WAR DEBTS MORATORIUM.
BRITAIN NOT SEEKING RENEWAL.
INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN ELECTION.
Received September 15, 12.10 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 14. The Daily Telegraph’s diplomatic correspondent says: “The period for giving' notice to America of the desire of den-tor nations for a postponement of future war debt payments expires to-day. The British Government has decided not to ask for a debt moratorium, as it would mean raising a minor point and might easily force the war debts problem to the forefront during the American election. This both governments are anxious to avoid.
Instead, a broad provisional moratorium is expected which will facilitate debt negotiations in 1933 after the World Economic Conference.
