BRITAIN’S WAR DEBTS.
PAYMENTS TO AMERICA. PROPOSALS EXPLORED. THE REALITIES FACED. . WASHINGTON, April 25. Mr MacDonald and Mr Roosevelt to-day discussed thoroughly the problem of Britain’s war debt to the United States. A joint statement issued by the heads of the two nations said the debt conversations would be continued In London and in Washington after Mr MacDonald’s departure. It emphasised that the day’s discussion should be regarded as only a preliminary exploration of many different proposals. Summarising their study of the war debt problem Messrs Roosevelt and MacDonald said: “Both of us have faced the realities and the obligations. Both believe that as a result there has been laid the basis of a clearer understanding of the situation affecting the two nations. It would be wholly misleading to Intimate that any plan or settlement is under way.
“The point to be emphasised is that, with the most friendly spirit, progress is being made."
