British Decide To Make War Debt Payment
Decision Announced by Prime Minister to French Premier
PARIS, Dec. 8—03.B)—The British government has decided definitely decided to pay the $95,000,000 war debt installment due the United States one week from today, Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald told Premier Edouard Herriot today.
The word passed in a momentous four and a half hour conference at the British embassy.
France’s position, regarding payment of $19,261,432 to America on the same day, remained contingent on the debt debate in the chamber of deputies, scheduled for Monday. There was ample evidence that the British devision wrould exert a powerful influence on the French parliament and that France, too, will arrange to meet the payment.
New Notes Thursday
In any case it appears certain that both Great Britain and France, hopeful of obtaining a “new' deal” from the incoming president and congress, will dispatch new notes to the Washington government next Thursday, reiterating their appeals -for a drastic revision in debt payments.
From London, the British payment of £95,550,000 to the United States next week will be paid all in gold or part in gold and part in dollars, it was generally believed here tonight.
Cabinet To Meet
Members of the cabinet are expected to meet tomorrow to draft a new vote to the Washington government, setting forth the method by which payment will be made.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain returned from Paris where he attended the conference between Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and Premier Edouard Herriot, and refused to discuss the question of payment.
W'hen told that MacDonald had assured Herriot Great Britain will meet next week’s payment, Chamberlain smiled and said: “I do not know what foundation there is for that. You can take it from me that no decision has been reached.”

Strong Notre Dame Team Rated To Score Win Over Troy Eleven
By Art Gierlich Southern California and Notre 1 Dame, two of the greatest football teams in the country, will climax j their 1932 schedules tomorrow afternoon when they clash in the Lo* I Angeles Memorial coliseum. The [ kickoff is slated for 2 o’clock.
With a sell-out assured, these two elevens will stage their annual grid epic before the largest crowd ever to witness a game in southern California and the largest audience ever assembled west of Chicago. At a late hour last night only 8,000 tickets remained unsold, and these are expected to be gone before gametime, meaning that exactly 101,516 paid admissions will witness the battle.
Trojans Underdogs Southern California, champions of the Pacific coast, will take the field tomorrow the underdogs in betting circles. The man power shown by Notre Dame in its backfield, by both starting men and reserves, give the South Bend Ramblers a decided edge. “Hunk” Anderson's machine, after overwhelming Army, 21-0, two weeks ago, stamped itself as one of the most dangerous grid creations in the nation today, and expert prophets foresee a Notre Dame victory in the offing.
After a two-day stay in Tucson, Ariz., the invading gridders are due in Los Angeles tonight arriving at the Southern Pacific depot at 7:30 o’clock. Despite reports of an influenza siege which is said to have left several of tbe Irish pigskin-ners in a*1 weakened condition, Anderson is expected to throw his full strength against the Trojan forces tomorrow.
Braneheau To Start Ray Braneheau, regular halfback for the South Bend eleven, will be in the starting lineup as given out by the Notre Dame mentor yesterday, and George Melinkovitch, leading fullback, who has been dogged by the “flu" through the week, will also be ready for service. During the Tucson drill’s, these two backs impressed spectators with their fine work in all departments of the game, and along with Mike Kckcn. hard-running back are doped to form a tough trio to stop tomorrow.
Anderson may start his second-string backs behind the first-string line, which will mean that Emmett Murphy, quarterback; Joe Sheeketski and Nick Lukats, halfbacks; and Steve Banas, fullback, will open the classic for the Invaders. The Notre Dame grid boss has used these so-called “shock troops” as starting backs in several of his games this j fall, following up later in the fray | with a backfield composed of ! Charles Jaskwhich, quarter; Ray Braneheau and Mike Koken, halfbacks: and George Melinkovitch,
• fullback.
The following men were named to i start in the Ramblers’ forward wall: Captain Host and Kosky. iend3; Kurth and Krause, the all-(Continued on page seven)
