Britain Sends New Note

By United Press
LONDON, Dec. 13.-The British
government today agreed to pay
the war debt installment, due the
United States Thursday, but re-
served the right to demand subse-
quent examination of the entire
debts question.
A new note to Washington pub
lished here said the government
was prepared to pay lin light of
considerations outlined" in the note
OF Dec. IL.
Chief of these considerations was
that the United States agree to re-
view the entire debts problem in
the future.
The government must reserve
the right to recur these considera-
tons in examination of the whole
question, to which the United States
government has agreed" the note
said.
1T is not the intention of the
British government to touch upon
any matter affecting the constitu-
tional position of the United States
government" the note said.
1t referred to State Secretary H.
L. Stimson'S statement that Ameri-
can executives had no right to agree
to changes in condition of the debt
payment.
The note, therefore, should be
read solely as relating to their Ghe
British governments own position
which they have taken after mature
consideration, viz, they are pre-
pared to make the Dec. Is payment
in the light of considerations set
out in the note of Dec. IL"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The
United States government agreed
today to accept the British debt
payment Of sos, 55O,OOO due Thurs
day, after a White House confer
ence of high administration officials.
It was announced officially after
the White House conference that
this government and Great Britain
understood each others position re-
garding the current war debt pay
ment, and that there is no reason
why the treasury should not &C
cept it.
The note was discussed at the
White House cabinet meeting, and
was studied in detail later by finan-
cial experts of the state depart
ment.
The American decision clears the
way for London to make its Deem
Der debt payment of $95,550,000.
1t will maintain its own posi-
ton that the payment shall apply
on future war debts settlement
but this contention will not be adj
mitted in advance Of payment by
the United States.
The American government, mean
while, replied to a recent request
by Belgium for postponement of its
December payment and revision of
the fundamental debt. The reply
was understood to be adverse, save
for a promise for later review of
the debt agreement.
Payment by Italy of $1,245 437, its
current debt installment, was as
Sured.
