S. NOTE. Next Move Undecided, But Paris Is Expected to Renew Plea. PARIS, November 26 (#).—Unofficial 4ntimations that France might consider another note to the United States on the war debt appeared today as Pre- mier Edouard Herriot called high gov- ernment officials into conference. ‘The premier called Louis Germain- Martin, the finance minister, and for- ®ign office experts to meet him. ‘The newspaper Excelsior said that after the conference the premier would be able to draft a new note and submit it to the cabinet on Monday. This communication, the paper said, probably would be delivered in Wash- ington after the British government de- livers the note it has in preparation on the same subject. Same Arguments. It was added the texts of the two ents would in nowise be con- certed, t.hau’h it would be possible in advance to foresee the same legal and Iactual arguments. Ere Nouvele, the Leftist organ, said France stated the problem in one way and America in the other. “We are far from indifferent to this,” the paper said, “but we are not alone invclved. Each party icust shoulder its resporsibility. We assumed ours at Lausenne. If tomorrow Lausanne is considered null and void, we. acquiesce, but also we consider our course always in the same spirit of peace, but always ‘with constant care in defending our rights d the just interests of our country and taking the widest account ©f confidence and accord bestween us and our British friends.” The Journsl captioned the text of the American nois advising France to pay its $20,000,000 debt interest install- ment next month as follows: “America’s intrasigent refusal proleng the war debt moratorium.” Herriot Studies Reply. Premier Herriot was unwilling to say France would send & new note to Wash- ington, asserting he wished to examine Ameriran reply to the original ch communication asking suspen- sion of the December payment. Meanwhile, yesterday’s cabinet meet- ing developed two viewpoints, it was| reported in parliamentary circles.

(Continued From First Page.) eventual revision of the debt question the acceptance of other compensations for the sums due to France, in some other form than gold. “The attitude of the President,” says the note to France, “is that for any suggested study of intergovernmental financial obligations as now existing, some such agency (congressional com- mission) as I have referred to, should be created to consider this question in- dividually - with each government as heretofore. As he has several times said publicly, he also believes that some basis might be found for bringing to the American people some adequate com- pensation in forms other than cash pay- ment. * ¢ " This sugestion of liquidating the debts by other means than cash was not made to the British government. Otherwise the notes arc identical. While firmly rejecting the suggestion of the British, French and Belgian gov- ernments regarding the postponement of the December installments and refer- ring to the Congress of the United States the question of revision of the war debts which these governments base on the present world-wide depres- sion, Mr. Stimson is diplomatically sympathetic with the foreign govern- ments. Appreciates Situation. “The linportance of the proposal con- tained in the note of November 10,” he states, “and the seriousness of the sit- uation upon which it is predicated * * * is fully appreciated. In a matter of such importance there. must be allowed no opportunity for misunderstanding or Tailure to reach conclusions satisfactory to both governments and people: Then, he proceeds to explain to the governments that “not only is there re- served to the Congress of the United States the ultimate decision in respect to the funding, refunding or amend- ing these intergovernmental obligations under consideration, but the Congress in the past has itself provided the ma- chinery in the shape of the World ‘War Foreign Debt Commission for the in- vestigation of the making of recommendations upon which such action might be taken.” After having explained the consti- tutional machinery for the revision of debts, the Secretary of State proceeds to tell the foreign governments that their request goes “far beyond any- thing contemplated or proposed at any time either by President Hoover or by this Government, and that e\':n the suggestion quoted in your note was mgtg:dopted by the Congress of the United States.” No Parallel Found. 1In the note addressed to the French government Mr. Stimson makes com- prehensive survey of the history of the war debts since they were contracted in the days of President Wilson, and proves conclusively that there can be no parallel drawn between war debts and reparations. “Not only did this Governmennt not receive any compensation * * * at the close of the war, but from the fact that it owed no obligations of any kind to others, treatment of the debts and reparations as though they were connected could only operate to the dis- adventage of .the United States.” And to make matters still more clear the Secretary of State adds that “the debts owed to the United States thus | naturally fell into the category of or- dinary debts obligations between in- dividual nations and were treated as such.” Mr. Stimson makes it plain to the interested governments that the United States fully appreciates the difficulties the foreign nations are encountering in discharging their obligations on account of the world-wide depression, and the concurrent fall of prices, which have increased the weight of debts in many parts of the world. He also appreci- ates the importance of the steps taken at Lausanne in respect to the repara- tions and also the refations between all these factors which may bear. upon the process of recovery. But he adds “it mus$ be vememhered that these in- cidents of the depression have also fallen with grpat weight upon the American and the effects upon them dir a8 axpayers or other- wise of any modification of an agrec- ment with respect to debts due to this country cannot be disregarded.” Doesn’t Close Door. But the Secretary of State coes not completely slam the door in the face of the debtor nations in regard to a possible revision. He says that the President “Is prepared to recommend to Congress that it constitute an agency to examine the whole subject individu- ally with each nation.” This last state- ment, it is believed, will encourage the debtor nations to present their indi- vidual cases, if they chose to do so, to the Congress of the United State: Regarding the request for a postpo; ment of the installments due on De- cembes 15, the Secretary of State holds no hope and gives no encouragemeni to the debtor countries. Neither has the President the power to grant such an extension nor have the interested powers presented their case in a man- ner to justify such a postponement. to the postponement * * which is one of the objectives of y note, no authority lies within the power of the Executive to grant such an ex-; tension, and no facts have been placed in our possession which could be pre- sented to the Congress for favorable consideration,” Mr. Stimson said. Mr. Stimson ended his notes with a friendly advice to the powers that if they want the Congress of the United States to reconsider the debt question they should pay the amounts due on time. He said: “Such importance is attached to the maintenance of the original agreements in force by the pay- ment on December 15 as to far out- weigh any reason now apparent for its suspension, and by such payments the prospects of a satisfactory approach to the whole question, in my opinion, would be greatly increased.” Negative Replies Expected. The reply of the United States Gov- ernment will cause no particular sur- prise in France and in Great Britain. A negative answer had been expected. | According to news received in official quarters in Washington, it appears that the heads of the governments in both countries are desirous to meet their cb- ligations, but they are up against the popular feeling which is opposed to any continuance of payment of the war debts on the basis of the old agree- ments. In France, in particular, the fear is expressed that if the government of the French Republic decided to pay the relatively unimportant sum of $20.- 000,000 the Congress of the United States will become more adamant re-'| garding a final settlement and reduc- tion of the French debts, because it will be assumed here that the French can pay if sufficient pressure is brought to bear upon them. The debtor governments have been maintaining that disaster will overccme the whole world if America insists on being paid on December 15. If these payments are made, and the disaster spoken of proves to be a myth, the American Congress, it is said, will prove more untractable than in the past. Economists Favor Change. American and European economists maintain that the debts cannot con- tinue to be paid as in the past with- out very serious consequences to the entire economic structure of the world.

Despite strenuous opposition of con- gressional leaders to creation of an agency to review war debls, America’s notes to European powers stated that President Hoover intended to recom- mend establishment of such a commis- sion. The notes handed by Secretary of State Stimson to the Ambassadors of Great Britain, France and Belgium on November 23—the evening after the President’s conference with those con- gressional leaders —all carried that statement. the requests presented for granting a new moratorium; that Congress alone { neither the National Legislature nor the American people were in a mood to do so. \ ‘Diluted Moratorium.” | last night came also new expressions from Capitol Hill against the Hoover proposal.
