Their departure from England

To Seek Large Loan.
While the Germans went to
England primarily to discuss their
own situation. the British leaders
used the occasion to broach
their own troublous condition as

A joint communique issued by
the confereeS was devoted entirely
to the discussions on finances,
although it was known that some
Of the talk centered on disarma.
ment.
The first results of the twO-day
conferences were expected here to-
day to be evidenced by a move to
obtain an International loan for
Germany in order to lead her out
Of her present financial slough.
Such a loan was granted to Aus
tria in 1922.

AS it is understood that the
British warned their German
guests not to seal customs

here saw another move to hasten

d Discuss Threat of
Debts Cancellation

The critical situation arising
from Germany's world notice that
she can no longer carry her repa-
rations burden, constituting as it
does an indirect threat to the Al
lied debt payments to the United
States, was the subject of an
hours conference between PreSi-
dent Hoover and Secretary of
State StimSon today.
Neither the White House nor
the State Department would COM
ment on the situation. But there
was no indication of any change
in the American policy, eStab-
liShed by Charles E. Hughes, of
cosidering reparations and the
war debts as distinctly separate.
Government officials frankly
anticipate a renewed drive in
Europe for the cancellation, or
drastic scaling down, of war debts.
They are uncertain as to just
when and how it is to be started,
but they are certain it is coming.
