.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.

U. S. 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

DOG POISONERS BODY OF MINER
REPORTED BUSY FOUND ON TRAIL
TWO PETS LOST
Dog poisoners are again at work
in this vicinity, as a result of which
cruelty a number of dogs have
been killed, including pets owned
by Otto Heekert ana Dwlght
Phipps. The former's doff was
poisoned in Jacksonville, and the
hitter's In Medford.
Tho method of the poisoner or
poisoners, Is to put strychnine on
pieces of bread or meat and tosH
them into yards or places near by, I
either during tho night or in the.
day time. I
This is the first time for many
months, so far as can be learned,
that dog poisoning has been re--ported,
the vandals evidently hav
ing been deterred from such work
by tho general public indignation
and tho fact that a reward for
information leding , to. the arrost
of a dog poisoner had been offer
ed by the . association of dog
owners.
Canes of such poisoning should
be reported to the police and the
Humane society.
