the Administration to the allied debt
refunding bill as amended by the Sem

Secretary Mellon, who was before. HE
committee, said he would rather have
had a bill without the twenty-five year
maturity and AZ per cent minimum in
terest rate limitation. but that 1t would
be feasible to go ahead with the re-
funding negotiations, and If these linn
itations proved insurmountable in the
case of some countries, additional au-
thority could then be asked of Con-
gress.
1t was understood that the President
objected to these limitations as written
in the Senate following agreement on
them by the Republican majority in
party conference. 1t was said the at
tention of the committee had been
called that in the case of some of the
debtor NATIONS. particularly the smaller
and the newly formed ones, 1t might be
necessary TO defer maturity of the re-
funded obligations for fifty years in
stead of twenty-five years, and that
where the loans were to extend over
such long period it might be desirable
to fix the interest rate as low as per
