WARM SPRINGS, Ga, January %
Sir Ronald Lindsay the British Am
hGzsador, arrived here at 1880 tonight
by automobile from Atlanta to confer
with President-elect Roosevelt on war
debts, economics and disarmament.
Awakening in the front seat of his
automobile upon arrival Sir Ronald
said he would have nothing to say
until after tomorroW's meeting with
Mr.. Roosevelt Because of the late ar
rival. no attempt was made for con-
ference tonight
The Ambassador was accompanied
from Atlanta by Mrs. Roosevelt; Elliott,
her son: Louis McHenry Howe, the Presi-
dent-elect's political secretary; Mrs.
Henry Morgenthau, jr., wife of one OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's advisers, and Gene vi
dal. former Army foot ball star and
friend of the Roosevelt family. All
had flown from Washington.
Welcomes Conference.
Ambassador Lindsay said in Atlanta
that the information Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
posed to reopen the discussion OF war
debts was the best news that England
and the world have had for a long
time"
He declared that the debt difficulties
of Great Britain and other nations are
q paramount cause of the worldwide
business inactivity Needless to say,
am hopeful of the outcome.
Il like the way President-elect Roose-
yelt does things 1t was late Friday
before l knew he wanted to see me
and of course l readily accepted MS
invitation. MI. Stimson arranged tor
the plane. and here 1 am. Twenty-four
hours ago 1 had not the slightest idea
I would be anywhere ether than IN
Washington
gap between administrations on foreign
affairs, President-elect Roosevelt TOOK
the initiative with the full co-operatlon
OF the outgoing Secretary OF otale'
Henry L. Sti,nson.
Invited Lindsay to Call.
With the International situation now
obviously in his control, Mr.. Roosevelt
asked Ambassador Lindsay to call at the
Little White House" on Pine Mountain
to go over in most general way the
E'dr QeDtS, WOTlQ eCUIlOHuS oliu OAo
armament problems now facing the TWO
governments.
A more complete understanding on
the fact that the Democratic President
elect intends to link the economic
problem very definitely with the March
discussions on war debts relief is prob
ably the basis for the invitation.
Word from Washington that Sir
Ronald was to leave for London on
tuesday was said by Mr.. Roosevelt to
have prompted the meeting. 1t gives
opportunity to convey in general outline
the ideas he has for restoration OF
world currency stabiliZation and trade
in return for the war debt relief asked
by Great Britain.
Most certainly, the Roosevelt word
today that economics and disarmament
were among the subjects for discus
sion links these topics with the I'M
pending debt relief talks.
Plays a Lone Hand.
Also, the meeting shows Mr.. Roose-
welt playing the lone hand he intends
to continue in the Forthcoming debt
negotiations. Because he will deal per-
sonally with the European debtors
there persists speculation that Ramsay
Macdonald, the British prime minister
may be the one to come to Washington
