ATTITUDE OF NATIONS


 WASHINGTON, D. O., June 24.- President Hoover's suggestion for a one year moratorium of war debts and reparations has brought action from two governments
 The French Cabinet has com pleted the text of its reply.
 Premier Laval said he would present the reply today to United States Ambassador Edge. The Pre- mier refused to discuss the contents of the reply, it is said.
 Italy has accepted the proposal : but Premier Mussolini is reserving the liberty of making '.observa- tions" of it's application later.
 UNCONDITIONAL AGREEMENT
 WASHINGTON, D. O., June 24.- Indications were that substantial agreements might be expected only from Germany and Great Britain cn President Hoover's moratorium proposal.
 Washington has heard discussions intimating possible reservations by France, Italy and Belgium.
 Official quarters here fear that any reservations will delay comple- ton necessary to preliminaries and prevent speedy consummation of Hooyer's avowed intention to stinlu- late world business by suspendlng war debts and separations for one year.
