BRITISH NOTE CREATES DEEP IMPRESSION IN U.S.

British press opinion is unani-} mous in regarding the war debta note as a great state paper, main. taining the Marue high level of statesmanship of successivo Bri- tish Governments towards a situ tion created by these huge inter- Governmental obligations. Tho arguments which the note advances have long been famillar to leading economists throughout the world.
As the Times Washington cor. respondent points out, it is coun- mon knowledge that indspondent of its presentation of a London caso the note is in a large sonse found convincing not only by Pre- sident Hoover but by all those whose executive position giva them knowledge of and concern o the world situation. 1
The immediate importance, how- ever, attaches to the effect which the hole may have upon Congress, which meets next week, and whose hands the decision lies

Press Comment.
In the evening newspapers hope is expressed that the note will have more effect when its points are bet- ter understood.
The Frening Standard, regards the argument that payment must inevitably result in a further dis astrous fall in commodity prices as singularly impressive. This, it Bays, constitutes a grave' throat to the farming community of the United States, which is most up- posed to any cancellation of debt.
The Star also emphasises that s settlement which would raise the price of grain and cotton by th smallest amount would pay Ameri- ca far better than could a receipt of gold from Britain.
