DEBT PARLEY
IS BUSSED
Hoover and Roosevelt Hold Con-
\ ference On War Debts. Lead
ers of Both Parties In Con
fess To Confer With Presi
dent On Pressing Problem.
QA Wednekjay, before Thanksgiving
By Alht*rt T
Local Pastor
Returned Here
Washington, Nov. 22.—To a, sugges
tion that the war debits commission be
rwstablished to conduct a, fresh ex
amination of the deH prohlehf, Gover
nor Roosevelt today replied that the
subject was one for the present con
gress to consider if Mr. Hoover should
recommend it.
The exchange took place at the now
historic' meeting between President
Hoover and the .president-elect before
a crackling log fire in the austere red
room of the White House.
The New York governor, it was said
b'v one in a position to know what hap-
peWd, declined to make any commit
ments, and for the most part made
his roX in the cdnference that of a
listener.
Mr. Rdb^\?velt’8 position was out
lined as unhanged from the attitude
he expressedHn an.swering Mr. Hoov
er’s invitalioinX to the conference —
that any immedi^e action on the war
debts was the res^)nsibility of those
ntvw in executive or^gislative control
of the government
President Hoover a ^ar ago pro
posed to con^reSf that tlW debt com
mission be reestablished. Subh a storm
of protest was raised among legis-
laitors—arising in some ca.-es fi\m ad
ministration spokesmen—that the\pro-
posal never was brought to a specific
vote.
Meanwhile, the great powers of the
old world, anxious to postpone pay
ments of $124,934,421 due less; than a
month hence, waited eagerly to hear
~lM’res^g6ffhywordB‘pyghaTiged-'trps-
neath the glitteVing chandeliers of the
White House’s famous red room.
All that was announced officially of
what passed between the present and
future heads of the government was
summed up in a 40-word statement
saying the situation had been thor
oughly canvassed, progress made and
-that~*Mvv Ht»ov«*.--iKuuld , work on the
debt problem tomorrow' with ^eaderS “
of both parties in congress. With
them the final answer re.ts.
Hut unofficially,.those most famil
iar with the views of the president
and the governor were quick to point
, (Hit the stand of l)oth against cuncel-
Ui'tion, .Mr. Hoover’s opposition t») any
extension (jf the moratorium granted
more than a year ago, Mr. Roosevelt’s
insistence that the immediate di
tion of the debt problem is the resporT^
sibility of tho.se now in authority, and
the emphatic vote by which congress
recorded itself last December against
any further conce.ssions to the debtor
states.
l,ike .Mr. Hoover, Governor Roose-
ve'.t I'xsked fuiward to a debt discus
sion with congressional chieftains. The
leaders of his party in the national
legislature were called together for a
parley tonight, after the president
elect had attended a dinner given in
hLs honor by the national press club.
Responding to Mr. Hoover’s invita
tion, Governor Roosevelt arrived in
the city in* late afternoon, entered a
waiting White House automobile and
was driven at once to the White
House, .\long historic Pennsylvania
avenue, over which he will pass en
route to his inauguration in March,
clusters of people waited and cheered.
Mr. Hoover waited in the red room,
~wWSecffeUry -Erwin Hoovor,
for many years chief usher at the
White Houie, escorted the president
elect to the conference room and an
nounced simply: “The governor of
New York.”
“Mr. President,” exclaimed Roose
velt. A hearty handclasp followed.
Then th^ governor introduced Ray
mond Moley of the Columbia univer
sity facq’.'iy. his economic adviser.
Chairs were pulled up to a table, ci
gars and cigarettes produced and the
conference was on.

A. J. Beattie, staite comptroller gen

amount of revenue,” he j'aid, “means
one of three things:
