Chancellor To Present British Views
IMPORTANT STATEMENT

TO-MORROW
CHINA LOBBYING ON SILVER
London, June 14. The Chinese delegation to the World Economic Con- ference is actively lobbying, largely, it is understood, on the silver question.
Mr. T. V. Soong has had con- versations on the silver question with both the British and Ameri- can delegations, but hitherto it; is not believed that any tangible proposals have emerged.
The Chancellor of the Exche quer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, will make an important statement putting forward the British pro- posals at to-morrow's sitting of the World Economic Conference.
The Austrian Chancellor, Dr. Dollfuse, is also expected to speak, and will later return to Vienna to
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPHNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1933.
SENATE AND PRESIDENT AT LOGGERHEADS
COMPLICATING
FACTOR IN THE DEBT SITUATION
(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH”).
(By Telograph Copyright, Telographio Messages Ordinance, 1804. Received, June 14, 8.30.a.11.)
WASHINGTON, JUNE 13.
AS THE HECTIC ELEVENTH-HOUR BICKER- ING OVER THE WAR DEBTS QUESTION IS REACHING ITS CLIMAX, THE SENATE IS REFUSING TO ADJOURN AND TO REMOVE ITS MOST UNWELCOME PRESENCE FROM THE HARASSED PRESIDENT.
The Senate and President Roosevelt are still facing a complete deadlock over the tussle to reduce the recent cuts from the ex-Soldiers' allowances.
The President's plans provide for economies of U.S.$460,000,000. The modifications would reduce the saving by anything from $60,000,000 to $150,000,000.
The House of Representatives has already gone into recess waiting for the Senate to pass whatever legislation remains pending prior to adjournment sine die.
The war debts die-hards are overjoyed at this op- portunity to continue their jealous watch on the White House and are ready_to_rush in and denounce any attempt "to see off Uncle Sam in Europe.”
NO REPLY FROM WASHINGTON
HOUSE OF COMMONS DISAPPOINTED
London, June 14, * A crowded House of Commons received a further disappointment late last night when Mr. Nevilla Chamberlain was expected. to make an announcement of the Cabinet's decision on the war debts question.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he was still unable to make a statement because he had not yet received a reply to the proposals he had made to Washington-Reuter,

TARIFF REDUCTIONS.
No artificial measure could re- store prices to where they were before the crisis, and all offorts should be directed towards the roconstruction and stability of in- ternational relationships.
