It credited Mellon with the intention of tell- ing President Hoover of the ur- gent demand for reduction or oan- collation.. Mellon sailed for New York last week with his son.

 The Daily Express, commenting on Senator Borah's statement on international debts, said it would be premature Ito read into Borah's words a new determination of the American people to face the war debt problem in a realist way. The immense volume of American pub lie. opinion is still rigid against even revision. However, we should say that Borah is a considerable straw in the wind now beginning to blow" SC
