No matter what the disposition of the debt payments of $144,180,- 000 due June 15, or of the ap- proximately $25,000,000 which: was defaulted on Dec. 381 by France, Belgium and Poland, few observers have little hope of ‘a conclusive ‘settlement at © present. U. S. View Apparently Unchahiged There has been no announced change in the official position of the government that payments are expected June 15, despite con- siderable opinion that France, owing $40,738,000 aside from the $19,000,000 she defaulted Dec. 81; Belgium, owing $6,325,000) June 15 as well as her default, of $2,125,000 on Dec. 31, and other] ! nations will refuse to pay the amounts now falling due. just have gotten urider way when June 15 comes around, and few} foreign trade has declined so far, tend to derange European observers believe the war debt discussion that will develop then can help but affect the conference considerably.

Some ecrnomists hold that, in effect, America lent money to Europe with which she paid on her war debt account.

The tender Poppy, which came off the ways Saturday, was assign- duced the principal, they say. , Those demanding payment, ad- thatthe principal has--n been reduced, emphasize that the interest charged is much smaller. than affixed at the time of lend- ing. Most of the money was lent as percentages running from 4 to 5, while the average rate now is un- der 3. This, they argue, repre- sents.a sizable contribution, es- pecially since America received the: money to lend Europe from her own citizens and is still pay- ing it back at interest rates aver- aging about 4 per cent.
