NING - STAR, WASHINGTON, CANDIDATES' STAND ON DEBTS RECALLED Both Hoover and Roosevelt Opposed Cancellation During Campaign. By the Associated Press Both President Hoover and President- elect Roosevelt, who will meet this aft- ernoon in an extraordinary conference on United States policy toward Euro- pean war debts owing to the Govern- | ment, expressed themselves during the campaign as opposed to cancellation. Mr. Hoover's statements on the ques- tion included: In his address at Cleveland, October 15: “I have consistently opposed can- cellation of these debts.

In many quarters it is believed that D. C., TUESDAY. such & proposal. But it is a certainty these deg{so must not be cancelled or the burdens transferred to cur people.” Gov. Roosevelt's expressions on debt cancellation have included: In his address from Albany, July 30, after reading from the Democratic platform, which he said he considered binding on the party and the nominee, that “we oppore cancellation of the debts owing to the United States by foreign nations:” “United Front Is Dangerous.” “This problem of the debts is com- plex It solution has, however, been brought measurably nearer by the re- cent results at Lausanne, Great Britain, France and Germany have at last agreed among themselves concerning reparations. The danger now is that they may turn a united front against us. This comes, I am convinzed, not so | much from the debts they owe us as |from our barriers against their trade, which meke the preblem so difficult. “The debts will not be a problem—we shall not have to cancel them—if we are realistic about providing ways in which payment is possible through the profits arising from the rehabilitation of trade. Our policy declares for pay- ment, but at the same time for lowered tariffs and resumption of trade which open the way for payment.” | Edouard Herriot, whose existence MARY B.
