TRIP
Of NJ DONALD
DOUBTED
international News Service


The State Department was
puzzled today by the persistency
of rumors from London that j.
Ramsay Macdonald, lord presi-
dent of the council in the re.
shuffled British government, plans
to pay q goodwill visit to the
United States.
Two factors were particularly
puzzling to officials here. First,
the persistency of the rumors,
leading to the belief Mr.. Mac.
Donald might be nibbling for an
invitation from President Roose-
velt.
Secondly, why the British gov
ernment should want to send Mr..
Macdonald or anyone else on a
goodwill mission to this country
at the present time.
All in Confusion
No overtures have been made
by Britain through diplomatic
channels concerning the posi-
bility of a Macdonald visit, but
the fact rumors of such a visit
have cropped up in the British
press two or three times within
10 days has led to suspicion that
some authoritative quarter may
be inspiring them.
If the British actually are hint
ing for an invitation, indications
here are they will be disappointed
unless they request it outright.
It has not been forgotten in
authoritative quarters here that
the former British premier in
jected the foreign debt issue into
the 1888 London World Economic
Conference after virtually promis-
ing President Roosevelt here in
the spring of that year that the
debt issue would be kept out OF
the conference.
MacDonald's action in mention
ing the necessity for new debt
settlement in his opening address
to the conference 1rked American
officials both here and at the
conference.
Welcome in Question
If the British government should
formally propose that Mr.. Mac
Donald come over, he undoubtedly
would be welcomed, but not quite
as wholeheartedly as might be de-
sired.
On the other hand, it is felt
that if Great Britain is desirous
simply of making a goodwill geS-
ture by sending over some promi-
nent parsonage, Lloyd George, the
fiery little Welsh leader and war
time premier, might suit the pur'
pose better.
Doubt prevailed the British
might be desirous Of reopening
the debt question in view of
Britain's statement, in its debt
note of 10 days ago, that it did
not consider the time opportune
to do so.
