The sentiment in Washington is absolutely against cancellation, That, In a nutshell, is the status concerning the pact signed at Lau sanne by the European powers where by Germany Is to be relieved of all obligations In the way ®f reparations on payment of a lump sum of 3.000, 000.000 gold marks—about $714,000. 000, At the same time that they initialed this agreement the repre sentatives of Germany's chief cred ftors signed a secret “gentlemen's pact” that their respective parlia- ments would not ratify the treaty un. til the United States had reconsid. ered the question of reducing the debts due her from Europe. And if America’s decision is adverse to such reduction, the Lausanne treaty be comes of no effect and the repara tions situation reverts to Its former status under the Young settlement. The German government declared Germany had nothing whatever to do with the gentlemen's agreement. Churchill vigorously attacked the whole proceedings at Lausanne. He sald that, from his knowledge of pub. lic opinion In America, he believed “no more unfortunate approach to ward debt cancellation could have been made. Prime Minister MacDonald and Chancellor of the Exchequer Cham beriain both replied to the attacks of Churchill and others. The latter sald: “We are still ready to cancel all debts due us If the United States should decide to cancel all debts due her, our offer Is still open, If America still feels she must ask us to pay more than we have received, we wust consider what we are going to States n such Winston Churchill " do. Before we know what America will propose to do In the mailer it would be anreasonable for us to con- gent to cancel the debts of our Euro- pean allies.” Though the Lausanne agreement reduces Germany's liabilities In the way of reparations to about one per cent, It does not remove from Ger many the stigma of having been sole- ly to blame for the World war. There fore it is rejected by Hitler's Nazis and is distasteful to the Nationalists, Hitler declared that the new treaty “will not be worth three marks within six months" The German cabinet approved Chancellor Von Papen’s ac- tion in signing the treaty.

Twice they were givén the opportunity to vote for immediate legalization of beer, In accordance with their national party platform, and twice they refused. Their intention, now achieved, was to put off the test until after the November election. Their excuse was that they should not be called on to vote on the proposition until an authoritative definition of an intoxicant could be obtained. Senn tor Bingham's beer bill was buried In committee, and later Senator Shep pard of Texas prevented consideration of a resolution offered by Bingham in- structing the surgeon general of the United States to poll leading phy- sicians and physiologists as to their opinion of what constituted an intoxi- cating beverage. Ashurst of Arizona then took a hand. “The senator from Connecticut,” he chided, "has been attempting to do what he called “test the sincerity of the Democratic senators.’ Never did he apply a true test, Let me tell him how. Let him Introduce a joint reso lution proposing to amend the Consti- tution by abolishing the Eighteenth amendment and let the roll be ealled. There will be no attempt on the part of the Democratic senators to avold their platform.” Whereupon the wily Bingham imme diately produced just such a resolu tion and asked unanimous consent to eall it up for action. Senators Robin. son and Watson, minority and ma jority leaders, agreed this was not the proper occasion for such a measure, 80 the resolution remained on the table, N MOTION of Senator Couzens of Michigan, the senate appointed u committee of five senators to investi. gate loans by the Reconstruction Fi- nance corporation, The inquiry will be conducted in secret and a report will not be made until next January. Administration senators threw their support to the Couzens plan to head off a resolution by Senator Norris of Nebraska for immediate publicity of all loans. Critical references were made dur- ing the debate by Senators Couzens and Norris to an $80,000,000 loan by the corporation to what was called “the Dawes bank” in Chicago.
