'JOIT CLUB MUTING Members Of Gardner street Quoit Club will meet Monday night at "7 Of chief interest to the United States is the tact that the German attitude, if persisted in, probably will be followed by concerted action on the part of America's European war debts to obtain cancellation or at least drastic 'reduction of their obligations to this country. Hints have come from several old world capitals iu the past fortnight that such a united scheme was in the making and that the war-time "associates" of the United States were preparing to that since Germany was no longer able to pay reparations they were no longer able to pay their war debts. British Get News London. Jan. 9.

Germany has finished with payment of reparations. She has decided she can not pay now and will not pay in the future and has flatly advised her creditors of the decision. An official jui from tr.e British, foreign oftice today made public the German government's decision, which Tas formally communicated to the British ambassa dor in Berlin by Chancellor Hein- rich Bruening. The German course of action was decided upon after a series of conferences between Chancellor Bruening and various political leaders, including Adolph Hitler, chieftian of the National Socialists (Fascists) and leading protagonist for repudia tion of reparations. The British communique declared Chancellor Bruening considered his decision unalterable.

He informed foreign ambassadors of the decision, feeling that Germany's credi tors ilght just as well know the German government view linmeat ately. Germany's action was not unex pected, owing to persistent reports during the last 24 hours that Chan cellor Bruening contemplated for mal repudiation of reparations. But it came as something of a shock none the less. In the course of her conversation with the British Ambassador, Dr. Bruening stated emphatically that a new moratorium on reparations or any similar temporary measure would merely "prolong the agony" and would not afford a satisfactory solution of the problem in any way.

International News Service learn ed In diplomatic quarters that Ger many formally requested Britain's aid in obtaining complete annulment of all reparations. Germany, it was understood, Is willing to make formal concessions to enable France to accept the annulment, ana Is also willing to attend the Lausanne conference to aid in et forts to find some face-saving for mula for all. In her communication to Britain and the other powers, Germany stressed the fact that she can not pay reparations, the word "won't" being hedged In with diplomatic phraseology in an effort to avoid provocation. British Favor German Stand Great Britain is believed to fav or Germany's stand but some anx iety Is felt over France's possible action, particularly In view of the fact that the question of sanctions in the event of Germany's default was brought up during the recent visit of French Finance Minister Pierre Flandin to London. International News Service was Informed that Germany told the world powers continued payment of reparations would mean her eco nomlc collapse.

If relieved from the burden of reparations, she pointed out, she will be able to pay her prl vate debts. The German declaration came as a bombshell to British officialdom, No official comment was forthcom ing, the government considering it advisable to examine the situation carefully for several days both from the point of view of national policy and the effect of Germany's decision upon the international scene. Speaking unofficially, a well-in formed authority said that at first blush the German decision appeared to take Britain back to her original proposal of ten years ago, when she suggested foregoing her 000 in reparations in exchange for cancellation of her $5,000,000,000 in war debts to the United States. France's proltfble action was vigorously discussed in official circles. "Have you heard anything of French troops sailing up the Rhine yet?" one official asked when ques tioned concerning the possibility of occupation.

Others expressed fears France might insist upon sanctions and posslblv meve for renewed occupa tion of the Ruhr Valley. In spite of this fear, however, there was unanimity of belief that the force of world opinion would prevent ac. tual occupation. The exact language used by the British Foreign Office spokesman In announcing Germany's repudia tion of reparation obligations today follows: "We confirm the fact that the British Ambassador In Berlin was told by Chancellor Bruening yester day that no further reparation pay ments could be made now or at any time." Asked If Bruening had s'aid that Germany "would not pay," he said, "that's right. The idea I meant to convey was that she would not pay brcause she would not be able to pay."

9. A terrific indictment of the manner in which California law handled the Mooney-Billings case was contained In a re port compiled by experts for the Wickersham Commission and sent to the Senate today. There never was any scientific attempt made by the police or the prosecution to discover the perpetrators of the crime (the bombing of the 1916 Preparedness Day parade in San Francisco.) The investigation was in reality turned over to a private detective, who used his position to cause the arrest of the defendants. The police investigation was reduced to a hunt for evidence to convict the arrested defendant," the report declared. "There were flagrant violations of the statutory law of California by both the police and the prosecution in the manner In which the defendants' were arrested and held incommunicado.

"Immediately after the arrests of the defendants they commenced a deliberate attempt to arouse public prejudice against them, by a series of almost daily interviews given to the press by prosecuting officials," the experts asserted. file Suit To Test Legal-ity Of Relief Bill (Continued From Page 1).

Raskob told the committee it was "too long" to read. Ex-Gov. Harry F. Byrd promptly movd the report and data be referred to the resolutions committee at the convention, and this procedure was approved unamimously, this prevented any fireworks on prohibition such as featured the last meeting of the committee here In March.

There was a fine Btew brewing, however over the choice of a convention city. The Roosevelt people, averse to going to Chicago, were Insisting upon Kansas but the Chicago contingent declared privately they would vote for Atlantic City rather than see the Roosevelt supporters take the meeting to Kansas City. It was reported Atlantic City was prepared to bid up to $200,000 for the show, which would top Kansas City's bid of $150,000. "After a few more preliminaries, Chairman Raskob started the bid-dim? for the convention city. "We have something here which we can legitimately sell," he said, smiling.

"A concession that we need not be ashamed of." Atlantic City was given first call, and Mayor Harry Bacharach promptly stepped to the front with a guarantee of $200,000 for the convention. He explained the coast resort's natural advantages. Chicago followed Atlantic City with a bid of $150,000, offered by Mayor "Tony Cermak, himself a Democrat." San Francisco followed with a similar offer of $150,000, presented by Isadore Dockweiler, the National Committeeman. He recalled that the Democrats had had "a mighty fine time" there in 1920.
