WORLD ECONOMICS

AMERICA AND BRITAIN CONVERSATIONS CONTINUED (Received April 2, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, April 1 The Washington correspondent of the New York Times states that the President's spokesmen let it be known today that unless the British Prime Minister, Mr. Mac Donald', requests it the United States Government will proceed on the assumption that the World Economic Conference will be held in London, in spite of hints that the French and others would prefer tho venue to be in Washington. It is pointed out that the invitation to the conference camo from Britain and it would bo an international discourtesy to discuss, or even contemplate, a change. Reports that America's special envoy, Mr. Norman Davis, now in London, carried an invitation to Mr. Mac Donald to come to Washington to discuss war debts and the agenda of tho conference have aroused interest in tho capital, but no official comment is forthcoming. Tho Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, and tho British Ambassador, Sir Ronald Lindsay, continued their conversations to-day. Later the usual perfunctory statement was issued indicating that their deliberations wero of a general nature.
