Debts Come to Fore.
The arrival of Jung today and the
coming OF Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, the
German representative, later in the
week, brings the question of war debts
and revision of treaties to the fore.
Jung is minister of finance and already
has said he will bring up the debts
problem.
Mr.. Roosevelt is known to believe the
time is not opportune for consideratlon
OF treaty IeNLSlOli, puI WIN ooeAA ~
MANY and Italy insisting that peace In
Europe can be established and main
tanned only by remaking the map de-
signed by the Versailles treaty, avoid
ance of that subject may not be easy. j.
The Presidents conversations last
week with Prime Minister Macdonald
and former Premier Herriot, however
we're notable, in so far as the joint COM
muniques were concerned, for the
absence of talk about treaty revision.
The Argentine representatives had q
long talk with Mr.. Roosevelt last night
at dinner at the White House, but 1t
was described afterward as purely social.
LIE Breton had met the President
briefly at tea in the afternoon. Be-
side the two delegates, members OF
the Argentine embassy staff and L.
Breton's private secretary, Juan Larl-
Were, were dinner guests.
