WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.
Whether a commission
should be constituted to re-
survey war debts today be.
came the dominant question
in that dispute.
To congressional leaders
assembled by him in the cabi-
net room, President Hoover
suggested such agency to go
over the field but without
authority to revise or cancel
any of the $1,000, 600. 600
owed this country.
Immediately ON leaving
the meeting, democratic con-
|ferees went to the hotel
quarters Of President elect
Roosevelt where views were
exchanged.
The democratic Legislators
stccred clear of any commit
ment on the presidents sug-
gested commission.
There was a general agree
mcnt, however, that If the
commission is created il will
be with the understanding
the act cntailed no obligation
by this country to revise or
cancel debts.
