Cite FutiIity of Efforts at
Final Debt Pact

Failing in it's effort to OBJ
tain reduction of its 81, $780,
100000 debt to the United
States, the British Government
has decided to make another
"token payment" on Deem
Der Is, next.
The December TOKEN" $780,
900, will be paid in United
States currency, on an obligation
due on that date Of some SOL
900 900. Last June. the British
government made a taken pay
ment of $1O,0O0,000. The me-
-dium Of payment on that occa-
sion was silver.
Thus, Britain escapes the onus
of complete default which has
characterized the policy Of
France and her continental
allies.
statements issued
Simultaneous announcement OF
the agreement to disagree in
the Anglo-American debt negoti-
atoms was made today in Wash
ington and London.
In Washington, Presi d n t
Roosevelt SSued a statement set
ting forth the situation. In Lon
don, Neville Chamberlain, chan
cellor of the exchequer, informed
the House of Commons Of the
decision to continue the token
method of payment.
! President Roosevelt said the
currency negotiations have been
conducted under great difficulty
because of the unprecedented
state of world economic and fl
nancial conditions. Therefore,
the discussions have been "ad-
journed" until commercial and
monetary conditions become more
clarified.
Validity Conceded
The British assured the United
States they recognized the valid
ity of the debt, and at the same
time were given Mr.. Roosevelt's
personal assurance that he did
not consider the British govern
ment in default for failing to
meet the entire amount due in
December.
The expectation is that Britain
will continue to make token
payments each installment date
in June and December, until such
time as the conditions referred
to by the President become more
suited to permanent adjustment
When that will be, no one cared
to predict today.
