up the subjects Of war debts and world

light on the negotiations between his
government and President Roosevelt.
He declared that the world economic

unless the war debt difficulties have
been removed before it comes to an
end. He said that ON this there Is

mier asked parliament to hush up dis

feet of which would be to increase the
security Of European nations and the
safety of threatened nations against

would soon be made In Washington to
that effect.
President Roosevelt presumably
agrees with Macdonald concerning
the necessity Of settling the war debts.
he sent to congress a message asking
that he be given authority to deal with
the other nations In settling the debt
issue. at least temporarily. Secretary
of State Hull admitted that the debt
matter would be taken up concurrent
" with the issues before the economic
conference, but both he and MacDon-
aid insisted 1t would not form part of
the conference discussion. Macdonald
said the June Is due date on debts

u. S-Russan Problem May Be Decided in Two Hours

The Government of the Re
public believes in the possibility of
a general agreement between our
two countries of which the re-
sumption of diplomatic is but a
preface"
And Premier Macdonald of
Great Britain, in explaining to
the house of commons why he
had exchanged ambassadors with
Moscow, declared that there was
no other way ever to settle all
the outstanding problems between
the two countries. Without rec
ignition, he said wildly, he could
get nowhere with these problems
no even If he lived TO the age
Of Methuselah."
1t is not believed the President
and Foreign Minister Litvinof
will haggle over details. A yes or
no can settle everything these
two need to discuss. Their ex-
perts can take care of the rest.
The President therefore is ex-
pected to follow pretty closely the
precedents set by Britain, France
and the other great powers.
