Qermany will Qive Study to Reparations Problem;
May Declare Moratorium
BERLIN, Nov. 20.—(-UP)—Dr. Julian Curtius, foreign minister, declared today that as soon as Germany’s financial and economic household has been put in order the government intends to examine the entire problem of reparations payments with an eye to the desirability of declaring a moratorium, an interlude during which obligation may be postponed.
In a speech before the federal*-
council—a sort of upper chamber
In the Reichstag—the foreign minister minced no words in declaring that Germany Intended to consider a moratorium as a “protective measure” for national freedom.
He abandoned vague generalities and went directly to the problem of Germany’s foreign policy. Curtius devoted his significant speech to three major subjects:
1—The	advisability subsequently of a moratorium.
2—A	demand that the League of Nations swiftly convene a world conference, without further bickerings or delay.
3—Revision	of the treaty of Versailles.
The scholarly minister, outlining his entire concept of Germany's future foreign policies, spoke earnestly of his plans. He insisted that Germany did not Intend to tear up the Young plan.
“But we never guaranteed the plan’s ability to function,” he asserted.
Referring to the possibility of a future reparations moratorium, Dr. Curtius said:
" “Nobody today knows whether measures for ordering our own household will suffice, or when we must take International steps foreseen in the treaties, to protect our economy and currency.
"The foreign countries must understand that the Reich government, after enforcing Its financial program, must continually ask Itself whether it should not also resort to those protective measures.”
The Voung plan includes clauses permitting Germany to declare a moratorium on certain reparations payments, as "protective measures.”
S. C. HEAD MEETS WITH ECONOMISTS

Attendance will be limited to 20 or 25 persons all of whom are prominent educators and employers.

TICKETS TO BE ON SALE FOR DEBATE
International R e 1 a t i ons Club Plans Banquet for English Visitors.
Promising a galaxy of wit and satire, along with more serious lines of reasoning, the English-Southern California debate on the question, "Resolved: That democracy has been tried and found wanting," will be held in Borard auditorium Wednesday night, Nov. 26.
As everyone knows, the English style of oratory differs entirely from that of debaters ln America, and the two men upholding the Britlgh side are said to be past masters of the art of repartee on tho platform. The Southern California squad, not to be outdone, however, have Bpent much time on preparation for the argument, and according to Harris Robinson, Rebate manager, have some startling information to offer cn the subject.
Upholding the English side of the argument aro D. Hope Elleston of Oxford University, and B. J. Crehan of the University of Liverpool. They represent the National Union of Students of England, an Organization composed of 27 collegiate Institutions ln the British Isles. For Southern California, Gregson Bautzer and Ames Crawford, both veterans of many debates, will speak.
Due to the large crowd that will be present, a concentrated drive for the gelling of tickets will be unnecessary. Tickets may be secured by the general public for 50 cents. Student activity books, however, will be honored for 25 cents. Tickets may bo secured in the debate ofllce in the Student Union, in the English and political science offices, and in tho School of Speech office.
"As the auditorium was filled when the Oxford team appeared here several years ago, lt ls advisable to secure tickets early," was the suggestion offered yesterday by the varaity manager.
In addition to the debate, there will be a banquet held In honor of the visiting team on Tuesday night, November 25. The affair will be held in the Social hall of the Student Union and will last from 6 to 8 p. m. Many members of the administration, tho entire debate squad, and the International Relations club, will attend, together with any other students who care to go.
Dr. J. Eugene Harley, of the political science department, and Bates Booth, debate coach, will be the speakers.
The banquet will cost $1.25 per plate, and every student interested i ln forensics or the International ! Relations club is Invited to attend.
Fall Number of Laiv Publication Contains Interesting Articles

nt" n#K.,0UP haa VOted $400 to be used “* titles of Malp!
Fall number of the Southern California Law Review a publication edited and ms	fac' ulty and students of iL- .mol of Law, recently made Its appearance on Ihe campus.
William V. Holohan of the Los Angeles bar has written for this issue an article entitled “Contribution Among Securities Pledged by a Defaulting Stock Broker.” Translated from the French of P Arminjon by L. Albina Caire of the California bar is the answer to the disputed questloni "What Is Private International Law?”
Perhaps the most fascinating inclusion for the layman ls that of Leon R. Yankwich, judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court and author of "California Pleading and Procedure," and "Essays On the I-aw of Libel.’*
In his article “The Cultural Background and Some of the Social Phases of the Code of Hammurabi,” Judge Yankwich has shunted himself for the moment into the fields of history and archaeology and brought out a comparison to the giving of the Laws of Moses. Yankwich cites the making of Justice as the concomitant of law.
The regularly appearing sections on case notes and annotations prepared by members of the S. C. faculty to the Restatement of the Law of Contracts follow. Work on the latter section began with the December Issue of volume II. It treats of the American Law Institute’s Restatement of the Law of Contracts annotated to the California decisions.
CAL. BUILDERS HOLD CONTEST
S. C* Not to Cancel List of V ictories

