Negotiations with
Belgium in August
Over Funding of Debt

washington. July 6-(AP)-The
American debt commission, for the
first time. has been compelled to ar
range a program designating periods
OF time in which 1t can meet with
representatives of debtor nations.
Announcement was made today
that the treasury was prepared to
negotiate with the Belgians on their
governments debt here between
| August 5 and August 16, alloting less
than two weeks to dispose of this
funding arrangement. Notice was
sent to the French embassy, simultan-
eously, that the commission could
meet with the delegation from Paris,
at any time before or after those
dates.
Ambassador Daeschner of France,
had requested the treasury to fix a
time when the commission from his
government could be received.
1t was noted that no time was des-
ignated for resumption of the Italian
negotiations with the expected return
to Washington of Mario Albert, one
of that governments commissioners.
, The result was a flood of new rumors
that the Italian negotiations were to
be delayed longer than had been in
dicated.
This turn in events also caused a
renewal of speculation as to whether
the American commission desired to
reach an agreement with the Italians
ahead of the Frenf t was sug-
gested unofficially az tie treasury
that there would be time for confer
ences with the Italians between meet
ings with other groups, but to OBJ
servers Of the policy thus far. the
suggestion did not carry conviction.
The treasury has resorted to the
utmos. secrecy in dealing with the
foreign debtors and as each new ne
gotiation has got under way an I'M
derstanding has been arranged for
bidding comment by participants in
the conferences. With respect to to-
days announcement comment was
with held on all phases except as to
the dates set and the notification to
the French ambassador.

Plea in Teapot Dome
Annulment Suit

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 6.-(AP)-
J Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy,
late today denied the motion OF
government counsel, Atlee Pomerene
and Owen J. Roberts, for a re-hear-
ing of Teapot Dome lease annull-
ment suit, on the ground that no
additional testimony for the govern
ment was available.
Jucse Kennedy also signed a de-
cree dismissing the lease annull-
ment suit against sthe Mammoth OIL
Company, entering the dismissal as
on June 10, the date of his decision
In the case.
Judge Kennedy in his decree Of
dismissal provided for the contlnu-
ance of the Teapot Dome receivership
until further orders while the appeal
from the decision is being taken by
the government to the eighth circuit
court of appeals. The government Is
given forty five days from June IL to
file its petition for appeal.
The government counsel sought TO
reopen the case to present addltlonal
testimony on the alleged transfer OF
Liberty bonds from the Continental
Trading Company%of Canada for
Harry F. Sinclair, to Albert B. Fall,
former secretary of the interior, who
negotiated the lease for the govern
ment. Their motion requested that
dispositions in connection with alleg-
ed transfer of liberty bonds be taken
in Toronto, Canada, and filed with
the court. SIS
Before the trial Of the Teapot Dome
case, government counsel endeavored
to secure these dispositions in regard
to the alleged Liberty bond transfer.
Judge Kennedy granted the govern
ment a continuance of the trial from
February 26 to March for the secur-
ing of this evidence. but the refusal
of the H. S. Osler Trading Company
president to answer part OF the ques-
lions put to him defeated the govern
ment's move. The Canadian courts
have since ruled that he must answer
all the questions.
