POWERS FEAR DEBT PARLEY DIIE_TO FAIL Hopelessly at Odds as Lausanne Session Draws Near. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scri-Howard Poreirn Editor WASHINGTON, June 14.—The eve of the fateful reparations and war debts conference at Lausanne next Thursday finds the interested powers apparently hopelessly at sixes and sevens. 1. Germany owes the allies, under the Young plan, $27,641,000,000, principal and interest over a period of about 60 years, or an average of approximately $460,000,000, a year. This, she warns, she can not and will not pay. 2. The allies owe the United States on war debts, $22,188,000,000, principal and interest over a similar period, or an average of nearly $370,000,000 a year. This, they declare in turn, they can not and will not pay unless Germany pays them. 3. To arrive at some understanding with regard to this impasse, Britain, France and the other allies insist it is necessary for the United States to meet with them at Lausanne. And this the United States categorically declines to do, claiming it has nothing whatever to do with reparations. Britain for Cancellation So much for the fundamental difficulties underlying the parley. On top of these, however, there is a perfect maze of other differences between the allies themselves and between them and Germany. For example: 1. Great Britain advocates cancellation of both reparations and war debts, in toto. If this were done she would come out about even. 2. France is opposed to cancellation. True, she will agree to cancel that part of German reparations which she, in turn, must pay over to the United States and Britain on war debts, if her creditors so desire, but she insists upon payment of that portion earmarked for war damages or reconstruction. 3. Germany frankly demands abolition of the whole Young plan, lock, stock and barrel, and threatens, as the red-hot tide of Hitlerism and kaiserism mounts, to abolish it herself and face the allies with a fait accompli. Failure, therefore, threatens the parley from the very start. The alternative, as viewed on both sides of the Atlantic, is to prevent the Germans from spilling the fat into the fire, extend the existing moratorium and leave the young plan technically intact for the time being. Spar for Time This, it is argued, would give time for further examination of the whole problem. The presidential campaign could proceed in the United States without war debts becoming an issue, and Germany, on her part, could hold her pivotal reichstag elections, scheduled for July 31, without a blow up due to any decisions at Lausanne. Furthermore, during the breath-ing-spell thus provided, it is pointed out, the proposed world economic conference could be held at London or elsewhere with the United States sitting in. And there, properly camouflaged to keep them from jarring too severely on American political sensibilities, war debts and reparations could be dealt with as part and parcel of the ills that ail the world. Officially Washington has now definitely washed its hands of Lausanne. Tire White House, the state and treasury departments continue to insist that war debts are unconnected with reparations, and Secretary Stimson has repeated the phrase to various diplomats here in the last few days. Reduction Is Opposed And congress is still on record against either reduction or cancellation of the existing indebtedness. Off the record, however, leaders both in and out of the administration, oonfess they do not entertain the slightest hope of collecting in full, under existing conditions and arrangements, and admit anew deal all the way round is inevitable. Thus a breathing spell would not be entirely welcome. For it is fully realized that any drastic decision at Lausanne at this time could hardly fail to cost the American people billions.

Davila just resigned as head j of Qhile's new Socialist government, i accepted a request of the govern- ' meat today to go to Europe on a special mission, and prepared to leave the country shortly.

