DEBT NEGOTIATIONS.
WITH CzECHS BEGIN.
Differences in Figures Taken
Up in Conference as
ParIey Opens.

Funding negotiations over Czecho-
slovakias $117.000.o00 debt to the
United States opened this morning
with a brief formal session between
the two commissions. following which
DIR. Vilem Pospisil, head of the visit
ing commission, and Secretary Gar
rard B. Winston of the American
Commission went into conference on
details.
Indications were that these two
would Immediately get down to busi-
ness. Difference of opinion as to the
principal Of the debt exists between
the two countries, but this question
was not taken up in the brief open
ing session today.
In the meeting of the two experts,
however, it was thought probable
that this difference would be one of
the first questions considered.
Another Conference Set.
After their morning conference It
was announced that the two would
probably get together again this after
noon to continue a conference, going
over figures"
No time had been set early this aft
ernoon for a joint meeting of the two
commissions.
The formal meeting of the two
groups. which occupied less than hall
an hour, was understood to have beer
given over largely to formal opening
of the negotiations and exchange OF
greetings.
Confidence already has been ex
pressed in American circles that sue
cess will come out of the debt parle.
with Czechoslovakia, although official:
admitted, of course. no definite predic
tions could be made.
Budget Well Balanced.
The little republic carved out OF
the middle of Europe following the
World War is, according to American
records. progressing in it's nationa
life. Details of its financial position
have not been revealed. but officials
here said the Czechoslovakian budget
was balanced and that the republic
was forward in every particular.
The reason for the difference OF
opinion over the amount of the
Czechoslovakian debt has not beer
disclosed. The American figure stands
as of May Is at $117.679 ,095.7O, in
Guiding interest of something more
than $25.O00 900. calculated at the
rate of 5 per cent. This percentage
would in all probability be curtailet
in any funding agreement reached
AS all seven of the agreements alread,
concluded have lowered the accrued
interest rate below per cent.
The visitors. however, said in cor
respondence prior to the arrival O
the commission that their obligation

Difference Taken Up.
1t was this difference which the tw,
experts were understood to have ap

questions for consideration.
