Debt Refunding
Agreement Likely
Within Next Week
Rapid Progress Reported in
Negotiations Between Rep.
resentatives of u. S.
and Great Britain.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Conversa-
tons between the British and Ameri-
can debt commissioners progressed to
a point where it is believed the matter
of the terms Of the settlement of Great
Britain's debt of more than four bill
lions of dollars can be approached at
the next session on Monday. An agree
ment in principle ,at least, still is
forecast before the end of the next
week. at which time the British COM
missioners plan to depart for Lon
don.
An Official spokesman for the COM
missions declared after todays ses-
sion that the general situation had
been very thoroughly explored and
that great deal of progress had
been made. 1t was emphasized that
particular care had to be taken that
the settlement finally made would
not recreate serious fluctuations in ex,
change and international trade
In the negotiations thus far. con.
siderable attention has been given to
the form of repayment of the princi-
pal of the debt and it was indicated
than an annual installment plan had
been uppermost in the conversations
Ion this particular point. Whether
there will be a deferment of the yearly
payments on account of principal un-
til Great Britain has more fully re-
covered from the industrial de-
preston in which 1t now finds it's
self, remains TO be determined.
While the method of meeting the
annual payments to the American
government will be through the pur-
chase of exchange in the markets of
the world, it was reiterated that funds
for such purchases must come from
British internal revenues. 1t was
pointed out that Great Britain had
balanced its budget and cut expendi-
lures right and left and the belief was
held that as time went on and British
wealth increased and government ex-
penditures decreased, payments could
be met without actually increasing the
burden of taxation on the British
people.
