WASHINGTON, TO-DAY.

THE EVENTS AT GENEVA ARE BEING CLOSELY FOLLOWED HERE, FOR IT IS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE THE KEY TO THE WAR DEBT PROBLLEM.

If the results at Geneva are satisfactory, President Roosevelt will almost certainly ask Congress to take some action before the June instalments become duc, and should it be demonstrated that a moratorium is essential to the success of the Conference, the President is ready to defy the Congressional Opposition and demand the necessary powers,

One of the President's difficulties is that France is opposed to paying the December instalment without a guarantee of a moratorium, while Congress is not willing to even consider a moratorium until the instalment is paid.-Reuter.

The first official expression of the resentment felt in Germany at the speech made by the British War Minister, Lord Hailsham, in the House of Lords, last Thursday, was voiced yesterday, by Captain Vom Papen, former Chancellor, and now Vice-Chancellor in the Hitler Ca binet.
