AGREEMENT ON
J UG0 SLAYIA
DEBT REACHED
Settlement Completes Admin.
istratiOn's Debt Program
For the Present

Washington, May l.-P)-An
agreement was reached today for the
funding Of the $5l 100000 war debt
of Jugo Slavia to this country.
The settlement apparently conf
pleted the administration war debt
funding porgram SO far as it will be
possible to do so for the present. The
JugO Slavian terms, providing like
the others for payment over long
period Of years, is expected to go to
the capitol with II request for ratifi-
cation at this session OF congress,
and to take its place there immediate
ly behind the newly negotiated agree
ment with France.
These two are the only settlements
now awaiting congressional approval,
settlements with Italy, Belgium and
four other countries having been re-
Gently ratified.
Russia and several smaller coun-
tries have not yet funded their war
borrowings here, but the diplomatic
situation and other considerations
make negotiations Of settlements
with these nations unlikely for the
time being.
Settlement Of the French debt has
opened the way to France t1 nego..
tate for private loans in the United
States with the consent of the Wash
ingtOn government.
High administration officials dis
closed today that the federal govern
ment would approve Of such loans by
American bankers without. waiting
for ratification by the senate Of the
debt funding agreement.
Thus far no request for private or
other loans to France has been re-
ferred to Washington by American
financiers.
France is in need of gold reserve
for franc stabilization purposes, how
ever, and negotiations for an advance
of private American capital are re-
garded as probable.
