ROOSEVELT POLICY. Co-operation With Hoover Not Expected. NEGOTIATION WITH DEBTORS. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 11.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, December 20. President Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt are understood to have already exchanged views on the debt question. Mr. Roosevelt's attitude is described as sympathetic but firm against dividing responsibility with the President. . Friends of Mr. Roosevelt are convinced that he will stand by his previously announced policy that debt negotiations should be conducted through regular diplomatic channels and separately with the debtor nations. Senator Swanson (Virginia), the Democratic member of the United States arms delegation, who has been regarded as perhaps the first choice of the President for a place on the debts agency, said: "The power to negotiate all foreign relations is left with the President under the Constitution. The methods he adopts have been left entirely with him under law and custom. I think a situation has developed that makes it wiser for the United States to conduct separate negotiations. The United States is really the only creditor nation, and joint negotiations would only bring a solid front against us."
