Seen as 'Mere Interlude' That the present moratorium is a mere interlude and that Schacht will next seek to put the problem of Germany's debts on a political basis is the view held in responsible quarters. German newspapers and financial circles speculated frankly as to whether the government would find half a year too short a time to recuperate her finances. Chancellor Hitler's newspaper, the Voelkischer Beobachter, blamed S. Parker Gilbert American-agent general for reparations, for the moratorium declaration, asserting the Toung conference "never looked facts in the face." A Reichsbank statement said reparations and the decline in for-egin trade created the necessity for a moratorium. 't Kir -1 I I if x.

Britain Plans Counter Measures London (JP) As a counter-measure to the German moratorium the British government soon will propose legislation enabling it to set up an Algo-Ger-man clearing office, Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, told the Howe of Commons today. The government, however, would be prepared to refrain from exercising its powers under such a measure. Chamberlain said, "if a satisfactory agreement insuring fair treatment to British bondholders and British commerce can be negotiated before July 1." Great Rritain's ambassador to Berlin has informed the German government to this effect, Cham berlain revealed. Detailed ar-rnneements and particular bonds tn which these arrangements will apply will be worked out as soon as possible, he added. "I ehould add that anyone who purchases German bonds now held by foreigners, does eo at his own risk," the chancellor warned.

"It will be observed that the declara tion made by the Reichsbank re fers to medium and long term loans. "I have seen no suggestion that the German government intends to interfere with the 'standstill acreement funder which certain German obligations were 'unfrozen') and I see no reason why it ehould be affected.

Pittsburgh OP) A plan for set tlement of the disputes in the steel industry was submitted by Presi- ent William Green of the Ameri can Federation of Labor today at the steel workers' convention called to take action on the proposed nation-wide strike. The labor leader suggested "an mpartial board" of three members be appointed by the President to adjust differences over the steel ode and mediate other disputes. The workers shall maintain the right, he said, to organize freelv and the board would have author ity to hold elections among em ployes to choose collective bargain- ng representatives. If the plan is acceptable to both sides, the strike should be called off, he told the 200 delegates attending the meeting of the Amalga mated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers.

Under Green's plan, the board would offer its services as arbitra tor in any dispute and have the right to determine any matters of discrimination or discharge of an employe. Labor Support Pledged He pledged the union the "un reserved support'" of the labor fed eration. The first reaction of the dele gates was that the plan submitted by Green differed in "several par ticulars" from the Roosevelt plan. President Michael F. Tighe of the steel workers union announced later he would propose to the convention that Green's plan be sub mitted to a committee for study, and a report be returned to tne floor.

He added that unless there is a night session of the convention, it appeared unlikely the delegates would be able to complete their business and adjourn today. Green Against Strike Addressing the convention Green said: He was "firmly convinced that all efforts possible should be put forth to avoid an industrial con flict in the steel industry at this time." "I urge the officers and delegates in attendance at this convention to accept the recommendations here with submitted and offer them as a counter proposal, with a guarantee that if accepted, no strike will occur in the steel industry be ginning June 16." Green said there is no more autocratic, dictatorial, unreason able group in America" than those who "represent the steel corpora tions." "But we cannot let them choose our battlefield nor the way our battle is to be fought," he continued. "We must use strategy. meet issue with issue, conauct ourselves so we can get public opinion behind us.

"As I understand the President's plan of looking ahead, there will be a well considered, carefully worked out plan of public works." Ickes predicted creation of a non-political, specially qualified planning board to handle future public works projects. There ehould be no political "logrolling," he said. To aid in levelling off the peaks and valleys of good and bad times, Ickes believes the planning board "ought to have a big portfolio of projects to start in periods of depression."
