DEBT PROBLEM IS BIG PERIL TO LONDONPARLEY Wide Divergences Developing in Views of United States and Europeans. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ScriDP*-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, May 11.—Wide divergencies between the views of the United States and Europe on war debts, threaten to deadlock the world economic conference from the start. Both Great Britain and France have indicated to the United States that nothing definite can be accomplished at the London parley, beginning eo.ually definite is done about the debts. Monetary stabilization and removal of existing restrictions, Britain and France insist, absolutely are vital to world trade recovery—a principal aim of the United States —yet the British position is that debt revision is essential to any settlement of these problems. This attitude is constructed here as a clear indication that unless President Roosevelt and congress, between them, in some way can satisfy Europe on the debt issue, the London meeting may fail of its purpose. Expect Some Revision Neither the British nor the French, it is understood, expects complete revision of Europe’s sll,000,000,000 war debt to this country between now and June 12, it is said, they will insist upon two things before any definite agreements are signed. 1. They desire an understanding with regard to the $75,950,000 installment which Britain is scheduled to pay the United States on June 15, and the $40,730,000 which France is supposed to pay on the same date. 2. They want at least a gentleman's agreement that whatever is done at London will be followed immediately by revision of the existing settlements. They may stipulate, under certain contingencies, that the more impoi-tant results at London shall become effective only after such revision. Currency Problem Studied Stabilization of the principal currencies of the world, the first of the major tasks at London, is assumed to involve the return to gold, not only of the United States, but Great Britain, and on this point the British official position is categorical. 1. Britain, Sir Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, declared, will not return to gold unless she is certain she can stay there. 2. She can not be certain of staying there until she knows definitely how much of a drain on her gold reserves the war debt will be. 3. She can not be definite on that score unless and until there is a final settlement. Thus the British—and with them the French and the other debtor nations which follow the FrancoBritish lead—inextricably tie debt revision and world economic recovery together, whereas the officially stated American position is the exact opposite.

Silver Proposal no Cure With regard to the June 15 payments, neither British nor French are said to look with enthusiasm upon the American proposal to accept silver. The French would have to buy silver in the open market, and their first move to do so, they claim, would cause the price to shoot up at once to the stipulated 50 cents an ounce. So. they assert, they would gain nothing by the move. Britain, with access to the Indian treasury, where 200,000,000 oimces are available, would have to drain it of the last ounce to pay the June installment. At 37 cents an ounce, approximately the present price, the Indian government silver would bring $74,000,000. REAPPROVAL GIVEN STATE'S TEXTBOOKS Given O. K. of Education Board for Next Five Years. With but eight exceptions, high school textbooks in use in Indiana schools the last five years were reapproved for a similar period by the state board of education. Governor Paul V. McNutt said the only change is in the price, which has dropped from 15 to 18 per cent. Retention of the old texts, as an economy move, and the eight new adoptions have the approval of educators throughout the state, the Governor declared. Find Body of Dog in River “Body in the river” was the report which brought three police squads to the West Washington street bridge today. The officers found the body of a large black dog. weighted with bricks tied about its neck with rope.
