15 LONDON, Nov. 24. (AP) British official quarters refused tonight to take President Hoover's "no" as the final answer to Britain's plea for an extension of the moratorium on war debts. The cabinet ministers, a high authority said, declined to contemplate the possibility of the American government's "delivering a shattering blow to the confidence that has grown out of the Lausanne decisions by demanding Immediate resumption of war debt payments." A committee of the cabinet will meet tomorrow morning to study America's answer to the British note asking for suspension of the December 15 payment. Additional data to support Britain's request for a reconsideration of the debt is being gathered for Incorporation Into a note which will be forwarded to Washington as quickly as possible.

This note may be drafted at tomorrow's meeting. As yet there has been no indication when the American note will be published. The government may hold It for several days. England Will Pay There were few In England who doubted tonight that If further rep resentations to Washington fail to bring an extension of the Hoover moratorium, this country will make the payment due next month. One of the newspapers earns out today with a banner line across page one that it had learned that the British government will not pay the $95,550,000 in interest and principal due December 14.

The story was immediately denied In a responsible quarter. Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer upon whom most of the burden In this matter falls, declined to say just when he will be able to make a definite statement. Asked in the house of commons if he had considered whether there would be any evil effect on British credit If the payment were made In gold, he replied that "all relevant matters will be taken into consideration." Delaying Recovery Meanwhile Sir Robert Home, chancellor of the exchequer 10 years ago when England was preparing to fund the American debts, urged that the government not even consider default, but pay in gold from the Bank of England the amount due next month. Great Britain can buy what she needs from countries which have gone oft the gold standard and are now on the sterling standard, he said. By Insisting upon payment at this time, he declared, the United States Is only delaying the world's economic recovery and blocking the advance toward cooperative ef fort for recovery.

He advocated an increase In the British currency to offset gold payment to the United States. "Under ordinary circumstanres," he said, "a gold payment would lead (Continued to Page 10, Column 1) BEER MEASURES BOTHER SOLON'S wine jjioc insists on Poking Its Fingers Into Lawmaking FIGHT REGULATION Busch, Blatz, Others in Industry Give Their Views WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. (AP) A new problem ap peared today Democratic plans to legalize beer at the short session of congress in demands that legislation modifying the Volstead act also permit the sale of light wines. Meanwhile, some brewers prepared to seek both barrel and bottle distribution of beer.

Re plies to Inquiries from several In dicated they are not united on any definite proposal except that the permissible alcoholic content be in creased. Plans for the formation of a bloc to Insist upon the legislation of light wines already are In the mak ing. They were forecast by Rep resentative Hawley of Oregon, ranking Republican on the ways and means committee, after it had decided to open hearings on a beer bill December 7. Wine Bloc In San Francisco Representative Welch Cal.) said representatives from the wine producing and consuming states including California, New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Missouri probably would make up the bloc.

Chairman Collier of the house ways and means committee said the wine proponents would he given an equal hearing with beer advocates. In answer to an Inquiry on beer distribution, August A. Busch of Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, said that "congress should not attempt to regulate the distribution of beer in event the Volstead act Is amended, inasmuch as any act passed by congress on this subject can relate only to non-intoxicating beer under the constitution." He added: "Regulation of sale (of beer) is a state function, and if (state) police powers can impose and enforce proper regulation much more effectively than the federal government, the acts of congress should be limited to the defining at the percentage of alcohol which may be permissible, to impose and collect a tax on the product and to determine what tariff rates should apply on Imported beers." Only In Battles Edward T.andsberg, president of the Blatz Brewirfg company in Milwaukee, said if the Volstead act Is modified, hi-er should be sold "only in bottles at hotels, clubs, restaurants, lunchrooms, dining cars, et cetera, for consumption with meals, and in grocery, department, drug and other retail stores by bottle or case for home consumption." William L. CJoetz, president of the M.

K. Goetz Brewing company In Chicago, recommended 2.75 per cent beer by weight to be distributed as near beer through "the ordinary channels" and "without sales restrictions which usually are made to surround the sale of intoxicating liquor." He said 2.75 per cent beer was non-intoxicating in fact. "This method of distribution tn bottles and by weight will Insure a sufficient volume of beer for a tax base on which a large revenue can be secured without a prohibitively high rate nf tax, enabling the brewer to retail his product at a price within the reach of all," he said. Meanwhile Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill said they would not seek adoption of a resolution looking to repeal the eighteenth amendment at the short session until after action on beer legislation. The vote for beer, they contend, will be a large factor In determining whether they will press for a repeal resolution.

(AP) President von Hindenburg, who offered last week to make Adoft Hitler chancellor of Germany if he could guar antee the support of the Reich-tag, withdrew that offered to- day and called in leaders the other parties "to consider another candidate. Thus Hitler goes back to the sidelines for the moment, but Her mann Wilhelm Goerlng, one of his Important associates in the National Socialist party, said this evening that no matter who gets the Job, the Nazis will oppose him so bitterly that he will not hold office long. The president's original offer to Hitler, limited by a series of condi tions, was almost impossible at the very start for the Nazi leader to accept. It would have been inconsistent with his record of opposition to parliamentary government if he had taken the appointment on ly on condition of parliamentary support. Lacks Control He told the president last night that he could not control the reich-stag, but he renewed his proposal that Von Hindenburg make him the head of a "presldlal" cabinet to rule without consulting the parliament.

