Washington, Feb. 4. — Devaluation of the American dollar to 59.06 cents jreign debtors to pay their debts at /40 per cent, discount—if they choose to pay. - The debt reduction for which they have been clamoring for years has been automatically granted—provided the debtors have, or can get, the gold and provided they are sincerely anxious to discharge their obligations to the U. S. Treasury. The debt agreements now in exist ence, most of which are in ^hole or in part in default, expressly provide that payment is to be made in gold. The gold that formerly was worth 320.67 per ounce is now worth 335 an ounce, and the treasury has announced it is willing to take all offered at that amount. X, Thus, Great Britain, who owes proxitnatoly 4,600 million dollars, could settle the obligation for 2,700 million dollara in gold; France, who owes approximately 8,800 million dot- taia, could pay off for about 2,228 million dollars, and so on down the Hat of A dozen other debtors.

Senator Williams said the adoption of such a plan probably would finance a raise in teachers’ salaries and enable a sharp cut in auto tag fee g without endangering the retirement of bonds. The two proposal/ came at s time when many legislators are casting about anxiously for possible sources cf additional revenue for such pur poses. They coul<i not take effect be fore next year if approved, however. The senate finance committee which has had the $6,241,000 house appro priation bill under consideration since January 19th, was expected to go deeply into the question of State in come during 4he week. Introduction of thq. redrafted bill in the senate by the week-end was understood to depend greatly upon finepng an answer to the financial question. Auto tags, higher salaries for State employes and teachers, liberalization cf the libel law, and the possible re vival of the I’homas “bone-dry” bill in the house stacked the week’s calen dar with fiery possibilities. ’ State were co-operiting in the pro gram.
