Ramsay otherwise well-or.
Macdonald dered address, the
British prime minister suddenly in
PERFECTED the war debt issue. despite
the fact that it was not on the
.agenda of the conference. That ques-
,tion, he declared "must be dealt with
before every obstacle to general re-
.coyery has been removed. and 1t
must be taken up without delay by
the nations concerned. Lausanne
has to be completed and this vexed
question settled once for all In the
light of present world conditions"
Delegates from all parts of the
British empire and possibly those
from France were not surprised by
MacDonald's action. but Secretary
Hull and his brother delegates from
the United States did not attempt
TO conceal their displeasure with
what they considered at least a dis
play Of poor taste. Mr.. Hull was
soon In telephone communication
with Washington. and as a result
his address to the conference which
was to open the second day of the
.parley was postponed. Among the
.other speakers of that day, however,
were Guido Jung of Italy and Gen.
Jan Christian SHUTS of South At
srica, both of whom backed up Mac
Donald's stand.
"We firmly believe" Jung said,
-sthat there is preliminary prob
iem-intergovernmental debts aris-
ing from the war. An armistice was
signed for them at Lausanne. A
final settlement now is Imperative"
SHUTS was even more offensive to
Americans. frankly blaming the
United States for the deplorable
plight Of the world.
Chancellor of the EXchequer Ne
willie Chamberlain seconded the re-
marks of Macdonald about war
debts, and also said the crisis in
world economic conditions makes
restoration Of the gold standard abb
-solutely impossible at present. He
outlined British aims in the confer
ence as recovery of world prices,
greater stability of currencies and
abolition Of restrictions on interna-
tional exchange.
He favored multilateral treaties
for lower tariffs. provided the re-
-ductions were actual and tangible,
that they covered wide area, that
they did not impose undue sacrifices
ON lower tariff countries and that
they did not lead to economic war
fare. He emphasized the necessity
of cheap money.
WHEN Secretary Hull arose, the
- third day. to make his speech,
1t was expected he would make some
sort OF reply to the war debts de
mand. But he was silent on that sub
1ect. devoting much of his speech to
argument for a renewal Of the tar.
