(A. P.) Informal conventions rela tive to a French debt settlement are again in progress, It w,ae dis closed today at the state depart ment. Confirming the fact of negotia tions for the' first time the de partment reiterated that the Washington government had sent no formal communication on the question to France. Department officials would not enlarge on their statement confirming re ports that intermittent Informal conversations on the debt Ques tion had had been- In progress from time to time. They refused to indicate In any w.ay the nature of developments of the last tew days. No Definite Proposal The statement that the dis cussion was "again" in progress was taken as a reference to the rumored dispatch to Ambassador Herrick last week of instructions believed to outline the sugges tions he was aeked to lay before French officials in conversations he might have with them. There was nothing to Indicate that their Instructions included any definito project as to terms of settlement or that they marked any change in the policy of the Washington government as to the form of settlemets. It was sard flatly that the Washington government had not changed front on the question of accepting an assignment of Ger man reparation payments by France in working out a debt set tlement agreement. It Is under stood that this question has been frequently raised and that the Washington government has always held that any settlement reached with France must be in harmony with the basic condi tion of the refunding agreement ith Great Britain. That condi tion is that settlements are not made contingent upon any out side question as to where the funds are to be obtained by the debtor nation for meeting its' ob ligations. Developments today on the French debt question did not die- close that any advance had been made as yet toward acceptance by the two governments of a defl nlte proposal advanced by either side as the baa Is for negotiations for a refunding agreement. Ap parently, neither government has put forward a statement that could be used for this purpose. both taking the position that the other in each case should take the first step toward presenting a plan of settlement.
