His statement at a press conference

since the debt question was not in

doned efforts to reach decision.
The debt question, he added, re-

toward an amicable settlement broke
down.
officials here said they know of no
immediate plans to resume dis
eussions.
Phillips also replied to critics of the
trade agreement who saw in 1t the
ruin of the domestic manganese ore
industry, because of a duty reduction
granted in the Brazilian pact. which
may now be extended to the Soviet.
American manganese production. he
declared, amounted to only 10 per cent
of the total manganese consumed in
this country. The remaining 80 per
cent. needed by American industry,
he explained, will continue to be i'm
ported from other countries at half
