Interrlew with the captain of the
government steamer Shlmushiru

Sown late yesterday by fog.
The .Lindberghs apparently still
hoped to continue their lnterrapt
d flight from Petropavlovsk,
Kamchatka, to Nemuro, today,
. but decided to . await . further
reather reports before taking off.
The Shlmnsblru Maru reported
it would stand by the plane.
The significance of the Inter
rlew was nos clear here since only
the fact the captain was question

Ochlishi wireless station.

Col. Lindbergh, before leaving
Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, early
esterday messaged the American

MATTERS
Negotiations, planned for Wed
nesday between representatives
of the city of Salem and P. W.
Leadbetfer relating to a new
source of water supply for the
.Oregon Pulp & Paper company
i here were postponed until today
iwhen Mr. Leadbetter . was ' not
i able to attend a conference ar
ranged earlier in the week for
yesterday -,
At the conference proposd for
today will be Chris Kowlts, alder
man who Is chairman of the
council's utilities committee. City
AttorneyTrindle and J. C. Baar,
engineer. -
The men wish to discuss with
Leadbetter the possibility of "in
cluding In the city's municipal
prater plans a source of supply
from the mountains which' would
afford water for the paper plant
here. A purer supply would be
provided, the city's officials, be
lieve. Leadbetter has previously
announced his interest in such a
tupply of water. The Oregon
Pulp & Paper company's daily
consumption of water is huge,
reaching as high as 14,000,000
gallons. This is more than double
' the amount used by Salem when
the demands of the city are at a
peak. .. -
Wall Street is
Backing Wiggin
Debts Proposal
NEW YORK, Aug. 19 (AP)-
Wall street bankers today ap
plauded the Wiggin report as the
most candid diagnosis of the In
ternational financial malady made
by any Important. International
body since business began to ail
late in 1929. -
Few were willing to discuss,
other than Informally, the rather
sensational proposals Including
revision of the entire plan of war
debt payments and remoral of
serious obstacles to international
trade but it was apparent that
.Wall street held no high' hopes of
early accomplishment of such
herculean tasks.

BASEL, Switzerland, Aug. 19
(AP) After startling the
world today with a declaration
advocating the revision of repara
tions and war debts, the Wiggin
committee of International bank
ers waited expectantly to see
what the Tnlted States and other
great powers are going to do
about it. r
Backed by the prestige of the
ten strongest banking groups in
the world, the Wiggin investigat
ors declared that to bring fall
and lrimediate relief to Germany
and other gravely distressed na
tions it would be essential to
make a new deal in the schedules
of International payments.
This eventually was frankly as
serted to be bound up with the
necessity of clearing; up the po
litical disputes of Germany and
her neighbors.
After an examination of Ger
many's financial situation, the
bankers put the question up to
the governments and called on
them for action.

the Chase National bank. New