After yielding a seven-point lead to the Cowboys after a blocked kick in the opening play of the game, the Arizonans launched a brilliant attack in the second and third quarters that, resulted in one touchdown and three times brought them to the shadow of the Aggie goal posts. They out-fought and out-maneuvered the highly-touted visitors, perhaps the greatest aggregation to ever perform on a local gridiron, throughout the entire battle, and not until late in the fourth quarter, when a deep gray mist heralded the approach of darkness was casting deep shadows over the stadium and a cold wind was sweeping acrrls the playing field, did these valiant AVildcats, almost exhausted, wilt be fore Oklahoma's merciless running attack. First Score That first score of the Aggies, coming In tho first 30 seconds of play, invoked a despairing moan from the spectators, unaware that the greatest pigskin clash in recent years was to be unfolded in dra matic fashion before their eyes. The Aggies kicked off to Arizona and downed the receiver on the Wildcat seven-yard line.

On the initial play of the game the Cowboy linemen broke through and blocked Sample's kick behind the goal line. Porter recovered the ball for a touchdown. Erwlns place kick for the extra point sailed squarely between the tiprisrhts. (Continued to Page 4, Column 8) CALLES' WIFE STILL REMAINS IN COMA MEXICO CITY, Nov.

(AP) A Chinese foreign office communique published here today charged that 2700 Chinese peasants were massacred recently in northern Man churia by Japanese troops. xne mass killing was one by machine guns, the communique' said. Inhabitants of the -lllae Pintlngsan, Chlenchlngpae and Llt-sekou, 10 to 16 miles northeast of fusnun, were assembled In a ditch west of Plngtlngsan while Japanese soldiers searched the villages for Chinese volunteers, the an. nouncement said. It was explained that the villagers were suspected of cooperating with and harboflng the volunteers.

Gum Open Fire The Japanese promised a reward if the villagers were found to be Innocent, the foreign office asserted, and then placed more than. 19 machine guns 70 yards from the assemblage, ordering all the captives to kneel with their backs tn the guns. Borne of the villagers realized the fate In store for them, the eomi munique continued, and begafc to run, whereupon the machine gun opened fire on the stampeding mass of screaming men, women and children and the horrible clamor was heard for miles. 'Infants, children and others not killed by bullets were bayonetted," the statement said. The Japanese, the foreign office declared, plied up the corpses, covered them with oil-soaked fuel and burned them.

Subsequently, according to the communique, the farms of the villagers were allotted to Japanese nationals. IRISHMAN GETS LAST LEAGUE WORD GRNI3VA, Nov. 24. M-Ba mon De Valera, president of tho Irish Free State, had the last word today In the dispute between China and Japan over Manchuria, As chairman of the League of Nations council, he put an end tn the debate In which Yosuke Mat-suoka and Dr. Wellington Koo have engaged for tho past three days.

Then he announced that Lord I art-ton, chairman of the commission which Investigated the Manchurlsrt problem for the league, would sub mit to questioning on the com mission's report tomorrow. This was over stren uous objection. He contended that the commission's work ended with the submission of Its report several weeks ego, and that Its chairman should not be permitted now to modify that report or to comment on the debate of this week. Loyal to League 'Japan always has been and still Is one of the most loyal supporters of the league," he said. "She hopes to remain a loyal supporter If she does not find It Incompatible with her own existence and with hev policy of maintaining peace In the far east." This was perhaps the most sig nificant statement during his brief colloquy today with Dr.

Koo. He made it in reply to an assertion by the Chinese spokesman that "Japan Is treating the league covenant, the Kellogg pact and the nine-power treaty with contempt." After renewing his objection to testimony by the Lytton commissioners, the Japanese representative warned the council that if the commissioners are questioned, he will demand the right to examine them himself and he may take a month to do It.

A report written recently by Professor Raymond Moley, economic adviser to President-elect Roosevelt, was listed by William H. Baldwin, treasurer, as one of the three causes "of our present financial predicament." Policy Hit Although ProfesHor Moley devoted considerable space to criticizing the organization's basic policy, Its performance and personnel, Baldwin said the professor "has never visited our office, has never examined our records, has never talked with our general secretary." "Because of his association the Seahury Investigation," Baldwin continued, "Professor Molfy's opinion of the committee necessarily has carried weight among those New Yorkers who aro our important potential contributors. In the lleht of his public report, it is Interesting to speculate as to what he has said in private discussions. At any rate, as treasurer, know the results." Framing Women "Unfortunately," he said, "there arose a public hysteria over the 'framing' of innocent women, and the impression developed in pome quarters that the Committee of Fourteen either was a party to such methods or at least was derelict in not having exposed them.

In spite of this, however, the New York newspapers, upon learning all the facts, re-established with few reservations their traditional confidence in the committee and Its work." As the third cause of the committee's suspension, Baldwin cited "the depression," which he said "needs no comment." lu mints Mrs. Raymond Robins is shown here as she left a hospital in Ashe-ville, N. after her husband, Colonel Robins, failed to recognize her.
