The governor's action was In an
swer to a request made yesterday by
the Bofatadter legislative committee
for a bill giving the Inquiry board
the right, to grant general Immunity
to witnesses.
In a letter which Samuel Seabury,
chief counsel for the committee,' sent
with the request, the governor, was
told that the beneficiaries of

thrown every obstruction possible In
the path of the committee.- It said
the legislation requested would help

NSW YORK, Aug. 18. (AP) Tho
New York Evening - Post today at
tributed to "the highest authorities
available" among International law
yers and bankers the view that; the
final agreement reached this, week on
the Hoover moratorium Indicates an
end of war debts on the basis former
ly existing.
No encouragement was found from
the Post's souroes for the belief that
Oormany would resume her schedule
of payments a( trie end of the holi
day. The opinion was advanced that
the least fne world may expect Is
that Oormany will ask two or three
years', extension beyond the closing
date of the moratorium.
What waa described as of greater
probability 'la 'that the reparations
question would be attacked from an
entirely new angle. Having Inextric
ably connected these debts With the
war debts of the allied nation;, Ger
many might ask tor a revision of the
Versailles treaty. ......
Should she be able to remove the
so-called var guilt" from her shnul
ders, the theory proceeded, she would
at the same time have destroyed all
legal' grounds by which she Is com
pelled to pay reparations to the 'na
tions victorious l nthe war. ' ' i
These theorist added that Ger
many will readily find allies tonight
her 'battle tor" rewriting the treaty
term. While Franet may be expected
to resist the' slightest change, rea
sons were suggested for believing that
England - would, take the Initiative,
for new psdt.- i
England was pictured as realising
the treaty Is riot only crushing 'the
life but of Oermany because of her
inability to meet ' lis -terms, but la
also retarding , the recovery of th
British- commonwealth of nations
and the rest' of the world from -tho
deprtsslbn, ' ' '
Th luted States too, was described
as gradually embracing the view that
a new international deal Is needed
before prosperity can again become
possible, , . - r - -
While the United States did not
sign th was treaty, her Interest In
the question at stake was the basis
for the new that she would support
any action, taken during the mora
torium year fdr treaty revision. '
Such support was held to be vital
to any International program on the
theory that without stable condition
abroad, American Industry can hard
ly, hope to get Into its normal stride,
because of the Importance of foreign
markets for It surplus.
' Representatives of Wall Street, ho
have returned recently from Europe
were said to regard tha situation
throughout that continent as very
serious. Th hor.term loan crisis In
Oermany particularly was described
aa extremely dlffleult, with general
revision of the European financial
system appearing Inevitable. - -
