PRICE TEN CENT'S
GOVERNOR WILL BE DINNER
GUEST OF THE NATIONAL
PRESS CLUB
WASHINGTON. Nov., 18,—Presi
dent Hoover has not surrendered
control of foreign problems nor
does he intend to, in sis comi n g
informal conference with his suc
cessor in the White House, Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. The debt
payment solution will rest entirely
in his hands and to his judgment
until March 4.
Over in France moral indignation
is high against the asserted atti
tude of the United States based on
the report that America will refuse
to extend further war debt mora
toriums- However, France says if
the United States insists, the De
cember payment will be made. But
if it is, it is more than likely that
Premier Herriot will be overthrown.
The indignation of France is com
parable to that of American citi
zens who wonder why so much fuss
about just debts.
PROFESSOR MORLEY
Italy has joined with England,
France and Belgium in asking Am
erica for a postponement of their
$7,000,000 war debt instalment due
December 15, it was reported in of
ficial circles. The delay to date in
officially presenting such a note
has been for the reason, it was said,
that Italy wanted to see what the
reaction would be to England’s and
France’s request.
President-elect F. D. Roosevelt
will arrive at Washington, D. C.,
from Albany about 3:30 p. m. Tues
day for his parley with President
Hoover on major national and in
ternational problems.
He will be accompanied by Pres
ident Raymond Moley of Columbia
University.

elect will be the guest of honor of