j Kirkwood Dismissal Will Not Affect Football Games Already Played.
Southern California will not forfeit the football games already played this season because of the dismissal of Spencer Kirkwood Purvis, lt was learned last night. Purvis wns expelled Wednesday after he had confessed that he gained entrance to S. C. as a freshman last year by employing false certificates from Sumner High School, Washington.
Purvis, a halfback and understudy to Marger Apsit, was on his way today to tho Northwest. After starring for two years on tho team of tho College of Puget Sound, Purvis declared, he wanted to play at a large university, and selected 8. C. because lt was far from Tacoma, his home town.
Although tho matter may be brought up at a December meeting of the Pacific Coast conference or submitted Individually to the schools Involved, lt was thought that tho gridiron victories already gained by S. C. would not bo forfeited. A coast conference rule requlros that to gain forfeiture of a game, a participant must protest the eligibility of an opposing player at least 10 days before the scheduled game.
Following a meeting late yesterday of tho general athletic committee, tho following statement was issued: "In the opinion of tho general athletic committee and the athletic staff, thero Is no element In tho Kirkwood situation which calls for any further action on tho part of tho University of Southern California.”
Willis O. Hunter, Trojan director of athletics, made tho following declaration: “In the caso of George Kirkwood, adminlstra. (Continued on Page Tv> o)

INCREASED TARIFF ON CORN ADVISED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20—(UP) —Strenuous use of the flexible provisions of the Hawley-Smoot tariff act for the protecUon of harassed American farmers was sponsored today by Chairman Alexander Legge of the farm board who advocated an early increase of 50 per cent In the tariff on corn.
The possibility of much opposition to the move seemed remote since at present day prices corn can be delivered at the seaboard here from Buenos Aires at a price lower than tbe domestic market.
The present tariff on corn ls 25 cents a bushol and the Increase to 371/4 cents would cover tbe spread.
Legge advocated further protection for the other coarse grains, which include all but wheat, although the need there ls not as imperative as for corn.
1,400 SIGNERS OF PETITION SUPPORT BERKELEY EDITOR
BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 20.— (UP)—Leaders of a peaceful rebellion agalnBt -the University of California student body's executive committee claimed tonight they had signatures of 1400 students opposed to dismissal by the committee of tholr editor, Arthur M. Arlett.
Since only 930 signatures are required for petitions demanding any referendum at the university, it was apparent that an election would be held to determine whether the dismissal of Arlett from high office on the Dally Californian was justified.
A victory for Arlett in thi* election would bo hollow, however, because it could not bo held sooner than Dec. 5, when Arlett’s torm expires. It ls probable that the election would follow that date.
Arlett was removed from offlce on tho ground of incompetency, but the action closely followed his "censure” by the executive committee for editorials he had written following a 74 to 0 victory by Southern California’s football team over California’s Bears.

Prices Show Market Qain
Trading is Heartened by Evidence Of Business
Pickup.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—(UP)— Evidence of a pickup in business in several lines heartened the trading element today and prices on the stock exchange were bid up rather generally until a short time before tbe close.
In that period, profit taking and new short selling practically wiped out early gains ln the principal shares. The close was Irregular.
Trading was somewhat more active than yesterday despite the fact that many brokerage house* were cut off from their clients ln the West by wire failure due to the storms sweeping that region.
During the early trading the motors were leading the market Their strength Induced buying In the motor accessories. General Motors was carried up more than a point but it held only 3-8 point for the day. Chrysler gained more than a point for the day on pool support.
Grains moved up vigorously on word from Washington that the grain situation was working Itself out satisfactorily. Cotton, however, sold off late in the day and closed a few points lower. Closing of several more southern and middle western banks worked against the cotton market and also had an adverse effect on tbe stoek market late in the day.
