The American Note conveys an assurance that the United States Government is fully disposed to discuss, through diplomatic chân- nels, any proposals which the
British Government might desire to put forward with regard to the payment of this indebtedness,
adding that such proposals would receive careful consideration with
a view to eventual submission

The British reply, dated Decem- bez. 10, after welcoming this as- surance, states:-"In June last,
ex-
His Majesty's Government ","plained the circumstances which"
had forced them to decide to suspend payments under the fund- ing and moratorium agreements, pending a final" revision of the war debt settlement. In that Note, it was stated that recent events had shown that discussions with a view to final revision of the settlement could not at that time usefully be renewed.
"His Majesty's Government have "again"most carefully reviewed the position, but they regret that they have reached the conclusion that the considerations which govern- ed their decision six months ago apply with equal force to-day. “Ac-, coodingly, they feel it would be useless, and therefore unwise, to initiate negotiations at present, but they will continue' to watch i for any effective opportunity af taking steps in that direction.”—..
