TOFUND DEBTS.
Foreign ENJOYS Will Approach
Administration With New
Policy on Loans.

LONDON. Feb. 25-rhe proposed
cancellation Of war debts II not TO
be extended TO Greece. An Exchange
Telegraph dispsptch from Athens
today said that Great Britain and
France have sent notes to Greece
demanding repayment of the war
time loans
Foreign envoys will approach
President-elect Harding and his
Cabinet soon after inaugural day,
with overtures for funding of debts
due this Government. This was in
dicated by advices which reached the
Treasury today
ENJOYS EN ROUTE.
Foreign governments which have
not already sent their spokesmen to
Washington have their missions en-
route, and the prospect is that the
principal allied governments will be
ready to enter upon the debt parleys
almost at the outset of the new ADJ
ministration.
From present indications the ne
gotiations must Of necessity be con-
Quoted by this Government separately
with the other powers. The British
ambassador, Sir Auckland Geddes, re-
turned here several days ago, en-
powered to resume negotiations over
the British debt. He has indicated
to officials here that he will defer
making any further move until the
next President has assumed power.
Both Italy and France also will
carry on at the same time separate
conferences with officials both OF the
Treasury and State departments. The
Italian ambassador has been named
by the Italian government to act in
all negotiations. The mission repre-
senting the French government is ex-
pected here within a few days.
TO DEFER INTEREST.
Great Britain, France, and Italy, ac-
cording to reports reaching the Treas
ury, expect to convert the demand
notes" now held by the United States
for the loans made during the war
into longtime obligations with
reasonable deferment of interest pay
ments. The tentative plan of the
| three powers Is to spread the interest
| as it accrues across several years,
| adding the same to the principal from
year to year. until rehabilitation in
| the three countries has reached
stage to warrant curtailment both of
| the principal and interest
The Wilson Administration will not
| figure in any way in the Forthcoming
| negotiations, except possibly to fur
nish information on the status of the
loans. Some officials, notably Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Houston, is ex-
pected to confer with the new heads of
the Treasury and State departments
and lay before them all the data in his
possession, and to explain the various
| steps thus far taken in negotiations
with foreign representatives.

PLACE GOVERNMENT
ON BUSINESS BASE
HARDING WILL NOT HESITATE
TO CHANCE OFFENDING A.
CLASS OF POLITICIANS.
SPEAKS At PUBLIC LUNCHEON
"Task to be Successfully Completed
Requires Determined, stony-Heart-
ed and Persistent Devotion"

New York-The administrations pur-
pose to place the federal government
on a sound business base, even at the
cost of offending "a certain class OF
politicians" was re-af1rmed by Presi-
dent Harding in an address here at a
luncheon of the Academy of Political
Science.
The task, the President declared, al
ready had shown that, to be success
fully completed, would require ''per-
sistent, determined, stony-hearted de-
votien to the public interest" without
a trace of sympathy for the off1cehold-
er whose only excuse for drawing a
salary is that he needs the money.
Loss of a certain sort of prestige to
the administration, Mr.. Harding said,
was certain to result though it might
be compensated in the long run by
realization of the good accomplished
for the general public.
Recapitulating the work already
done by the reorganization commits
sion created by congress and by exc
cutive orders of the administrati ton,
the President said considerable pro-
gress was promised for the immediate
future.
