In which Secretary Stimson, Canadian Minister James Grafton Rogers, assistant secretary of state in charge of the SL Lawrence plan, and John Htcker-son- , the deparements expert on Canadian affairs, were especially active. An Interesting incident was the offer of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt to go to Washington and help President Hoover in expediting the negotiations.

The sentiment In Washington Is absolutely against cancellation. That, in a nutshell.

And If Americas decision is adverse to such reduction, the Lausanne treaty becomes of no effect and the reparations situation reverts to its former status under the Young settlement. The German government declared Germany had nothing whatever to do with the gentlemens agreement. Churchill vigorously attacked the whole proceedings at Lausanne. He said that, from his knowledge of public opinion in America, he believed no more unfortunate approach toward debt cancellation could have been made. Prime Minister MacDonald and Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain both replied to the attacks of Churchill and others. The latter said: 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 must consider what we ar going to 3,000,-00,00- 0. hid thr.ee sons' up . e, pro-- . with the New England coast and bearing a figurative olive branch at the masthead, for he was in Al Smith waters.

Twice they were given 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. Senator Binghams beer bill was burled in committee, and later Senator Sheppard of Texas prevented consideration of a resolution offered by Bingham instructing the surgeon general of the United States to poll leading physicians and physiologists as to their opinion of what constituted an Intoxicating beverage.
