"These matters indicate to me that, from the beginning, the United States wrs trying to arrive at a just and fair settlement. There was no attempt to do other than arrive at that end." Bid for Dafct Cancelation. Declaring that Mr. ChurchilVs at tack had been "direct and severe to the utmost degree," Senator Borah said there was a purpose and a plan. and that was cancelation of the en tire debt. "It ,is true that they will refer to it r.s a revision." he added, "but their argiurents are those for cancelation." Amid a swirling array of sums that ran into . the millions and bil lions, senators returned to tlieir arith metic days and chewed pencils, added, subtracted and miltiplied until they had covered scores of sheets of paper. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania started it by saying the settlement provides for the payment by Italy of "every single penny of principal," with interest. Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, a rjember of the debt funding com mittee agreed with him, but Sena tor Howell, republican. Nebraska figured out that the agreement not only cancels the principal, but im poses upon the American people an interest deficit of some $25,000,000 annually for sitxy-two years. on points at issue.

Mr. Morehead has frequently ex pressed to his friends here a prefer- nce for the governor's chair over his present official position, and it is generally believed by many of his staunchest friends in this city and community that the former governor may decide on his return to Ne braska to enter the race for nomina tion for the chief executive office. It is generally understood here by Mr. Morehead's friends that he has never been entirely satisfied with a . congressional chair and that he would prefer to return to the state house at Lincoln when he felt that the time was ripe for his nom ination and election.

The intentions-to-plant re ports give evidence of the general stability that once more appears to underlie the production program as a whole. "Of the three main feed grains corn, oats, and barley the report ed intention is to plant 15.500.000 acres against 155,000.000 last year. The contemplated increase is in oats and barley, the intended corn acre age being pdactically the same as last year." Washington, April 1. A formal denial of reports that the Mexican government had granted a 2.000.-000-acre land concession in Lower California to a Japanese syndicate was issued here Wednesday by Ambassador Tellez who said he was acting on in structions from his government. j The ambassador said that during the Diaz regime a broad tract on the coast of Lower California 1 ad been granted to an American named Haff. who still holds it under a require ment that the consent of the Mexican government must be obtained before his rights can be conveyed to any foreign corporation.
