TO OFFER
A TOKEN PAYMENT
Transfer of Small Sum Would
Admit Validity of
U. S. Claim.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 12--Great Britain is
making new move tonight, reported in
government circles to involve a pro-
posal of a small token" payment to
the United States toward the Thursday
installment, to bring the war debts dis
cussion to crisis. An installment to-
falling $75,950,000 falls due.
The context of British note which
is. being dispatched tonight, 1t was said,
will be based upon information received
from the Ambassador as to its probable
reception.
A token" payment by the British
would involve transfer of an amount
less than the installment falling due.
1t would be tantamount to acknowl-
edgment that the payment was due and
that Britain recognized the validity of
the American claim.
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
was reported to have given his atten-
ton today to the debt question. He
had long talk with Mr.. Chamberlain.
Q. M. w. Sprague, executive assistant
to the United States Secretary of the
Treasury, was one of several visitors
to the British treasury. Some financial
advisers of the French delegation called
at about the same time
The four ministers comprising the
debts subcommittee Of the British
cabinet had short consultation after
a joint meeting of British Empire dele
cations to the world parley. The min
listers are Mr.. Macdonald, Mr.. Cham
berlain, Sir John Simmons, foreign sec
retary, and Walter Runciman, president
of the Board of Trade
The impression deepened in diplo-
matte circles that at yesterdays meet
ing the cabinet subcommittee had not
reached a definite conclusion and that
further consultations were going for
ward with Sir Ronald Lindsay, the
Ambassador at Washington.

-quired only $5o0,0o0 IN cash. Mr..
Minor also stated that title to the

newly formed Delaware corporation.
Pleads for More Time.
Mrs McLean's plea for time In which
to raise more money to buy the paper
was made through Attorney Charles
Evans Hughes, jr, of New York. Mr..
Hughes was introduced to the court by
Nelson T. Harrison, who represented
Mrs. MceLan at the public sale of the
Post early this month
j. Harry Covington, representing the
International Paper Co., principal
creditor of the Post, objected to Mr..
Hughes appearance unless he could
show that he represented party at
interest. Stating that he had been re-
tanned only during the past few days,
Mr.. Hughes said he represented Mrs.
Mclean and her minor children.
Mrs. Mclean" he said, lis keenly
desirous Of preserving the paper for her
sons. Through a man named Eric
Small she raised money to bid at the
auction sale and has since made dill
gent efforts to raise more money so
she might submit an offer substantially
in excess Of $825 ,000"

Mr.. Hughes stated, however, that he
was not in position to assure the
court OF higher price, but expressed
the hope that confirmation of the sale

CUTTING LAUNCHES

Plan Seeks to Stipulate BY
Law Some of Promises
in Roosevelt Letter.
By the Associated Press.

oy the ASSOClateQ RreSS.
Thrusting the veterans question
squarely before the Senate as leaders
drove for adjournment, Senator Cutting,
Republican, of New Mexico, today
opened fight for a substitute for the
House administration compromise on
relief payments to former soldiers.
In taking the floor to urge the sub
stitute, which he Is advocating with
Senator Steiwer, Republican, of Oregon,
Cutting told colleagues he intended to
move to instruct Senate conferees on
the Independent sofhces bill containing
the veterans provision ito insist" on the
substitute proposal. ss.;~s.ss.sss5s~~--=sss :.
The Cutting- g-Steiwer, plan seeks to
stipulate by law some of the promises
contained in President Roosevelt's let
ter to the House Democratic Steering
Committee to take care the so-caHed
presumptive cases, and provides that re-
ductions to veterans injured in service
shall be limited to IS per cent, as orig
inally approved by the Senate IS
Protects Spanish Wsr Vets 3
One basic differences Between the
House-approved compromise and the
Cutting-Steiwer proposal is that the lat
ter specifies that no compensation
Spanish American War veterans or de-
pendent were receiving before the econ
omy law bcame effective, March 20,
shall be cut more than Is per cent, re-
gardless OF any provision OF the econ
omy law.
This is intended to remove the re-
quirement that Spanish War veterans
prove their injuries, ailments or disabil-
tiles originated in service.
The only guarantee we have con-
corning the Spanish-American War vet
erans," Cutting said, "is contained in
a letter from the President to the spe-
cial Democratic Committee of the
House"
The amendment seeks to return ben
eflts to the so-called "presumptive"
cases Of veterans, whose injuries, all
ments or disabilities under the old law
were presumed to be the result of their
war duty.
Boards to Review Claims.
Boards would be set up by the Presi-
dent to review the claims of the pre-
sumptive classes and determine, ION all
available evidence, whether service con-
nection shall be- found in such cases."
The substitute provided that "in no
event" shall compensation to dependents
of dead veterans be reduced or discon-
tinued whether the compensation was
awarded directly or presumptively on
service connection
Senator ByrneS, Democrat, of South
Carolina, in charge of the independent
Offices bill he said, would not accept
