THIRTY-FOUR MOTIONS ON SHORT CALENDAR
Ramsay Macdonald Sails Next Week For
 The United States

arrangements for MacDonald's visit were made by Norman H. Davis. American diplomat who has just left London after several days con- fcrences.
 It may not have been necessary to extend to Macdonald formal invitation to come to Washington, as the United States two monhs ago advised Britain 1t would be glad to receive British statesmen for
 debt discussions any time after
 March 4.
 The British are understood to be
 especially anxious to have the con-
 ference convene before their June
 15 war debt payment comes due. There is no probability that final debt revision can be made before that date. But the British are said to feel that 1t will be easier to ob- tain a moratorium from the United States on their June payment if the conference, where America will be seeking certain concessions from Britain, Is under way when the re- quest for postponement is made.
 Meanwhile Secretary of State Hull is trying to lay a basis for a successful conference by conclud- ing a series of tentative Anglo American agreements. These un- doubtedly will be one of the most important subjects to be taken up by Macdonald in his proposed con- ferences herei It is possible that a agreement on the Brit ish debt may also be reached.

 "The principal danger of the sit uation seems that these people are completely unable 10 see them selves in any other light than that of an aggrieved power struggling for noble ideals against q world of political. financial and commercial conspirators. This feeling has reached stage of morbid hyster- ia."
 The government wired Ovey on March , that the Russian ann bassador in London had been told that public opinion is rightly de- termlned that British subjects shall not be cast in the role of victims of these heresy hunts" At the same time. Britain hinted trade negotiations might be terminated.
 On March 16, Ovey reported he had conferred with Litvinoff, who expressed the opinion that "too much noise" was being made. He said no threats would affect the Soviets in the slightest except per- haps to confirm their resistance"

NORMAN DAVIS IN PARIS

Paris, April 5.-UP )-Norman Davis, ambassa dor-at large con- ducting the new American admin istration's first major excursion in diplomacy, went into conference with Premier Edouard Daladier to- day determined to keep out of pit falls which some observers thought had been prepared for him by the French with the apparent collab- oration of the British.
 Davis was prepared to repeal Americas insistance that if a pro- jectcd preliminary meeting of the powers is held in Washington be- fore the world economic confer ence, a discussion of debts must be avoided as long as present trade barriers exist.
 The French, like the British, want to send experts to Washing ton ostensibly to prepare for the London economic conference, but actually to push for reduction of the debts owed America by Euro- pean powers.
 Davis was understood to envisage this program in his conference with Daladier: l. That an organ- izing committee meet shortly in London to prepare q program: 2. That France and Britain send ex- perts to Washington for bilateraI conversations on purely economic subjects; 3. That when the eco- homie conference convenes in Lon- ton.
