President Coolklre whs faced squarely with the responsibility for ob taining settlement of foreign war debts of $12,000,000,000. only one-third of which has been funded. Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon and .Senator Smoot, Utah, re publican. both members of the Amer ican debt-funding commission, came to this little mountain pass village to Ixring to the president’s attention con sideration of the deadlock at Washing ton over the $480.000,000 Belgian debt Upon the settlement of the Belgian debt depends in large part the con summation of the French debt pf $4,- 000,000,000 and the Italian obligations of nearly $2,000,000,000. French and Italian delegations are coming to Washington soon to go over exactly the same ground, and the three late allies can be expected to offer a uní ted front in their attitude toward debts. It is unlikely that an announcement of the president's decision will be made until after Mellon and Smoot ■have returned to Washington and communicated with the Belgian com ; mission.
