Sir Ronald Lindsay’s visit to Mr. Roosevelt at Warm Springs saved considerable time, “where time is an element of vital importance,” the Ambassador said to-day, he revealed that the discussion covered every possible subject which might arise at the war debts conferences after Mr. Roosevelt’s inauguration.

Sir Ronald Lindsay said he would report fully to the British Government on Mr. Roosevelt’s attitude on these matters so that British experts might arrive at Washington prepared to “come to grips with problems in a businesslike manner.” He declined to comment on any of the opinions that Mr. Roosevelt advanced.. While the length of the Ambassador’s stay in London is uncertain he expects to return to Washington in advance of the British delegation. Asked if Mr. Roosevelt had invited Mr. MacDonald to head the delegation Sir Ronald replied that Britain would appoint her own delegates. Sir Ronald Lindsay had a private talk with the Secretary of State, Mr. H. L. Stimson, on Monday night on war debts before departing for London bn Tuesday. It was his first contact with a representative of the Hoover administration since his visit to Mr. Roosevelt during the week-end.
