NO COMMENT MADE HERE.

Treasury and State Department off,
Gals had no comment to make today
on speculation in London over the pos
Sibility of Secretaries Mellon and Slim
son participating in international repa-
rations and war debt discussions.
At both departments, however, it was
recalled that the previously stated opin-
ions of the two would seem to indicate
their forthcoming visits to Europe had
nothing to do with such a conference.
Secretary Mellon left Washington
Saturday to begin his vacation and
Treasury officials declined to say when
he would sail for England, where he
will visit friends before going to
France They said his vacation plans
were made before the question of re-
opening reparations discussions was
brought up and that they did not
believe his visit had anything to do
with the matter.
Secretary Stimson said last week the
American position regarding war debts
and reparationS had been stated so
often he saw no reason to repeat it,
In the past war debts and reparations
have been considered as separate and
distinct questions.
There were no indications what had
been discussed by StimSon and his
economic advisers, who were sum-
moned Immediately after the German
reparations manifesto was issued.
