WAR DEBT PARLEY
MAY Be DELAYED
Treasury Officials Indicate
Postponement Of Plans for.
Funding British Loan.
EXPERTS WILL BE AWAY
Secretary Hughes and Other
American Conferees Must Fill
Other Engagements,

Negotiations with financial reprel
sentatives of Great Britain for the
funding of that country's $1,000, ,o00.-
900 war debt to this country sched-
uled to begin early in September
may be deferred until the latter part
of that month;-'it was indicated at the
Treasury
Three members of the allied debt
funding commission will be away
from Washington during the first
part of September, it was explained.
and officials expressed the belief that
the British mission would not come
to this country until the American
body would have a majority available
for handling the negotiations.
According to present plans secre-
tary Hughes is to be in Rio de
Janeiro on September /. for the open
ing of the Brizilian centennial eX-
position, Secretary Hoover is to be
in Santa Fe. n. NJ. during the latter
part of August and early September
for the meeting of the Colorado
river commission. and Representative
of the Interparliamentary Union at
Vienna the first part of September.
The absence of these members of
the commission would leave in Wash
ington only Secretary Mellon, chair
man of the commission, and Senator
Smoot. Utah. Consequently OFF,
cials expressed the belief that Great
Britain would postpone sending
her financial experts here until a
working majority of the. American
commissioners would be present to
receive them.
Negotiations with French. already
begun with Jean V Parmentier. di-
rector of finance of the French treas
ury. il was thought. would have
reached stage by the latter part of
August to enable the three commits
sioners to leave Washington. M.
Parmentier. according to the view in
official circles. is not empowered to
conclude any final arrangements for
the funding Of the French debt, but
only TO discuss program which he
may submit to his government for
approval.
