FRANCE MOVES
MIEWFORU.S.
DEBTHOLIDAY
PARIS, May 9 (I.N.S.).—New
negotiations were launched by
the French government today
With regard to her foreign debt
to the United States.
Meeting in special session, the
council of ministers instructed
Andre de la Boulaye, French
ambassador in Washington, to
obtain detailed information from
the American State Department
Concerning prospects o a mora
torium on the payment due
June 15
“Curing” Default, Issue
The nature of this informa
tion, it was understood, will decide
whether France is to pay up the
$19.000,C00 interest installment on
which she defaulted December
15, last.
At present, the government
Stands firm against “curing” the
default, but remains hopeful
that in one manner or another
President Roosevelt will effect a
moratorium on the June 15 pay
ment.
This hope persists despite the
President’s flat statement he ex
pects the payment', to be made.
Scout “Last Word”
Should President Roosevelt in
dicate his intention of seeking
congressional authority to accord
a moratorium on the June pay
ment, Premier Edouard Daladier
would feel he had sufficient
grounds to go before the Cham
ber of Deputies and ask authori
sation to cure last December’s
default.
The premier feels, however,
that any such action would be
futile until Mr. Roosevelt af
fords a clearer conception of
America’s position. The French
are loath to believe that his
statement that he expects the pay
ments to be made comprises his
last word on the subject.
‘Good-Will Envoy’
Installed in Hotel
Something unique in the hotel
industry has been installed in the
new Willard by H. P. Somerville,
managing director.
The innovation is an “ambassa
dor of good will” in the person
of Charles P. Light, until re
cently connected with the E. H.
Harriman Company, and for
years well known in social and
business circles here.
China Protests Sale

NANKING, China, May 9
(I.N.S.).—The Chinese govern
ment objected flatly today to the
proposed sale of the Chinese East
ern Railroad to Japan by Soviet
Russia. The foreign office in
formed the Soviet ambassador
that discussion of the proposed
■ale was impossible.

W.C.T.U. JOINS
BEER FITTEST
Shades of the White Ribbon!
The W. C. T. U. is going to assign
members to drink beer.
Miss Charlotte Mayo, Wash
ington debutante, recently started
drinking beer to determine if it
really adds weight.
The W. C. T. U„ which had
already announced that one of
the grave dangers of the return
of beer was that it would make
the American woman fat, feared
that this test might not be favor
able to their propaganda.
The National Daily
NAVAL PLANES RULED SAFE
Although Navy and Commerce
safety standards differ in some
respects, opinion at Commerce
Department today was that Navy
planes are as safe as commercial
planes and that some are built
to stand much greater strains
than airplanes engaged in freight
and passenger traffic.
The comment was inspired by
reports that Navy planes at
Anacostia, irtcluding one reserved
for President Roosevelt, do not
conform to Commerce Department
safety standards.
It was explained that the Com
merce and Navy departments
make their rules independently
with respect to planes and that
TUESDAY—MAY 9—1933
the different functions required
of planes largely determine their
standards. Pursuit and bombing
planes, It was said, call for:
ability to undergo strains that
would probably never be required
of commercial planes.
The safety factors in each
instance, it was said, were
adequate for the type of work!
to be performed.
