BRILLIANT SPEECH BY MR. S. M. BRUCE
A CAREFUL STUDY
London, Nov. 24.
The appropriate Government departments in Lon- don are giving careful consideration to the United States Government's reply, which was received to-day, to the recent British proposal for a provisional suspension of the war debt instalment due on December 15th, pending a discussion of the whole matter. It is understood the reply is a document of considerable length in which the view of the American administration is set forth along the lines already announced in the statement issued yesterday from the White House.
Official quarters in London are maintaining com- plete silence on the whole subject and the various state- ments in circulation, purporting to forecast the Govern ment action, are completely devoid of authority. In the Commons, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain refused this afternoon to make any fur- ther statement on the position and said the American reply has not yet gone before the Cabinet.

It is feared that the Ameri- can attitude on War Debts will have seriously damaging repercussions at Geneva.
Acute observers foresee un-1 favourable reactions not only upon disarmament, but also upon the Sino-Japanese dispute and the world economic conference.
The Washington Note of re- fusal to consider a postpone- ment of the payments due on December 15, despite the Franco-British concessions to Germany, has come like a heavy douche of cold water upon the, tendency in France to respond to American Influence in regard to disarmament and the Man- churian dispute.
