"Press of Business" in Lon

CreWe Tells Ambassadors.
QUALIFIED Optimism
EXHIBITED BY ALLIES
Believed, However, Germans Still
Seek Loophole to Avoid
Payments.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 20.-The meeting
OF the council of ambassadors called
for o'clock this afternoon will not
be held. it was announced shortly
after pm. Lord Crewe. the British
ambassador. notified the secretariat
that his government, owing to stress
of business, was unable to communi-
cate his instructions in time for to-
days meeting. The instructions are
expected to arrive in season for a
meeting tomorrow.
After six days of negotiations. four
meetings and five adjournments, the
ambassadors council has hit on a
compromise formula for dealing with
Germany, which, even If it only post
pones the evil hour of decision, as
many MAINTAIN, at least also postpones
break in the allied front.
The feeling here today was just as
optimistic as it was pessimisitc yes
terday. for the agreement to send a
note to Germany has been fully in
dorsed by the French and Belgian
cabinets. and, Judging from the tone
of London, Will be indorsed by the
British
II was DeleVeQ mere this morning
that the agreement on the proposed
note, in which the allies viii demand
that their military control officers
shall be allowed to function under
adequate protection, would be COM
pleted before the end of :he after
noon.
The qualified optimism whicn pre-
Vailed in official circles this morning
as to the outcome of the council meet
ing was fortified by news from Lon
don received in diplomatic quarters
and held to indicate there was 10
longer doubt that the ambassadors
would agree on text for the note to
Germany which will momentarily
save the entente.
There is marked skepticism. however,
as to the effect of the note on the
German government The most i'm
portant element of the situation which
would remain unchanged by agree
ment among the entente powers. and
concerning which the government
ojcials observe great discretion, is
that the gulf between France and
Great Britain is considered to re-
main unbridged and that Germany
is still able to count upon disagree
ments among the allies and in the
French view, to speculate on encour-
agement from London to resist the
payment of reparations.

ALLIES PAYMENT
Of DEBTS DUE j. S.
WOULD AID BONUS
Favorable Action by Congress
Seen if Obligations
Were Met.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Coincident with the demand Of the
ex-service men that they be given
adjusted compensation, there is be-
ginning to develop sentiment for
frank understanding with the
allies as to the payment of their war
debts.
The commission created to arrange
teams with the European debtors Is
responsible to Congress. The settle
ment made with Great Britain Is
the only outstanding achievement
of the commission. 1t has nothing to
report concerning the probable pay
ments by France and Italy.
Diplomatic niceties have prevented
the presentation thus far of a re-
quest for payment. Gestures have
been made by France anu Italy in
the last three years indicating that
they were studying the subject, but
been furnished the American gov
ernment.
No Interest Being Paid.
Meanwhile, with the exception of
Great Britain, no interest is being
paid. If the European debtors would
arrange to pay that interest, the
United States government could prob
aDly TO DeSln TO pay Il DOHuS 10 ltS
sailors and soldiers. AS 1t is,the United
States Treasury is paying that inter-
est to the holders of liberty bonds
whose money was originally lent to
the allies. To obtain the sums needed
for ipterest payments on liberty
bonds the Treasury Department col
lects income taxes from seven and a
half million American citizens. If the
interest payments on liberty bonds
were not on the list of government
.l,lf
greater reduction in taxes than Sec
retary Mellon has proposed. But ir-
respective of that, the conservative
estimates as to the cost of the bonus
are about equivalent to the sums that
are due annually from the European
allies for their war debt.
In the collection of money from
France. the United States faces a diff
ficult situation. for the French are
inclined to consider the debt to Amer
not even made provision In any of
their annual budgets since 1918 for
the payment of the interest due to the
United States.
France Seeks Reduction.
has been that they could not begin
to pay America until money was
forthcoming from Germany, and they
have tried to persuade the United
States to agree to a reduction in the
debt due America, or at least a post
ponement until money begins to come
in from Germany on reparations.
With this viewpoint there has been
no official sympathy here. but it has
been realized nevertheless that the
German reparation question makes
difficult the funding of the French
debt. What has aggravated the situ-
alton lately, however, Is that the
French government has begun to lend
money to some of the smaller coun-
tries in central Europe to equip their
armies and make them fast and firm
allies of the French. The amounts
sent to central Europe would go a
long way toward paying the interest

 PR|CS FOR YEAR
Move To Lower Ground Due Largely To Unsettled Mar

NEW YORK, July 1.-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-New low prices for the year were recorded by a large list of bonds during the past week. Except for occasional and brief pe- riods investment issues held rela- lively firm and few individual in stances of moderate gsens were noted. On the whole, however, bonds moved to lower ground, largely as a result of unsettled conditions in the stock market.
 Some of the selling of active may be traced to the fact the amount of these issues exempted from taxation under the income tax law will be reduced July 3 from S160. 900 to $55,000. This would not however account for the selling of the tax-exempt S12s, which also moved lower.
 Foreign Issues Yield.
 Almost without exception foreign government bonds yielded to the selling pressure of the past week, extreme losses amounting to 3 points. European bonds reacted to the down. ward trend more readily than did those of South American countries. In fact, buying of the Mexican issues after announcement that formal call for their deposit would be issued July ,, carried these securities pack to approXi mately the same level as a week ago.
 There were a few instances of ad- vances among liens of industrial companies, such as Colorado Fuel. Dery Dry Goods.
