It is stated that Government circles hope that the Hoover Morotorium, which is due to expire in December will be extended pending a thorough examination of the whole question.

According to the Daily Herald, the British proposal is that the debt should be scaled down by agreement and a huge international loan at a low rate of interest should be floated in London, New York and Paris to meet all American claims.

In the meantime, the payment of £29,000,000 which falls due from Britain on December 16 will be, it is hoped, postponed by mutual consenterReuter
