BRITAIN TO SEEK
- WAR DEBT SLASH
Secretary Hull Announces
i Discussions VIII Open
Early In October.
~ the Associated Press.


With another war debt payment Of
&l27.670,765 due from Great Britain De-
cember Is, Secretary Of State Hull an
nounced yesterday, preliminary discus
sions of the subject Of war debts would
begin with the British early in October.
Sir Frederick Leith-RoSs, chief eco
nomic advisor to the British govern
ment, it was said at the State Depart
ment would come to Washington about
October l to discuss the obligation.

partial advance OF $l0,000000 in silver
on its $75 $50. 900 installment last June,
but prior to that had paid in full
The Secretary OF State did not know
whether Sir Frederick would be accom-
panied by other experts, because the
United States had not been advised
about the details of the British arrange

Was With Macdonald.
Sir Frederick accompanied Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald to Wash
ington last April for the debt and eco
nomic discussions with President Roose-
welt at the White House in preparation
fOR the London Economic Conference
He remained in Washington for some
time after Prime Minister Macdonald
returned to Great Britain and engaged
in extensive discussions on economic
subjects with American Government
experts.
Great Britain will probably be the
first of the European debtors to nego-
tiate for revision Of the agreements
under which they are obligated 10 pay
ff1a TTnifQi al al
lion dollars.
Britain's total obligation to the
United States under its funding agree
ment is about four and half billion
dollars and it has paid in excess of two
billion dollars
Great Britain and other powers
which made partial payments ON their
ipstallments last June renewed their
plea for revision of their agreements
and asked for further opportunity to
explain the impossibility of meeting
their obligations under present eco
nomic conditions.
Roosevelt Against Cut.
The debtor nations wrote down the
amount of reparatiuns they were claim
ing from Germany By 80 per cent on
condition that the United States revise
its claims against them.
While the united states mas never
been officially asked to scale its claims
down by 80 per cent. which would re-
duce the total TO slightly more than one
billion dollars, that settlement has been
suggested frequently in speeches Of
European statesmen and by the Euro
pean press.
Congress is ON record against cancel
lation or further revision OF the war
debts. Former President Hoover took q
stand against any mass action Of Euro
pean debtors and insisted that the
powers should present their arguments
separately
President Roosevelt took the same
stand and has repeatedly expressed q
Willingness to hear what the nations
which are not in default have to say
individually about the revision of their
debt settlements.

Feared Cespedes Was Weak.

The administration insiders running
the Cuban puppet show became panicky
few days back.
Their private advices indicated the
Cespedes regime might have difficulty
protecting American lives and property.
Probably the danger was OvereStimated,
but they could not take chance. II
Cespedes could not handle the situation,
the responsibility would fall heavily
on them.
That Is why the swift decision was
made to send deStroyerS.
The men at the helm here are whis-
pering now that they knew CeSpedes
was weak They say they permitted his
installation because he was one Of the
few Cuban leaders on which all factions
could agree They expect him to serve
only short time-until the next elec-
ton.
Mrs. Rumsley Treated.
Mrs. Rumsley On r. A. consumers
counseD was carried to the sick bay in
the Commerce Department and kept
there several hours after her row with
Prof Ogburn. Employees were warned
| against telling about it.
The British diplomats privately called
State Secretary Hull Miss Priscilla
Dull which is high compliment
coming from them. The British deride
only those who have bested them.

BY PAUL MALLON.

The administration has let Senate,
Carter Glass in on It's secret writing
of a new bank bill.
He was told all about 1t before he
left for Europe with Admiral Cary
Grayson. He gave some advice about
it and undoubtedly will handle the
legislation at the coming December
session. His health is not very gooc
or he would have remained here te
help in the preparations.
1t Is too early yet to predict spe-
officially what the legislation will pro-
pose. The general purpose is to correct
defects which have developed and will
develop In carrying out the law passed
last Spring.
Unquestionably the bill will include
some sort of q modification OF the
Federal bank guaranty law. Senator
Glass never was strong for that provi-
sion anyway.
