[ VIEW WORLD PROBLEMS‘ Bank of England Official Describes | Existing Situation as Vicious | Debt Cycle. | | | Members of the American debt| funding commission prepared at three-hour conference afternoon for the opening tomorrow | of formal discussions on an Arrange ‘ ment for funding Great Britain's war- time debt to the United States. Their ) views, members said upon !ea\'mfi; were in accord on “general policy. While the commission was in se: on, Gov. Norman of the Bank of ! Cogland, a member of the British delegation, was a caller at the Treas- In the cource of a talk with | newspaper correspondents, he pressed hope of an early agreement on British funding questions, adding that if it so happened it would be! & great step toward solution of ex- sting world problems. “We view the situation as a great vicious cvcle of debts” Gov. Nor-| man said, “and it looks like here in | Washington, D.

There were ontinued reports, however, that the foreign representatives were pre- pared to lay down & Drogram as a bagis for beginning the negotiations Tt was learned that the American commissioners had gone over the | whole category of world problems in thefr discussion yesterday. This was assumed to mean that they had con- aidered them from angles in which | they might possibly affect a debt- | funding arrangement with the Brit- sh. Those problems, it was ex- | plained, would naturally have a bear- | ing on amounts Great Britaln might | desire to pay annually as well as on the whole amount of money to be withdrawn from Europe in the next tew vears In settlement of war-time obligations Recent suggestions here that any Anglo-American agreement reached | would probably serve as a guide line | for future funding by Great Britain | as well as the United States were given support in several quarters after yesterday's meeting . at the Treasury.

Chairman Mellon and Secretary Wads- werth of the American commission ré- \terated after the conference expres- sions of hope that an early agreement would resuit from the British delega- tion's visit It was declared that while Do action of & binding nature had been taken, the American commissioners knew pretty well where they stood on many phases of problems likely to come before the joint meeting. This was fn- terpreted in some quarters as indicat- ing that the discussions yesterday in- volved what answer should be made to some of the many possible propositions that might be laid down by the British. The home delegation, it was explained, always must stay within provisions of the law by which it was created. The varfous phams of a settlement between the ‘law’'s maximum and minimum pro- visions, however, were regarded as cer- | tafn to have entered into the talk of the American commissioners. Mr. Mellon aid’ however, that the discussions had not gone to such lengths, adding that | they had been only of a general nature. WILLIAM B.
