No Definite Proposals Offered

Progress of the debt discus
sions with Soviet Russia have
been retarded 20 such an ex-
tent by ar inherent Salvonic
bargaining instinct that this
Government has been forced
to take sharp measures to
speed them up.
The Soviets, it was learned to-
day, have been notified informally
that this Government will grant
no credits to finance the develop
ment of trade with Russia until
the debt question has been set

Furthermore, discussions re-
garding extension of these credits
have been brought to a virtual
Standstill pending outcome Of the
debt negotiations.
AS a result, a definite proposal
in connection with payment Of
the debt and damage claims is ex-
pected from Moscow at an early
date.
Although the Soviets sometime
ago intimated their willingness to
speed up debt negotiations, they
have evaded putting forward any
definite proposal concerning the
amount they are prepared to pay
on the debt and damage claims.
estimated to total more than 700
million dollars.
Waited For Credit
It was suggested the obligations
on which payment was made
should not be defined specifically
and that this government should
take responsibility for distribu-
ting the money among claimants
here.
However, the Soviets kept avoid
ing any definite pronouncement
on the total amount they were
prepared to pay. At first. they
waited to see what arrangements
would be made to grant them
credits.
When the export-import bank
wa established, they still kept
beating around the bush until the
American negotiators came to
the conclusion they wanted some
credits actually extended before
they made any definite proposal
to pay.

anniversary of the Union in

jacket. The members of the
staff assisted.
The tea table was laid in the
dining room, in front of the
little conservatory which is filled
with palms and foliage plants.
It had a centerpiece of pink
lupins and blue delphinium,
which was exquisite. The silver
tea and coffee services at either
end fairly glistened, and orange
ade was served from a table
nearby.
Upstairs, buffet table was
arranged in the living room, and
here, highballs, cocktails, and
other delicious cold drinks were
served, among them a variety of
South African wines and some
very fine old brandy.

PRICE-FIxINC
LOSES GROUND
Cuts Authorized in Bids for
U. S. Contracts by
Roosevelt.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The
NRA's era of price-fixing seemed
definitely closing today under new
order by President Roosevelt issued
for the benefit of governmental
bodies ard consumers.
The President authorized COM
panies to cut prices as much as Is
per cent below code-flXed prices in
bids fer federal, state or local con-
tracts. The same low price, how
ever, must Immediately be made
available to the man on the street.
The effect of the order was seen
as an almost complete relaxation of
price control by the NRA. One i'm
portant safeguard was retained. If
competitors believe the concern has
resorted to unfair trade practices
to cut prices, they may obtain a
hearing before General Hugh S.
Johnson.
