CONGRESS AWAITS
 ACTION IF FRANCE
 TOWARD WAR DEBT
HERE'S MESSAGE BRINGS GEN ERAL, FAVORABLE
 REACTION

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. (P) - Congress is going to wait and see what France will do with diSarm- ament separations before it listens to President Herbert Hoover's re- quest fo a reconsideration of war debts.
 Capitol Hill leaders arc distinct ly cautious over the Presidential proposal of temporary adjust ments" of debts owed America. Some are antagonistic, until 1t is evident or until Europe has show Fed good intentions toward arms reductions at the approa aching Geneva barley in- February.
 Until France has indicated how far she is willing to go in slicing German reparations there is no hope of Congressional action Sen ator Borah, whose words go long way in the impending dis cussion, said.
 l Senator Borah said: T am not in favor of recreating tho World Foreign debt commission as there Is no business to transact. I do not see any evidence in Europe for a proposed reduction of arms
 or she would have proposed to
 adjust reparations upon a proper
 basis"
 Sentiments, somewhat similar to
 Borah's, were voiced in the House by Democratic leaders.
 1 Hooyer's message brought, gen.
 erally speaking, favorable reac-
 tion in Germany, England and It ally but French newspapers gave
 little attention to it. Parliament ary circles of London accepted the message as 3 sign of hope in the
 economic difficulties of the world and the belief was expressed that l it indicated that the United States
 while not committing itself, recog- 7 nizes the debt questions life as !, the root of world conomic troubles.
