By HENRY T. RUSSELL

London, Dec 13-(UP)-Great Britain notified the United States to-day that she will make the De- cember 5 debt payment of $95.- 500,000, but at the same time re- iterated her contention made in Sundays note that she would like to have the payment credited against future revised settlement, rather than to the existing debt agreement.
 The new note was not regarded here so much as embodying a "take 1t or leave it" attitude. but rather as a statement of Britain's position and what she wants. In other words, it is not an ultimatum containing a definite reservation which the United States must ac- cept or reject.
 Best informed opinion was that it is a case of offering to "pay now and talk later"

Copyrighted Dis p a i oh From Washington Says He Was Offered Secre- tary of the Interior

Sacramento, Calf. Dec 13--UP) The Sacramento Bee, in a copy righted dispatch from Washington today, said it had learned from an pnimpeachable source that U. s.
