Treasury officials today said the
date of the Inauguration of the re-
funding negotiations could not be
determined until replies had been
received from the allied govern
ments. Negotiations with Great
Britain over the conversion of the
nations five billion dollar debt are
expected, however, to be started with
in the next few weeks.
The debt commission is yet with
out advices as TO how the foreign
governments will treat with it in
the funding negotiations.
Under the most favorable circum

was not thought possible that suf-
ficient payments of interest could be
obtained from Great Britain or any
other nation in time TO provide fol-
the payment of a soldiers bonus
Interest amounting to about 500,
COS 900, will become due from Great
Britain in November which of itself

for bonus purposes. 1t also was said
that such interest probably would
be needed to meet various govern
