That Congress is determined to oppose any Administration measure to settle the war debts in return for trade concessions or by any other means than payment in hard cash became apparent in the capital, if the approval that greeted Representative Fred Britten’s designation of France as a “nation of cheaters and defaulting misers” is anything to judge by. Britten denounced France during the House debate on the liquor tax bill, in the course of which he proposed a complete embargo on French wines and lio.uors until such time as that nation foregoes its debt-default-ing policy. Simultaneously in the Senate, William E. Borah, Senator (from Idaho, rushed a resolution through the Upper House, calling on Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau for a full report on sums paid and defaulted by debtor nations and laying the groundwork to forestall any Administration attempt to settle the debts without the approval of Congress.

Hideration, reserving the right to | weigh each case on its particular i merits as it comes up for decision, i Hughes held: "If state power exists to give temporary relief from the enforcement ot contracts in the presence of disasters due to physical causes such as tire. Hood or earthquake, that power cannot be said to J>e non-existent when the urgent public need demanding such relief is produced by other and economic causes." Sutherland was quite as insistent In his dissen'. He said, "he simply closes his eyes to the necessary implications of the decision who fail to see in it the potentiality ot 1 future gradual but ever advancing i encroachments upon the sanctity , of private and public contracts. "The effect of the Minnesota I legislation, though serious enough , in itself, is of trivial significance! compared with the far more dang erous and serious inroads upon the. limitations ot the constitution which are almost certain to ensue as a oonsquence naturally follow-: Ing any step beyond the boundaries fixed by that instrument.” (J.

This plan, contemplating repeal of the economy act, probably will get i little support since it would be impossible to pass it over a Presidential veto. The Senate was idle today, except for committees. President Roosevelt is expected | to send two measures to congress j tomorrow. One will urge ratifi-; ca ion of the St. Lawrence water-1 way treaty. The other will discuss the project for guaranteeing | principal as w.-U ;is interest on bonds of the farm credit administration. The liquor revenue bill, report--ed to the senate yesterday from : its finance committee, will be de-1 bated tomorrow. Chairman Har- i rison of the committee said he believed it would be passed with'n a few hours. The finance committee, after discussing the measure at an allday session, reported it in tin? form passed by the house. This carries a tax rate of $2 per gallon. Senate Majority Leader Robinson said the senate would take up the liquor and farm credit bills, going to debate on the waterway 'reaty at intervals when no legis- j lative business was before the

If I had absorbed some of it when Aunt Emma and Brother Herb wanted me to I wouldn’t a been here.” That is one of the last earthly reflections of U alter Reppin. 18-year-old New Jersey youth, the first person condemned to die in Colorado s new lethal chamber at Canon City P.eppin, who killed Vincent Regan, Colorado City taxi driver, during a holdup, protested his being used by the State for an “experiment,” but Governor Edwin C. Johnson turned down his plea, asserting that prompt carrving out of sentences will do much to prevent mob violence in his State. Although Reppin will be the first human to die in the new lethal chamber, authorities have tried it out on animals and pronounced it the most humane method of execution. The gas used (hydrocyanic) is generated under the death chair and acts in a few seconds while witnesses watch from outside through plate glass windows.

During the first ten months of 1933, exports of pork jumped from 6,367.000 to 5.147.000 pounds but i this gain was more than offset by the shrinkage in lard exports from 53,573,000 to 49,812,000 pounds dur- ; ing the ten-mouth period. This in- | dicates that total exports of pork products have continued to decline, emphasizing anew the need for (some method of adjusting production to an effective demand.
