Following a second meeting of the

with the Italian commissioners sent
here to negotiate a funding of the
Italian debt, Mario Albert, technical
expert of the Italian commission, re-
turned to Rome to obtain additional
data on Italy's ability to pay. The
negotiations here will be resumed
about the first of August. One result
of the conferences with the Italian
commissioners so far is that Italy has
virtually committed herself to a fund
ing policy, and this is expected to en-
courage Belgium, France, Czechoslo-
vakia and Jugoslavia to begin similar
negotiations.
The council of ministers of France
last week approved a plan to send a

vailing view in France is that nego-

debt to the United States and to Great
Britain should be settled without de-
lay. 1t is realized in France, it is
stated, that speedy funding of her
debt is the only way to obtain favor

paper Diario de Noticias today prints
a protest against the report of the

cusation against member If the

that the League of Nations will not
discuss his report at the coming
