EUROPE SEES RAY OF HOPE ON WAR DEBTS Diplomats Troop to State Department to Find Out ‘lnside.’ By 1 nil'll Vrr * WASHINGTON. May 10—Debt conscious diplomats trooped to the state department today “to pay their respects” to Secretary of State Cordell Hull and. p-rhaps incidentally, find out how much cash their governments will have to pay on their debts to this country to maintain or regain respect. Thursday is “diplomatic day" at the stare department, the day of the set a'ide to call at the department and pay respects to officials there. This nicety is observed with clock-like regularity, even though the country which the diplomat represents may not have paid anything on its matterial debt to this counrty in several years. Today, however, the debts took precedence over social obligations, due to President Roosevelt's pronouncement that passage of the Johnson act had made no material change in the policy of this government concerning European debts. He indicated that the door still is open to governments desiring ro pay mere ‘tokens’’ on their debts, providing they can prove that a “token" is the best they can do. “Diplomatic day” provided an opportunity for the diplomatic representatives to inquire regarding the pronouncement. Approximately $175,000,000 in debt, installments become due on June 15. Administration officials believe there is less than a ghost of a chance of collecting more than a small portion.

JAPAN OPPOSES LEAGUE EFFORT TO UNIFY CHINA Policy Ignores Nippon as Stabilizing Influence, Tokio Says. By l nit'd Print TOKIO, May 10.—Japan is op posed to the proposal that the League of Nations increase its reconstruction activities to unify China because such a program is foredoomed to failure and ignores Japan's responsibility in the Far East, a spokesman for the foreign office said today. The reconstruction plan, advocating an increase in the league's technical work among the Chinese, was laid before the League at Geneva by Dr. Ludwig Rajchman on his return from the Far East. Dr. Rajchman's activities in China were partially responsible for Japan's "Hands Off China” declarations. The foreign office spokesman said that national consciousness in China practically is non-existent and for that reason any plan such as the league's agent presented would fail. In Japan's opinion, no foreign co-operative assistance to China can succeed because the Chinese lack stability.