SENATE WILL DEFEAT BONUS BILMjUICKLY Between 50 and 60 Senators Have Promised to Vote Against Measure. By Scripps-Hoicard Xctcxpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 14.—Early and decisive defeat of the $2,250,000,000 soldiers’ bonus bill was foreshadowed today by the report that between fifty and Sxty of the ninety-six senators have pledged themselves to vote %gainst the measure. Unless several senators back down on their promises to Republican and Democratic leaders, the bill never will reach the White House for a presidential veto. With approximately 20.000 destitute World war veterans camped in Washington awaiting the outcome, the house was expected to pass the bill by a safe majority tonight. It was believed, however, that the vote tonight would not be as strong as that recorded Monday—--226 to 175 —On motion to bring the bill to the floor. Monday’s ‘aye” vote was forty-one short of the two-thirds necessary to override a veto, and sixty-four short of an actual two-thirds of the house. Urging bonus proponents to rescue the bill from certain defeat by striking out the “currency printing press” feature. Representative Richard Kelberg (Dem., Tex.) today put forward his proposal to finance retirement of the service certificates by a tax of 3 cents a pint on 2.75 per cent beer. He contended the necessary two-thirds vote might thus be secured. Alternative amendments to raise the revenue by additional tobacco taxes or by an excise on soft drinks were planned by the Texan, should his beer proposal fail. Senator Elmer Thomas (Dem., Okla.), senate champion of the bonus, said today that he would ask for immediate consideration of the measure as soon as it is received by that body. Thomas said he would urge the senate to waive the customary procedure of referring the bill to a committee and vote at once so that the thousands in the unsheltered bonus camp here might feel free to return home.

DUBLIN JAMMED BY CHURCH CONGRESS
Thousands of Catholics to Attend Eucharistic Assembly. By United Press DUBLIN, June 14. —A million Catholic worshippers from all over the world will gather here this June, exactly 1,500 years after St. Patrick first spread the gospel of Christianity, to attend the international eucharistic congress. The theme of the congress will be the contribution made to Christianity by the Irish missionaries. Many peoples of Europe owe their conversion from barbaric creeds to the two great Irish saints, St. Patrick and St. Columba, and the missionaries who followed in their footsteps. Pope Pius XI has expressed pleasure that this year’s congress is to be held in one of the world’s most devout Catholic countries. The visit Os the papal legate, the hosts of cardinals, archbishops, priests and laymen, combined with the impressive pageantry of the ceremonies, will provide the greatest spectacle Dublin has ever witnessed. Every room in every hotel within fifty miles of Dublin has been reserved well in advance for the pilgrims. But even these will not be enough to accommodate the throng. A great tent city in which 6,000 can live will spring up at Artane, and dozens of large ocean liners will remain tied to their moorings during congress week to serve as floating hotels. Special trains will provide other sleeping accommodations, and many who come by foot or motor car will camp in the beautiful green hills and mountains which surround Dublin. Even as far away as Belfast, the

6.0. P. EVINCES KEEN INTEREST IN FOES' PLANS Watchful Eye Is Kept on Rivals, Preparing for Convention. By Srripps-Hotcard Xetcspaprr Alliance CHICAGO. June 14.—The Democratic national convention, which opens twelve days hence, actually is of greater interest to Republican delegates than their own show, which started today. The Republicans know who they are going to nominate for President and the big bosses think they know what the convention will do about prohibition and the Vice-President. But they don’t know what the Democrats are going to do, either as to a candidate for President or in the degree of moistness of their prohibition plank. Most Republican delegates feel that the Democrats will not pussyfoot in their approach to prohibition reform. And because of anticipated Democratic frankness, those Republicans who sincerely advocate repeal believe that Democrats will have them at a disadvantage at the very inception of the presidential campaign. Whatever prohibition disadvantage they may suffer. Republicans hope will be offset in the nominee for PresidentIn their conferences, the G. O. P. leaders are weighing the relative strength and weakness of the several Democratic candidates. Despite Governor Roosevelt's sweep in the primary campaigns, which has brought him within striking distance of the nomination, some G. O. P. leaders are hoping he will be nominated. They express themselves as satisfied tflat Roosevelt will be a weaker opponent than Smith or Baker or Governor Ritchie or Senator Bulkley of Ohio. Democratic manevering will begin in real earnest when the Republicans leave town, probably Friday. But James A. Farley, Roosevelt’s campaign manager, has been here for a final survey before getting down to business next week. Farley is reported to have consulted with Mayor Cermak of Chicago, with a view of getting his help toward swinging Illinois’ fifty-eight delegates to Roosevelt when they desert Senator Lewis. He also is reported to have made overtures to banker Melvin A. Traylor, himself a presidential possibility. to take second place with Roosevelt.
