Gen. johnson told newSmen yester-

administration could do nothing more
to make it best seller than to de-
lay it's publication"
If the truth comes out about
N. r. A., Congress dare not go home

he went on, adding that the Darrow
board was made up of administra-

PRESIDENT AWAITS ANSWERS.
Believes Debtor Nations Must Make
Next Move.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt definitely as
sumed the position today that the
game is up to the European debtor
nations
Through diplomatic channels the
President has informed Great Britain,
France, Italy, Belgium and Czecho-
slovakia that the United States is
willing at least to discuss any individ-
ual suggestions for payments ON or
readjuStment of their debts.
The debtor nations have learned
from their envoy here, however, that
the President is adamant against any
general conclave of nations for whole
sale revision of debts
They have been informed also, that
the President cannot again definitely
assure token-payers that they are not
in default under the terms of the
johnson act.
Behind the strict Interpretation
given the johnson act-banning de-
faulters from this country's money
markets-is the Presidents determi-
nation to arrive at an equitable set
tlement of the debt problem rather
than a continuance of drop n-the-
bucket payments.
There is in official circles here a
strong belief that most, at least, of
the debtor nations have the resources
to pay their debt installments if they
so choose.
The Presidents view. it is said au-
thoritively, is that when individuals
feel they cannot meet their obliga-
tons they 60 to their creditors and
make full and complete factual ex-
PLANTATION. Debtor nations, he feels,
should do likewise.
The promised debt message to Con-
gress, Mr.. Roosevelt said, will be with
held for about 10 days. This is cal
culated to let debtors come forward if
they desire.
Mr.. Roosevelt has given no hint
OF the nature of the message, but
In well informed circles 1t was pre-
dicted that he would make definite
suggestions leading toward debt settle
ments and not merely transmit a
financial report on the status of each
nations debts.
Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British
Ambassador, and Ferdinand Veverka,
the CZechoslovakian Minister, con-
ferred on the debts question with
Undersecretary Phillips at the State
Department yesterday.

England Officially Notified
of American Position
Under Johnson Bill.
NO CONCRETE PROPOSAL
MADE FOR SETTLEMENT
Opinion of Foreign Secretary Sir
John Simon Expected to
Guide Answer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May l2.-The United
States has notified Great Britain that
a token payment OIL. the war debts
inStallment due in June would be re-
garded as evidence of default, it was
learned officially today.
Notification vas given through the
British Ambassador at Washington
Sir Ronald Lindsay, by Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull
Sir Ronald informed his govern
ment of the United States decision
in lengthy cable received just before
noon today.
Secretary Hull notified the envoy
he reported to the foreign office,
that the johnson bill makes it nee
essary for America to regard token
payments by any nation as default.
Under the Johnson bill the money
markets of the United States are
closed against all nations which de-
fault on their war debts.
No Settlement Proposal.
The British Ambassador said no
concrete settlement proposal had been
offered Great Britain by President
Roosevelt.
It was indicated Foreign Secretary
Sir John Simon and Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald would study the
situation in the light Of Sir Ronald S
message early next week.
Action on the notification over the
week end was considered improbable.
In Downing street, it was reiterated
after receipt of the Ambassadors S
cable that the British government Is
ready to negotiate for settlement OF
the debt question, but that the first
move must come from President
Roosevelt
Sir John Backed.
The British generally backed up
Sir John today in scorning the sug-
pestion that because John Bull is
jingling some extra coins in his jeans
these days he should lay them down
to pay war debts.
A widespread feeling was evident
that the times are too tough to
warrant payment of any kind-even a
token payment-on the installment
due the United States June IS.
Sir John ragged Indignantly yester-
day at Manchester against persons
in the United States who see in Brit
aims budget surplus an indication of
her ability to pay.
The popular opinion today seemed
to be that the surplus in the budget
entirely concerns British citizens, be-
cause Of the extraordinarily high
taxes In this country.
It was assumed Sir Johns remarks
were made to sound out midland
opinion. The government wants to
make certain that any action on the
debts reflects the views of all Sec
tions.
Some quarters expressed be44ef the
rising tide of comment in Washing
ton relative to the war debts is chief
