GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE MAY
 NOT PAY DEBTS
They Will Surely Not Pay Full Am0unt--T0kens
 May Be Sent
(CopyrIsht Io34, by United Press ]

Copyright 1884, by United Press )
 London, May 11-(UP)-Adam mt refusal of Amorica's two lead- Ing war debtors, Great Britain and France. to pay In full the debt in. stalments duo Juno 15, was res nocted authoritatively today In London and Paris. Sober rcallz1 ton that to offer a token payment as the situation now is, would moan classification on the Amcri. cnn securities market as financial untouchnblcs left British and French opinion firm against re. sumption of full payments June IL or later.
 Tho situation In the two capitalS was summarized in high quarters ns follows: Great Brltain--Unlesi reduction negotiations are opened probably will offer Il token pay. mont even if 1t means being do. ciared In default, as tho mere offer would in British opinion. show good faith. France--1nclined more and moro toward making a token payment to avoid being declared In default. but prefers default to full payment because bankers say it would Dc impossible Co transfer $b5, 100000 Juno 10 In view of bud. get difficulties.
 Neither cabinet has discussed tho problem since the Washington rul- Ing that token payments would not remove tho default stigma. It wus learned authoritativoly here and in Paris that neither will do so be- fore next week. It Is regarded us certain that Britain, France and Italy will exchange views. The ex- change would be highly secret. It Is unlikely that the British govern. ment dare to pay tho full $85,670,. 900 of tho June 1b instalment. Tho public k bitterly opposed to paying in full. Brltain's position in one sense Is strong, because 1t is almost certain that n British default would mean q world default, ex. cept for Finland.
