C — Representations by this government to France and Czecho-Slovakta regarding their debts to the United States are having their effect. It is expected that both coun tries will begin funding negotiations very soon, it was k-arned authorita tively. Conclusion of a satisfactory arrange ment with France would be regarded by officials here as settling one of the most important and vexing foreign problems now confronting tho admin istration. That nation is America's largest debtor, owing $4,213,000,090, and recurring unofficial reports that she was ready to arrange for funding her obligations during the last few years never have resulted in any real action. *• Czechoslovakia owes the United States $118,000.000, and funding nego tiations are expected to begin not later than similar discussions with the French. Italy will start negotiations here soon for the funding of her $2,000,- 000,000 debt, and Belgium will send a commission to Washington for the same purpose in July, it has been an nounced. With France and Czecho slovakia coming into line, and Great Britain, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania and Poland already having concluded satisfactory arrangements, this gov ernzoedt could consider the major part of its debt problem as settled. 182 AND AMUNDSEN SEES ICE ONLY THE DALLBS, OREGON Explorer Ie Convinced No Land Exists * In Norwegian Sector.
