IN FOR CONFERENCES Issuance of Comprehensive State- ment on Whole Question Con- sidered by Hoover. £ By the Assoclated Press. A plan for a world holiday on war debts and reparations for ome or two years has become uppermost in Presi- dent Hoover's conferences for relief of the European financial situaticn. Several other possible remedies also were being discussed today, however, as the President continued meeting with members of Congress of both partles. He has-imposed » strict injunction of silence on the proposals he has in mind to strengthen Germany's pcsition and to prevent a ecritical world-wide economic unsettiement. Reduction or cancellation of the war debts has been ruled out by the Presi- dent as one of the remedies because of the opposition to it in Congress. This leaves the moratorium plan as the next available remedy and upon this subject the conferences are now centered. The talks with members of Congress will continue into next week.
