COURSE IN DOUBT AFTER CABINET PARLEY Hoover, in Special Message, Will Ask for Review for Nations Paying Installment. By the Associated Press. A proposed speech on war debts was withheld today by Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, with the an- nouncement to the Senate that “cer- tain circumstances have arisen” that made it seem best to defer discussion. Meanwhile the new complexion cast on the debts issue by yesterday’s default on the part of France and four other nations was studied this morning at the President'’s cabinet table, but after- ward the officials directly concerned were non-committal on the future American course. Explaining his action in calling off the promised senatorial debate on the question, Senator Harrison, the rank- ing Democrat on the important Finance Committee, told the Senate: “On yesterday I gave motice that today I intended to discuss the foreign debt situation. Since making that an- nouncement, there has been, in my opinion, some change in the trend of events. .second class matter post office, Washington, D. C.

He did say: “There was no restraint from the State Department on debate up here. I tock the position it was the practical thing to do.” The Senate galleries had filled for the expected debt debate.

There were no indications, however, that the administration was contem- plating immediatc aggressive steps to straighten out the muddle. Secretary of State Stimson, asked what the future course of this country W be, said: “That is a big question. I do not care to discuss it now.” Secretary Mills, when asked whether the United States might exercise its right under the Mellon-Berenger agree- ment to demand of France its own bonds in exchange of those defaulted on, replied with the question: “Could these other bonds be sold?” Report Is Denied. A published report that Mr. Hoover was considering further consultation with President-elect Roosevelt on the debts was met with flat denial at the c White House. Despite the expectation the Presi- dent would recommend creation of a debts commission in his forthcoming message on the debts, there was no prospect that Congress would approve it, and it was definitely learned the administration has no intention at present of setting up any unofficial agency of the sort without congres- sional authority.
