will be permitted to use
the blocked mark account to meet
the inStallment.
Stocks Accepted
In many cases, authorities have
disregarded the rule that the first
payment must be made in cash,
accepting shares, bonds. and SINH
lar investments on the ground
that subsequent DEGREES have for.
hidden the Jews to sell their Sc
curitieS.
Scores Of Jews have been re-
leased from concentration camps
to enable them to lquidate their
assets.
Despite the regimented financial
and economic system Of the Reich,
the collection of the levy proved
that such forcible extraction Of
capital is more harmful than gain
full. It is taken for granted, never
theleSs, that the Nazis will con-
tinue their taking over Of Jewish
owned wealth. HEI
Emigration Is Aim +"
The process Of depositing the
former Jewish-oWned securities,
shares and bonds with accredited
German banks, in accordance with
the DEGREES of December 5, was
also completed today. These prop
critics can not be disposed Of with

Of Bishop Leonard

G.N.S0 The hope that a man
might replace Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins was expressed be-
fore the Dies committee today by
Bishop Adna w. Leonard, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
Pittsburgh.
Bishop Leonard added that this
man should be "a person of wide

craftsmanship of Secretary Of
State Hull in dealing with i'm
portant problems"
SUPPORTS PROBE
Bishop Leonard, urging continu-
alton of the Dies committee inves-
tigating un-American activities, de-
clared the American people must
guard against foreign "isms."
The clergyman charged that
false propaganda is flowing into
the United States from Russia,
Germany and Italy. He labelled
all three of these nations as
of democracy.
CENSUS FAVORED
He emphasized further expert
in legislation having in
it basic elements of foreign ma

He suggested that the Federal
Government list the names, record

the country, adding that support
of aliens on the WPA rolls added

Prof. Lynn Copeland, former

issue Mosle raised.
