NEW PROPOSALS
BUT FRANCE MUST MAKE DECEMBER PAYMENT
WASHINGTON, APR. 26.
IT IS AUTHORITATIVELY LEARNED THAT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS PREPARING A RE- SOLUTION FOR PRESENTATION TO CONGRESS AUTHORISING A NEW MORATORIUM ON WAR DEBTS UNTIL AFTER THE WORLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE.
Only one difficulty remains to be overcome as far as the President is concerned. The postponement of war debt payments is understood to be conditional upon an agreement with France whereby the French Govern- ment would meet the payment of last December's instalment, which France defaulted.
President Roosevelt and M. Herriot are now dis- cussing this issue.
