The President's Big News We Are' Getting All the finlrl MW1MI h Copyright King Feature Syr 4nc. .WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20 It is hot, in this beautiful city, official temperature ninety six at one p. ra., ninety eight at two o'clock,-and the tempera ture going iup. - . . President Hoover is in town, too busy to get away for the week end, and all of his work ing household is obliged to stay and work with him. Ask them if they have been working since President Hoover came in, and tliey say "yes" . unanimously. M The stories have pictures of "father" sitting back with a gold crown on his head. Fath er's day comes tomorrow. Here, father has his coat off, his col lar loose, and does not care whether son and daughter give ifim sox, ties, cigars or a hat. He would like to have son and daughter listen to his advice, just this one day as though they thought he knew something. But that is asking a great deal, in these days. . ' , ; Washington, like all the rest of the world, is deeply inter ested in President Hoover's in tention that something is to be done, financially, of great im portance, along the lines of stimulating Kvorld prosperity, including our prosperity, and ( preventing any doeper depres sion. Europe's, big cities and their newspapers and ' public men have discussed the an- I nouncemcnt all day. ": Wall Street responded to the news as enthusiastically as a small boy at the mention of Christmas. Stocks went up, without waiting for details. No one knew' what the plans were, but it was generally understood that they would help world business. That was enough There is no doubt that this country, like a wise storekeep er, interested in cnstbmer-wel-fare, should do all it can, legi timately, to help tra'de condi tions throughout the world. A merchant cannot prosper with his customers bankrupt. Uncle Sam cannot prosper, with the rest of the world flat on its back. It is believed, President Hoover feels that Germany must have relief from the pres ent crushing burden of repara tions. The Germans -cannot forever go on buying hundreds of millions of foreign currency, to pay her war fines.

Favor Proposal Believe France Kindly Disposed to Debt Holiday WASHINGTON, June 22 (AP) It was said on-the high- f est authority tonight that Presl- I dent Hoover's proposal for one year's suspension of war debts and reparations payments were designed to include the uncon ditional annuities paid by Ger many. BERLIN, Juno 22. (JP) Chan cellor Bruening today character ized President Hoover's war- debt plan as "an historic event of the greatest significance" and express- I ed the German nation's thanks to J the United States. . The chancellor's comment came in a discussion with a small group j president's proposal that war debts and reparation payments be post poned for one year, . WASHINGTON, June 22 (JP) Secretary Stimson said today an international conference was out of the question if President Hoov er's debt moratorium proposal was to havo the desired effect. The secretary said speedy ac ceptance of the proposal by Ger many's creditor nations was neces sary if it were to have the desired effect and there was not time for an international discussion of tlio proposed one year moratorium. He added that all interested na tions had been informed through diplomatic channels of the presi dent's proposal. WASHINGTON, June 22 () Upon France's response, more than, any other one tiling, rests the fu ture of America's offer for a one year holiday from war debt and re parations. -payments. , . . i j Great Hrttoin is sympathetic to ward the plan; Germany is appre ciative; republican and democratic party leaders forecast that the next American Congress will pass the necessary legislation; world-wide ( reaction, for the most part, is fav- orable. So, diplomatic circles in Washington believe, responsibility for the next step is with France. France May Favor I President Hoover has reason to ' think the French attitude will bo1 favorable. Secretary Mellon, now I in England, has conferred inform- : ally -with French representatives) as well as those of other European nations, and it is reported these discussions brought encouraging ' comment from all involved. At his Rapidan camp, where he went for the week-end after an nouncing his proposal which he described as designed to speed world economy recovery, president Hoover learned with gratification of the generally friendly comment. Additional reports today elaborat ed the meagre information tele phoned to him at the Rapidan. Action This Week Although Great Riltain's general attitude was well understood hore, Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon ald'B elaboration of that position to tho house of commons was awaited eagerly. Hut Washington is most interested in the French cabinet meeting which it was in formed will consider the question this week. Specifically, it wants to learn how France will view a moratorium on German reconstruction pay ments. I While President Hoover declared reparations was wholly a European problem and war debts owing America were settled upon a basis , not contingent upon reparations, he made his one year moratorium offer condition upon suspension of payments on reparations and other Inter -governmental debts. Tho president said: Consistent Policy "Subject to confirmation by con gress, the American government will postpone all payments upon the debts of foreign governments to tho American government payable dur ing tho fiscal year beginning July 1 next, conditional on a like post ponement for one year or all pay ments on intergovernmental debts owing the important creditor na tions." . The president said his course of action was "definitely consist ent with the policy which we havo hitherto pursued." "S'e are not Involved In the dis cussion of strictly European prob lems, of which the payment of Ger man reparations is one," he said. "It represents our willingness to make a contribution to the early restoration of world nrosperity in which our own people have so deep an interest." A moratorium on all debts would cost the I'nlted States about 24B, 000,000 during the year, and France in the neighborhood of $100,000, 000. Germany's payments ordin arily would amount to about $425, 000.000. t Klamath Falls Foundation work for addition to Klamath I'nlnn high schcool woll under way.
