WAR DEBTS ISSUE
MORATORIUM STORY LONDON, April 6. Tho statement in a Beaverbrook newspaper from a London source that President Roosevelt will grant to Britain a moratorium pending the Etonomic Conference has caused considerable surprise. Neither Sir Ronald Lindsay nor Washington has oven hinted at such. Indeed, Mr. MacDonald is anxious that the discussion should be primarily concerned with expediting the Economic Conference, to which the debts problem is merely incidental.
Undoubtedly the most that America would concede prior to formal debt negotiations would be a temporary arrangement as an act of grace, but the British, realising Congress’ sensitiveness, are not desirous of embarrassing the President by prematurely raising the debts issue.
